... I am glad I did. I had been wanting to try an air fryer but was concerned that it might be hard to return a cooking device after as many multiple uses I had in mind. The Prime Day deal of <$45 solved a price-time problem that Yale economics professor Bill Nordhaus advanced. How many hours would we have to work in order to afford a consumer item? With a price point of <$45, this Ninja air fryer can get consumers to try it out, and few of them will have to work more than 3 hours (i.e., $15/hour) to afford the device at that price. I've been using it for about a week. It already has saved me about three hours of cooking/cleaning time that I otherwise would have had to 'spend' as time cooking and cleaning up after I used this device to prepare: (i) corn on the cob, (ii) yellow perch filets, (iii) brats and hot dogs, (iv) frozen lasagna I bought on sale, (v) coconut shrimp, also frozen and on sale, (vi) bacon, (vii) small potatoes and other fresh vegetables, etc. To be truthful, I sometimes try to reduce cleaning time by using a little aluminum foil platform cut to about 5x5 inches and folded to trap moisture. So the cost of each item is a bit more when I do that. But it's not necessary. It's easy to clean. I have had none of the 'smells' issues mentioned by other purchasers of this device. Recall that this is a trimmed down model I bought to try out for our downsized family of two adults, but large enough to try things out. As an example, perch filets this AM took 6 minutes to cook, and 2 minutes to clean up. Tonight, three fresh Michigan corn on the cob cut in 1/2 required two cooking cycles of 6 minutes each in hand folded aluminum foil 'shelf' I created for inside the basket, no need for washing it. I washed the foil for next use. Lasagna foil was too messy to clean. I tossed it but didn't have to wash anything. You get the picture. Try it to gain the air fryer experience and decide whether you want more whistles and bells with a more expensive air fryer. I'll be watching for a device with 4-6 quart basket and more temperature options. This one has 2-quart basket and 400 degrees F, but I adjust the timer to deal with the fixed temperature it delivers. Not a problem. Most of the time, it means fewer minutes from start to finish. Highly recommended if you want to try out the air fryer experience. If I were a Ninja executive, I'd use it as a loss leader, get people to try it for <$45, and then give then a discount coupon to purchase upward toward a more fully-featured model once the initial experience is positive. The way Toyota marketed its early cars 50+ years ago. Got us hooked on low price Corollas in hope we'd spring for the higher price Toyota Coronas, etc. (p.s. A few more weeks of positive experience and no plastic smell. The fixed 400 degree F setting is not an impediment. I just adjust cooking time downward when the recipe calls for 275-399 F. The 6.3 inch square air fryer liners sold by MT&L via Amazon fit reasonably well (photo) & the height keeps the top edge of liner away from upper level of basket. The round 6.3" diameter Mikapana liners fit inside also, with a little tolerable wrinkle, per Pythagorean theorem. A 5.5" square liner would fit even better, but I'll use up the 6.3" set before I look for something smaller.)
