I had not one but TWO Cuisinart air fryers, although they were a slightly different more digital model, like [this](https://www.cuisinart.com/large-air-fryer-toaster-oven/TOA-95NAS.html). Both wound up dying completely out of nowhere and cuisinart only replaced the first one because I was out of warranty by the second. I was pretty pissed and it seemed so wasteful to have 2 die in a 3 year period. I’m convinced it’s just a faulty product. Also, it was just okay while using the air fry function, often burning things. It’s not technically a proper air fryer a la the ones with a little tight drawer. Would not recommend cuisinart for an air fryer, after my experience!
It’s not cheap, but I would spend the money to get a Cuisinart air fryer/oven combo. I have a larger combo microwave/oven that I almost never use, but we use the air fryer every day (toast, pizzas, roasting veggies, cooking proteins, etc). It came with a small baking stone and a couple of small pans. It’s not super tall, so breads or cakes can be a little tricky, but it’s fantastic.
I have only had it for a year so I cant say much about the longevity, but I have the stainless steel cusineart 1800w air fryer from Target. At the time it was on sale $99, a lot cheaper than similar ones from other brands. Seems like a decent device to me.
I have a different but similar Cuisinart air fryer/oven, and I love it. I think I use it more than the microwave most days.
My only gripe with it is that the knob on my model (it only has one) is wonky, and sometimes you turn it up and the numbers go down, or vice versa. It needs to be turned with just the right amount of pressure to get the knob to work right.
Also, I cook 90% of food at 375 degrees regardless of the package directions. If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly.
