Vexon 6-IN-1 Glass Air Fryer,4.5QT Air Fryer with Viewing Glass Pot, Air Fry, Roast, Reheat, Dehydrate, Air Crisp Technology,Nonstick & Dishwasher Safe Basket,97% Less Oil,Features Digital Timer

Excellent SMALL capacity air fryer.Pros:Easy clean up,You are NOT cooking in a plastic container, (if that is important to you),You can view progress while cooking, as a bright light comes on when cooking starts, ends, and when the last phase of cooking begins, the "cool off", and whenever you pull out the container enough but not all the way. The fryer light shuts off, turns off when you put back in the glass container. We have this fryer near a kitchen window, so we can see the progress at anytime, but it is not really necessary to watch it continuously as it cooks. Before the light goes on to indicate completion, (there is no sound indicator), it runs a "cool down" final stage to prevent burning of the contents, and to cool the glass down from hot to a very, very warm uncomfortable for me holding temperature, to prevent burning your hands. Manual does say NOT to touch the glass, but rather hold the container only by the large comfortable handle for the glass container. I have no problems quickly touching the glass after finished cooking, but I would not hold the glass in my hand. Sensitivity to heat varies from person to person,The glass container is of heavy boron glass itself is of excellent weight glass and a large comfortable grip handle,Max temperature is 400 degrees and has a 60 minute timer. It fills all of my needs, which are demanding, but I have NEVER used the timer for more than 30 minutes. I coddle all appliances and if I don't really have to have an appliance work longer I don't. If I like an appliance it is all about long life.Works fine warming leftovers, bread, as well as toasting bread, but for that there is a long learning curve for different shades of toast. It is good for warming/toasting no slice items such as two large croissants, a large bagel, scones, etc.,Compact counter foot size,No bending at the waist for easy to read on the top touch buttons and display lights which are all under the solid plastic top layer for eary cleaning of the top,Appears well made in design and materials, right down to the electrical plug.Of this I know of what I speak having retired from owning a successful catering practice and was a professional chef, (110 box lunches with choice of two to be delivered the day after tomorrow at 11 a.m. was "no problem!", and, only if need be, I could make it all from scratch by myself with including my fresh baked dinner rolls). I usually buy expensive kitchen Aid, and other top brands. See Cons which follow why I bought this brand.Cons:First: FALSE advertising. I purchased this fryer because it uses "low" wattage..something like 860 Watts, as they stated. It really uses 1,260 watts. So fa, no regrets, and I should have known it could not be so low for my needs. SO .. I never run another appliance in the kitchen on my kitchen's single 16 amp electrical circuit for 9 wall duplex outlets along my 27 feet of granite counters for appliances while using using this fryer, that includes a toaster oven, toaster, blender, mixer, processor, chopper, grinder, etc., I have a separate circuit on a 6 foot granite counter for one duplex my microwave oven. And another circuit for a duplex for my rice cooker. Happy it all worked out.Small capacity: glass container is a square with rounded corners with middle across dimensions of 8 1/4", but this gives you some of the benefits mentioned above, and it is large enough for reheating a slice of frozen pizza from the supermarket. (We are strictly home-made electric oven stone pizzas). Capacity height is 4 inches. Think 4 quarts size, even if you are not using liquids!Glass container is heavy glass...so the container is relatively HEAVY. You need to be careful handling when fryer is over a very hard counter, such as granite, although the glass IS very thick, be careful. If on a granite counter,I always KNOW whereto counter seams are. They are finished/filled with clear acrylic, so Idon't place anything very hot...such as "right out of the oven", etc., on top of a seam,The raised metal grill is fine, but I wish they included, for an extra $2, a second raised metal bottom grill with NOT a fine wire crosshatch top, such as the one supplied. Rather, one with just one directional heavier, but still lightweight bars, like a barbecue grill, for easier cleaning with items that are not crisp after being fully cooked. The supplied grill is easy to clean if the the cooked items are very crispy.So far, I highly recommend, with the following noted:It appears well made..and "works great" but..perhaps it will not work on the 25th time I use it. If it has a short life-span the replacement will be a well reviewed brand.A side comment: Always keep in mind that many 5 star reviews are written up before the products were used sufficiently for a proper review. At least the product should have been used several times, covering all the ways it can be used and reviewed still working after the 30 days return period. Often I have read 5 star reviews written before the item had been used once! Very rarely do I read a review after it was used for one year. Like my review I have used it continuous ly for a fe weeks. I've got the time, but I won't remember to write a review a year later.Item is made in China, not Taiwan, (usually much higher over all quality including the manual/instructions, and better packed). Even the "soft cardboard packing box that it came in screams mainland China. Manual is not written poorly, but no mention of company except name brand. No where is the company's, address, contact information, etc. found. Nowhere, inside or outside on the box. Not even on the sticker underneath required for recall: model, serial number and wattage indicated. I doubt it will last , but one can hope. Welcome to our modern times.

