You should be able to. Insignia is a best buy brand, so they shouldn't care about the receipt unless you paid over $50

And how exactly will you get a newer model for free? The 10 qt digital air fryer is $130 right now. If you like yours and don't do stupid things with it you will be fine. Why go through this insane hassle?

It's a$$holes who get the gift card, and would still use the defective product, or worse sell the defective product on Craigslist/Facebook to unsuspecting purchasers. That's why the defective product is required to be returned to be compensated.
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.
I figured it was because it got clogged with gunk due to heavy usage. But after reading about the recall is seems like it's a design flaw; I'm assuming that the heating element is too close to the food and gets covered in grease easily.
I was about to throw it out but I'm glad I can get a $30 gift card for it at least (Paid $29.99). What worries me is that I replaced the Insignia that caught fire with another model [ebay.com] of the same brand.
I only paid $40 for it about a month ago and I'm happy as it's a big improvement over the DBK9. But it seems you don't want to cheap out on things that can burn your house down. Sometimes it tough and dangerous being a cheap basterd
