I really like this thing.
Everyone kept telling me they love their air fryer, so I wanted one. I became obsessed with finding the perfect one for me so after a month I settled on this one. First thing I made was berry crisp, threw the stuff together in a couple single serve bake dishes, set it to 350 for 40 minutes and it was perfect. No preheating, no heating the entire apartment, just perfect crisp. There were several complaints from other buyers who said there were missing pieces or their units didn’t work, or initially worked and then stopped working. Mine came very well packaged, no damage, all parts included, so I have no complaints there but I understand if maybe some sellers are less thorough or trustworthy in regards to the products they provide. Some complained that it was loud. This is the most quiet kitchen appliance I have ever purchased, it makes less noise than my microwave. Also, I’m not quite sure why people complain that the drip tray isn’t large enough, it’s literally the same dimensions as the bottom of the unit, so any spill-over should land on the tray unless you’re filling this unit over capacity somehow, not sure how that is possible. I also want to mention that although heat did radiate from the unit immediately around it, it did not heat up my kitchen and it stayed warm to the touch but it wasn’t hot so despite baking for 40 minutes I was able to open the oven door with my bare hands. . . Anyway, I’m very happy, so far. This is only day one so I will come back and update.***Update*** Sept. 25. . . 2 months after purchase:I’m still in-love with this item. No electrical issues, whatsoever. Looks like others have had theirs just outright die after working perfectly the first few days or month. Thankfully, that is not the case with mine. Others also reported the door not shutting properly or at all. This, too, has not been an issue. I’ve basically used this item every other day since it arrived. The only thing I will say is that there is definitely room for improvement. But, I’m just not picky enough to care, I am content in my complacency. For those of you who do care about such details: The temp is set in increments of 10 degrees, 5 would be better. Also, if you decide to stop cooking sooner than the time you’ve set it for, the unit never turns off like it would if the timer completed and it’s “finished.” There is no “clear” or reset button or even an on/off button, so if it bothers you that the screen doesn’t power down and displays the minutes remaining until you decide to use it again then you’re forced to just unplug the unit and plug it back in. And when the timer is done the “BEEP” is very loud and it will beep 5 times, no matter what, it will not be silenced until it has completed its beeps. But there is actually an updated model of this item so these features might be improved (although I have no idea) but it might be worth checking that newer model out if these would be issues for you.**8 month update**The plastic on the handle has cracked, but it does not interfere with the functionality and I am still in love.** 2.5 year update, Jan 2024**Still works with consistent use!

Surprisingly versatile and efficient
This is a serious step up from most other countertop units for a couple of reasons. One, this fryer is capable of far more than the familiar “bowl with a handle” type and is equipped with multiple racks that can be placed at different elevations and also includes a solid pan that can either be used for food or simply as a grease and crumb catcher. A built-in rotisserie function can easily handle small roasts or chickens, although a rotisserie basket is not included (and available separately at a decent price) it does include a rotisserie shaft and two “forks” to secure the item(s). This is not for someone simply cooking chicken nuggets or fish sticks for the kids, but a multifaceted system you will love. You will use this every day for more than you realize. Perfect for single folks as well as families, this will surprise you with a wide variety of uses.

