Tested by Reviewed

Consistently praised

  • LCD screen with accurate preset programs; the most convenient, user-friendly model tested
  • Crispy, evenly browned results across foods from mozzarella sticks to Nashville-style chicken
  • Accurate oil temperatures; basket and oil container are dishwasher safe

Commonly flagged

  • Ready beeps are hard to hear
  • Pricey for its category

Where reviewers disagree Single-source only: Reviewed's Best Overall verdict could not be cross-checked against a second whitelisted tester, so there is no basis to confirm or contest it. The widely-repeated '±5°F temperature accuracy' figure appears nowhere in Reviewed's article and traced only to non-whitelisted spam blogs, so it is omitted. No lab-measured values were published for this model.
