Bella Pro Series - 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer - Black Matte

If you’re looking for an entry level air fryer that is high-post on a budget…say Bella Pro! This the ideal buy for us bachelor and bachelorettes who want the most out of our meals. I’m enamored by the ergonomic design that takes up low-to-no space in my kitchen. With a matte black finish, no analog knobs and a 2-quart capacity it makes you wonder from first glance what type of meals could come from such a mysterious contraption. Hassle-free touchscreen digital display makes usage fool-proof with presets that don’t complicate meal preparations. Its powerful wattage and circular heat dynamics don’t require you to preheat…I throw my food in and GO. This air fryer will remind you to flip your food during cooking and alert you once the food is done. One minor setback: the alarm tone is not quite audible to be heard from a distance in other rooms—its tone is subdued while the unit is cooking. This raises a concern coming from the Pro Series line. However, fish, chicken and other foods come out juicy and crispy to the taste…every time! Not to mention easy clean up. I brag to my friends who don’t own an air fryer about the impressive performance with an amenable price tag. NO regrets if you buy this as housewarming gift or ridding yourself of guilt for eating your favorite fried foods.

This was my 1st air fryer. I did a little research and this thing really slaves it. Everything you cook and it comes out fresh and juicy. It doesn't matter what it is even if you're reheating. It's great if you're a single person or even a couple because it's just large enough for that period the tip is to put about a quarter of an inch of water in the bottom of the cup. Is the moisture from the water literally helps keep meat Vegetables Fresh and juicy. I would recommend us to anyone who doesn't have to cook for a lot of people and like stings that are fast with no splash of Grease all over everything. And even better it's easy to clean

I’m in love with this product it does multiple cook settings cooks the food very quick and it doesn’t take up counter space. The only thing that I wasn’t a bit happy about is the fact that the bowl part that you remove and place back into the fryer at the bottom of the inside of it the paint is already bubbling and it looks as if a few more washes will end up chipping away the paint which will then probably cause that part to rust but other then that this appliance is amazing

It’s smaller than I thought it would be but it works. My son broke my other one so this was $20 on Black Friday. It works well just a bit small. Like a baby air fryer, I guess I didn’t see the part that read “2 quarts” Great for single people, I would think.

I've made so many dishes in this AWESOME MACHINE!!! It's convenient, quick & keeps my food full of flavor with a fabulous crisp. I love cooking steaks in it.

I have not used it yet to see what I think about it. I hope to get good use out of it and good results of good tasting oil free food that doesn’t require deep fryer to cook it. I hope to eat healthy food when I use it to cook what I wanna cook in it.

I LIKE A LOT THE PRODUCT FOR MY TASTE IS EXCELLENT AND AT A GOOD PRICE 100% RECOMMENDED

I’ve been using the Bella Pro Series Touchscreen Air Fryer for about a week now to fry, bake, and reheat. I feel as though I have a good understanding of the appliance after this short amount of time. This air fryer is the smallest one I have used to date – I have a 6.5qt Ninja and a 3.5qt Bella Pro Series manual air fryer. The way I have used it the sizes boil down like this – 6.5qt works for 4-5 people, 3.5qt works for 2-3 people, and the 2qt is a 1-2 person capacity. This all depends on what you are cooking, but that’s basically how I have used them. Just for me – the 2qt is perfect. I made nachos a couple of times with it, and the 2qt made a perfectly sized plate of nachos for a solo person. This Bella air fryer uses a touchscreen for the interface. The touchscreen menu lets you select different cook types (fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and keep warm), adjust time, and temperature. The touchscreen itself is fairly responsive and easy to use. The screen lights up only when the basket is installed – this is a part of a safety feature that cuts power to the heating element and controls. The menu button switches between the presets. To power off the unit you have to press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the screen says “end.” I prefer the touchscreen over the manual interface – its just a lot more adjustable. They did a good job with it. As far as using the appliance – I had a pretty good experience. This isn’t my first time using a Bella air fryer, but I have to say that the experience this time around was better overall. For air frying I made nachos (as I mentioned), basket of fries, and some of those frozen chicken cordon bleu for an easy dinner one night. Cook time for the nachos was only 3-4 min and they came out great. It takes a little fiddling to get it out of the basket, but by the second batch I had it down. Fries came out great – I only made enough for myself so it was just a shallow layer, and I tossed them partway through. The cooker does notify you to turn the food if you have a long enough cook time. The cordon bleu was supposed to take 25-30min in an over, but on the air fryer setting it took about 15. So its decently faster cook speeds than an oven, which is what I would hope for. I also used it to reheat leftover chicken tenders, and toasted raviolis. The difference between the presets is just a lower default temperature (most settings are 400° - this one is 250°). I use the air fry setting on one tender and then reheat on another – the air fry one got the breading a little crispier, but it also dried it out a bit more. The toasted rav’s were pretty much the same, so it’s really up to you. Honestly my only criticism of the machine is the presets themselves. They don’t really change the operation of the machine all that much. They are just default settings for temp and time. They have set min/max temp and max duration for each one, but that isn’t what I had hoped for. I was hoping the settings would adjust the fan speed – like for the broil setting the fan isn’t needed. I would liken these presets to the popcorn button on your microwave – don’t trust them to be perfect and always check your food until you are familiar with how fast it cooks. Overall I liked the machine. The presets didn’t do as much for me as I would have hoped, but the temp control and digital timer were a definite plus. The 2qt size is really space efficient, and would be perfect for the solo person or couple. I would recommend a larger capacity air fryer if you plan to cook for 4 or more.
