7. I bought the cheapest, no known brand, that Amazon

had, which at the time was about $60. I've had it for about 3 years and no problems, so I definitely got my money's worth. There are units that are somewhat larger, but not bigger that made the higher price worth while.

They all work the same, and every brand I've looked at has the same range of temp and timer settings, so paying extra for a big brand name was irrelevant for me. Likewise, recipes are interchangeable and the internet is full of them, free! The only thing that was a must have for me was dishwasher cleanup, no hand washing for this old girl.

I haven't used mine for too many vegetables, as we like them steamed tender, crisp. I have made veggie and potato chips that are very tasty. We love the French fries, hash browns, tater tots and potato skins. Some some reason roasted Brussels sprouts are lots better than steamed. Onion rings are great in the air fryer. Tempura battered veggies are a big favorite.

You'll find lots of ways to use an air fryer, and just browsing through all the creative recipes people have come up with will keep you well fed.
