@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!

@debbraw I was wondering about that aspect. Still healthier than fried. I don’t want all the carbs. I do struggle with the carb thing as I do love carbs. What has helped is learning that foods in the Nightshade family cause the Fibromyalgia to flare. It would also encourage me to eat more saturated fat. Always drawbacks and advantages.
