There is another thing to consider, though it has nothing to do with 
accessibility.  Some of the combination toaster oven, convection oven, and air 
fryer units have very limited space for air frying, even though they can roast 
or bake something quite large.  The Cuisinart is like this.  You can only air 
fry things that are thin, like chicken wings or fries, but you can't air fry 
pieces of chicken with the bone in because you can only use the top rack for 
air frying, and these foods would hit the top of the oven.  So even though this 
thing has a high capacity for baking and using the convection feature, the air 
frying space is quite limited.  Which is sort of too bad, because this and 
similar units use knobs.  Not those inaccessible dials, but actual old school 
knobs.  Label friendly, old fashioned knobs!

You don't want the one with buttons and knobs unless you want to use a sighted 
person or an app to help you use it each time like Aira or be my eyes, you want 
the plus that you can have someone help you label then have a cheat sheet to 
use it.It's all buttons.  The dials on the original one are not user 
friendly.  The plus version is available at Walmart.
I just got mine today.  I'm sending back my original version.

Subject: [CnD] Information I got about the most accessible air fryer.

Here is information that was sent about different air fryers.

So much to choose from and to figure out which one would be the best and most 
accessible!

 

Jennifer,

Here some of the information listed on Amazon for the Emeril Lagasse Power Air 
Fryer Oven 360​:

*   Emerald 9-in-1 air fryer – replace your countertop convection oven! 5 
all-over heating elements mimic a commercial-quality oven for perfect, even 
cooking. Most convection ovens only have 3. 12 pre-set cooking functions let 
you choose what you want to cook and how: custom toaster oven setting for up to 
6 slices of bread, roast a whole turkey, bake desserts, air fry fried chicken, 
slow cooking up to 10 hours, roast vegetables, dehydrate jerky and fruit, bake 
crisp-crust pizza & more.
*   Better than ordinary convection ovens - 360° quick cook technology and 
five super powerful heating elements mean your meals cook evenly on all sides 
in a whirlwind of super-heated air for crispy, delicious flavors. No added 
fats, oils, or unhealthy grease required. Get chef-quality results in one 
compact, 1500-watt countertop oven - 40% faster than regular ovens.
*   Extra versatile – LCD digital display with 12 cooking functions: air 
fry, bake, rotisserie, dehydrate, toast, reheat, roast, broil, bagel, pizza, 
slow cook, and Warm/ reheat. Using an air fryer over a traditional deep fryer 
can help reduce the number of unhealthy CALORIES you consume by up to 70% while 
still letting you enjoy your favorite foods.

The machine has buttons and knobs that control its functions-the LCD digital 
display shows the settings.

 

I looked on Amazon and Walmart for additional air fryers. Here are some options 
that may fit your criteria. I have listed the brand, model, size, price, and 
some of the information from the listing. I would highly recommend you verify 
with the company if the machine has tactile buttons; not all of the 
descriptions for the air fryers specifically state if the machines had buttons. 
I used the pictures provided and the air fryers in the pictures appear to have 
raised buttons but I could be incorrect.

 

Option 1: PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer Plus 5-Quart, $79.99 on Walmart

*6-in-1 Multi-Use Design: Air Fryer, Dehydrator, Pizza Oven, Baking 
Oven, Roaster, Reheat

*Up to 70% Fewer Calories from Fat vs. Deep Frying

*Easy-to-Use Panel with 10 One-Touch Pre-Set Functions

*Precise Temperature Control

*Even Cooking ? All-Over Crisp

*XL Easy-Grip Handle

*Dishwasher-Safe Parts

*Timer with Auto-Shutoff

Option 2: NutriChef Hot Air Fryer Oven - w/Digital Display, 3.75 quart, $109.99 
on Amazon

*AIR FRYING MADE EASY:
