This is my first Actifry and I regret not having bought earlier. It is just the right size for 1-2 people. The cover is transparent and you can check it from time to time a look to see where here is. Cooking can be extended, shortened, stopped and resumed at any time. You can also put frozen chips in it without adding oil. For wide "steakhouse" McCain, it takes 24 minutes (useful for the workers who return later). I first went to see in a large area of what she looked like before buying cheaper on Amazon.
