Instant Pot 140-3082-01 vs Oster DiamondForce Nonstick XL 5 Quart Digital Air Fryer

Problem 4: The basket becomes very difficult to open and close once the unit gets hot. It sticks when the basket is closed and doesn't seem to want to close once open. I almost burned myself opening the basket. This problem goes away once the fryer/basket cools

Also the silicone spacer around the basket get weak and fall off very easy as the heat weaken the rigidity. If you are very careful and nice with the basket this product is wonderful. Otherwise if Oster made a stronger basket and remove the button for release and create a slide lock, would be more safe for handling heavier items in the basket.

Place it back again still says “open” clearly this machine is defective or just a POS! Call up Amazon and bam a new next day and when a label to return the old one. Thank you for that! Well on to the new one exactly like my previous one. Well can you guess what happened?!??!!!! The same damn thing!!!! What the Heck!!!! I mean come on who makes this up and makes this crap. Two machine doing the same thing a simple fix?! Well I think not

It offers an extra-large capacity, detachable frying basket. Overheats protection and nonslip feet. And the PFOA-free diamond-infused nonstick surface...

The basket and cooking tray are easy to clean and the non-stick coating is working well - some said the the non-stick coating is coming off, I did not see this my unit either. I did note that the results are much better if you use olive oil cooking spray on the food before frying. This is especially noticeable on breaded food such as chicken fingers. I took one star off because it comes with a terse, abbreviated guide, or manual

The Diamond force non stick coating is a true blessing as I have not had to scrub away at the basket to get it clean. The clean up is quite easily done and without bits and pieces of food sticking to the basket!

Generally: Lower temperature by 25°F and set cooking time to 80% of the middle of the recommended cooking time for conventional oven instructions when cooking using air fryer mode. This usually gets you in the ballpark, but with a minute or two to go, you might have to stop it or add time. I've been using that method from the beginning, and it has served me well.

This one has a hard time cooking through quickly. Best looking air fryer huge easy clean basket / display looks premium. Quiet. But other systems cook food faster than this one

Took up a lot of space on the counter. I love my InstantPot, but this thing was used 3 times and returned. Even if the dial worked, I don’t think I could have justified keeping it.

It’s big enough to fry several items at a time. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

When the unit cools down, it’s a hassle to get close. While a patient person wouldn’t mind, it can be annoying. I’d go a different route if you need back to back usage. Would not recommend

Kept unplugging it, plugging it back in, moved to different receptacles and nothing. Wish I had done my research before buying. Hope the store will take it back.

Simple setup, easy to use, and can sit right on your counter and not take up much room. I love how this is so much healthier because it uses little to no oil. My kids favorite thing is how fast it completes everything. Our favorite items have preset controls so it starts with just a touch of a button

Using an air fryer is healthier than regular deep frying or even pan frying and super easy to use. It's been great for grilled styled vegetables, chicken, and especially wings. My favorite was the home version of bloomin onion. I even tried pizza rolls for 3 mins and it was like they just came out of the oven, but without the grease
