CHEFMAN Small Air Fryer Healthy Cooking, 3.6 Qt, Nonstick, User Friendly and Dual Control Temperature, w/ 60 Minute Timer & Auto Shutoff, Dishwasher Safe Basket, Matte Black, Cookbook Included

I researched so many air fryers and almost went with the glass front dual drawer Instant Pot brand because I love Instant Pot so much, but what sold me on this was the metal interior, the three metal shelves, in the footprint being tall versus wide so it takes up less counter space. I've had this 6 months and it is my most used appliance in the kitchen, and that's saying something. Maybe my toaster is used more than this, but that's it. Every other appliance is second. Even my Instant Pot! Baked apples, open face cheese melts of all kinds, brussel sprouts, baked oatmeal, salmon, potato wedges, fries of course; I can't begin to list everything. lt's great at reheating everything I've tried. Really it's just a really tiny oven. I haven't tried to rotisserie chicken yet, but I'm doing that this weekend. So if it doesn't go well I'll come back and do edits. The three shelves are the easiest to clean ever! I thought everything would stick in the holes, but they don't. It's just the right amount of shelves and they're just the right size to do everything I've wanted to do. My only complaint is that the outside is plastic and not wonderful plastic at that. I so wish the outside was high quality stainless steel. I would have paid double for it. I'm pretty picky when it comes to appliances. I don't want a one-trick pony and taking up all my kitchen space and not being worth the space they take up. So to give this air fryer this type of glowing review is a bit rare. But it deserves every star and more.

Great buy for the price. It comes with everything you need to get cooking right out of the Box. I had a Toaster Oven I've had for 40 years and still worked great a Black and Decker, only issue is the grease built up over time and it caught on fire because I didn't maintain it after about 30 years. I got this thing and its loaded with great settings for Air FRY, Super Fry, Bake and dehydrate. I give my service dog chicken jerky I make at home in my other dehydrator, but I'm switching to this because its faster and I like that I can see while it's cooking. Super easy to use and has a nice big knob for adjustment. They even give you a tool to remove the hot tray so you don't burn your fingers and it's big enough to get in and clean very good. I've only had it 2 days but I'm not gonna jinx myself and say it should last a long time. Over all I am VERY happy with it. I made a chicken breast on Air Fry and it only took 15 min at 350 and came out nice and tender.

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! UPDATE 07/28/2025: We've used this air fryer now for several weeks. First, I really do like the appearance of this device over a larger stainless air fryer I bought before this one. I really like the technical aspects of this air fryer. I saw on previous versions of this same fryer people complained about the lack of temperature controls because each step up in temperature on prior versions was in 10 degree increments. My device steps up in 5 degree increments. Also, people complained about the obnoxiously loud beeper that sounds when your food is done. This device has an appropriately loud beeper that doesn't both me at all. And though my prior air fryer was of the basket variety and my wife still preferred that format, this one has three heavier wire shelves that work fine. Cleaning is a little more difficult and while I normally hand wash our dishware, so far with a little presoak I've been able to with elbow grease get these clean. The only disappointment I've had so far is with the evenness of the temperature distribution. I wrongly assumed that the fans would more evenly distribute the temperature so flipping food wouldn't be required as much. But this cooks hot on one side more than the other, so you do have to pay attention when cooking and flip at least once through the cooking cycle. And by the way, with three racks I have at least double the space to cook things as I had with the old basket style fryer. If in the future I need to replace this device, I'd definitely consider this one...

Nice. Works as advertised. Lots of cooking options, and it includes a dehydrator. I didn't realize that you have to unplug the air fryer after each use (workable but a little inconvenient).

This air fryer has been a great addition to our kitchen and gets used regularly. I really like the multiple racks and layers, which make it easy to cook more than one item at a time without crowding. The digital touch screen is simple to use, and switching between air fry, bake, and other functions is very straightforward. It heats evenly and produces consistent results, whether I’m making snacks or full meals. The larger capacity is especially helpful for families or meal prep. Overall, this is a very versatile appliance that has worked well for our everyday cooking needs.

