Having had a chance to try this system on several different occasions throughout a good solid week I have some thoughts to share on this system. First, my initial impressions were somewhat questionable when unboxing it as I was somewhat skeptical in terms of how good this system would sound base on outward appearance, but it actually surprised me after setting it up. Also, when unboxing it I noticed that there were no batteries included for the remote which is a little shocking for something like this when most things that have remotes do come with batteries which had me questioning seriously how good this thing might actually be where a corner was cut on that.
How it sounds ---- This system sounds pretty good, even at loud volumes that fill the room, but clearly this system is designed for casual listening, and it does that very well. After putting a CD in and listening to some alternative rock that I used to listen to in high school found myself reflecting back to those times. The bass is good and clean but not too loud, mids were good for vocal and highs were decent. I would say the sound is fairly well balanced for what this system is, and perfect for a casual listener who wants to do what I did and pop in some old CD's and just have some background music play while reading or doing work or stuff around the house.
Features - The FM radio works good with it being a digital tuner, the Bluetooth is great, and CDs are great, but I have no idea why Panasonic did not put an Aux Input for a phono player, an AM Tuner in or an HD radio tuner other than to keep costs down. It would have been nice to see at least some of those features, and at the very least the AM Tuner, which is almost a deal breaker to me, especially if you like to listen to public news radio, sports or other talk radio. That said they did include a USB port for MP3 playback which is cool but really not all that useful except in specific scenarios. If you don't listen to AM radio or don't need the Aux input then this isn't a big deal, but it's why moved this review to 3 stars. In all, I was not that impressed with the features as it does lack some that I think are essential but if it has what you need then you won't be disappointed at least with the sound from it.
Bluetooth - This is one area I'd say it works very well, once you pair with your phone, PC or whatever you want to pair it with, it quickly reconnects when it's turned on and is immediately ready for playback. Over the last week, I actually like listening to audio on this better than my smart speaker because it sounds better and it's MUCH easier to use. Just open my favorite audio app (Pandora, YouTube Music, etc.) hit play, and turn this system on and boom it's playing there. No fussing with apps, "casting" or settings to get it work, which has always been my biggest complaint with smart speakers where you get locked to using one ecosystem and beyond that it's difficult to use.
I'd recommend this system only if it has the features that you need/want like the CD Player and Bluetooth, ... otherwise I'd say look at other models or other systems. Knowing the features it works good, and I'd recommend it if you're using it to listen to Bluetooth or CDs from your collection.

