Overview
The Willow 7723MY measures 14.32 x 11.23 x 11.59 in and weighs 13.9 lb, which is on the heavier side for a 5-qt unit but still manageable on a standard countertop. Its construction from 99% recycled plastics is the most distinctive feature in its spec sheet, setting it apart from conventional plastic-shell competitors.
With 1500W of power and touch controls, performance is in line with the bulk of 5-qt basket air fryers in this price range. The black color and clean touch interface give it a modern kitchen look. No max temperature or preset program count is listed, so buyers who care deeply about those details should confirm them before purchasing.
The 4.2 rating across 119 reviews is adequate but sits below the category average for standout models. That score suggests the Willow performs as expected without any notable weaknesses or strengths beyond its recycled-material construction.
Performance notes
At 1500W, this Willow operates at the same power level as many compact competitors. The 5-qt basket handles single-serve to two-person meals. Touch controls cover time and temperature adjustments. The recycled-plastic housing is the primary differentiator from a spec standpoint. Without a published max temp, confirm the unit reaches your target cooking temperature before committing to more demanding recipes.
What buyers say
The Willow 7723MY holds a 4.2 rating from 119 buyers. That is a relatively small review pool, which limits confidence in the score, but the feedback does not indicate major reliability concerns. Buyers interested primarily in the eco angle appear generally satisfied. Those expecting premium performance at $79.99 should temper expectations, as the rating is functional rather than exceptional.

Frequently asked questions
Does the recycled plastic housing affect durability?
The manufacturer specifies the housing uses 99% recycled plastics. Whether recycled-content plastic performs differently from virgin plastic in long-term heat cycling depends on the specific polymer blend, which is not detailed in the available specs. Most air fryer housings do not make direct contact with the heating element, so the shell material is primarily a cosmetic and environmental consideration.
What can I cook in a 5-qt basket?
A 5-qt basket comfortably handles one to two chicken breasts, a pound of frozen fries, a couple of burgers, or vegetables for two. It is a practical size for weeknight dinners for one or two people. For larger quantities or a whole roasting chicken, you would need a bigger-capacity model.
How does the Willow 7723MY compare to the Chefman 5-qt models?
The Willow and Chefman 5-qt models share a similar capacity and 1500W power rating. The Chefman RJ38-5T is priced at $69.99 with a 4.6 rating from 203 reviews, giving it a stronger approval score and lower price. The Willow's primary distinction is its recycled-plastic construction, which may matter to eco-conscious shoppers even at a slight price premium.
