[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon first opening, I was suprised and skeptical on the plastic base that holds the glass bowl. The only gap in between are rubber stoppers. If it weren't for those small pieces, I think the plastic would melt when the glass gets hot.
With such a large bowl, it's larger capacity than the airfryers that I've seen. I've been wanting a glass one, because I feel they are better than the plastic, hard to clean ones. You can change things around like put the metal ring on the bottom and the bowl sits on top, you can use it to make more room in the bowl as well, but it does makes the lid less secure.
Actually, you don't even need the base since all the heating comes from the lid, I could honestly even place it onto a silicone mat.
I love that I can monitor the food rather than guessing/smelling if things got burnt. But I worry about it being glass as it can crack and accidents may happen. The accessibility of a bowl replacement may not be there, especially with a only a year warranty. The other issue I have us that since it's such a large item, I don't have much room for it on the countertop nor storing it in the cabinets, but it seems like it has to stay out. It seems mostly for big parties or events like cooking turkey. Otherwise, I would just stick to the smaller bowls.
I also really love the auto shut off feature. Once the timer runs out it shuts, I was also told it can shut off when I lift the lid, but it hasn't happened for me yet.
I also noticed the printed text on the dial has already scratched off, over time, I wouldn't be able to tell if I have the correct amount of timer and temperature.
My few other concerns are the halogen light, eventually it will go out, It's not easily replaceable. Lastly, The wire being too short, since I would only be using it on the island or peninsula, the wire has to reach places and not many homes have conveniently places outlets.
