Cuisinart CompactMax™ 8-Qt Basket Air Fryer

Love this “little” air fryer. It takes up very little space on the counter, but is big inside. We cooked a whole chicken in it and it came out perfect. And didn't heat up the kitchen like my big oven. So great choice for cooking especially in the summer. And it is super easy to clean. That is actually the reason why I purchased this one. We had rented a house that had something similar and I fell in love with that one. My old one was a bear to clean. And it never looked clean. This one is just wonderful. Can't say enough about it.

Many cooking options. Adjustable time and temp buttons for each. Instruction booklet was simple, clear, concise. Machine narrow but longer, so it fits on a deep counter space. Liners available to help in ease of use. Halfway through each setting. it'll beep to remind you to toss or check your item. Late getting to the air fryer party. Brothers here over the holidays, asked why we didn't have one. Told me all about them since lots of user experience. Really like so had them pick one out. Did online shopping and comparison. They picked this model.. we really like it. Best way to do vegetables well everything really! Easy cleanup with the liners. Live in the desert, don't like turning on the oven. 4 months out of the year! Have been told by many once you do air frying your oven is just for decoration! Enjoy!

This one is a game changer! Love the size which allows for so many possibilities and cleaning is a breeze! Most of the time I just wipe it out with paper towel.

We have both the 6 qt and 8 qt air fryer. Both are fantastic. The 8 qt is perfect for a whole chicken, multiple items at once or any large portion of fries and tots! 😆

I love my new Cuisinart air fryer! The size of the 8qt basket is perfect for my family of 5 and the ease of using it is wonderful!

Love this air fryer. Already a go to cooking device.

Overall, product is great. Its huge but doesnt take up space. I can cook so much food. However, the Air Fryer doesn't pre-heat. It just turns on and immediatly starts counting down on your timer. If I am Air Frying, I'd like it to reach temperature, then start the timer like most do. It also only displays the full minute instead of the minutes and seconds. I wish it had seconds like the budget brands do. When it says 2, I don't know if it is at 2:59 or 2:01, so I can't put something in for "just 30 to 45 more seconds)

Your produce section is poor. The broccoli and green peppers are very poor. They are not worth the cost. The first thing I did was dump them into a large bowl of water so they could hydrate.

Had a horrible machine oil smell that could not be burned off tried running it with water lemon juice mix and then vinegar water mix with no success. Smell was horrendous stunk up the house and even saturated the cabinets above it. Bought a cosori and will stick with that brand.

The sound of fan blades hitting a metallic object began after two minutes of operation. A second attempt produced the same result. I returned the fryer immediately. I recall the rebooting trick seen on YouTube for my Cuisinart coffee maker. These items are too costly to accept poor performance.
