Nuwave Brio 6-Quart Digital Air Fryer Including Non-Stick Baking Pan and Stainless-Steel Cooking Rack (6-Quart + Gourmet Kit), Black

great appliance
This is super. At 5.8 qts. I can add a lot of food in this and with the stackable rack I can cook two different items although the ones on top don’t cook as well. I’ll have to practice more on that one, but otherwise its easy to use and pretty easy to clean. You definitely want to use a cooking spray on the rack first and I add foil to the very bottom so clean up is simpler.

Works perfectly
We’d avoided buying an air fryer for years since they seemed a fad gimmick, but an neighbor raved about hers so we decided to try one. We did research through Consumer Reports and other sources and settled on this one although it was more expensive than most. We’re glad we did. It’s fully featured, works perfectly to fry batch after batch, and is easy to use and clean. I wasn’t sure if a fryer this large was too large, but it turned out to be just the right size for a family of four. The double-decker tray inside also helps when we need to do large batches or two different items like eggrolls and crab rangoon. We’ve even done cordon bleu and monkey bread in it. Now we stop by the frozen aisle of ethnic stores just to fund new items to throw in it: lumpia! empanadas! chicken katsu! It’s been a lot of fun!

Really pleased with my purchase
I did a lot of research before I made this purchase, not just with Amazon reviews, but others as well. I always start with the one star reviews. I always want to know what others did not like about it. Some noted the finish came off the fry draw very early on. I read a “blog” that said, “never use a fat spray product on the airfryer because it has chemical that might react harshly with the finish. I have never used a spray. I bought oil sprayer. I have never put it in the dishwasher. After it pre-heats, I place a piece of tinfoil in the bottom. When finished I remove the tinfoil and it cleans up with a few swishes of a dishcloth. It is so easy to clean. Initially, there was a bit of an odor from the product, but it never penetrated the food, and it disappeared after a few uses. I have made salmon, beef filets, beef shish kebobs and reheated fried chicken from the local fried chicken store (It tasted perfectly fresh). I have also cooked vegetables.. I am in my middle 80s and was tired of cooking meals. I might make a double amount of vegetables and reheat them a few nights later. Using the Airfryer is so much easier than cooking with regular pots and pans.

Broken straight out of the box.
Bought as a replacement because I thought I broke my parents older modle that was only used a couple dozen times over 3 years and when I used it once I got a short circuit error when I used it while dog sitting while they were out of town. Unboxed this one and read the instructions and then plugged it in to test it out and as soon as I started to preheat it the fan blades sounded like they were hitting on something metal. Was thinking it was just on start up and stop but it continued and got louder the longer it was running. Turned it off and unplugged it let it cool and spun the fan to see if I could tell what the issue was to no avail. Tested it again and seems to only do it on start and stop for now but seems like these may just be poor quality or maybe just my bad luck. I will probably send it back and buy them a ninja. Guess you get what you pay for.

Love this air fryer! Have had it about a month now. No issues. Good size. Is quiet (especially compared to my old air fryer!) What I particularly love is having the metal grate basket. It’s impossible to find another one that has a basket like this and I love all the additional attachments that it comes with. Cooks all our food great. Is a bit pricey but for all it comes with and how it’s been operating I’m happy! Nothing else matched what we were looking for so I’m glad we settled with this.
