I am thrilled with my purchase of the Bella Pro Series air fryer! This air fryer is simply the best thing I have ever used. Its black design adds a sleek touch to my kitchen and its 4.2 quart capacity is perfect for preparing meals for the whole family.
What impressed me the most was how easy it is to use - just set the timer and temperature, and you're done! Plus, the end result is incredible: food that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without the need for oil!
Plus, its compact size makes it easy to store when not in use - I can't imagine my life without this air fryer anymore!
I would recommend the Bella Pro Series Air Fryer to anyone who is looking for a healthier way to cook without sacrificing flavor. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I. I can't wait to try new recipes and enjoy delicious meals with this amazing air fryer!

I purchased this at a TRULY great price during a one day sale at Best Buy to give as a Christmas gift for an elderly friend whose air fryer was loaned out and never returned.
I had previously purchased the Bella 2 quart air fryer and I LOVE IT and find it so practically and SO easy to use, with GREAT results.

It doesn't get used much, but it has never disappointed, especially because it was on sale for $20. If using parchment paper to line the basket, just make sure the paper doesn't protrude above the top of the basket and get close to the heating element that's right over the top of the basket. The paper didn't burn, as the maximum temperature of the fryer is lower than the kindling point, but it did char where it touched the heating element.

Easy to use Analog dials & a breeze to clean up. After buying my 2 qt, decided to buy 2 larger ones (4 qt) for family members in college and they love them!. Boy got blue and girl the gray. They've already cooked steaks and boy loves the jalapeno poppers, bacon, eggs!. Their friends are also excited about this air fryer. So glad I got them.

Awesome price. Works as it should. Easy to use. my 12 year old son uses it all the time and loves it. What's even more impressive is my 73 year old mother figured out how to operate without me having to show her lol.

Had been thinking about an Air Fryer, and there was an amazing sale on this one so had nothing to lose. Very happy with the purchase. So far have made Sweet Potato Fries, Yuca Fries, Hush Puppies,Air Fried spiced squash and roasted new potatoes. Everything came out good, but the Sweet Potato fries were not quite as crispy as I would have liked. The Roasted Potatoes were PERFECT. Size is just about right, but definitely have to work in batches for best results. Analog controls are fine. Only wish there was a way to shut it off without waiting for the timer to wind down. (It shuts off when the basket is removed, so no big deal there). Easy to clean up even with drizzling a lot of oil on the food. For the absurdly low price I paid on sale, it was tremendous value. At full price, it still gives you another kitchen tool to do a quick fry-up without the mess of a deep-fryer.

I wanted something small and really cheap, and this fit the bill. Two problems: 1) there's a pin switch somewhere inside that detects when the basket is installed. Sometimes that pin switch doesn't work when the air fryer is cold, even if the basket is fully seated. I have to physically push the top of the air fryer down in the first 3 minutes in order to get pin switch to make and the fryer to actually run. 2) The timer is a simple mechanical twist knob. It goes all the way to 60 minutes. There is no way on God's green earth I'm going to airfry anything for 60 minutes. Instead, I wish the timer went from zero to 20 and I wish it had bigger indexing between all the different numbers so I could tell a meaningful difference between 10 minutes and 12 minutes on the dial.
Look, I paid 20 bucks for this thing and I've gotten $20 worth of value out of it. I'm happy, but I won't lie, it's a little janky.

I bought this air fryer on the Deal of the Day to see if I'd like it. It sat around for quite a while before I did. I've made chicken nuggets and french fries in it so far and they're great. I'll probably use it more now.
That said, there's one thing I DON'T like about it ... the mechanical timer. The escutcheon plate is hard to read as is the tick mark on the timer knob. Making it worse, IF you go too far, you can't turn the time back down ... you have to let it run its course. I had to turn the temp all the way down to wait for it to run down when I took the food out early. Models with a digital timer are a better way to go. I had to use a flashlight pointed at the dial to see what I was doing. NOT a good design.
I bought this unit as a test and at a great price so I can't complain too loud. I liked it enough that I bought another smaller 3 qt version for my summer home. But if I was going to seriously use one of these more, I'd pop for the digital version

Absolutely amazing but for my elderly mum, not complicated, easy to use, fits nicely on counter and is very appealing to the eye. Price point was excellent for an air fryer starting point. Highly recommend for dorm rooms or retirement residences!!!

I’ve heard my friends wax poetic about air fryers for years people I trust have told me that they love their air fryer. Let’s just say I’d heard a lot about air fryers. I thought they were not for me because of the word fry. I actually thought they were fryers. Because I’m a Totaltech member or Best Buy plus whatever it’s called now they had a special deal one day for this product like 5999 down to 1799. I thought you know it for 18 bucks even if I hate it I can donate it to Goodwill or something. So I get home and actually read the instructions and I realize there’s no oil involved at all and I started cooking it I’ll put chicken pot pie in the microwave for a few minutes. Do you know loosen the frozen part up and then just put it in the air fryer for the next five or six and it’s cooked to perfection I do salmon steaks in there. I do fish sticks so bottom line at the price. It’s at now. I think it’s on a clearance price is well worth buying, especially if you’ve never used an air fryer before which I had not it does have the timer is the tick tick tick tick tick timer and the setting of the temperature is by a wheel that you spin very manual very analog very good for me old man perfect so I love it. That’s all I can tell you.

This is one of those things you think you can do without...and yes you can...but why would you, especially when on sale is around $34? One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to cooking, is cleaning the stove. Well..this thing solved my problem. I just wash the basket in the sink . OHHH. I was about to forget. An even bigger advantage of using it, is that you take it out the door and the house does not smell like garlic all night. Put it on your porch or balcony balcony,..and enjoy your clean smelling home and a very nice dinner.

I wanted an analog air fryer to give to my parents who don't want to deal with a touchscreen. I like that this is small and actually looks good on the counter. I think the newer version of this looks even better, the 3 qt with the silver knob. It's a good size for two people or a single person. It's hard to get a precise time with the knob, but in my experience with using air fryers, opening the basket and using a thermometer to check the temp of the food is more important than the timer anyway. You do have to wait for the timer to tick down on its own instead of being able to turn it off immediately when done. It' s much easier to wash than my huge 8 qt air fryer where the basket is too big to even fit in the sink.
