Elite Platinum 6.5qt Air Fryer with Adjustable Timer and Temperature EAF-658 Reviews

This is the first air fryer we have ever owned in our household. The first thing we made with it was fried pickles. I love how much space the air fryer has inside. The design is sleek and the controls make it easy to use. I love that we can fry foods without oil. The process was not difficult and the appliance was easy to clean when finished. We can't wait to try out different recipes in this new household staple. I have no complaints about this appliance. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is a great air fryer for a family of 4. The front buttons on this are not digital; instead there is a turn dial to set the temp and cook time which actually makes things easy in my opinion. So far I've only cooked chicken and tater tots in it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The tater tots came out tasting restaurant quality; way better than baking them in an oven! Fairly easy to clean which is nice. I think it'll be great for game-day finger foods; wings, fries, tots, etc. My only complaint is it isn't exactly intuitive to use, but perhaps that's because the air fryer trend is new while I've been cooking with stoves, ovens, and grills for years. Overall, impressed with the way it cooks and will definitely use it more moving forward. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This airfryer was right on time with the new year and our families healthy eating goals. I was super excited to recieve this item. This item has only one major flaw. The first few time you use it the food tastes like plastic. Like the plastic smell infuses the food. However after the third use it phased out. I read somewhere that if you cure it so to speak, you can avoid that issue. Theres also a learning curve. Too much moisture or not cooking long enough will not garner that crispy texture we all desire. It can also he bigger. I usually have to cook in 2 rounds to feed a family of 4. But it's good for what it is. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love this product! I think it's pretty simple to use and if you look online there's recipes everywhere. The buttons are pretty simple they're just turn dials. The basket is very big! It does come with a recipe book and a tray. The only downfall is the basket has to be placed exact or it doesn't want to slide in. And I would like the tray to not have holes in it, it would be more convenient to make veggies. Overall it's a very nice product and it helps to stop the smell of grease.

I bought this a month ago and it is so user friendly. It's easy to use and has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance. It makes cooking dinner for my family of four so much less stressful. Would absolutely buy again. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I'm absolutely in love with my air fryer. I love making hard boiled eggs to eat but always dread it because I never know if they are going to peel very good. I made them in the air fryer and they came out perfect and peeled with no issues. It's easy to clean and so simple. I love how your food can be thawed or frozen. Definitely something I recommend. Comes in handy with having kids. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I got this beauty a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! This thing has changed everything I know about cooking! The sleek design makes wiping it down effortless and easy removing so much of the cooking hassles. The turn knob timer is probably the only thing I'd change I definitely would prefer a digital as the knobs are a bit hard to turn. Maybe because it's brand new and not broken in just yet. It is so much lighter than others I've look at making storage easier even my 7 year old can move it from the cabinets to the counter which makes teachinv him to cook easier.

I had heard the hype about air fryers but couldn't believe that a countertop appliance could really deliver on crispy, healthy, low fat versions of my favorite fried foods. I went ahead and took a chance on this one, since it boasts a large capacity and it looked easy to program and use. I looked up recipes to try in an air fryer and the first thing I tried were roasted brussels sprouts like I get at my favorite restaurant. I bought them pre-sliced, which if you can find seriously cuts down on prep time. I tossed with salt, pepper, chopped garlic and olive oil, and put them in the air fryer for 20 min. I shook the slide out pan a couple of times to make sure everything was cooking evenly. I served them tossed with a little reduced balsamic vinegar and it was heavenly. Crispy and delicious!! Next I tossed some wings with salt and pepper and put them on for 30 min. These I didn't fuss with at all, but tossed them with a sweet chili thai sauce when they came out. They were also crispy and delicious! I really have to say, just being able to make these two things is worth having this appliance. I can never get good results in my regular oven, and pan frying makes a mess and is hard to get right. This air fryer is so easy to use, the next thing I will try is bone in, skin on chicken breasts and I can imagine they will come out just as crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I'm so excited!! The adjustable timer and temp knobs are really easy to use, and it has a few safety features on it to ease my mind as well. If you take the basket out to shake things around, it cuts off but starts up again the minute you replace the basket. Also, it won't turn on if the timer isn't set. So I am really glad about that. The basket is easy to keep clean, and the little rack that fits inside the basket is great - it is flat with holes punched out of it, but it's not a flimsy wire rack that I have seen on other air fryers. Tonight we are making churros in it, not something I would feel like I could do if the rack was a simple wire rack. So all in all I am so glad I tried this. I give it 5 stars because it checks all the boxes for me: great value, easy to use, works as promised, and above all else, makes things crispy without frying in deep fat!!

We love the air fryer. It made such great food . Our favorite we have made is shrimp and we also liked pork loin cooked with a rub in the air fryer. The only complaint I have is it doesn't shut easily. Other than that it's a great product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We received our air fryer last week. So far, we've only used it to cook waffle fries, but they were delicious! I also own a crisper pan that I can use to "air fry" things in the oven, but they always turn out hard. The fries that came out of the Elite Platinum Air Fryer tasted like they had been deep-fried in oil. So tasty! The instructions did say to preheat a bit and that there might be a smell when first cooking; sure enough, it smelled slightly like burning plastic, so we ran it empty until the smell had gone away. I would definitely recommend this product to families! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
