Key features
Compact footprint
Small enough to keep on the worktop without losing usable space, which is the main reason people pick it over a larger unit they would have to put away.
Specifications

| Power | 1200 W |
| Footprint | 26 x 30 cm |
Best suited for
One person, or a second air fryer for a small kitchen where worktop space is the binding constraint.
Limitations or considerations
Capacity. Owners cooking for two consistently describe having to run it twice.
Detailed analysis
The Compact 3 has the highest negative share of the three, and nearly all of it is capacity. That is worth reading carefully: people are not unhappy with how it cooks, they are unhappy that they bought a 3.2 qt unit for a two-person household.
Bought for what it is, it rates well. The short preheat and the fact it can live on the worktop are the two things owners mention unprompted.

FAQs
The basket and crisper plate are removable. Check the manual before putting either in the dishwasher - the coating on some models does not tolerate it.
