"The build quality is amazing, thing is a tank (99% sure it could stop a bullet). ... I have it for 5-6 years now, pretty much bought it right after release and its still every bit as good as it was out of the box. ... And I use it day and night, summer and winter, water or ice, be it +30C or -30C whatever."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"I’ve used mine at least once a day if not 2 or 3 for 4 years. ... Solid and dependable. ... I love it so much I bought a backup last week, I don’t want to not have it."
"I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space"
"Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them."

"I particularly love the fact that I’m not putting my food in contact with plastic at high temps."
"Yes, the basket is stainless steel."
"I like that the rack that the food actually touches is stainless steel."

"It air fries, bakes, grills, toasts…"
"It's AMAZING as a single person who just wants to cook one (1) potato or one (1) serving of mac & cheese without having to heat an entire oven. ... You can use baking dishes & silicone trays in it, which is what I do 95% of the time."

"It’s like a microwave that’s really an oven - perfect for reheating leftovers and frozen food"
"Just bought a second one for work, use it daily for Bare nuggets and the air fryer crispy wings (add five minutes and a nice rub halfway through)."
"it also is great at reheating foods that are meant to be crispy."

"it pales in comparison to our Cosori basket-style air fryer. Truly, there's a dramatic difference in the crisping and overall texture of foods prepped in the Cosori vs. Cuisinart."
"chicken is gross on that one I learned."
"I had this toaster oven and it burned everything! ... I put an oven thermometer in it, and it was never at the temperature I set it to. ... It would often get up to 500 degrees when I set it at 350."

"I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck."
"You can’t clean the damn thing either."
"it is very hard to clean so I just gave up at some point."

"Replaced with the same about a year ago but the construction is a little cheaper. ... On the newer models they used thinner stainless steel and you can hear the metal flex when it heats up or cools down. ... The older model didnt."

"I am on my 2nd one as the 1st one failed and was warrantied by Cuisinart. ... Now this one is starting to fail again in the same manner (the rotary control knob jumps around randomly and doesn't increment up or down cleanly) ... After watching a video by [Technology Connections](https://youtu.be/6h9JhW-m35o?si=I_99KK_tbr30_yc) the control board being above the oven is a big achilles heel of these machines. Over time the heat will degrade the operation of things until it becomes inoperable. ... yeah mine started to fail after 2-3 years of use."
"My cuisinart digital air fryer died twice because the knob kept going crazy after 9 months."
"What ’s bad is that the Cuisinart digital air fryer will break after 9 months with the dial so long term durability isn’t a factor in this review. ... I warrantied mine 2 times already and they said that was the last time."

"If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly."
"the dials never worked correctly."
Love my cuisinart air fryer combo. I use it daily. Something’s have to be reheated in a microwave but I definitely prefer the experience from an air fryer
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->I have that lid, too, but it’s bulky and I rarely use it because the “air fryer”basket is so small. It’s great for roasting frozen chicken if you just want one or two pieces and haven’t had time to defrost. I much prefer my Cuisinart “toaster oven broiler” with convection. Add a basket and it’s sort of an air fryer, too, but it can accommodate a much larger 13” pan, a quarter baking sheet, etc.
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->I have an air fryer and an air fryer toaster oven (cuisinart). The air fryer works MUCH better. It cooks faster and gets things much crispier. The toaster oven version works good as an oven replacement, but it is not as good of an air fryer. It is good for frozen pizzas or reheating leftovers though (pizza won’t fit in the air fryer, and some things you want more of a gentle reheat than a crispy cook). I think the toaster oven ones just tend to have less powerful fans and more area to move air about so they don’t convect the air as well as the basket units.
r/airfryer • Can an air fryer oven truly replace both an oven and a frying pan? ->I really wish some company would make a simple air fryer with all stainless steel or enamel coated like a real oven. Also reducing the number of settings would be nice to simplify things. I want it to last 10 years+ not 1-3 years like they currently do. Make it fit a standard 9x13” pan for the oven styles. Somehow Breville breaks, Cuisinart, Oster, Hamilton beach, etc. I’ll spend $400 if it’s like Vitamix and last a while, but all of the brands die so easily so it’s hard to judge. My cuisinart digital air fryer died twice because the knob kept going crazy after 9 months. So now I’m on the new version and it hasn’t happened for me yet after 5-6 months, but I bought a new Instant Pot basket style but still Teflon (rated the best from Americas Test Kitchen).
r/Costco • Has anyone tried the Gourmia air fryer oven? ->What’s bad is that the Cuisinart digital air fryer will break after 9 months with the dial so long term durability isn’t a factor in this review. I warrantied mine 2 times already and they said that was the last time.
r/BuyItForLife • RTINGS Tested 20 Toaster Ovens Against A Full-Size Oven And Found They Deliver Faster, More Efficient Cooking For Daily Use ->Cuisinart sucks just fyi, especially the digital air fryer ones. Ninja is good just they don’t seem to have a good size. The tilt one doesn’t have enough clearance to see or even put things like 1-1/2” steaks and the non-flip one is giant.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Fryers on the Market to Buy Now? ->We have one of the cuisinart combos and it works pretty well. It’s a better toaster oven than an air fryer only because it doesn’t have a basket or drawer like the air fryers, but it still does air frying decently well. I used the broiler function a lot for heating up pizza slices or putting a crust on top of baked items. My only complaint is that the display is acting up after about 3 years of hard use, so the timer isn’t very useful so I just set timers on my phone for it.
r/Cooking • Toaster Oven or Air Fryer? ->Same for us. Very happy with it, but I will say it doesn’t get battered food quite as crispy as some air friers. 2-3x better than a normal oven but a step behind what you see in air fryer videos.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->Do you have glass air fryers in India? I bought a Salton glass air fryer and it is not toxic, goes to 400F, takes the same time to cook fries, fish, steak... I love it. I also bought a Cuisinart oven toaster air fryer but I do not like it for an air fryer: takes longer to cook, is difficult to clean and it costs more. I also bought the Ninja air fryer and stopped using it because the coating was flaking. Dangerous. Good luck!
r/airfryer • Looking for buying new airfryer in stainless steel or non toxic material, Location-India? ->I am single with a kid and the Cuisinart one the is more like a toaster over/air fryer combo is really now my go to! I air fry chicken breast /veggies etc along with toast- it’s my go to- I hardly use my oven any more since it’s takes so much longer to preheat etc ( also makes house hot in the summer)
r/Cooking • do I need an air fryer? ->There’s air fryers shaped like mini ovens with multiple functions like toast, bake, air fry. I have a Cuisinart one that’s really good
r/Cooking • The air fryer isn't cutting it for me—what should I get instead? ->We have the same brand and have shared this experience. Well made and it is actually a pretty good toaster too.
