Sharke, I have had Emeril's since it debuted. I had a smaller one that we fell in love with ( from Evine). I love AFs in general  It is at a great price and with free shipping, it's a good deal.

All that being said, I also bought a Gourmia from Amazon, and that's the one you might consider if you are cooking for three or more people. I have a Bosch Convection Oven and it just does not do what these little AFS do.

@Poodlepet2I think you and I have already had this conversation but I so envy you that Gourmia! . . .

Yea it's not a practical purchase for me either. Just not a deep fried fan, with the exception of the occasional conch fritter, I'd be altering my eating habits to accommodate an appliance!

I just ordered one in black.  I'm looking forward to see if it does what Emeril has presented.

I am on the fence to buy it as I really liked the one Paula Deen had on Evine. The color I wanted there was sold out. Trying to not jump too fast. Emerils is nice and do love the blue. There is just the two of us so this size should be good for us. I wish someone had both to compare for us.

@MKR14 I have one of the original air fryer's from Evine which I love.  I use it very often and am pleased with the results and the clean up.

Because I purchased it when "air frying" was new, mine is small (which is more than fine because it's just me) but I hope one day to trade my original fryer in for a larger one that could accommodate a half turkey breast from Trader Joe's for Thanksgiving.

I made some mistakes when I was first on my own in terms of purchasing a very small pressure cooker (which didn't accommodate the recipes I was interested in) so I quickly learned that if there was a chance you may be looking to make a larger amount of food (I can dream) you need to plan accordingly.

@momtochloe Thanks. I am looking at the size and also the space it will take up. If I buy one I want to keep on my counter with my Perfect Cooker. I use the Perfect cooker at least 3 times a week and I think an air fryer could work for the other days. Thanks for the input.

@MKR14 ah the Perfect Cooker . . . I am a huge fan of the WP cooker so I totally smell what you are cooking my friend (pardon the pun)! . . . .

I'm still intrigued but have to admit I see it sitting on my shelf with the Rocket Grill, Bread Maker, Pressure Cooker and Foodsaver.....  and remember the "sandwich maker"?

[Q4u]

Remember the Ronco "set it and forget it?"  I used mine up... honestly did and would probably buy another one (the small sized one) if they ever bring it to the Q again.... That along with the Ninja Cooker I bought a couple of years ago, two of the best appliances I've ever used....
