Bought the AF101 for about $100 on sale at Target and loves it, finding the 4 qt size meets their needs cooking for two about 95 percent of the time.
Calls the AF101 fantastic as a starter air fryer compared with the much larger DZ201.
Loves their AF101 so far and plans to use the dehydrate setting for jerky.
Has had their AF101 for six months and finds it works fine, even when the basket isn't fully closed to melt cheese.
Loves the AF101, which is compact enough for their very small counter, but says it is only enough for one person.
Bought the AF101 on a scratch-and-dent sale after burnt-paint smells ruined earlier fryers, found no odor after a few empty runs and made great fries, then a pork loin.
Their AF101 works great for veggies, potatoes, pork tenderloin and frozen foods.
Very pleased with their Ninja AF101.