Ok, I try not to leave bad reviews because I feel bad. I understand that a product is created by people and people are relying on that product so I hate to feel that any negativity I may have experienced would reflect poorly on that product and it's origins. I'm going to preface this by saying maybe for other households, this might be a mighty little appliance. It didn't do for me. I was looking for something to replace my air fryer and my convection toaster oven, but I needed it to be something that would function at least 85% as well for both appliances. The good points - It's cute. It's very streamlined, almost like a little space capsule. Doesn't have a large footprint on the counter; it's so shiny and black and came with all of its accessories all perfectly packaged. And for the record, I did not notice any gas off odors while cooking. I won't say that was any issue for me. No problems there. So I took everything out and washed/prepped it for my first use (and the only one as it would turn out). I wanted to make fries. Now I'm a french fry fanatic. I mean, I love them. Everyone in my life knows that the key to my heart is french fries. Co-workers need some assistance at work? Sure, if you want to return the favor...bring me some fries. I don't need Starbucks man, carb me up! So here I am; I figure, what's easier to do than frozen fries. I put some in all the top 2 layers and put 2 frozen beef patties on the bottom layer. Well, I'll be darned if that thing took forever to cook the food. I mean it; it was like 3 cycles of 20 minutes each. I could not figure what was wrong. It was hot; it's not like it didn't get hot. I rotated the trays; I shuffled things around It wasn't overfilled although on that note, I don't think it was what I would consider a family size oven. Of course, I'm not comparing it to a standard oven, it just seemed like the usable space inside was not enough to accommodate the amount of food needed to feed more than 1-2 with ease. I'm not a large person; 5 feet tall and 100 pounds soaking wet; my husband is 6 feet and tipping the scales at 220 so I guess the 2 of us is like 3 average-ish people. If we had kids, somebody was not going to get fed. So after all that trying and shuffling and watching and waiting, in the end; it suddenly went over the threshold for yumability in a heartbeat. I figured I'd go all out and toast the buns; it worked only nominally better. Not the best toasting, that also took some finagling. Maybe it wasn't the machine, maybe it was me; it sensed my doubt and could not live up to my hopes and dreams. Well, it was a very sad dinner that we had that night with the dried out fries and the dried out burgers. I was bitter. And then I had to wash those trays. Nope; that was not fun. I soaked them and scrubbed them with a brush and got them somehow clean again, but I had already come to the conclusion that our short relationship had come to an end. I sent it packing the next morning; I hadn't even had it a whole 24 hours. I will give you that I did not test out it's other functions. But if it don't air fry and toast well for me; then it's got to go. I won't say don't give it a try yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. I've sometimes ready glowing reviews for things that I thought was madness and sometimes took a chance on items that didn't get great reviews for which the product performed like a rock star. Maybe I didn't give it enough tries. I can't say because that moment has passed. I did end up buying a different brand's air fryer convection oven grill appliance and I gotta say I love it. Shop around, read the reviews, decide for yourself. Just throwing my thoughts out in the universe for absorption.

I use this air fryer oven way more than average. I bake in it, fried bacon and ham, make jerky, toast sandwiches, etc etc. I'm always leery of ordering online because you never really know what you're going to get. This unit has become an absolute treasure in my kitchen and I have recommended it to others as well. A little hack for anyone that is in current ownership of one of these or is considering it, if you don't have a dishwasher don't try to scrub these racks without a pretreatment. This is not a fault of the unit but just the general nature of corrugated metal. What I do is soak them in near boiling water with a single tab of dishwasher detergent. I use Cascade Platinum Plus for about an hour and then I gently scrub it with a nylon brush. Months of built up grime just fell off. Of course if you have a dishwasher then you have nothing to worry about. It's easy to clean and even easier to control and cook with. ❤️

I have an air fryer, but an air fryer came up on my home screen for Amazon several days ago. I looked at this one out of curiosity, and saw the price, and did not give it a second thought. Then a few days later when I went on Amazon, it was in the continue shopping section of the home page. They time was 47 dollars, even though I had an air fryer I jumped on this because of the price being a third of the normal price. Anyway, I cooked a couple of New York strip with it, and it did well. Thanksgiving morning I got up, went in the kitchen to make me an espresso and I noticed an error code on my electric stove. I momentarily thought to myself how I was going to bake my turkey roast and dressing. Then I did a search on cooking turkey and stuffing/dressing in an air fryer, sure enough I got numerous results. So, this is what I did. I cooked my dressing and turkey in the air fryer. It all turned out well. I am happy I bought this fryer. I don't think my old fryer could have done any better. Tghe fryer also has a heavier cord on it than the old one also. The cord on the old fryer would always get warm when cooking, this one did not. I am happy with my 47 dollar air fryer. It was likely a pricing mistake, as the price is higher now. it would atill be a decent buy at the current price, but 47 dollars amkes it very worth the buy. The only issue with it is, is the touch pad, and the problem could just be my fingers, but it is not very sensitive to touch. All the trays slide in and out nicely, and I like the drip tray. the machine is fairly easy to clean, much better than the Co sori I have. The size of the air fryer is perfect for me being a single guy, probably big enough for cooking a meal for two people.
