Amazon's review summary says customers love the performance. They call it easy to use and worth the money, and report that it cooks evenly and quickly. Some get crispy results with just avocado oil. One buyer likes that it keeps the oven off on hot days. Counts: performance 1.9K (1,831 positive and 168 negative), ease of use 659, value 453, cook performance 404 and size 370.

How to use it well
- Cook in a single layer when you can, and shake the basket partway through
- Use a small amount of a high-heat oil if you want extra crispness
- Keep the vents clear and leave space behind the unit
- Let the basket and plate cool before washing
