I purchased an analog/manual air fryer for my elderly parents, who were hesitant to try air frying and would never have taken the time to figure out the controls of a digital fryer. Manual controls are much easier for them to see and use.
This size is great for one or two people, college dorms, office break room, RVs, or just as a secondary air fryer when cooking for a crowd (think Super Bowl wings).
Great price and an inexpensive way to try out an air fryer if you don't already own one.
This is a great first step into air frying if you don't have one. I purchased this model, with a clockwork dial timer, a couple of months ago as my very first air fryer and I love air frying - it's a game changer.
My advice though would be though to purchase an air fryer with a digital timer. I already feel I want to upgrade myself to a digital timer model because minutes matter in air frying. The clockwork dial doesn't stop counting down when you open the drawer, so, while you need to open the drawer mid way to turn over the items being cooked, your timer continues to count down - making it really hard to monitor how much time you have left to cook. A digital fryer would not have this problem. You can easily burn things in an air fryer if you over cook for even 2 mins, so, this is why I recommend the digital timers on an air fryer. I hope this helps
The round Bella 8 qt goes on sale for $39.99 at Best Buy every couple of weeks. It takes up space but once you learn how to use an air fryer you will probably want a larger one. Don't pay full price. Pick one you like and wait for a sale.

I had a similar Bella 2 quart model that worked fine but sometimes wasn't quite big enough even just for 1 person. 3 quart should be OK for 1-2 people or just making misc appetizer items.

Would depend on what you're making --
I've had both Digital and Analog air fryers, and for someone who isn't too specific (throwing fries, veggies, pizza or anything else into it) the analog timer works totally fine for me.

I usually throw stuff in and just guesstimate on the timer, and it tends to work out just fine. When I used the digital timer I would usually do the same and just take a guess at the time when recipe's or directions don't specify one, so no big loss for me.

With that said, the digital one is 33% larger in size for the basket. I'm using a 5QT one and I think going down to a 3 QT would be a little too small..

For $16 you can buy two and it'll be quicker than the $200 dual basket Ninja air fryer. What they don't tell you is that a dual basket air fryer cooks slower when both baskets are running.

Analog temp control is fine, you'll be cooking at 400F most of the time anyway, less things to break.

While the compact size and simple controls of an air fryer like this make it approachable for older folks or those who are not technically inclined, I'd recommend against it for most people. My first air fryer was similar but even smaller, and I barely ever used it because it was so limited. Mine was comically small, being adequate for like one serving of fries and not even big enough to cook a dozen wings at once. This one is bigger, but after using a 6 quart Gourmia, I would never buy anything smaller, since you want to spread food out as much as possible in an air fryer and even 5-6 quarts seems limiting in that regard.

I totally understand not wanting to invest a lot in a first air fryer, not knowing if you'll actually use it enough to get your money's worth. But one way to make sure you never use it is to get one that's too small. I love my Gourmia and wish I had gotten one sooner, but I didn't because the little analog one I had tried was so annoying and I didn't know what I was missing. The Gourmia is easy enough to use and most people could figure it out, I bet. The pre-sets are usable, unlike most I've tried on microwaves and other appliances, and it's easy enough to adjust the time and temp. If you must go analog, okay, but I'd strongly recommend getting something bigger than one with a 3 quart basket. Nothing against the brand, as I know some Bellas get really good reviews, and in terms of features and price they're comparable to my Gourmia. I'm not usually the "just spend twice as much" guy, but you can get a Bella, Gourmia, or other brand in a 6-quart size for just $40-$50, which will keep you from have to cook in batches to feed more than one person.

Thanks, we have one but we often wish we had a second for overflow when we have people over.

4 qts should be the bare minimum even for a single person. 3 qt is just to small to put much in unless you're tiny.