Best Cooking Product I’ve Purchased
This is the best small over, airfryer, dehydrator I’ve ever had. It’s compact, QUICK, powerful, clean, and energy efficient especially since I live in the desert and I don’t like using my oven in the summer– this is PERFECT. I got it on sale on Amazon so I’m even more happy about it but it’s definitely worth the regular price. I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t baked in it yet or dehydrated anything but I imagine it is awesome because all the other things we do with it, it’s the best at and made well. Super recommend.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
I just received this Chefman 6 in 1 Air-fryer earlier today. I’ve cooked a ton of bacon in it earlier and am now dehydrating banana slices and grapes. It’s a bit early to have a definitive opinion, but I did want to share some first impressions.THE GOOD:- In other reviews I noted some who observed that the temperature up/down button increments in 10 degree steps. I assume their device was a generation older than mine as mine increments in 5 degrees steps. Nice!- I also noted in other reviews comments that the wire cooking racks are flimsy and that the wire mesh was so sharp it could cut your hand. After cooking bacon, the wire cooking racks had quite a bit of cooked on food product. Briefly soaking the racks in warm soapy water and using a stiff dish washing brush cleaned these up like new.- One or more reviewers mentioned that in spite of the drip pan, drips got past it and to the bottom of the device. I just simultaneously cooked three racks of bacon and not a drip of grease got past the drip tray.- Temp only goes to 400, but there’s an option to kick it up to 450 to crisp at the end of your cooking. Nice!- Oven light is nice.THE NOT AS GOOD- The flip light used to tell you to flip fries and such just illuminates, no sound. This needs to be an audible sound.- Venting to back instead of sides. The manual states the air fryer only needs to be 2″ away from the wall. I found that at 400 degrees and cooking for 15 minutes that the unit shut down on its own several times. I had to pull the air fryer away from the wall 6″ to keep it from shutting down. I assume the auto shut down was because of an overheat condition, but there was no message that indicated this.If my opinion changes, I’ll update, but I’d definitely rate this a great buy!

I love this Airfryer
I love this Airfryer, its design is tall and doesn’t take up too much space, works great easy to use and cooks fast. the highest heat level is 400. it helps keep down the smell of the food so your whole house doesn’t smell. it has many trays, one solid tray for the bottom and 3 trays, it can also cook small whole chickens and rotate it. you can bake, arifry oven and a few other settings.

Worth the Price
I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

good
It combines a rotating grill, a dehydrator and a convection oven. 17 preset functions on the touch screen can easily cope with frying, roasting, dehydrating and baking to meet various food needs. 1 Easy to operate, smart touch, one-click to start a delicious journey. During the cooking process, the large window design allows you to see the changes in food at a glance and keep track of the cooking progress at any time. The only drawback is that when you put a lot of food in, the food on the bottom cannot be cooked at the same time as the food on the top, so you still need to pay attention to the different times for the high and low foods.

We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.

I assume the auto shut down was because of an overheat condition, but there was no message that indicated this.If my opinion changes, I’ll update, but I’d definitely rate this a great buy!

I love this Airfryer
I love this Airfryer, its design is tall and doesn’t take up too much space, works great easy to use and cooks fast. the highest heat level is 400. it helps keep down the smell of the food so your whole house doesn’t smell. it has many trays, one solid tray for the bottom and 3 trays, it can also cook small whole chickens and rotate it. you can bake, arifry oven and a few other settings.

I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

It combines a rotating grill, a dehydrator and a convection oven. 17 preset functions on the touch screen can easily cope with frying, roasting, dehydrating and baking to meet various food needs. 1 Easy to operate, smart touch, one-click to start a delicious journey. During the cooking process, the large window design allows you to see the changes in food at a glance and keep track of the cooking progress at any time. The only drawback is that when you put a lot of food in, the food on the bottom cannot be cooked at the same time as the food on the top, so you still need to pay attention to the different times for the high and low foods.

We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.

