Henckels International and reach as many as 33,000 stores nationwide. Units were sold at Walmart from July 2017 to December 2020 for as much as $240.

Henckels International air fryers with model numbers 30520, 30530, 30550, 30560, 30570, 30580, and 30590. The UPC 636391531571 appears on the underside of the fryer’s electrical base.”
