I'm not particularly impressed by a brand, so the fact Chef Emeril endorses or helped designed this unit or whatever, is of no consequence to me. I have two questions: does it work and is it a good value for its price.
To the first question, it works very well. It can employ so many ways of cooking, e.g. grilling, baking, toasting, air frying, warming and more. This makes it an easy replacement for my previous air fryer (nothing wrong with it, I just wanted more capacity), my toaster oven, tabletop grill and for the most part, the oven on my range.
To the second question, the price I paid, which was a sale price, was worth it for the functionality and accessories and flexibility of the unit.
Most of the presets are handy but if you've been using an air fryer for a while, you're probably familiar with times and temperatures to use for whatever you're cooking so it's a plus you can easily dial in custom settings if you want to. It's pretty easy to clean and to keep clean in the first place because of its size. One thing that bit me was not thinking to use the bake pan when doing anything involving the lower heating elements and if cooking something that drips. I had to clean them once because I forgot that.
Two things I don't like are the French doors; though they are a nice feature, they not only operate together but they'll slam if you don't hold them until they close all the way, which isn't damaging but it is annoying; and the other is the beeps, which are entirely too loud, so that I had to turn them off, which I don't like because I like being notified it's time to turn something or cooking is done. Small things, but I did deduct a star for those.
A few have complained about the text on the doors that indicates what level to use for various cooking tasks, but I don't mind it and stopped even noticing it after a week or so. Some have also expressed concern about escaping steam that condenses near the control button. This hasn't been bad for me, and I honestly don't see what problem it could cause even in the long run. If you're uncomfortable with it, I'd suggest a piece of folded paper towel strategically placed may absorb most or all of that condensation.
Overall, I'd recommend this unit. I have had it for a little over two months and no issues so far. It cooks thoroughly, has a variety of functions (some I haven't explored yet) and the build quality is good.
