Frankly the facts above for a while put me off the idea of owning one. My kitchen space is valuable. Another once seemingly Great Idea sitting in a cabinet unused was not what I wanted at all. But as I read owners' positive and enthusiastic comments -- and this about seemingly all makes and models -- I thought that owning one seemed a good idea, and I picked up a low priced, unknown brand, one locally. And to my amazement it quickly became a much used kitchen appliance.
That early one I purchased, though, was small, and, alas, did not prove durable. So I returned it and started looking here on Amazon for what to me would hopefully be the ideal replacement.
What did I need and want?
1) Size. I wished to be able to cook enough food for my small family and perhaps some friends. And more, I'd learned that air fryers cooked some foods (such as french fries) better when the basket is only partially loaded. So even when cooking just one or two servings a bigger machine would likely do better than a smaller one.
2) Cleaning ease. My reading showed very mixed reviews for the different makes. Some were reported to be easily cleaned, others not so much.
3) Appearance. Since I'd be using the air fryer often it would have to be out and in a convenient space, hence appearance mattered. Clean lines and an unobtrusive modern simplicity -- those are the things I wanted.
The Elite Platinum seemed to offer all of these things. Its only possible drawback was its physical size. But in fact, owing to its basic design shape, it was only a bit bigger in every direction than units with much less internal capacity.
My order, purchased directly through Amazon, took some weeks to be fulfilled. But it was worth the wait for the Elite Platinum appears to be everything I hoped it would be and more. Solidly built, quiet, easy to operate, easy to clean, and most important of all it is a fine cooker. My very first batch of fries come out crisp on the outside, moist on the inside inside and evenly browned. Cleanup was a breeze -- far easier than on the previous model I'd had.
Yes, the Elite is big. But not much more so than the other "small appliances" -- the K-Cup coffee brewer, the espresso maker, the toaster, the vacuum sealer, etc. -- that sit with it on my kitchen counter. And like them I expect it will be seeing regular, almost daily, use.
Worth mentioning as well is the unit's temperature accuracy. Just out of interest I turned it on for three minutes set at 400 degrees. I then opened the draw and pointed a digital meter at the basket. It measured 398f near the top, and 374f down at its base. A couple of more minutes and I expect it would have measured a nearly perfect 400 throughout. Superb!
Each of us has somewhat different needs. But if your's match my own as set out above I most highly recommend the Elite Platinum 5.5. Quart Air Fryer.

Each of us has somewhat different needs. But if your's match my own as set out above I most highly recommend the Elite Platinum 5.5. Quart Air Fryer.
I also purchased an 8" accessory kit (MySit Big Large XL Air Fryer Accessories 8", Set of 9, for Power Airfryer XL Gowise Phillips Cozyna, Fit All 5.3QT - 5.8QT - AirFryer_8in for $28.82), and I'm glad I did. We were able to make from scratch, homemade Chile Rellenos, which we cooked in the 8" round Cake Barrel, and they came out PERFECTLY. Since these were fresh (not frozen), we cooked these at 360 degrees x 10 minutes, again, turning them half-way through, and they came out perfect. In fact, my husband swears they are the best chile rellenos he's ever had. We look forward to cooking a lot of different foods in our new air fryer. The included cookbook is nice, but you can easily find lots of air fryer recipes online.
Though minimal, I carefully read through the negative (1- and 2-star) reviews. While this air fryer comes with a 1-year warranty, to be safe, I also purchased a SquareTrade 4-yr Small Appliance Protection Plan for $6.05, which also seems amazingly reasonable, given the total cost for this large air fryer is <$90. The Drawer Pan and Frying Basket, as well as the 8" round Cake Barrel (accessory), were all easy to clean. We washed them using the soft side of our dish-cleaning sponge in order to protect against peeling of the teflon coating. An initial mild order (probably the processing coating on the teflon drawer and basket) was not off-putting and discontinued by the time we finished preheating the air fryer (360 degrees x 3 min).
Bottom line, this Elite Platinum Digital Air Fryer is easy to use, has plenty of room to cook for an entire family, is super easy to use, and produces crispy, tasty, well-cooked foods without the mess, inconvenience and environmentally fraught (disposal of used oil) of deep fat frying. Since it's essentially a small, contained convection oven, we plan to use it to reheat foods, cook other frozen (non-deep-fryable) foods, and to cook other items, making it an even better value. (I can't wait to try baking a cake using the accessory 8" cake barrel!)
The only negatives I can think of at this point are the lack of a countdown timer (as described above) and how much space it takes up on our counter. That said, I have a feeling we'll be using it a lot, so I wouldn't want to put it away (even if I had space to store it, which I don't).
I highly recommend this product, and also recommend purchasing an accessory kit and protection plan with it. We love it!
RETURNED FOR ANOTHER ONE AND IT WORKS GOOD
I've used it to make garlic bread, wings, hush puppies, reheat fries etc. Much better than a microwave for reheating or crisping food.
I've purchased a second one for myself because this compact size and performance can't be beat! (I gave away my other air fryer because it was so big and bulky and honestly only held a very slight amount more than my Elite Gourmet 1.1 Qt air fryer.)
I'd buy It again no doubt.

Only issue I would note is that you'll have to clean the inside of the fryer itself once in a while. The heating coils at the top get oily as well.
Pero le calculo le cabe un pollo chico para rostizar.
Para su primer funcionamiento la probé con 2 Kg de muslo y pierna de pollo, sólo agregué sal, pimienta y en 40 minutos se obtuvo un gran sabor y agradable dorado.
Muy recomendable si se quiere comer sano.