If you're looking for a laptop that has top notch performance, an awesome display and sound that sets it apart from all others, look no further. When unboxing this laptop it became quite clear that ASUS intended this to be a premium laptop with all of the latest tech while keeping it simple and right to the point. Inside you'll find the laptop, and a power brick with charging cord and a few cards to get started.
Setup out of the box was pretty quick and easy. If you have a Microsoft Account, you just sign in and if you want to restore from another PC's backup you'll have everything ready to go on your new one which is what I did. Once setup was complete, there were a number of updates which did take a little bit of time but not bad overall. Then on to installing Steam, Epic Game store and Windows Xbox app game stores.
The first thing you'll notice is the display, the color is vivid and blacks are deep and whites are super bright. This display is every bit as good looking as my S23 Ultra's display which if you haven't experienced you'll definitely notice. I really like Asus and the Armoury Crate software as it allows you to fine tune not only the cool slash lights on the rear of the display but also the RGB, system performance/optimization and display settings. Here, you can change the vivid profile to an sRGB profile that is tuned and accurate. Finally, photos that look on the screen just like you took them! That said, I think it's worth mentioning the RGB colors on the keyboard when synced with the display in Armoury Crate with the Asus wallpaper, is a wow, for sure!
As for other things that I love, the keys are solid and are great to type on and the trackpad is large and easy to use. I do wish the direction keys were larger but that's my only nit pick about the keyboard that I have. The aluminum body is solid, light and it feels super premium. I can tell that Asus definitely took time to make sure this part of the design was right and it shows.
The slash lighting is a tiny disappointment as there's not a ton of customization that I found right off the go, hopefully this is something Asus addresses at some point in the future. The same for the keyboard, I couldn't tell if you can customize colors on individual keys (as you can't with the presets). They still look amazing and there's more customization with the keyboard than there is the slash lighting.
Now, for the reasons that I'd really recommend this laptop outside of the OLED display. The first is the sound, and I must say WOW. I've never heard sound from a laptop sound as good as it does from this. The woofers definitely thump and the highs are balanced just right and it's loud. Finally a laptop that has sound that outperforms every tablet out there and every other laptop I've heard sound from in recent years. That's not to say there aren't others that are good but this laptop delivers a solid A+ in this area.
The next is performance, which is why you're looking at it. First thing, I wouldn't let the RTX 4060 and 16GB hold you back. I was able to throw every modern title I own at it along with some new ones from the Xbox store and every game can be ran at max settings with very smooth performance. Granted, if you're after higher FPS, then the higher end cards will deliver, but most games I threw at it ranged from 65 FPS on the low end to over 120 FPS on other titles, overall very solid in terms of performance. If you just want it to game and perform, this one delivers that's for sure.
My only complaint is the ram is NOT upgradeable and there's not a 2nd NVME M.2 slot to add more storage, though16gb RAM is sufficient for most tasks and games today and likely for a while to come. For the ram, it doesn't affect performance in any way that I can tell for what I do so I'm not sure it's a negative but it would have been nice to see slots to add ram. For the M.2, however, I would say that's a bigger complaint for sure, as most game titles are over 50GB with many now pushing upwards of 100GB so 1TB is no where near enough if you have more than a couple games installed. You do have a USB4 type C slot which is great and more than fast enough to add an external NVME storage drive that's capable of holding all your games but I don't like dragging drives around and it's easier to just have what I need in the laptop so that is one upgrade I'd recommend making right away and then use your old drive in an external NVME M.2 to USB Type C adapter which you'll need to copy to the new drive should you upgrade.
Overall, despite that one complaint, I think this laptop is solid and I'd absolutely recommend it. Upgrading the SSD isn't a big deal and larger 4TB drives are now much less expensive than they used to be so it would be a good upgrade to do right off the bat. Outside of that, it performs very well and at least for me does not disappoint.

This printer is a great simple and easy to use all in one that's perfect for the small home office or small office needs. Setup is as easy as unboxing it, plugging it in and using the HP Smart app to set it up with an Android or iOS phone or tablet and even your PC. My Windows machine found it right away and added it without any special downloads, however, with the HP Smart app you get more control over your printer and easier use of the scanner.
For speed, this printer is fairly quick though I did notice a slight delay as compared to another HP LaserJet that I have but it's quick once it get's going. Prints are crisp and fine which make documents easy to read and because it's a BW printer it's very economical to print with. I love the HP Smart app as it has all kinds of templates and projects that I didn't even know of until setting this printer up, like coloring pages for the kids or calendars, all with a few clicks in the app from your phone or tablet, it's amazing.
The controls are very basic so making copies and scans is an easy task with little effort and with the app scans are easier than ever. I do like the ID copy/scan feature as it makes getting both side in one print a snap.
The paper tray is easy to use and makes it easy to keep the printer footprint small though I really which HP could come up with a design to keep the footprint super small like this and have the paper tray underneath the printer to minimize the amount of space it takes up when you have paper loaded.
As for the four star rating, I'd recommend this printer but think it's fair to point out that the paper tray once loaded does make it harder to find a spot on a desk or shelf that's already crowded. The printer works great but is a little bit on the noisy side compared to the other LaserJet I have though it is tolerable and is only noisy while jobs are actually printing.
Outside of those two things, I think this printer is great and is one I have setup in my gaming room because it's small and will see only occasional use when I'm using the computer for email or other tasks outside of games.

Heavy tasks are no problem with better performance to power efficiency, and our heatsink gives you quiet heat dissipation in a sleek design.
Blazing fast NVME drive! Perfect for gaming!

