Chefman Air Fryer 8 Qt | TurboFry® 4-in-1 with 450°F Hi-Fry Option for Crispier Results | Bake, Dehydrate, Frozen | XL Nonstick Dishwasher-Safe Basket | Stainless Steel

I was looking for an air fryer, something at least mid-range, and this one really stood out, while I didn't find many reviews outside of just Amazon, what I did see was largely positive. Its been less than a week, but I'm happy I bought this, especially the luck of it going on sale. The air fryer has a large basket capacity, yesterday I cooked 3 thick Angus beef patties at once, they all cooked through well done and were very good, I did make an extra for my dog, who was very excited for her burger. With what meats I've had in the kitchen, everything has been great in the air fryer from the burgers to a can of maple Spam, to some spicy hot links. I'll have to stock up on frozen snacks and such next time at the store, I do miss fried steak fingers on an air fryer. Also, the machine is extremely easy to use, the touch screen is simple with its presets, and hand washing the basket is easy, get some dish soap and a paper towel, and it'll be spotless in no time, or buy some air fryer filters and have significantly less necessary cleaning up. I also like that this air fryer is powerful, it gets going quickly, you don't need to wait to preheat, but you can anyway, on the presets, you can get things done with no fuss, like the burgers, press the meat preset, flip halfway through, and when the timer is near done, you have perfectly cooked through meat that doesn't lose any of the juices.

This review will not be complete because I have not yet cooked with the air fryer. I bought it to replace the one I have struggled with for years which frankly did more things than I needed and took a lot of time and energy to figure it out. If I want toast, I'll use my toaster. For the price I paid for that machine. I didn't expect the trays that came with it to react to the food and look disgusting and battered after one or two uses and the company would do nothing about it. I have a lot of appliances by that company, and I am slowly finding out that brand name does not mean good customer service or an exemplary machine. It was not the greatest device as for the price and brand name. I expected a lot better. This new air fryer is very sturdy looking and came well packed on time. I watched it as directed and I'm waiting to order some food that I can cook in it. I have read the manual which is very straightforward and it seems that this will be exactly what I wanted: a sturdy uncomplicated machine that will hold a whole small chicken. Is that too much to ask? It is very attractive , sleek, and does not take up a lot of counter space. The basket slides in and out easily and it will be interesting to see how easy the machine works and how well it cooks the food. Stay tuned. THIS is a good, Basic machine that does exactly what you tell it to do without all the fancy trappings that I don't need. I followed the instructions for chicken wings, and they turned out perfect. Once the machine cooled down, it was very easy to wash out the basket. It takes up much less room on my counter yet the basket capacity is larger and I can put a whole Cornish hen in it. This is obviously the appliance for me, and I am very pleased with it so far.

I’ve been using this air fryer regularly for about 4 years, and it finally stopped working. Honestly, I can’t complain too much four years of consistent use feels like I got my money’s worth. It handled everything from fries and wings to reheating leftovers and quick meals, and it definitely made cooking easier and faster. Over time, it showed normal wear, but performance stayed solid until recently when it just wouldn’t turn on anymore. No major issues before that, which says a lot about its durability. Overall, this air fryer did its job well and lasted longer than I expected. Since it served me for years, I’ll be buying another air fryer to replace it probably even the same brand if available. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable kitchen appliance.

Loving this air fryer! My ladyfriend and I have never been a "cooks," but with this I can make flawless chicken breast for 2 in about 20 minutes! Hamburger, (make them small, but make as many as you can fit onto the rack - bake with a shake in 15! The french fries in 15 minutes are to die for! Crunchy, crispy and hot and not dried out at all! Yummy for me and my honey, for watching Dateline curled up on the couch! Unit is small and unobtrusive in our already Munchkin-land kitchen. The fryer is lightweight, but not cheap. It is versatile, I can create just about anything in it and create the most delicious, but low-key smells in the house! The kind that give you that "coming home" feeling when you walk in the door. There's only the tiniest trace of heat emits from the fan in the back. Quiet, and easy to clean. Need I say more? This this is a must-have for year-around kind-of-device!

I love this. My first stand alone air fryer and im impressed....with one detail however. The unit has a long delay shutting down. Either you need to unplug it or allow it to shut down on its own after a few minutes. I asked AI about it in the Q&A box. I suggest checking it out prior to buying. Its personally not an issue for me but im being fully candid so that if this problem worsens I will use this post as verification of the issue so that the manufacturer or Amazon will remedy any issue. Again...it doesn't bother me...but just use your own discretion. I know its a lengthy explanation but it doesn't take away from the satisfaction of using this fryer. I do love it...thats why I give 4 stars

Be bought this to replace a ninja foodie that the touch controls had stopped working on. This unit is easy to use. Heats up quick and cooks fast. It has enough capacity to cook for two or more people at one time. Easy to clean because the whole draw and basket are dishwasher safe.

This is my 2nd air fryer. The first one I used only twice and gave it away. That was 3 years ago and since then I wasn't motivated to have an air fryer. I became interested again when a friend mentioned to me how good her whole chicken came out of her Ninja air fryer. I'm a fan of roasted whole chicken. I decided to research the different brands like Ninja and Cosori. I wasn't willing to spend too much money in case I ended up not liking the idea, again of using an air fryer. I'm not a gadget person. I wanted one that would roast a whole chicken and even a pork shoulder. Therefore, I didn't need the double drawer kind. Also, I have a small kitchen and needed one that didn't take up too much space. After reading the reviews of this Chefman, I was impressed, so I ordered it. Now that I have it I'm more than impressed. It's FANTASTIC! I have not made the chicken or pork shoulder yet. But, I have made pork chops, steak fajitas with the veggies together, eggs, shrimp and grilled cheese. I love it! The taste is wonderful. It browns to perfection. It hardly makes any noise. There is no smoke and no strange smell. I haven't used liners yet but it cleans easily. I wash it by hand and nothing really sticks. You can use any type of pans you use in a regular conventional oven and also the Pyrex glass type. The inside of the drawer is about 9", therefore you can use pans and molds as large as 8". I used one to make scrambled eggs. I have discovered that with this air fryer you only need this item to wash. While with pots and pans on the stove, you would need to wash them anyway, but besides that you also need to clean the stove. I keep my sandwich presser on top but remove it when using either one. This air fryer is big enough but doesn't take a lot of space. Make sure you are aware of the dimensions and measure your space. This takes less space than the toaster oven I had there before. This air fryer is fantastic! It's convenient with a great performance. I love it! I highly recommend 100%.

Made my first Air Flyer item. Chicken wings were frozen when I put them in for 19 minutes since we like them Crispy. Turned out excellent. Easy to use and cooked very well. Crispy skin with moist meat is very nice. They seemed hotter than using an oven. Will be using this often. We used the 8qt Chefman since I wanted something with extra room. If you are thinking about an Air Fryer order it today. I was so excited to try them I ate half a wing before taking the photo.
