Anyone have one? We like to make oven fries a lot and wondered if an air fryer would save us some time and effort. Also, how big do I need for menu items to feed 5? Any help is greatly appreciated - especially if you are saving me from making an expensively bad decision.

This won't be super helpful but:

My brother in law has one and the fries that I had from it last weekend were terrific. I know they use it all the time.

I have a Phillips and it's outstanding. Granted, I normally don't cook for more than 2, so cooking for 5 might require two batches, but, I believe they have an extra large size that might be great for you. I've used it for wings, fries, chicken strips, fish, you name it. They're not cheap but they do work well. Its basically just a mini convection oven. Highly recommend.

We have one. It works surprisingly well. Downside is the volume. Doesn't put out much and it's pretty big.