This is the drive to get if you're looking to upgrade or expand storage on your laptop, PC or PS5 console. First, this drive is backwards compatible with Gen3 slots and this particular model has a heat sink pre-attached if you're installing it in to a console or PC where there is no pre-installed heatsink. It is a low profile and helps keep the drive cool, especially when you're putting it under heavy read/write operations like during gaming. For the boards that have a heatsink built-in Crucial offers one identical without the pre-installed heat sink.
If you're into gaming whter on PC or PS5, I'd say this is a must-have upgrade, it is a supported drive for Microsoft's DirectStorage on Windows and obviously would be a great way to expand storage on a PS5. I'm looking forward to more PC games supporting Direct Storage and I'd say if you have PS5 I'd definitely get one of these as it cuts load times. As of right now there are not a ton of games on Windows that support this technology, but updates are coming to several titles I play that are supposed to get updates to take advantage of it. It's nice knowing that my machine is ready for it and I can't wait. It is however important to note that DirectStorage does not work with RAID enabled so I would recommend checking Microsoft's requirements to enable this feature via a Google search.
That said, this drive even just compared to other older NVME drives is capable of loading things faster with it's blazing fast read and write times and even just copying large files or videos it's clear this drive is blazing fast. When running the CrystalDisk benchmark on my machine the read and write speeds are consistent with the advertised speeds, though it is worth noting that your motherboard, and software settings may vary results but it is fair to say it's in line with speeds advertised. At these speeds the bottleneck quickly become other areas in your system like the CPU/GPU and RAM with the Chipset/Motherboard. Ultimately, that makes this drive a good futureproof investment that should be able to last and what's impressive is that Crucial backs this drive with a 5 year warranty on top of that.
So even if your current motherboard doesn't support Gen4 slots onboard the new board surely will and this drive will be ready. Alternatively, you can get a PCI-Express NVME adapter that supports Gen4 provided you have a PCI-E x4 slot available so that is another option to expand storage WITHOUT having upgrade your motherboard. Again, there may be other bottlenecks doing that and speeds would then be based on what the motherboard supports on the PCI-E bus/chipset, but it is a way to expand storage and take advantage of Gen4 speeds without totally changing your system. This is also a great way to just add storage for installing games to the drive (which is what I do) without having to move your OS installation, which requires a number of steps and an adapter if your PC or laptop does not have a second NVME slot.
I'd recommend this drive, especially if you are looking to expand storage and having other Crucial drives I can say they are dependable and offer consistent performance over the long term or at least they have for me and this drive is no exception.

Dell monitors have always generally been among the top and this monitor is certainly no exception. It's responsive and even though it's a gaming monitor the colors and brightness are perfect for everyday use and gaming. You can of course tune the picture to your taste but I found that it's ready out of the box and seems Dell sets them up as part of testing to make sure they offer a great picture without any tweaking.
For connectivity, you get an HDMI port, two Display Ports and a USB port (that enables connection to the ports on the bottom of the display which also have charging capability). I really like that this monitor has charging for USB as I can charge my mouse or headset and no longer have to hunt down a charging capable port on my PC. In addition, Dell included a USB-C to DP cable, which is awesome, so now not only is it connected to my desktop but I can also connect my laptop or tablet with ease for a larger display. I do wish it had USB-C connectivity so that it could take advantage of USB connectivity for a Keyboard/mouse but that's easily solved with a cheap USB C docking hub.
As for gaming, this display is very responsive with no tearing and no noticeable lag on my gaming setup. The picture is great, with blacks being black and colors good but not overly saturated or exaggerated as some gaming monitors tend to be. The motion on a connected Nvidia card at the 240hz refresh rate makes for a buttery smooth picture and I can say if you have yet to take the leap to try a high refresh rate monitor even in just windows not gaming, you'll be shocked at what a difference it really makes.
Overall, I'm impressed with this display and the features Dell included. I'd recommend this one for sure!

This is a great printer for a small office or home office that offers many all in one features you need for work, school and small home projects. Setup is really easy, simply plug it in after following the instructions to remove all of the packing materials and then install the toner. Once that's done, it's just a matter of configuring your phone, tablet or computer to use the printer and scanner. This printer is also compatible with a toner service where you can have peace of mind that you'll never run out of toner and best of all it saves from buying cartridges and risking getting an inferior non-branded cartridge which in my experience is a roll of the dice.
As for print quality, this printer is amazing, it prints extremely fast and has a large paper tray that ensures there's enough paper for large printouts. The large color touchscreen display makes it easy to use the multifunction features where you can scan, and make copies. Even though this printer prints in black and white it does scan in color and the document feeder takes the work out of scanning/copying multi-page documents. This machine is perfect for running a small office or just to have at home in a small home office setup for the occasional prints and scans though it can handle a good amount of volume when you need it to. It's quick to wake up and doesn't make much noise too, very impressed.
I'd definitely recommend this printer as it's so far been solid for me and I've printed several multipage documents and use the copy function to make duplicate copies all without any issue.

