Elite Platinum EAF-1506D 3.5 Quart Digital vs Maximatic EAF2612D

Too big to have on my counter from day to day. It looks exactly like the hair blow dryers we used in the 50's and 60's. In fact, I would not be surprised if the design was taken from one.

Bought this for my mother for Xmas. It says it’s to cook a meal for 2 but it’s very small so you’d be lucky to cook for 1 person.

My only complaint thus far is the sticking to the non stick basket and pan but the parchment paper liners solve that issue. It does take a lot of counter space and has suction cups on the bottom which for me is a nuisance but I understand why they would have them for more safety. With the burger next time we will cook for less time it was moist and well done on the inside and they did taste good. We were able to do 4 burgers at a time, have since purchased a shelf accessory to add a second layer to put more burgers on at the same time

Easy to clean, and once you get the hang of it EVERYTHING tastes better! No grease, crispy, and delicious every time now. Well worth the $. Just wish I knew they have a turquoise/mint (favorite color) one now. Oh well…

While the machine is better than just frying in oil or the oven, I have to use a higher temp along with usually 4-8 minutes longer depending on what is in and how thick. Cleanup isn’t that easy for the 2 I received (one was replaced under warranty as it had even worse problems with heating). Eventually I can get it clean but I spend over 15 minutes sometimes depending on what I cook. The “non-stick” coating scrapes off around the bottom of the basket and the top edges of the lower chamber

The temperature scale is difficult to use. The old 2qt unit was great, this one is disappointing. Too bad the knobs and scale fell off the old one.

Then I breaded up some 1" thick pork chops and they came out great. So much better than all other attempts at oven baking either one of the two. It is easy to clean and use. Just set the time and temp

At the sound of the ding, the chicken wings were definitely not done. They were not brown, they were not crisp. We gave them another 24 minutes at 390 degrees, and YUMMY! Next time, we will fiddle with the time to see if something less than 48 minutes (24x2) would be long enough. So, yes, it's great with two chicken wings; but not at the time the instructions call for

You can get a lot of cooking ideas from FB groups once you figure out the correct times. There is a slight learning curve to that part but once you get it food comes out terrific. We did have a problem with the inner pan scratching but we called up the company and they sent a new pan right away. Other than that this airfryer is awesome

I struggle with trying to get it to crisp anything up. The temperatures are pre-set, which I was aware of. What Air Fryer charts say take 20 minutes have taken up to 40 minutes to cook in this appliance. I've tried burgers, french fries, egg rolls, veggies, and countless other items that should cook in a relatively short time
