Know before you buy
Sync Finish allows you to program two different cooking times and temperatures for each basket. The air fryer automatically delays the start of the basket with the shorter cooking time so that both dishes finish at the exact same moment.
Yes, the baskets operate independently. You can use just one side for smaller portions to save energy and cleanup time.
Yes, the 8-quart total capacity is divided into two 4-quart baskets. This size is generally sufficient for preparing main dishes and sides for a family of four.
No, this model does not feature an automatic shutoff. You will need to manually turn the unit off or monitor the timer to ensure your food is removed once the cycle is complete.
The unit measures 13.2 inches long by 13.2 inches wide and stands 14.4 inches high. Be sure to leave a few inches of clearance on all sides for proper airflow during operation.
The cooking baskets and the removable crisping trays are non-stick and dishwasher safe. For the longest life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended.
