Sunbeam Digital Copper Infused DuraCeramic Air Fryer AFP4100BK

Basket started to flake after 10 uses – I spent a lot of time researching air fryers and finally decided to go with the Sunbeam Copper infused AFP4100BK because it specifically states that the coating will not peel or flake. Unfortunately, it did start to flake after roughly 10 uses. I’m quite particular about using kitchen appliances, following what’s in the manual etc and I have not used any metal utensils but still, the coating started to come off. On calling Sunbeam, they offered to replace the basket of which I don’t see the point. I don’t really think this would be a one time thing so I will be returning to Target, where I purchased it, in October 2022. Other than that, it did a good job, and I enjoyed using it. Easy enough to clean, easy to use. It took forever to get rid of the ‘new appliance smell’, but I guess that happens with a lot of these things. Apart from the faulty basket, I suppose it’s good value for money. For these reasons, giving it three stars because I know there are people out there who are not as fussy as I am about flaking coatings, and the willingness of Sunbeam to replace the basket deserves a bit of credit. On a side note: I think a square or rectangular basket is more economical than a round one.