I have been using it for few months, so far I love it. I use it for my kids' nuggets, fries, pizzas and so much more. The most important part is it's made with glass. It's safe and non-toxic, easy to wipe it clean and wash. I have to say It's one of my smart investments.

***Update*** on the metal tray.I realized that I think i was installing it incorrectly. So i think the metal loop is not a "leg" but a lifting loop.So you grab it with tongues to adjust if it gets stuck in the bowel below the glass stops. I was putting it in with it down. Actually not sure how they intended it to be used but i find that having it up is better so you can get it w tongues.Technically this is my 1st air fryer. The first one i ever had i never really got a chance to use, as it off gassed so much toxic crap the first time we used it, we literally had to leave the house! I felt sick for two days after that debacle.I just dont understand the cheap non-sense that manufacturers put out. Its our food, which is already poison, and they want us to cook it in toxic plastic fumes too?Well this one had the glass cooking basket which is why I gave it a try. I looked at a bunch but getting all stainless steel with no BS non-stick coatings is a chore. And even ceramic non-stick can have other nastiest in the coating. Not worth it folks!So far, boom! I like it!Did fries, fish, frozen tot like things, and even tried hash browns. Fries were amazing as was everything else except the fish. They were frozen fillets, no batter. I think I over cooked them. I checked at the end of cycle and though could use a little more, but 5 min was a bit too much. Was still ok, just dried it out a bit.The only negatives I can muster are the touch screen has a learning curve. Not the layout, but when you touch the buttons, its just a weird pause-like thing. You have to practice it a few times and then you'll get it, like you have to push and hold to keep temps or time moving, or press once, pause, then press again. If you just tap tap tap, it will not work right.Next is the stainless tray. Had a sharp edge that poked me bleeding faster than a Diabetics lancet!Then, the tray, with its one leg (yes one leg,) works great, but if you put it in and it dip below the glass "support" on one side, well it doesn't want to come out!Trying do jimmy it with a hot glass bowel is gonna get someone burned, almost got me. I learned however, just dump "everything" even the try, out with your food. Boom! Done!Next, the glass bowel is going to be a little heavy for some folks, but it was easy enough for me. ANd I actually LIKE that the thick glass bowl stays HOT for a long time! You can remove from unit and your food stays warm really long! A metal or ceramic basket is going to go cold too quickly.Just dont put that hot glass into a cold sink or run under water or its going to be in a hundred pieces! And yes, dont drop it.I LOVE that you can see the food so you know if its done! I cant imagine constantly opening and closing a drawer to check over and over.Now full disclosure, the bottom and sides of the unit are plastic, and the glass and some hot air does get to the plastic.I ran mine 3 times before use, in a small bathroom with door closed. I WANTED to see if the thing off-gassed plastic fumes and wasnt going to wreck my whole house again with fumes!I ran it at 300 for 10 minutes. Got a very slight plastic smell. Ran again at same. Then I did 340 for 10 minutes. The the final one was the steak setting at 400 for 20 minutes. I only got a very slight plastic smell in the small bathroom.The reason for this is that the bottom plastic and sides do get hot. The bottom was the hottest at 220 from laser temp gun after 400 cycle for 20 minutes.I had wet bread in the unit during the entire process. At the end of the 4 test runs, the toasty bread had ZERO plastic smell. I mean just a wiff of plastic off gassing make me ill. I could not detect ANY plastic smell on that bread! That is a win! That toast smelled like CRYSTAL CLEAR GLASS! (HAHAHAH)Its not a sub $100 unit, and I'm glad its not because you get plastic fumes with most all of them as I have experienced and read.People, stop being satisfied with cheap junk products, and STOP BUYING THEM, and spend a moment to let any company know you wont buy their cheap junk that poisons people! Its the only way to get them to change!Pay a bit more for a good quality clean non-toxic or less toxic product, and your health you will keep!Peace!
