★☆☆☆☆
Cannot be used twice in a row without unplugging
It is a fine air fryer except for the insane design where, after a program ends, you cannot re-use the oven until you wait 8 minutes, or unplug and re-plug it from the wall outlet. That means you can't add time to under-cooked food, and you can't start new food, without pulling the power cord. I called tech support and they said that was intended as a safety feature. This 'feature' is not documented, and the screen only says "end" rather than "please wait", or "Cooling", or showing a countdown until the fryer can be used again. This was added to a recent version of this product, and is clearly a change made hastily. This "safety feature" is not present in older versions! I can only guess at Instant's reasons for making this change (lawsuit?), but it renders their product ridiculously frustrating to use. I returned mine and got a Cosori, which obviously does not have this "safety feature". I have attached a video where you can see this behavior. This is intended and is exactly how your fryer will behave if you order a new one from Amazon.
