I use to own an actifry which broke after 5 years following a move so I gave a try to this airfrier. Both are great products, let me give you a bit of details about the Avalon product.
So far, i have cooked fries, sweet potatoes fries, baking a pumpkin.
I also tried to cook wonton for "fried" dumpling, unfortunately i did not yet know it was cooking That much faster than the actifry and the wonton were VERY overcooked! Still tasted great though.
Let me give you a bit of details about the Avalon product:
+++ cooking time is about half the time of the actifry (first generation). For exemple, sweet potatoes used to take me about 30 min to make fries, with the avalon, my sweet potato fries are ready in 15 min.
++ the timer stops the machine when time runs out.
++ you can adjust the temperature
- if you want to add a bit of oil to get a better texture, you need to do it before in a separate bowl.
- you have to divide the time and mix the fries (or whatever you are making if the ingredient is small) for a better texture. Unlike the actifry, the airfrier does not mix your ingredients by itself and does not let the ingredients.
++ this is very versatile because there are no mixing movement. I was able to cook a mini pumpkin in 10 minute to add the puree to a risotto.
+++ healthy and delicious!
++price is not too expensive.
-when I unpacked it, i had a hard time to open it, the cardboard was stuck and I was afraid to break it. Luckily it did not.
I would buy this product again if I had to do it again. It looks well built, but i cannot comment on durability because I only had it for about a month.

Reviews with images
SEE PICTURES! Yes, it browns! Clean up is a breeze! We love it!
I have never had such a hard time deciding which brand or model Airfryer I should buy! Did I want bells and whistles? Did it brown food? Did it actually do what it says it does? As always, I went with my trusted Amazon and read all of the reviews. I finally settled on the Avalon brand AB-Airfyer 100B because it was recommended on another site as offering the most bang for the buck. The first test! What's in the box? It's really simple...it's wider than your coffee maker in the shape of a bubble! It has 3 pieces - the main unit, the basket and the drip tray. All fit neatly inside each other and it's really as simple as 1-2-3! My teen son wanted to try tator tots first because they always come out soggy in the oven unless they are cooked forever. He popped them in the basket, set the timer, set the temperature and viola! Crispy tator tots! I then decided to really test it! Someone had written that it doesn't brown?? YES IT DOES! Please look at the pictures I have posted below! No oil, just seasoning. 22 minutes later...delicious chicken with sealed in juices and yes, it was browned! Clean up you ask? Very simple. You can wash in warm soapy water or you can toss it in the dishwasher. With the non-stick coating, we opted to just hand wash because it was THAT easy to do! What else can it do? It says it can cook a burger or bake a cake! I will have to update you when I get to that one! For now, I wanted to make sure that people knew that it really did brown the food! It's nice to see all the grease drip below the food basket and not have it anywhere near what you are about to consume!
