GoWISE USA 1700-Watt 5.8-QT 8-in-1 Digital Air Fryer with Recipe Book, Black

Really works well, especially for meats
I have done various types of steak, lobster (with meat both in an out of shell), scallops, bacon, hot dogs, hamburgers, and I must say the meat comes out even better than if I cooked it on my gas grill outside! Depending on the temperature I set it, I can crisp the meat nicely on the outside and still have a nice medium rare on the inside, once you get the timing down right (try 370F for 12mins for a T-Bone steak – pull out at 4 mins left, flip meat, and put it right back in and it resumes timer). When cooking meat, I expected there to be smoke or something, but nothing has yet smoked on me. I don’t know about all air fryers, but this really cooks nice and quick without any real supervision; I only “flip” the meat and I’m not sure I really even need to do that. It is easy to operate and more importantly, very easy to clean! The controls are great and responsive and I had expected it to be louder, but it is quieter than my microwave (which I haven’t used since I got this). I’m only two weeks into using it, but I have used it two times a day and it has reduced the attention I need to spend on making sure things like bacon or steak don’t overcook. I must admit, I’m usually only try and write good things in reviews, but this review was well deserved. One note, I have not tried anything else but meats in this fryer, so you’ll have to go to another review to get the skinny on veggies and baked stuff. Thank you for a reasonably priced and perfect product for me and my diet!Update (2mo) – Still working perfectly. Still love it. Non-stick coating on basket is flaking a bit though in spots. Going to get shaped stainless steel grill to place in the basket since I don’t want to eat non-stick coating flakes.

I like it, but I have concerns
This was actually a replacement purchase. A while back (during the days of Amazon Treasure Truck) I got one of these at a fairly steep discount. I have to say that I loved it, it worked like a better microwave. I could heat up or reheat food to better flavor and consistency, temperature controls were great and I discovered a lot of versatile ways to use it including being able to fry eggs, make grilled cheese, even make breaded porkchops.So you may wonder why my review isn’t better. Well the answer is that the first one basically fell apart. Now it went through a move and I can accept that maybe it got damaged during the move or something similar. But we had a couple screws fall out during what I could classify as normal use. In addition after one fall to the floor the baskets container would not fully reconnect with the device. It also started randomly shutting off during use.Now all of this could be chalked up to wear and tear and operator error, and if I’m honest the other options at the price point either didn’t have enough volume or didn’t offer enough temperature control for the versatility I wanted. But I also noted that some of the problems I mentioned were being echoed in the comments. I was concerned but given the alternatives I decided it would be best to stick with what I knew. Now, overall it does work well and I haven’t had it try to shut itself off, however I have had a few instances where the basket and basket container will not seem to want to fit back in. In this case I know I haven’t dropped anything and neither have my roommates. While it still functions it does have me concerned that the product may have a more limited lifespan or some kind of common internal issue.I was considering 3 stars but for now the issues have been fairly minor and the other advantages still win out. I will also add that anyone looking to buy it look at getting the liner paper as it is a lifesaver as well as strongly recommend looking at some of the accessories to allow for cooking eggs. All other things considered in a studio apartment I would probably be fairly well set up with this and a decently good slow cooker

En un inicio tenia mis dudas de si el producto cumpliría con las expectativas. Una vez que llego evalué su desempeño y hasta el momento puedo decir que incluso rebaso mis expectativas. Fácil de utilizar, sencillo de limpiar, y relativamente poco ruido en su funcionamiento. El único detalle que considero pudiese mejorarse es el poder variar las lecturas de la temperatura, ya que se expresan en grados Fahrenheit, pero es sencillo realizar la conversión de ser necesario. Incluye un recetario muy bien editado y sumamente practico, además de la posibilidad de descargar su aplicación gratuita en donde también se pueden consultar las recetas. Un producto elegante y funcional que te permitirá cocinar con menor cantidad de grasas. En algunos alimentos el cambio de sabor es muy marcado, pero considero que bien vale la pena el acostumbrarse. Muy recomendable.

Can’t be used in India unless you buy a voltage converter. Took some extra effort to buy the right type of step down voltage converter.Used a few times and seem to work fine. But a lot more expensive than the ready to use Indian models without having to buy a voltage converter.
