Family loves the Duo Crisp and gets better results than oven frying, though the air fryer is probably too small for a family of five.
Bought an 8 qt Duo Crisp: pressure cooking is great but results with the slow cooker and air fryer have been mixed.
Couple in a small apartment use the Duo Crisp at least twice a week for soups, chicken and roasted pork belly in the air fryer, and highly recommend it.
Bought a 6 qt Duo Crisp then an 8 qt, and uses the air fryer lid almost as much as the pressure cooker lid, retiring several other appliances.
Has a 6 qt Duo Crisp with the air fryer lid; the basket is small but enough living alone, everything gets crispy, and it saves counter space.
Impressed by the Duo Crisp pressure cooker, slow cooker and dehydrator, but the air fryer is weak: one batch of good fries, everything else soggy or slow.
Has no standalone air fryer and says the Duo Crisp lid works great for wings, fries, onion rings and veggies, used roughly weekly.
Has not tried a standalone air fryer, but says the Duo Crisp air frying has not blown them away with any recipe so far.
Upgraded from an 8 qt Nova and loves the 8 qt Duo Crisp, air frying almost every other day instead of a toaster oven; bacon, tater tots and home fries come out well.
Chicken tenders in the Duo Crisp with an almond flour coating came out cooked and juicy but mushy and not crispy.
Mostly cooks for themselves with the Duo Crisp and loves it, using the air fryer function a lot and freezing leftovers.
Made sweet potato fries in the Duo Crisp, reasonably crispy in 25 minutes at 400F, with the lid preheating to 400F in about two minutes.
Cooked frozen nuggets in the Duo Crisp lid in about half the oven time, moist inside and crispy outside, without heating the kitchen and with easy cleanup.
Loves the Duo Crisp: makes restaurant-quality frozen onion rings and taquitos with no oil, and gets chicken nice and crispy.
Made salted caramel chipotle chicken wings in their Duo Crisp and says they came out so good.
French fries were the first recipe in their Duo Crisp, cooked on both basket levels at 385F for 17-20 minutes with flipping.
Uses the air fryer about as often as pressure cooking; says it is the perfect amount of frozen food or vegetables to crisp up for a single person.
A couple months in, loves the Duo Crisp and says the air fryer lid has been great for wings.
Got a Duo Crisp for Christmas and loves it; pulled pork came out great and the air fryer works great too.
