I have resisted buying an air fryer for some time, but eventually decided to give one a try. I don't have any other experience to compare it with, but it seems to work perfectly well. I bought this model because I have limited worktop space and wanted one with a small footprint, and was pleased I could buy one by what appeared to be a British company, but on reflection, one with a square basket would be much more user-friendly. Although it has a decent capacity, not as much of it is useable as I'd like, so it's only really suitable for 2 people. I may not keep it in the long run, but will pass it on to my step-daughter if I find I don't have enough of a use for it to earn its worktop space!
