Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Air fryer capacity is quoted as basket volume, and the usable figure is roughly two thirds of it, because crisping requires food in a single layer with air moving around it. Fill 5.5 litres and you get steamed food and a disappointed review. Realistically this cooks for two to three people per batch. Check the voltage variant before ordering, since the AF160 part number is the North American 120 V machine.
Who should buy this
Households of two to three who will cook in a single layer and accept batches.
Who should avoid this
Families of four or more expecting one batch, and anyone who does not verify the voltage variant.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Households of two to three who will cook in a single layer and accept batches. On that basis it has been the right call. 240 degrees C is high enough for genuine crisping, not just reheating.

Holding up so far
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Six functions including dehydrate, which few at this price have. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Usable capacity is about 3.5 of the 5.5 litres. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Usable capacity is about 3.5 of the 5.5 litres. About 65 dB, louder than most kitchen appliances. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 240 degrees C is high enough for genuine crisping, not just reheating. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Checked the cleaning claim
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Cleaning". The page says Non-stick basket, dishwasher safe, and that is what turned up. 240 degrees C is high enough for genuine crisping, not just reheating.

No notes
240 degrees C is high enough for genuine crisping, not just reheating. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Six functions including dehydrate, which few at this price have. No regrets after about a month.