I really like this thing.
Everyone kept telling me they love their air fryer, so I wanted one. I became obsessed with finding the perfect one for me so after a month I settled on this one. First thing I made was berry crisp, threw the stuff together in a couple single serve bake dishes, set it to 350 for 40 minutes and it was perfect. No preheating, no heating the entire apartment, just perfect crisp. There were several complaints from other buyers who said there were missing pieces or their units didn’t work, or initially worked and then stopped working. Mine came very well packaged, no damage, all parts included, so I have no complaints there but I understand if maybe some sellers are less thorough or trustworthy in regards to the products they provide. Some complained that it was loud. This is the most quiet kitchen appliance I have ever purchased, it makes less noise than my microwave. Also, I’m not quite sure why people complain that the drip tray isn’t large enough, it’s literally the same dimensions as the bottom of the unit, so any spill-over should land on the tray unless you’re filling this unit over capacity somehow, not sure how that is possible. I also want to mention that although heat did radiate from the unit immediately around it, it did not heat up my kitchen and it stayed warm to the touch but it wasn’t hot so despite baking for 40 minutes I was able to open the oven door with my bare hands. . . Anyway, I’m very happy, so far. This is only day one so I will come back and update.***Update*** Sept. 25. . . 2 months after purchase:I’m still in-love with this item. No electrical issues, whatsoever. Looks like others have had theirs just outright die after working perfectly the first few days or month. Thankfully, that is not the case with mine. Others also reported the door not shutting properly or at all. This, too, has not been an issue. I’ve basically used this item every other day since it arrived. The only thing I will say is that there is definitely room for improvement. But, I’m just not picky enough to care, I am content in my complacency. For those of you who do care about such details: The temp is set in increments of 10 degrees, 5 would be better. Also, if you decide to stop cooking sooner than the time you’ve set it for, the unit never turns off like it would if the timer completed and it’s “finished.” There is no “clear” or reset button or even an on/off button, so if it bothers you that the screen doesn’t power down and displays the minutes remaining until you decide to use it again then you’re forced to just unplug the unit and plug it back in. And when the timer is done the “BEEP” is very loud and it will beep 5 times, no matter what, it will not be silenced until it has completed its beeps. But there is actually an updated model of this item so these features might be improved (although I have no idea) but it might be worth checking that newer model out if these would be issues for you.**8 month update**The plastic on the handle has cracked, but it does not interfere with the functionality and I am still in love.** 2.5 year update, Jan 2024**Still works with consistent use!

Surprisingly versatile and efficient
This is a serious step up from most other countertop units for a couple of reasons. One, this fryer is capable of far more than the familiar “bowl with a handle” type and is equipped with multiple racks that can be placed at different elevations and also includes a solid pan that can either be used for food or simply as a grease and crumb catcher. A built-in rotisserie function can easily handle small roasts or chickens, although a rotisserie basket is not included (and available separately at a decent price) it does include a rotisserie shaft and two “forks” to secure the item(s). This is not for someone simply cooking chicken nuggets or fish sticks for the kids, but a multifaceted system you will love. You will use this every day for more than you realize. Perfect for single folks as well as families, this will surprise you with a wide variety of uses.

Best Cooking Product I’ve Purchased
This is the best small over, airfryer, dehydrator I’ve ever had. It’s compact, QUICK, powerful, clean, and energy efficient especially since I live in the desert and I don’t like using my oven in the summer– this is PERFECT. I got it on sale on Amazon so I’m even more happy about it but it’s definitely worth the regular price. I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t baked in it yet or dehydrated anything but I imagine it is awesome because all the other things we do with it, it’s the best at and made well. Super recommend.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
I just received this Chefman 6 in 1 Air-fryer earlier today. I’ve cooked a ton of bacon in it earlier and am now dehydrating banana slices and grapes. It’s a bit early to have a definitive opinion, but I did want to share some first impressions.THE GOOD:- In other reviews I noted some who observed that the temperature up/down button increments in 10 degree steps. I assume their device was a generation older than mine as mine increments in 5 degrees steps. Nice!- I also noted in other reviews comments that the wire cooking racks are flimsy and that the wire mesh was so sharp it could cut your hand. After cooking bacon, the wire cooking racks had quite a bit of cooked on food product. Briefly soaking the racks in warm soapy water and using a stiff dish washing brush cleaned these up like new.- One or more reviewers mentioned that in spite of the drip pan, drips got past it and to the bottom of the device. I just simultaneously cooked three racks of bacon and not a drip of grease got past the drip tray.- Temp only goes to 400, but there’s an option to kick it up to 450 to crisp at the end of your cooking. Nice!- Oven light is nice.THE NOT AS GOOD- The flip light used to tell you to flip fries and such just illuminates, no sound. This needs to be an audible sound.- Venting to back instead of sides. The manual states the air fryer only needs to be 2″ away from the wall. I found that at 400 degrees and cooking for 15 minutes that the unit shut down on its own several times.

