The air fryer lid on their 6 qt Duo Crisp stays buried in a cabinet because it performs poorly in the small pot, so they bought a separate air fryer.

Had the Duo Crisp and hated the air fryer: nothing decent-sized fit, a single shelf, and a heavy lid to store.
Says the Duo Crisp air fryer is too small and the round shelf falls onto the food below when double layering, so they stopped bothering with it.
Calls the Duo Crisp air fryer terrible: the basket is tiny even in the large model and it is hard to reach the bottom half to turn food.
Regrets the Duo Crisp: the lid takes up space and must be set aside while flipping, it uses two outlets, and the cooking space is only enough for about two people.
Finds the Duo Crisp small as an air fryer; stacking does not work for them and it only fits about four chicken tenders.
