Pros:
follow up to my review earlier
it is still a great cook
Cons:
after 18 months the plastic paddle deteriorated and broke in half a new one cost $41. and is now made with a metal arm. I believe this means Delongi know it is a design fault and should replace it for free, if buying one insist on the paddle being metal.
De longi still make great products

Pros:
Cooks oven fries much better than in the oven. They are evenly brown and crisp in the air fryer and require no turning. Cooked corn fritters well too.
Cons:
I agree it is a bit noisy.