Experience absolute power and precision that blows you away with the Razer Nommo V2 Pro—a fully-loaded, full-range speaker system and wireless subwoofer combo. Amplified by THX Spatial Audio and Razer Chroma RGB, set the stage for a cinematic audio-visual experience primed for your battlestation.
Amazing sound, cool RGB, but lacks in some areas
Customer Rating
4.0
The Razer Nommo V2 speakers are pretty awesome overall and I'd absolutely recommend them with a few caveats.. if you want a simple setup for your PC that sounds awesome, look no further but check out the things I had concern with before you get them to make sure it won't be an issue with your setup.
First, here's the short list of what's awesome and what could be better (or what may be a deal breaker to some):
What's awesome:
Wireless sub
Wireless control dial
Bluetooth connectivity
Awesome powerful clear sound, with balanced strong bass
RGB syncs with Synapse, is bright and is easily customized or synced to many games
The dial control can be customized through synapse
THX spatial audio is cool and truly sounds amazing, but only works with Synapse
Wireless control dial
Bluetooth connectivity
Awesome powerful clear sound, with balanced strong bass
RGB syncs with Synapse, is bright and is easily customized or synced to many games
The dial control can be customized through synapse
THX spatial audio is cool and truly sounds amazing, but only works with Synapse
What could be better:
No inputs outside of USB and no headphone jack
No Xbox support
No adjustability and speakers are tall, will probably only sit next to your monitor, not under!
Spatial audio only works with Synapse software
Large wall power brick, knocks out several spaces on power strip
When Bluetooth connected RGB flashes it is VERY distracting with no way to customize it
No remote
No Xbox support
No adjustability and speakers are tall, will probably only sit next to your monitor, not under!
Spatial audio only works with Synapse software
Large wall power brick, knocks out several spaces on power strip
When Bluetooth connected RGB flashes it is VERY distracting with no way to customize it
No remote
Before going into the things that I wish could be better... I have to say these are amazing and the wireless control with wireless sub is awesome. It goes a long way toward eliminating clutter on your desk and keeps wires to a minimum. If that's the goal and you don't have a huge monitor or dual monitors these will be great. These speakers just sound amazing. They are powerful, and are very responsive with thundering bass, clear mids and trebles. At low volume they sounds great too, so I'm overall impressed in that aspect which is really the key thing for most people. When compared with the Leviathan or Creative Katana V2 though, these simply lack in a couple several areas for a lot of gaming setups, and I feel like Razer kind of missed the mark on these.
First concern I have is the size and recommended spacing for the THX audio.. these speakers cannot be adjusted neither height or direction and it DOES matter if you want to use the spatial audio. I have a gaming setup with an 49" ultra-wide monitor and there's simply just no way to set these speakers on the desk and have it work as they end up too far apart for THX to work optimally. Granted they do work in normal audio modes and if you don't care about the THX spatial audio then it wont matter as much. For most setups these, probably won't fit under your monitor because they're so tall/big and cannot be adjusted in any way. For being so premium, I would have expected that there would be some adjustability and compatibility with gaming setups that have large ultra wide displays or dual monitors which nearly all of my gaming friends have one or the other. Many used to have dual displays but have went to Ultrawide displays as it's just more immersive and these just don't jive with that kind of setup very well as they cannot sit lower and can really end up sitting only to the side. For some, this might not be a big deal and they have desk space for them to sit on the side but if you have a 38" or larger ultra wide or a larger 4k display you may want to check before you jump on these as there may be better options for that kind of setup like the Leviathan Soundbar or Katana V2.
Second is the complete lack of inputs. I am still stunned that there's no optical in or at the very least an analog in for sources that are not able to connect via USB or Bluetooth. For being so premium this is nearly a deal breaker unless you only ever intend to connect them to your PC.
Again for being so premium, I really wish these had a remote control with volume, keys for skipping, pausing, changing audio sources, sub volume, RGB brightness, etc. The dial is cool for simple tasks like volume and muting, but could have been complimented with a small remote control for some of these other tasks so you don't have to remember a bunch of different clicks or pull it up on the computer to adjust things.
The last is the Bluetooth mode... I don't know what Razer was thinking here.. if you connect these to the Bluetooth you will have no control over the RGB and to me it's very distracting and it makes that mode almost worthless, I absolutely do not like using them in Bluetooth mode because of that and really no ability to control anything while in Bluetooth, so Razer clearly didn't fully develop that feature out.
In all, yes, I'd recommend these only for the fact they are wireless and sound truly amazing and if the caveats listed don't bother you I'd say get them, you won't be disappointed.
If those areas do seem like they could be a concern, look at Razer's other speakers or look at other brands like Creative or SteelSeries for other options as these may fall short of expectation if any of those things are of concern for your setup.

