I am finally going to take the plunge and buy one. Does anyone have any recommendations. I am leaning towards a 2 or 3 quart capacity

I have the ninja and love it.I cook almost everything in there.You can find a recipe online for almost anything now.Last night I didn’t feel like cooking so I took out three chicken burger patties(Costco) and had them crispy air fried in ten minutes.We had them on potato rolls with a sauce to mimic Popeyes.I think ours were better.

I took the plunge yesterday with the TSV. You get alot with it. I have asked people who have them how they like air fryers and everyone loved it. Can't wait to get mine!

Buy one, you will love it! I have the small one (Cooks Essentials) that I bought on Q about a year and a half ago. It still works fine, however, the non stick coating is wearing off in spots. i use it everyday. I only cook for 1 so the size is perfect. If you have more than 2 people to cook for it would be too small. I was not interested in yesterday's tsv because my size works best for me.

The cleanup is the best part...one pan and the insert.I make homemade fries often.I just cut potatoes and soak in water.Dry them and mix a little olive oil in.Airfry flipping the pan every five minutes until crispy.Depending on how many potatoe you cook they are done in about 17 minutes...sooo good.I sprinkle some sea salt and serve.

@Teddixat---I plunged on thanksgiving night ----Got a super flash deal for the Instant Pot version called the Vortex, for $49 at Macys--free shipping too but it is big--6 qt and got it Saturday too--fast shipping! am putting it thru its test run right now. have been on the fence for a few years too---didn't like the egg shape of most of them. I figured you can cook small amounts in a bigger one but not bigger amounts in the smaller one---we shall see!

I have 3 and love them, but two are called convection ovens, same thing as air fryers.

I purchased a Kaloric 2 quart from QVC over a year ago. Use it several times everyday, but it's very small inside. IMO, only good for one person. Still working well.

Be careful of QVC's TSV 6 quart. Reviews for the similar version of the 6 quart are 2.8. Complaints are it stops working.

I had an older model and recently replaced it with the Ninja from Target. Love it.

I agree, I think a 2 qt is perfect for one person.

I got a Chefman 2 qt from Amazon. No presets, just a temp dial and timer dial. Only $29.99. Loved it but it was clearly too small for 2 (somes 5 ppl) Perfect for ONE only so my daughter is getting it.

I was watching the larger Chefman (6 qt) on amazon and the prices just kept going up and up and up. I HATE that about Amazon and they will NOT give you a 30 day price adjustment like QVC does.

So I purchased a 5.5 qt Gourmia...again...no presets just easy dials. I don't use presets on any appliance I own anyways!

Was only $59.99.

Used it last night and loved it.

Gourmia or Chefman are both great brands.

@Teddixat I bought the Instant Pot Vortex 10 qt 7 in 1 Air fryer oven today from Macy's for $69.96. Only issue is it will not ship until 12/24 but that is ok with me. I saved $80.00.

I actually succumbed to the Air Fryer craze last summer and bought a small one from a local retailer. I have used it twice...both times to air fry cubed potatoes, which came out great. The capacity is so small, I don't eat meat or frozen foods, so I can't say it is for me. I imagine it is great for some people. It is sitting out in my garage freezing..lol
