The air fryer I bought for $45 is now $130. How can they sell a product, accept its defective, and only provide $50 with no option of a replacement that works safely…

Very confused. I have one of the Insignia Air Fryer ovens (NS-AF10DSS2) but the model number is not listed in the recall. Visually virtually exact same air fryer (NS-AFO6DSS1) Is listed. Are those examples of the recall or the recall is limited to those?

what a shame, i love my NS-AF32DBK9 i picked up when it was $25 during xmas.

if anyone reads specifically what the flaw was, i'd really like to know what it was.

my guess is fires are cause by stupid people loading it up or running it too long.

Thanks for posting. Would have never known. FYI it appears if you return to store they will not give you a credit according to the link. Appears you need to call or submit form.

What a shitty corporate move to provide a "refund" in the form of Best Buy credit…what if you'd like to spend your money elsewhere now that they've sold you a defective and potentially dangerous product?

I filled out the form, I had 2 air fryers that met the qualifications but already tossed one when it stopped working.

It is a big hassle though. Wait 3-6 weeks for your return box, mail it back, wait 3-6 weeks more for an electronic gift card? Potentially up to 13 weeks to get a $50 gift card and be out the air fryer in the meantime.

The fact it's a gift card is also a hassle as I would likely go out to purchase a new air fryer as soon as I mailed this back, then get a gift card from them 3-6 weeks later? Why not a cash/check?

Due to the size and hassle of this, I'm actually hoping they just say dispose of it and send a gift card, but I don't know how likely that would be

I'm having the same issue, tried it both Chrome and Microsoft Edge with the form not working. Anyone else having the same problem? Or find a solution?

It's complete BS that the refund is in a credit for use at BB.

Mine as well, bought Feb 22. Newer models apparently aren't part of the recall.

Uhhhh my just over heated 2 days ago after daily use. I guess I'll have to give them a call since I threw it out because it got so hot it warped the tray and I couldn't close it anymore.
