2nd Time’s the Charm
 First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. The first air fryer I receive? Yeah, that fried itself. Not the way I intended to use an air fryer, that’s for sure. One moment it’s all systems go; the next, it’s smoking in the kitchen (see video. It’s hard to hear over the recording, but the sound would change when I added pressure to the top of the device). But hats off to the Amazon/company’s replacement policy, swift and painless. They had me back to attempted air frying in no time.Now, let’s talk about Mini Air Fryer 2.0. This one works like a charm. I mean, it’s small—like, “fits-on-a-cramped-kitchen-counter” small. But don’t let the size fool you; it does the job. For single folks, or anyone keen on portion control, it’s a godsend. Crispy fries, juicy chicken—this little dynamo delivers.That said, there’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around: the rubber feet on the crisper tray. Whose idea was this? They come off quicker than a band-aid on a toddler. They’re like the lone socks that disappear in the laundry; one minute they’re there, the next, gone. I’ve lost two of them down my garbage disposal when I was cleaning and not paying attention. My fault, I suppose, but I wish it was harder for that to happen.

Very small footprint
We have an air fryer. We hardly use it as it is too big to keep on the counter all the time. Well, out of sight equals out of mind around here. I also didn’t like using it as the drawer was very finicky and took several tries to line up correctly.This new fryer will be used for both home and camping. It is small enough to easily store in our small camper when we go.Some may not like analog controls. I don’t mind them and have the distinct advantage of not having a readout screen fail. I also don’t cook to the exact second of instructions on items.It came in early enough today to give it a quick test. I cleaned the basket/rack and then loaded in enough potato wedges to cover the bottom of the cooking area. To keep cooking spray from splattering all over the pan, I sprayed them on a paper plate first and then slid them into the basket.The instructions for the wedges said to air fry at 400 degrees for 18-19 minutes. The top of the cooker showed french fries cook at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. I set the timer for 22 minutes to kind of go between. In the end, the wedges only took about 18 minutes. I was sure to take them out and toss/shake them 3 times.The manual does not cover what to do with excess time left on the timer. My solution was to sit the bases in the front of the machine until the remaining time ran out. It worked.The wedges came out crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. You can see the end product smothered in cheddar and bacon pieces. They were cooked to perfection and were a great afternoon snack.As for the size of the pan, It is 6.75″ W x 7.25″ D. We waited to order any liners until we knew the ones we ordered would fit. It does sound small and to be truthful, it is. It is just my wife and I. That small plate of wedges was enough for both of us to feel full. It will cook enough for two and that is all we need.Pros:Small footprintEasy to useEasy to cleanIdeal for home or camperCons:Low capacity

Cooks perfect fries in10 minutes, Love it
The air fryer arrived and took it out of the box and could smell the factory plastic smells, so I put it outside on a table to air out. I plugged it in and ran it with nothing in it for about 5 minutes and it was smelling strong so after researching online how to get rid of that smell I put water inside it and ran it for another 10 minutes. I noticed the water leached the smell. I then got a paper towel and lightly rubbed coconut oil all over the inside of the pan and the tray and let it season the pan by cooking it for 10 minutes. When I pulled the pan out this time I heard something rattling inside and a screw was in the basket. It fell out from somewhere inside of the machine. I tilted it and looked up in there and all the screws were in places that I could see. My husband said maybe it was just an extra one so I decided to go ahead and use it and cooked some waffle fries and vegan nuggets. They came out crisp and perfect in about 10 minutes. I hope it last, as the air fryer cooks very well and I have been using it everyday with no problems for a few weeks now. It is also is simple to use. It has two twist knobs on the top, one for the timer and one for the degrees, and it goes up to 400 degrees. I love it so much, I’m still giving 5 stars even with the loose screw.

Great size for a dorm or apartment
I love gadgets but hate how much countertop space they claim. I wanted an air fryer for my apartment, and this compact one is the perfect size. It’s just right for one or two people, and if you don’t want to leave it out, it stores easily with a small footprint. It works well, though you have to run it a few times to get rid of the factory smell. Still, it’s worth it for how well it works, and it’s a great price, especially for its versatility. I haven’t used it to dehydrate, though it can also do that, but for air frying and reheating it’s a great product at a great value. Recommended.
