Air fryers can often set you back $100 or more — close to the usual price for this model. So for $70 you get a nifty device can grill, roast, bake and fry, all without any oil. It does this by circulating hot air, which crisps up veggies, wings and more.

No splatters, no extra fat, no mess and all the flavor of your favorite fried foods. Easy and delicious, with minimal effort on your part.

And let's face it, we love air fryers for their french fries. But this air fryer is also a hit when it comes to veggies, including the often-dreaded cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. It's also a great way to trick kids into trying something new or trick your palate into thinking you’re eating something significantly more caloric than you really are.

Over 29,000 gourmands are seriously hooked on this air fryer because of its size, ease of use and also ease of cleaning. Not to mention that it can make anyone look like a superstar chef.

This shopper called it "the future of cooking," adding, "It is one of the best investments I have made in my kitchen. So many delicious recipes can be made with minimal effort. Why spend so much money on an expensive one when this one does the job perfectly? Easy to clean, the temp control is fantastic and it's super easy to use."

Says a five-star fan: "Perfect for vegetables, frozen food, meat or fish, etc. I love how I don’t have to turn on my oven for a quick meal anymore or stand in front of the stove to fry stuff. I can achieve the same results all while using less oil. What I love the most about this appliance is you don’t have to be an expert chef to use it. It’s extremely intuitive, and extremely difficult to mess up. Five stars!"

Even grill masters are shocked by how perfect their wings turned out. Revealed one: "We tried chicken wings and they're amazing! ... Wings on the grill are a pain. They require constant attention, burn if you blink and take a long time to cook. Ultrean wings? Throw 'em in. Flip 'em in 15 minutes. Take 'em out after another 15 minutes. Perfect. And it doesn't heat up the kitchen at all."

There were users who held back a star because of the lack of recipes that came with the air fryer. (Scroll to see the air fryer cookbook/fridge magnet.) "They don’t give you many recipes at all," said this frying fan. "That was a disappointment. Actually, they give you no recipes. They only give you some items you can use with the times and temperature. Very disappointing. Now I need to research recipes. That’s not hard but I’d expect them to give me more recipes to begin with."

"You'd think the manufacturer would offer a general cookbook for 'quick cook' items such as wings, fries, etc." agreed this reviewer. "Really, an excellent value for the $. It's just you shouldn't have to look up air fryer recipes on the internet to cook a few wings and fries!"

Roast veggies or re-heat french fries, this little gadget is full of possibilities.