There are a good number of things I love about this keyboard with the first being the overall look, feel and function of it. For a gaming keyboard, this thing is nice, it has the ability to make on the fly adjustments for rapid fire and actuation and even the ability to activate different functions through dedicated control buttons and the way Razer laid this keyboard out truly makes it functional for gaming. The switches are responsive, and actuation can be saved and adjusted to fit your preference or need during the game. In addition, the rapid-fire (or rapid trigger) mode can be activated and adjusted the same way as well. With the software, you can adjust and customize functions more for media, gaming and more and you can access macros with a remappable macro key. You can access 6 different profiles on the fly with the hotkeys at any time and 4 of the 6 are available to be customized to your needs. In addition, you can customize the RGB lighting to match your setup and rig with a number of games having support for lighting through Razer Synapse. I like the premium look and feel of this keyboard and my favorite feature is the multi-function media control button as I find myself using it most frequently both in game and when using it for normal desktop work outside of gaming.
I'd definitely recommend this keyboard as both an upgrade and a great way to start updating your machine with Razer gaming accessories to give you the best in game performance.

This is an acceptable basic ergonomic keyboard for home or office use. There are stands on the front of the keyboard to lift the wrist rest up higher which does make it more comfortable to type on. So far, I've been happy with typing on it with the keys being responsive and are generally reliable. I have had the space bar stick/get stuck when pushing it a specific way a couple times and for that reason I took the review down from 5 stars. The build quality is "okay" with it being plastic but surprisingly it did have some weight to it which was nice as it helps keep the keyboard firmly in place. It does have shared media keys on the F-keys that you can activate with the function button as a shortcut to volume controls, calculator, windows explorer, search and music which all work out of the box as you'd expect with no software needed to install. I do wish that it had smaller dedicated media keys for volume, calculator and explorer somewhere out of the way on the keyboard, but this design is functional and works. I'd recommend it as a good basic keyboard that is ergonomic which is a plus. For anyone who hasn't tried one, I'd say give it a chance if you can type without looking at the keys. Once you're used to it, you'll find that you can type faster with less effort on it vs. a standard keyboard.

Whether your mess is wet or dry, the Roomba Combo i5+ robot vacuum and mop can double up on cleaning tasks with one machine. From spilled crackers to every day shoe prints—this robot can handle it. Set it to vacuum only or vacuum & mop your hard floors by swapping in the Roomba Combo Bin.

This generation of iRobot is simply amazing. Setup is easy and only takes a few minutes with the iRobot app on your phone or tablet. There you can also connect it to Google Home or Alexa and control it with your voice so you don't even need the app once you have completely set it up and customized the jobs to your home. From there you simply just speak what you want it to do and then you don't need the app unless you need to update it or perform maintenance.
There are several things I can say about this machine that make it stand out above the rest. The first is the self-emptying capability and the second is the mopping ability. To give the machine the ability to vacuum and mop hard floors, you simply change out the bin to a special vacuum/mop bin and it'll do both when you set it up to do both. One thing to remember is that if you have carpets you'll need to change the bins to vacuum only so that it doesn't try to wet mop your carpet and once your rooms are set it should adapt to either vacuum or mop according to what bin is on it and how you have rooms setup on the app.
This machine is pretty clever, it learns the layout of your house when you first set it up, so it knows where furniture is, where different floors and rooms are so that you can customize the jobs to each area/room with the app. It also learns and adapts when things appear in it's path and I must say that they have updated intelligence on it so that it recognizes certain things to avoid them like stairs.
Probably the most important thing is how well does it work... for vacuuming and keeping up with every day traffic, this thing is amazing. Your house will always look good and reduce the heavy cleaning to only an occasional need so you can focus on other things. The bin is great as it makes emptying the bin. Overall this is a pretty amazing machine and I'd definitely recommend getting one or giving one as a gift if you know someone who doesn't have one that has hard floors and carpets. The tech seems like it'd be hard to use but I was able to show mother how to use this one and now she wants one even though she's not so tech inclined. iRobot makes it easy to troubleshoot problems and reorder products with simple guides in the app whenever there's a problem or maintenance is needed.

