This is extremely loud so if you gather in the kitchen for conversations, you may want to bring a microphone so that the person next to you can hear what you're saying. The smell of this unit is intense and you will need to run it for atleast an hour before using. Running it first is suggested in the manual to remove the awful smell. Wherever this was produced and whatever chemicals are on it, wafts around the whole house so make sure you can open some windows. The basket is non stick and with a lot of use the nonstick will wear off leaving toxic chemicals so be careful and maybe use the paper basket liners . Other units use stainless steel inserts. Cooking in this airfryer seems to take longer than the last brand that I had. All that being said, NO- WAY!! This is going right back to Costway!
