Thank you it helps a lot. I thought I heard it cooked faster??? I think I’ll order one. Not that I’ll get much use out of it but my friend who cooks for me suggested it and I want to keep her happy. Maybe I’ll give it a test drive but that will be the end of it. I can’t have fried food so hopefully this will be a way around that.
I’m losing weight too so she’ll give more veggies, ick & yuck & gag.
Thanks for the info.

@jakedduck1 Hi Jake:

Once you and/or your friend start using it, will you report back on how it goes? I'm still interested in it.

Also, @margieinia, about how much does the unit weigh? (Similar to the weight of a 6-quart crock pot?)

@gingerw @hopeful33250 Finally went to ear Dr. It's the nerve damage in my inner 👂 he told me to do ear exercises 3x a day for a month then see him again. I know I will be dizzy doing them I am going to my chiropractor and will tell him also maybe there is something he can do

@lioness Ear exercises? How do you exercise your ears?

@jakedduck1 those are good for you Jake and you can do Tor them up to taste better

@parus. The ones he gave me are a little different then on the internet You lay in bed with your neck over a rolled up towel , hyperextend tilt head to left side then roll over slowly to your right and head will be looking down he said this should take 2-3 minutes have to do 3xa day then see him in a month I know I,ll be dizzy he said it should get better if not I go for vestibular therapy whatever that is

@margieinia
Hi I’ve been looking at them and everyone makes them. May I ask what brand you have and how many functions does it have. The one I saw on TV did eleven things. I saw them from $60-$400. I thought there was only one. I’ll update how it works when I get it.

@jakedduck1 - Leonard, I had one and I didn't like it. It worked as advertised, in that food actually tasted fried - but it encouraged me to eat carbs that I really wasn't used to eating. Somehow I had to reconcile the fact that even though air fried potatoes are healthier than actual fried potatoes, they are still potatoes! I too found the range of prices you posted. People have told me that the Phillips - which is the most expensive - is great. Since I was just testing the waters, I decided to go with something in between the cheapest and the most expensive. I settled on a brand called Avalon which cost about $130. Real quickly, the dial indicators on the front rubbed off so I couldn't see where the controls were. Also, for any brand, these things are HUGE and cooking surface is tiny. The tiny cooking area didn't matter to me since there are only two of us, but storage was an issue because it was so large. Best of luck!

@lioness Wonder what caused it? A long-term infection perhaps? Ear exercises sounds pretty funny. I imagine itty-bitty barbells and treadmills for your ears. But that's just where my mind is going at this time of day. Empty tummy tells me better eat so I can think straight, right?

The unit itself is big. The insert holds about 3/4 bag of frozen veggies. I hope that helps.