Bose - Sleepbuds II — Soothing Sounds and Noise-masking Technology Designed for Better Sleep - White/Silver
Bose Sleepbuds II deliver relaxing sounds that help you fall asleep, and use Bose noise-masking technology so you stay asleep. Tiny, wireless Sleepbuds II are designed for comfort with sleep technology clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster. Sleepbuds II play content only from the Bose Sleep app, which gives you full control of the Sound Library and helps you personalize features. Discover tranquil tones and soothing sounds from nature. Or, use Bose noise-masking sounds to cover unwanted nighttime noise. Download your favorite sounds directly to Sleepbuds II, control volume, and set a personal wake-up alarm. Sleepbuds II feature proprietary eartips made of soft silicone for a comfortable, secure fit. Sleep on your back or side, or rollover during the night, they’ll stay put. Get up to ten hours of battery life from a single charge, enough for a full night’s sleep — and three additional charges from the portable case.
If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night
Yes, for me they blocked out sounds especially when playing the sound clips.. they do have a built-in alarm that you can set.

PowerVision - PowerDolphin Wizard Water Drone - White/Gray
Find the best fishing spots with this PowerDolphin Wizard water drone. The included PowerSeeker gives you data on water conditions, and the BaitBox function lets you drop bait to attract fish. This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.
How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.
This one is not really designed for going and staying underwater though it can be submerged.:. it’s mostly designed to work on the surface though can skip under the surface and drop the camera under the surface to see below the drone. PowerVision has another drone that is designed for complete underwater use though.

Ninja - Foodi TenderCrisp 6.52qt Digital Pressure Cooker - Black
Ninja Foodi's TenderCrisp pressure cooker allows you to achieve all the quick cooking and tenderizing wonders that you love about pressure cookers. The Foodi's Crisping Lid allows you to air fry, bake/roast, and broil. That means you can give your tender, juicy pressure-cooked meals a golden, crispy finish. The secret is TenderCrisp Technology, which produces the perfect combination of heat, fan velocity, and air circulation to give your food even crisping from top to bottom.
Does this pressure cooker air crisper combo item use silicone rings ? I hear the Rings hold smells and are almost impossible to get stains out of them .
It is a silicone ring that seals it. The manual states that you must keep the ring clean by removing and cleaning the ring AND lid after each time you use it or that there may be a risk it holding smells. Both the ring and lid should not be washed in the dishwasher of course!! So far, I have not noticed any stains or smells after using it while pressure cooking with really intense seasonings like rosemary, celery, and onions/garlic, and I've thoroughly cleaned the seal and appliance every time after each use as the manual states. My recommendation is going to be follow what it says in the manual and you should be okay. In terms of stains, I wouldn't rule them out from being possible to happen in the right conditions though I can't imagine it affecting anything. My thoughts on that are that the only reason you wouldn't ever see it on other kinds of seals is because the seal itself is black or another color but in terms of stains on the one i have, I've seen none so far!

Philips - Viva Collection 2.75 qt. TurboStar™ Analog Air Fryer - Black
Air is the new oil, and now with the Philips Airfryer you can use that air to fry in a healthier way with up to 75% less fat! Thanks to Philips unique TurboStar™ technology, all food is exposed to constant, circulating heat allowing you to cook your favorite foods with a tablespoon or less of oil. The result is evenly fried food – with no turning or shaking needed. Preset meals on the digital Airfryer allow you to cook your favorite recipes at the touch of a button.
Does the Phillips AirFryer 9621/96 have a stainless steel basket?
It does not appear to be just plain stainless (i'm sure because food would stick to it as it fries in the Air Fryer). It appears to be a non-stick metal basket, and is NOT safe to wash in the dishwasher. It has to be hand washed but I've never had any difficultly with cleaning it.
