My son gave us his Ninja because his flat is tiny and the Ninja took up too much room. It's wonderful! I make the Ritz chicken stock, which is fabulous. After roasting chicken wings and various veg for 1 hour in roasting pans in the oven then, putting everything in a large saucepan, it will then take 3 hours to simmer. It takes 45 minutes in the Ninha pressure cooker attachment! It grills and roasts like a dream. Our son missed it so much that he got himself a smaller Ninja, which has a rotisserie in it. The chicken is amazing. Ninja every time for me!

I appreciate what you were trying to do, but I think it might be better to review the cheapest and most expensive air fryers with the highest ratings. I agree that sometimes you get what you pay for, but not everyone has a budget that will allow them to spend $200 on an air fryer. Just because an air fryers is expensive or has the name of a famous chef on it doesn't mean it will be a good value. And just because an air fryer is not expensive doesn't mean it will be garbage. The one in this video definitely is, but I don't think all cheap ones are. Just my opinion of course. Love watching your videos and I'm looking forward to seeing the showdown between the Cosori and the Paula Deen.

@susanrobinson408 Жыл бұрын

I would be interested in the Paula Deen. I'll bet the difference in price is for her name only. By the way, I finally got my Cosori last week after waiting since 2/25/23.

Suggestion on your fire extinguisher for the kitchen. Home Depot, there is a fire extinguisher that is a nozzle like you’re pushing for Raid, winder, etc. , and you know all the normal cans. Not a big thing. It’s about probably $15 now it’s good for five years. And it is just handheld like a can of anything or and it is fantastic. Just a suggestion.

Your late husband was a wise man. I'm all about fixing things when I can, but the heating elements of an air fryer get hot enough to cause severe burns and start fires. The risk of trying to fix one is just not worth the modest savings, especially if you're talking about Gourmia air fryers, which are usually under $100.

To get a box out of a box - which you had trouble with - you, don't need a second person, you simply: 1. Turn the box upside down. 2. Cut open the BOTTOM. 3. Fold the flaps out. 4. Flip the whole thing over and place it on the floor, with the flaps out. 5. Grab two of the flaps - on opposite sides - and lift. 6. The outside box slides off the inside box, which is left sitting upright on the floor.

I've ordered the Dreo. It will give a new definition to the term most expensive. I ordered early for $199. As the program kicks into gear, it will become more expensive. As I have watched the demonstrations, it seems to be much more than just an air fryer, using a probe that samples both the food item temperature and the internal oven temperature. It also has a water source to keep some things moist while others might be crisp. Seems to have a lot of intelligence with a wide choice of selections and internal recipes; a much advanced technology.

I noticed a few other strange things with the "Fryernetic" air fryer. For example, the pictures on Amazon show a somewhat different control panel than your unit had. The "Appointment" button on yours is a "Preset" button in the pictures, but neither makes much sense, since the unit also has a "Function" button. Maybe it's supposed to be a Turn Reminder button. I also have no idea why an air fryer needs a "Nut" or "Nuts" preset. I suppose I could toast nuts in my air fryer, but that's not something I would do very often. And, as a few others have pointed out, this unit probably doesn't have a UL listing because of its 2400W power usage claim. If that claim is accurate, it most likely means that the air fryer was intended for countries with 220-240V household electrical systems, and the very least that should have been changed for US-bound models would have been to change the plug so it would only fit in 20-amp sockets. All in all, this was a very entertaining review, although it would have been even more so if you could have worked your kids into it somehow. 😄

but that's also overly generalized. Cheap doesn'T equal bad. 2 of my family members have also cheap air fryers , here the are also around 40-60 euros and theirs work fine, not well known brand, super cheap , not much rating and still doing the job for years.But I'm more sceptical . I want my first airfryer to christmas this year to be a cosori, becasue I'm pyrophobic and it seems to be the best choice since many on other ones wrote that they getting too hot outside and such things.

That’s a huge generalization. Mine was $30 from Walmart and it’s amazing.

I have an Instant Pot brand 6 quart Air Fryer I bought from Target and it’s perfect. I actually got it refurbished by Target because I’d much rather pay $50 than $120 and I’ve gotta say they did a really good job at refurbishing it. So I would highly recommend, but if they don’t have the refurbished ones definitely wait for a sale. Like I just looked and a new one is on sale for $80

I agree with you about that air fryer. I wouldn't want to have something like that in my house that kept on running when you pulled the basket out. Good thinking for having a fire extinguisher in your house. As for your fire extinguisher, they last 10-12 years.

@dlewis9760 5 ай бұрын

Write the expiration date ON THE BOTTLE so it stands out. Also, buy one with a gauge. The bottle may say 10-12 years. Not much good if you find out that you had a tiny pressure leak at year 5 and needed it at year 6. I tossed one this year about 4 years after it's shelf life. You yucks, I tried it out. It worked fine. It didn't have a gauge. Still would have bought a replacement. But I probably would have kept the expired one as long as the gauge was in the green zone.

Amazingly, this product is still on Amazon. Except now it has 4 ratings and all of them are 1 star. Judging by those reviews, this video is pretty accurate. I'm a little surprised that there aren't any fake 5 star reviews yet. The only thing I would question is why someone would put plastic clips inside an air fryer and not expect something to smell.

Love your reviews... Could you possibly do a comparison between the Duronics AF34 and Ninja Foodi Flexdrawer... Just wondering because the Duronics AF34 comes with two drawers and a separate single lager drawer... Yes granted it might take up more storage space for which ever drawers you don't use but it's cheaper than the Ninja but wondering if it's worth it?? Would very much like your unbias opinion on this! I really hope you read this comment and hopefully consider the request!

@Nan215 I have one Gourmia French Door air fryer that I use in the house and another one we use in our RV. It has about 17 preset functions (I have used many of them). I love it! It was $99.00 at Walmart and hasn't let me down. My son in law and one just like it that he took with him to various jobs (he works on the road in construction). He's used it for about 2 1/2 years and never had a problem, that's why I got mine. It's so nice to be able to use the 400 temp when it's called for and my kitchen doesn't heat up. I had a Power XL that I loved and wore it out, lol, after about 5 years, but I didn't like the way it heated up the area of my counter that I sat it on to use (had plenty of room around it too).

@Hacker-xe8yv Жыл бұрын

I went through 3 different air fryers when they first came out, with infomercials, etc on TV. The problem with all of them was after a couple of uses the nonstick coating in the baskets started flaking off. I took a few years break then tried the Cosori. No problems, Use almost daily.

Just a question - Have you, in all your multitude of ordering air fryers from Amazon, ever received one that was used and dirty? I watch your videos and carefully chose a model you tested. When it arrived, it was grossly dirty and apparently used before - and never cleaned. Needless to say it went right back. So … have you ever received a dirty product? Many thanks!

@luminousmoon86 Жыл бұрын

This is the fault of Amazon, most likely. Someone probably bought the air fryer and used it and then decided to return it, and somehow it got put back on Amazon's warehouse shelves as new inventory instead of a return.