And when the timer is done the “BEEP” is very loud and it will beep 5 times, no matter what, it will not be silenced until it has completed its beeps. But there is actually an updated model of this item so these features might be improved (although I have no idea) but it might be worth checking that newer model out if these would be issues for you.**8 month update**The plastic on the handle has cracked, but it does not interfere with the functionality and I am still in love.** 2.5 year update, Jan 2024**Still works with consistent use!

Surprisingly versatile and efficient
This is a serious step up from most other countertop units for a couple of reasons. One, this fryer is capable of far more than the familiar “bowl with a handle” type and is equipped with multiple racks that can be placed at different elevations and also includes a solid pan that can either be used for food or simply as a grease and crumb catcher. A built-in rotisserie function can easily handle small roasts or chickens, although a rotisserie basket is not included (and available separately at a decent price) it does include a rotisserie shaft and two “forks” to secure the item(s). This is not for someone simply cooking chicken nuggets or fish sticks for the kids, but a multifaceted system you will love. You will use this every day for more than you realize. Perfect for single folks as well as families, this will surprise you with a wide variety of uses.

Best Cooking Product I’ve Purchased
This is the best small over, airfryer, dehydrator I’ve ever had. It’s compact, QUICK, powerful, clean, and energy efficient especially since I live in the desert and I don’t like using my oven in the summer– this is PERFECT. I got it on sale on Amazon so I’m even more happy about it but it’s definitely worth the regular price. I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t baked in it yet or dehydrated anything but I imagine it is awesome because all the other things we do with it, it’s the best at and made well. Super recommend.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
I just received this Chefman 6 in 1 Air-fryer earlier today. I’ve cooked a ton of bacon in it earlier and am now dehydrating banana slices and grapes. It’s a bit early to have a definitive opinion, but I did want to share some first impressions.THE GOOD:- In other reviews I noted some who observed that the temperature up/down button increments in 10 degree steps. I assume their device was a generation older than mine as mine increments in 5 degrees steps. Nice!- I also noted in other reviews comments that the wire cooking racks are flimsy and that the wire mesh was so sharp it could cut your hand. After cooking bacon, the wire cooking racks had quite a bit of cooked on food product. Briefly soaking the racks in warm soapy water and using a stiff dish washing brush cleaned these up like new.- One or more reviewers mentioned that in spite of the drip pan, drips got past it and to the bottom of the device. I just simultaneously cooked three racks of bacon and not a drip of grease got past the drip tray.- Temp only goes to 400, but there’s an option to kick it up to 450 to crisp at the end of your cooking. Nice!- Oven light is nice.THE NOT AS GOOD- The flip light used to tell you to flip fries and such just illuminates, no sound. This needs to be an audible sound.- Venting to back instead of sides. The manual states the air fryer only needs to be 2″ away from the wall. I found that at 400 degrees and cooking for 15 minutes that the unit shut down on its own several times. I had to pull the air fryer away from the wall 6″ to keep it from shutting down. I assume the auto shut down was because of an overheat condition, but there was no message that indicated this.If my opinion changes, I’ll update, but I’d definitely rate this a great buy!

I love this Airfryer
I love this Airfryer, its design is tall and doesn’t take up too much space, works great easy to use and cooks fast. the highest heat level is 400. it helps keep down the smell of the food so your whole house doesn’t smell. it has many trays, one solid tray for the bottom and 3 trays, it can also cook small whole chickens and rotate it. you can bake, arifry oven and a few other settings.

Worth the Price
I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

good
It combines a rotating grill, a dehydrator and a convection oven. 17 preset functions on the touch screen can easily cope with frying, roasting, dehydrating and baking to meet various food needs. 1 Easy to operate, smart touch, one-click to start a delicious journey. During the cooking process, the large window design allows you to see the changes in food at a glance and keep track of the cooking progress at any time. The only drawback is that when you put a lot of food in, the food on the bottom cannot be cooked at the same time as the food on the top, so you still need to pay attention to the different times for the high and low foods.

Would Definitely Recommend
We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.
