Molla AirSmart Oil-Free Dynamic Air Fryer, 3.2L Food Basket

I haven't owned an air fryer prior to this one, so I have no ability to compare it with other units. That said, I'm quite pleased with mine.The design is simple but smart, the packaging and instructions are elegant, and it's just amazing to be able to "fry" food without consuming massive amounts of cooking oil and making the whole house smell of oil.One thing I did which was stupid and others should avoid: Don't treat the two lights below the timer dial as buttons. You can actually press them in a little bit, but they're not buttons... They're indicator lights. -_-Performance:The amount of time to get to the thermostat temperature of 400 degrees is a few minutes, which is totally fine. I recommend preheating for about 3 minutes before throwing your food in. The Molla fryer is totally capable of making great french fries and chicken wings, which are most of what I've used for testing purposes so far. =)Ease of Use:I like the simple egg-timer style dial and the little bell ring it gives when it runs down to zero. It's not as fancy as other air fryers, but I don't need anything else. It's nice to have the unit automatically shut off at the end of the timer cycle as it prevents burning if you happen to wander away while it's running. Cleaning is easy, with the fryer basket and the drawer it sits in being separate parts.Other thoughts:It takes up a surprising amount of counter space! On the other hand, it draws attention from guests and they all want to play with it. (Bizarre.) People have even brought over their own frozen snacks that they want to test out in the unit, and been very pleased with the crispy results.I would certainly recommend purchasing one of these, especially when compared to some of the other more expensive air fryers I see on Amazon.Disclaimer: Product provided by manufacturer as a review unit.

I have had this air fryer only 2 weeks, so I must still do more testing. Preliminary results are OK. Fried chicken is juicy and crisp, just like oil-fried; it seems to draw the oil out of the chicken skin. Egg rolls are pretty good; I sprayed a light film of cooking spray to get it to glisten. French fries were a bit dry; I might have cooked them too long, will try the cooking spray next time. Batter coated fresh cod was really delish, nicely browned, moist inside. This 3.2L fryer has small capacity, about 6 chicken drumsticks or 6 average egg rolls. This is proportional to its reasonable price. Suggest the manufacturer include recipes, else each food must be cooked experimentally and not always the best, the first time around.

My husband is the cook in the family, and do to medical issues with both of us we really needed to start eating better. This is our new favorite appliance. The first day we got it, he did a 3lb bbq pork loin, baked potatos, and carrots in it. It took much less time than in the oven, and was delicious. We have since done french fries, chicken, perogies, and a host of other stuff in it, and its great. A little trick is much like doing anything in the oven flip your meats half way through. For french fries, fried mushrooms, and stuff like that make sure you give the basket a good shake about halfway through, and make sure you are not overfilling it. If you like baked or broiled chicken with crispy skin, just spray your chicken with a little butter spray or olive oil and its crisps up very nicely.

Works great at fist but starts peeling paint in the basket area after a month or two.

This works ok but its very big and takes up alot of space. I like it though.

The item was shipped and received in good order and it's what I bought. However, I didn't realize it was so very HEAVY and bulky. It's toolarge to leave on the kitchen counter and if I put it away then I can't lift it out to use it. Very disappointed and I don't have anyone to give it to as a gift. My $100 loss. We aren't allowed to have yard sales in our community, otherwise, I would try to sell it. Bonnie

I just used this fryer for the first time today and am extremely pleased with my Air Fried Chicken. Fast, easy and delicious. And the easiest cleanup a person could ask for. I fixed two thighs, and 2 drumsticks. I left the skin on one of each, because without skin is the healthiest. They all cooked in about 30 minutes. I had dipped them in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in Panko crumbs. They were beautifully browned on the outside. succulent on the inside, The nonstick pot is wonderful. I will be using this quite often. My next try will be catfish.If it half as good as the chicken, I will never "Oven Fry" again. The paperwork that comes with it is not real helpful on times, and temperatures, but you can find some good recipes on You Tube.A Google search will give you more.

I love this. I never even heard of such a thing, but I was looking at the lightning deals one day and bam, here it was. I've used this mostly for fries and tatertots, but it works very nicely. The food always ends up really crispy and somehow it tastes better to me than the regular oven baking. Honestly it doesn't really taste like frying to me, but I actually like it more this way. I would recommend this and I actually have. Would definitely buy this again.
