NutriChef PKAIRFR48.5 Air Fryer, Infrared Convection, Halogen Oven Countertop, Cooking, Stainless Steel, 13 Quart 1200W, Prepare Quick Healthy Meals, for French Fries & Chips (White), One Size

I love it. I rarely use my oven. Works as well as the air fryer but you can see the progress.

Bottom line: I absolutely LOVE this gadget!Before purchasing this, I'd been in the market for an air fryer for quite some time (upwards of 4 or 5 months). With so many out there, choosing one almost became a job! Luckily, I can now stop looking.This is so much more than an air fryer, which is a major plus since many similar products don't have the features that this product has. I can cook whole chickens, fry fish and chips, and I can even steam my veggies. Having all of these options in one at this price is great. I’ve been able to stop using several other of my kitchen gadgets (and put them away) since this does everything that those do – all in one.The air fryer is packaged very well, which I’m thankful for because I’ve received countless broken items due to poor packaging. It arrived in 2 boxes – an outer shipping box and the product box. The lid was placed on top of the glass cooking bowl, surrounded by Styrofoam. Several things were placed inside of the cooking bowl: food racks (3), tongs, a power cord and the manual.First, it is very high quality. The glass bowl is very heavy, sturdy and well made. The cooker is actually a LOT bigger than I imagined it would be, but I can’t complain about that at all. I love the fact that I have so much room to cook pretty much whatever I would like, and even multiple items.Secondly, it is very easy to operate. The controls are located on top of the lid, and there aren’t a ton of buttons and/or knobs (there are two – time & temperature) that would drive one mad, so you can set it rather quickly and easily. There are two lights on the lid – a red power light and a green light that illuminates when the oven is cooking. The lid has a handle on it with a little button that you press to shut it all the way down, which initiates cooking. Listed on the lid are 7 types of food, the temperature that they should be cooked at, and the amount of time needed to cook them. That little grid is actually very handy, and I definitely appreciate it being there.While using the air fryer, it doesn’t get hot in my home, and that is a key advantage for me. I love baking my food, but I really despise how hot the regular oven makes my home. It does make a little noise while cooking, but it is very tolerable. The halogen lamp that comes on while the oven is cooking is a show for my kids – they absolutely love it. I turn the lights off and it lights up the whole kitchen. That’s kind of random, but it brings me to say that the lamp is powerful. The oven cooks evenly and quickly, but when cooking a whole chicken, I cooked it at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time simply because that’s my preference. The chicken looked beautiful. The cleanup was a breeze! Since the chicken was cooked on one of the metal racks, that was really the only thing that took a little elbow grease, and that was simply ensuring that nothing was stuck in any of the little nooks and crannies. Washing the cooking bowl took very little effort, and the lid was easily clean with a damp cloth.My only issue with this product doesn’t pertain to the product itself, but to the manual. It is awfully thin and lacks what one would think is imperative information about operating the machine. The metal “ring thing” (which I found out is an “extender” from my research) confused me like nothing I’ve seen in a while. In several pictures, it was located on the top of the fryer (the lid rested on it), and in several other pictures, the ring was located at the bottom of the glass cooking bowl (which is where it was when it came out of the box). I searched the manual to find out what it was and what it was used for, but there was absolutely nothing in the manual about it. I was honestly taken aback by this. This is what prompted me to begin my research. There are numerous spelling and grammar errors (which is really no big deal). Since I am rating the product, not the manual, I cannot take away any stars for this, nor does this issue take away from the versatility, convenience and all around awesomeness of the product. This issue has caused me to spend a bit of time online searching for videos or articles of it being utilized, but I don’t mind it very much because I’ve learned a lot of new things about the fryer.I 100% recommend this product and I look forward to experimenting with it for a very long time to come.

I bought this to replace my dual ninja because of how disgusting it gets in places where you CAN’T CLEAN but also for the toxic reasons I keep hearing about. So far, I have only tried to make a quesadilla and some chicken strips and the chicken strips turned out perfect as with any air fryer, it’s going to dry out your food. I don’t know how anyone would make a steak or chicken in ANY air fryer but maybe I’m just a dunce ANYWAY bought it for the reason I use an air fryer in the first place and so far it’s going great

“YUMM!” That would be the single word. If it were a two word review it would be, “Yumm! EASY!”I have been skeptical about “air fryers” since they became the next big thing. Reviews are all over the place from “manna from heaven” to “disgusting mess”. I love good fried food – even though I’m told it is so bad for me. (I’m not totally convinced.) For those reasons, I have passed on the air fryers until now.I was convinced to give it a try by my aunt who loves hers. She especially likes it for making “fried” sweet potatoes. Since she is an exceptional cook for other things, I decided to give “air frying” a shotMy skepticism was misplaced. I’m truly impressed with this appliance. I can’t speak for other units but this one works great. While fried potatoes are not “exactly” like their oil cooked cousins, they are, in fact, crispy and very tasty without a big pot of hot oil to deal with afterward. As a welcomed fact, they also require much less attention on my part. I can coat and season them, put them in, turn them once then come back when they are ready to eat. Very convenient!I cooked a chicken like the picture shows. Wow! It cooked in about 45 minutes and the skin was crispy but the inside was very moist and tender. It was delicious!The only two down-sides I see right now is that the “booklet” that comes with it has almost no information on recipes and “how to” cook various foods. That left me looking on-line for recipes. Also, since it cooks with a special light bulb, it’s very bright when cooking. It is somewhat like cooking with the Bat Signal! <G> However, since it isn’t totally enclosed, it will cook larger batches of food than other “air fryers”. So, not a bad trade-off.Once I get to the store I’ll have to get some sweet potatoes so I can give them a try and tell my aunt how good they are. At 84 she loves to pass along cooking secrets to us “young uns”. I make a killer pie crust now. <G>

Saw it on TT thought this is amazing! I need a bird safe air fryer. All the TT vids made it sound like it was an ACTUAL air fryer. Spoiler Alert! It’s NOT. It has a heat lamp at the top that doesn’t get hot enough & is permanently mounted to the lid so you can never truly wash the lid. The dials are old and antiquated with a ticking timer you can’t freely move. If you set it for an hour but only cook for 45 minutes you’ll get 15 minutes of ticking followed by a ding. Temperature is in Celsius degrees…. Not a big deal but annoying. Needless to say I have put it back in the box & will be looking for someone to give it to. There is no fan circulating heat. Just a heat lamp that takes 3 x as long to cook something as my REAL air fryer.DON’T GET GOT TOO!!
