Cute little air fryer

I finally found an air fryer that doesn’t take up too much counter space and will store in a kitchen cabinet. It’s the right size for one person and usually two. It’s a little tricky cooking for two when cooking 2 things at once like chicken strips and onion rings. The basket was too full and the air fryer kept shutting itself off until I rearranged the contents. But normally there is enough room for 2 servings.
There are options for broil, bake, roast, reheat and keep warm in addition to air frying. It comes with a good instruction manual that includes temperature and time requirements for a variety of foods. This was lacking in some other air fryers I tried.
The instructions say that half way through cooking the display changes to trn and beeps for 5 seconds as a reminder to turn or shake. The beep must be very quiet because I’ve yet to hear it. It works best for me to set the timer at half time and when the air fryer shuts off, turn the food and set the timer for the other half. It is important to shake and/or turn. Otherwise the food only gets crisp on one side. While getting used to it, it’s important to check the food periodically to make sure the set time isn’t too long.
I was initially frustrated with the digital display because if I set the time/temperature first and then realized I was on the wrong menu option (air fry, bake, broil, roast, reheat, keep warm), switching menu options cancelled the time/temp settings and I would have to start over. Just have to remember menu first and time/temperature second.

This is a pretty nice air fryer. My only issue is the size. It’s small so for bigger portions you would have to make several baskets full.
Also has a Prop 65 warning, which means it contains chemical which may cause cancer or other medical issues… just saying. I’m not using mine and will likely resell or donate.

Basic air fryer w/ digital controls
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Nice and small for cooks with limited counterspace. The unit is pretty basic, besides having digital controls. The display is big and easy to read. There are only controls to raise or lower the temperature, raise or lower the timer and a power button. As I stated, it's small and probably only good for single or couple meals. I chose beer battered frozen fish fillets and I was able to fit 3 filets on the grill. Mind you they are small and the air fryer I'm currently using has room for 5-6 fillets. This Bella Pro unit does a great job though, cooking the fish in 10 minutes at 390 degrees. I flipped the fillets about 6 minutes in and they came out golden brown and cooked through. It also claims to broil, roast and reheat with no oil or just a bit. I chose to use spray olive oil on the grate and the fish didn't stick...nice!
I'd recommend this air fryer, but only for singles. If you're a couple or have a larger group to feed, chose a large air fryer. Then again, if your kitchen is small and you don't mind cooking a few at a time, this unit may fill that need.

Efficiant Cooking

I enjoy cooking. Cooking usually requires planning when it comes to prepping sides with the main meal. I’m all about having everything being done at the same time. This usually applies when I am doing the main meal that usually has a fried/baked side accompanying it such as French fries or tater-tots. However, I’m not perfect with the timing because sometimes the fries in the oven will not have cooked all the way, or some other factor that requires me to leave them in the oven for several minutes longer. It’s annoying, to say the least.
I decided to take the chance with the Bella Pro Series Air Fryer. I had no idea how much time I would be saving in cook time because of an air fryer.
I enjoy chicken wings. In the past, I’ve bought the frozen chicken wings that you put in your oven and I endured their result of being cooked but not crispy as you get from restaurants. The lack of that crispy personality makes a difference when it comes to a chicken wing. When I got the Bella Pro, the very first thing I air-fried was a bag of chicken wings that I bought from the supermarket. I had my reservations as to whether or not the air fryer would make a difference. In twenty minutes, I had CRISPY edge chicken wings! Yes, CRISP! Much like the kind you enjoy at Wing Stop or Buffalo Wild Wings. I never thought it would be possible at home. I knew right then that a whole new world of cooking opportunities was before me with the Bella Pro air fryer.
Accessibility:
Operating the Bella air fryer isn’t overwhelming. It’s practically ready to go out of the box. The Bella Pro can Air Fry, Roast, and Broil foods. It can also reheat and keep the food warm if desired. The ability to keep the food warm is a welcomed option since unexpected delays can happen when cooking other dishes.
The touch screen has a sharp and clean display that responds properly to your interactions. The air fryer itself is not noisy as I expected it to be. The Bella Pro isn’t heavy or awkward. It can easily be stored in a cabinet or can be placed on the counter without taking up a lot of counter space.
Efficiency:
There’s no preheating with the Bella Pro. Place the food in the basket and then slide the basket into the base of the air fryer, and set it to whatever mode that is required. In the past, there were times where I wanted to prep fish and chips (frozen fish and fries) but the two foods have to be cooked at two separate temperatures which means that I was looking at 28 mins for the fish in the oven and then an additional 25 minutes for the fries to be baked in the oven. With the air fryer, I can bake the fish in the oven while cooking the fries in the air fryer. And the fries are crispy and cooked all the way through. None of those random, partially cooked fries that can deflate the enjoyment of the meal.
Another plus for the Bella Pro is that when you remove the basket to flip or shake food at the halfway mark (this is recommended), the Bella resumes the timer without you needing to remember where you left off. Once the cook timer is done, the Bella will shut down so you don’t have to worry about overcooking the food.
The clean up of the food basket and the circular crisping tray within it is easy. Nothing seems to stick to the interior. The surface of the Bella cleans easily with a damp cloth. If there was anything to complain about it would be the slight struggle I have when sliding the basket into the base from time to time. The basket occasionally resists sliding in and I have to angle the right side first and have the left side slide and click into place
Possibilities:
As I am new to the world of air frying, I am discovering so many recipes and YouTube videos that show you various ways you can use the air fryer for desserts, other breakfast foods like eggs, pancakes, biscuits, and entrees. You will be surprised as to what kind of dishes that can be made with an air fryer and how these recipes can expand the value of your dollar.
The Bella Pro is not only a time saver but it also brings food taste to life by thoroughly cooking them in a closed quarter.
I believe this device is a must have for any kitchen.

Too small in size

It says 2 qt in title and I thought it has a comparable size as a 2 qt pot. Well it certainly does not. I used it to make some fries, and it's only capable of making as little as a McDonald's large fries with full load, and probably less.
I'd recommend everyone to purchase a model that has at least 4 qt or more, unless you just need to use it for cooking 1 person's meal at a time

No power activation when basket tray is inserted

Poor defective product. The 2nd time using the air fryer, the power did not come on when inserting the tray basket into the unit. Like the other reviewers, had to jiggle the tray countless times to get it to "catch" and get the power activated. Do not buy this model, spend the extra money to get a better quality product.
Waited too long to contact Best Buy and missed the 15 day return window. Now dealing with the manufacturer warranty department, they want a video of the defect, sent and waiting for their response.

Worked pretty well for about the first month til right after the return period ended then it stopped detecting when the basket was in. It looks like the piece on the basket that slots in got worn down very quickly and can now only get it to work if i dont insert the basket all the way. I love the design though but im starting the question the overall build quality
