Customer Ratings & Reviews

The 4.2 quart Bella Pro Series Air Fryer with Touchscreen has a black plastic body, with a stainless steel front panel, and is a very attractive small appliance that is stylish enough to leave out on your kitchen counter all the time. The cord is short at 32 inches, but should be more than sufficient on most kitchen counters and islands. The cord is not detachable and there is no provision for onboard storage of it. The manual makes note of the possibility of the non-skid feet on the appliance leaving marks on certain surfaces due to the plasticizers in the rubber pads, and suggest using “coasters” to place under the appliance. When the Bella air fryer is plugged in but not turned on, the power “button” on the touchscreen display constantly flashes on and off. The only reason I can see for this annoying (to me anyway) behavior is to coerce you to unplug the appliance when you aren’t using it like the manual suggests for you to do. The first couple of times you use the air fryer, it produces a hot-plastic odor that I found rather unpleasant, but this happens with virtually every new appliance that has a heating coil in it. In the bottom of the fry basket (more like a pull out drawer with a handle on it) there is a “crisper tray” which is basically a small grate made of sheet metal that has been stamped to make holes in it, small feet at the corners, and a small raised “handle” to aide in removing it from the basket. Some of the edges produced on this tray are sharp almost to the point that they might cut delicate, tender skin of some people. This tray also has small rubber tips that press onto the feet in the corners that help hold the tray in place inside the fry basket and also keep the tray from scratching the non-stick finish of the basket. I can see where it would be easy to dislodge one of these tips loose and lose it down the sink drain when washing the crisper tray - including an additional set of these would have been prudent. The touchscreen looks nice and works well without being overly complicated. There are eight pre-programmed settings, and manual controls for both time and temperature. The “plus” and “minus” buttons adjust the time setting by one-minute increments and the temperature setting by 5 degree increments. This is not as convenient as direct entry using a ten-key number pad, but works well and with a minimum of fuss. While the fryer is running the numerical display alternates between the temperature it is cooking at and a countdown of the time remaining in minutes and seconds. Air fryers are relatively simple machines with just a heating element and a fan to blow the hot air around the food. The details of directing the air flow around the food and the interface with which the user interacts are what separates the good from the bad with this kind of appliance. The Bella was good at the task of cooking food evenly and thoroughly, and making it palatable and pleasing in appearance and taste. The manual has a couple issues with either translation or proofreading as it looks like it might have been adapted from another air fryer in Sensio’s line of appliances. In one place when talking about cooking fresh vegetables, it states to cook not more than 1 & 1/2 cups maximum and in another place when speaking of the same topic of fresh vegetables, it states to cook no more than 3 cups at a time. This air fryer has a stated 4.2 quart capacity of the fry basket, but I doubt you would ever be able to make that quantity of any food as the instructions state to never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. This size air fryer is a perfect size for preparing items for 1 or 2 people. If you have a family of three or more to cook for, I would look at a version at least twice this size.

Our previous experience with an air fryer is one that was built into our microwave oven. We've never had a stand alone air fryer and so thought to give this one a shot. We are glad we did b/c it allowed us to realize what we had been missing, which is crispiness. According to my wife, the difference lies in the perforated plate at the bottom. Our combo appliance had a plate, but it was not perforated. This one has perforations which, I'm assuming, somehow allows more air and heat to circulate all around the food, allowing the food to get crispy during the air frying process. Whether this is correct or not, it is true that we can tell that this one produces excellent, crispy food. We've tried fries and nuggets so far and both did not disappoint. What we were not pleased with is the display. This is marketed as a touchscreen, but not many of the 'buttons' are actually buttons or, for that matter, touch enabled. They are more like display 'buttons' rather than actual buttons. So, realize that going into your potential purpose.

The Bella Pro Series – 4.2qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer – Stainless Steel performs well with its many functions. It prepares my food just as well as my traditional gas oven. Everything that my gas oven can do can be done better and quicker with my Bella Pro Series – 4.2qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer – Stainless Steel. I can Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Reheat and Keep Warm. I cooked some French fries with the Air Fryer function and they came out golden brown and crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. My food is cooked thoroughly and the meat drips its grease onto the Drip tray. Meat is juicier and not dried out as when cooking inside a gas oven. Meat cooks crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, when air frying. The time and temperature must be adjusted to get my food cooked perfectly. This air fryer can cook enough for a family meal. It cooks meat all the way through and maintains the tenderness and juiciness of meats air fried. The Bella Pro Series – 4.2qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer – Stainless Steel is a great additional cooking device for me to have for those times when a gas oven would not be mandatory.

Horrible! No instructions or any kind of manual to figure out how it works! Absolutely no literature included!

THIS THING DOES EVERYTHING,BAKES COOKIES,ROAST VEGGIES,TOAST MY BREAD ON AIR FRY OR BOIL,ROAST MEAT WITH VEGGIES IN,BOIL STEAKS PERFECT HARDLY USE STOVE OVEN/// AND SO EASY TO CLEAN,GREAT FRYER

I was surprised at how good this machine is, considering the price. It may not be quite as good as the more expensive machines, but it does what it is supposed to, even if the fries aren't quite as crisp as I expected. Easy to use and clean and doesn't take up much space. I'm pleased.

I love this little guy! It’s just me, so I didn’t need anything too big and this was perfect. It heats up quick and my food comes out perfect each time. It’s easy to clean and the different menu settings are convenient. I also love the color.

I love this air fryer!! Its been so handy to have and I use it daily. Its easy to clean, not overly large and easy to navigate. I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner!

I bought this as a birthday gift for my friend and she loves it!! She said that it heats up quickly, matches her appliances, works great, and fits well on her counter top.

Solid air fryer for the price. Easy to use controls. It is a bit on the small side which is fine if that’s what you need but don’t expect to reheat two pizza slices at the same time.

I’m very pleased with this air fryer. It is user friendly and easy to use. So far I have only used the air fryer setting. The food comes out nice and crispy.

Totally recommend if you have a small kitchen, it does the job very well on getting food crispy and cooked very well. Easy to control temperature and timer

It works great love it its so easy to clean..and the food is right on point every time... Glad i purchased it ..

This has been ideal for me. I'm just cooking for one, so I didn't need anything larger than this size, though I didn't want smaller, either. For me, this is the Goldilocks model...just right. And I wanted a square basket, which this also has. It runs quietly, does the job well, and I bought it on sale during Black Friday. It was a great deal and I'm very pleased with this purchase of the Bella 4.2 qt. air fryer.

Bought this Air Fryer when it was on sale. Works great. Really easy to use and clean. Good size.

This is great! I love it and will enjoy it a lot! I love how you can divide it and make 2 things at once.

Love this air fryer. Easy to use and clean. Wish i had purchased before. Perfect size for 3-4 people.
