CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Convection Oven, 17 Touch Screen Presets Fry, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, XL 10L Family Size, Auto Shutoff, Large…

This is one of the best air fryers and dehydrators I’ve used. I have owned about 4 accumulatively and experienced many from friends and family. It’s exceptionally quiet, heats up quickly, and distributes heat very evenly, delivering consistently good results. The intuitive design and easy-to-clean surfaces add to its appeal, and the price is unbeatable for the quality.

The dehydrator function is equally impressive, maintaining vibrant colors and clean flavors. With other brands, I’ve experienced foods turning overly dark or black due to poor heat distribution, which leads to discoloration and overheating.

The only downside is cleaning the crumbs that fall into the opening at the bottom of the door. Although the manual says the door can be removed for separate washing, it’s extremely difficult to do so without feeling like something might break.

This is my first air fryer, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially that I already have a very good convection oven range, but I wanted something smaller that I don’t need to pre-heat and consumed less energy for smaller portions.

This fryer works great, and the results are also far superior! For example, sweet potato fries are always difficult get get crispy without going dry or burning in a convection oven, and in this air fryer, it was super easy to get top results. I appreciated being able to watch the food doneness with the window and integrated light. Garlic bread results are out of this world, not anything like I’d get with a convection or on broil, I’m not sure why, but I suspect the hot air also fries a bit the butter and gives it an delicious nutty taste. I also tried reheated pizza, this needed a few tries, and I got the best results by preheating the pizza slice in the microwave first to get it nicely warm/hot, and then a quick 5 minutes in the air fryer to get a very nice crispy crust. You really need to have a bit of oil on the food; I tried spring rolls without oil and the results were not great at all, but just a brush of oil makes the difference.

Although there are multiple trays, I found that two trays with sparsely spread out food items what the max it could take and still give good results. Otherwise the lower trays don’t get enough heat and don’t fry at the same speed.

The mesh trays feel a bit thin and are occasionally difficult to slide in when the oven is cold, but they work very well and surprisingly very easy to clean despite not being coated. I believe they’re easy to clean because the food cooks from the hot air moving around instead of heating the tray. In all cases, I get to clean them with a sponge, whereas in my convection oven my air fryer trays often got super sticky and very hard to clean, despite being coated. All in all, I think these trays are perfect for this oven, and I’m hoping they will last well.

I’m not sure how well the oven itself will last, I’ve read reviews that units failed quickly. In my case, I’m not seeing any sign that it would break down any time soon. It looks well built, runs quietly, and the touch controls are entirely electronic so they shouldn’t fail. There’s a halogen lamp inside the oven for lighting the food, it looks like replacing it would require disassembly, but since halogen lamps last a long time and work great at high temperatures, I’m not too worried at this point.

All in all, I’m very happy with this air fryer, and crossing my fingers that it will wear well!

We originally bought this air fryer in June 2023. Just a few days ago it all of sudden just stopped working after more than a year of regular use and no issues. We reached out to chefman customer services to see what our options were. They requested a video showing that it wasn’t working. After submitting the requested info and video they are sending a replacement fryer.

I purchased for my grandchildren to prepare after-school snacks. It’s easy to use, cooks well, stable and the perfect size for them to utilize independently.

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!
