BLACK+DECKER HF100WD vs Instant Vortex Plus ClearCook

It's obviously healthier and less fat than frying but is also crispier and (I think) tastes better than fixing in an oven or microwave. It's fast and cleans up easily. It would be small for a family, but just the right size for the 2 of us. I would give 5 stars if by some magic it created a real fat fried taste

They have something called the EvenCrisp Technology which adds crunch and tenderness with 95% of the oil . Talk about healthy. It comes with 6 cooking programs that you can customized based on your liking. I have a big family so I love the large capacity of the air fryer

The fryer does its cooking as advertised, The controls are woefully inadequate-- The "one-way" timer makes no distinction between time to warm up, and time to cook, and in my mind is not useful-- a simple on/off switch would be an improvement.. The temperature control apparently works well once you have gone and found a magnifying glass, tilted the fryer up to get a clear view, and determined that those tiny markings do indeed suggest that a specific temperature might be achieved if you twist the control nob so that its pointer points in that general direction.

I like being able to see the browning without opening the basket and letting out heat. With energy prices going up, it seems an advantage to have the smaller appliance and less cooking time. If there is a downside, I am not a fan of the knob dial. I would much rather have push buttons to adjust temperature and time, but this is just a preference

Only used it about 15 to 18 times & it died! Even the reset button doesn't work or reset. Lost all power.

This is such a game changer for dinners when PG&E charges three times as much to use electricity between 4-9pm.

A minute here & ythere makes a big difference. The non stick surface has cleaned well. Unless self cleaning; cleaning is not perfect. Have not put it in the dishwasher

Cleanup is so easy because of the nonstick coating on the pan and included grill rack. This unit is a great value. I'd buy it again.

The basket capacity is on the smaller size, although I understood that before making the decision to buy. Seeing it in person tends to put things in scale.

She says this is a good size for her family of four. She is pleased with its easy to use interface, and of course the crispy tasty food it produces. Great purchase.
