Mainstays 8 qt Air Fryer, Black - Automatic Shutoff

This was my first air fryer. It works well and seems quick enough..Although I need to do multiple batches due to the size...It works for 1 med meal. Maybe they can label these machines like such. (Well...I just started this experience so I've yet to have any reference points to give deep and meaningful feedback.) The machine is good for the price since I did not want to sink too much money into a New gadget. Not until I experience the usefulness, see the value and feel the love for it first. My next investment will be bigger! Size does matter but space is limited. Hindsight 👀 Hope any of this helps.

Worst airfryer I've had! I bought a Secura from Wal-Mart that lasted 9 years and loved it but it's no longer available. This does not have a lift out basket, hard to clean. Food flies around in it and twice has caught my parchment liners on fire! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Bought this air fryer in March 2026 and now it's June 2026. it was cheap and easy to use is the reason I bought it. Has completely stopped heating up. The air fryer I had before lasted for years, this one didn't even make it six months. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Perfect size for my needs easy to use and clean up after use. The foods I've cooked have been been chicken nuggets and potato rounds for a child. They are happy and so am I since I don't have to heat up my full size oven. The color safe I find pleasant.

I purchased it but didn’t open it until a month later and it’s now 2 months after I opened it and it doesn’t work any more and I don’t cook raw food so oil didn’t damage it very disappointing I notice now the product is on discount I brought a used one that lasted longer but I wanted to treat myself because the size of this one but now I have to buy another

I really like this.It's so easy to use. We have a air fryer that has 2 drawers. I don't like it. This one is awesome. It has 1 big 1. It makes the food good and I don't have to wash to sides one It's like an oven and a deep fryer, it's everything. It's the best one

My family is very busy and we eat on the go a lot. We usually don't do preheating. We drop it in a start timer. It comes out perfect every time. The large basket is great for nuggets and fries at the same time. I've never made rotisserie anything or donuts but I bet they also would come out perfect.

I purchased this beauty in August of 2025 as a replacement for the smallest version of this model. I had purchased the smaller version a few years prior and was blown away by its performance, and I wanted to relive the magic. As always, I purchased a two-year warranty and set that knowledge aside because Walmart had earned my trust with their products and hassle-free policy. By January of 2026, my air fryer stopped working. I revisited the unit several times, in disbelief, but no. She was done, so I reached out to Walmart, and that is when I embarked into the labyrinth of what is now Walmart's policy. Yeah, I reached out to the manufacturer, and they refused to honor their warranty on the product. MainStays, I am disappointed with you. Yes, I purchased the item during a sale (paid $45.35 with the $4(2-year) extended warranty), but I never imagined being offered a reduced amount than what I paid due to wear and taxes that I paid. They offered me "Walmart Fast Cash (under $36 to settle the claim the same day)." Yes, I was told that $2.35 was being withheld for the taxes paid to the government and was informed that it was not received by the organization. In what store would taxes paid for an item being returned not be refunded in a return? I spent a few calls and back and forth with them, and I could not understand why they would want to charge me for returning a defective product when I purchased an extended warranty. I would like to say that I only placed three calls before it was agreed that they would replace the unit with the same or equal unit, but that would be a lie. Transferred and called back a few times, determined to resolve the issue, and was told that a replacement would be sent to me within 5 business days. Received an email saying just that. That was March 25, 2026, and today it is April 10, 2026. I have not received the replacement, even though the unit is still available on the site. I called to ask for an update on my claim and was told an email had been sent explaining that a replacement isn't possible. They will only offer me two options: a gift card or check in the amount of $39.00. I regret purchasing additional items on Walmart.com while waiting for this claim to be resolved. I was confident that they would honor my warranty.

This is the air fryer! I use it to cook and it is amazing. Every time i use it, my food is crispy and delicious! it is a one of a kind. For the price, i would recommend it ! Amazing Air fryer!! I used it to cook my French fries, my fries turn out crispy! I love it!

I really trust the Mainstays brand. This Air fryer is the perfect size for a family. It has all the features you need to make delicious, crispy food, or to reheat left overs! The last Air Fryer I had (that broke) had all kinds of fancy digital controls. It had so many 'settings' but all I ever used was the on/off setting! All that digital stuff breaks too easily. This thing is extremely well built and solid. It has a wonderful no stick basket and grate - VERY easy to clean. If you are looking for a Hot Air Fryer - I highly recommend. LOVE this one!
