Customer Ratings & Reviews

i have used this air fryer a couple times now, and love it! its a lot better and more “advanced” than the one i’ve had before from Sam’s Club, and holds a good amount of food in the basket! pretty simple to clean, and i love that there’s so many features/buttons! only spent about $50 on it since it was on sale, and i’d say it was worth the purchase! it does kind of give off a plastic-y smell while it’s being used, but i assume that’ll wear off eventually.

It has been a fun adventure to experiment with this air fryer. One of the best uses has been for roasted brussels sprouts, see photo. Simply chop in half, toss with a little oil, lightly salt, throw in the basket (after using the "P" preheat function), and then touch the "Fish" setting button. Half way through, pull out the basket and 'scoop' it in the air to toss around the contents, and return it to the unit to continue cooking. (The fan and timer stop when you pull out the basket to check the food.) When it beeps complete (10 mins, I think), you have deliciously roasted veggies that make any meal fancy. Washing the basket and the rack is easy, nonstick surface works well. I have not gotten the hang of the different preset buttons, so I often just 'start' it and then keep checking. Some of the preset settings use a lower temp, which is better for some foods. Only thing that did not work well was cheese-filled breadsticks cooked from frozen. The middle was still cold when the outside was getting too crispy. Foods are tending to work better when thawed at least a little, but frozen fries and smaller items still come out crispy and hot in the middle. We reheated some thin crust (take-out) pizza, and the crust was better reheated than when it was fresh from the box. There are tons of air fryer recipes and tips online, I'd suggest using them. I have not regretted this purchase at all, it's great for re-crisping and reheating. And I would not want anything less than this 8qt basket size, otherwise it would be way too small. Consider that when choosing a model. 8qt sounds like a lot, but if reheating pizza for example, food sits on the rack in the bottom of the basket and this one can accommodate 2-3 pieces of take out (PapaJohn's-type) pizza at a time. One 4-minute cycle of the "P" preheat button heats and crisps slices of pizza perfectly. If the pizza is particularly cold, it might take part of a second preheat cycle, but watch it closely to avoid burning the cheese or toppings such as pepperoni. Great to reheat/re-crisp things like biscuits, when microwaving them is a dud. Be aware that it does take a fair amount of counter space, and you need it clear in front of the basket to pull it in and out, but I think it's worth it. This is a higher priced unit, but it was on a great sale here. My mom had a smaller one (3 qt, perhaps?), and it was so tiny it wasn't worth the effort to cook such a small amount for 2 adults. She found the Paula Dean air fryer book to be useful.

I own a smaller Chefman 3.6 Qt that I bought a month before this one which proved the concept of air fryers for me. I still use the smaller one often for smaller jobs/side dishes but it was too small much of the time cooking for 2 or 3 people. This unit is large and very smooth and effective in producing great results. Most air fryers work pretty well. The concept is so simple. It's basically a heating element that resembles an electric coil cooktop burner that sits above the food basket out of reach so you can't burn yourself and a very powerful fan above it. For me it comes down to the build quality and how smooth the basket slides in and out easily with a few clean fingers, and how easy it is to clean. This unit is superb. It's also easy to add or subtract heat and time during cooking which you'll do often when you want to tweak the process. I think it heats up pretty quickly for its size but I also pretty much always hit the "P" Preheat icon on the display after inserting the basket and it heats to 400F which takes 3 minutes. When you drop the food in the basket you get that brief sizzle and browning on the bottom of your food. Unlike grills and griddles, air fryers heat from the top so that's where browning is most effective, on the top side of the food. You'll give it a head start and shorten cooking time by preheating. One review mentions it's deeper but really no more surface space than the smaller 6 Qt Bella model. It does have a pretty deep basket area so I can see where the reviewer is coming from and that volume makes up the 8QT advertised capacity. When cooking large flat food like steaks, burgers, chops and fish steaks you want to keep the food to one layer in the bottom of the basket. Unfortunately that' surface area isn't a spec you see advertised. I can get 4 to 5 pretty large burgers and 20 to 25 chicken drumettes in one layer. When it comes to food that isn't flat or hardly flat, like brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, home fries and even regular fries, you can pile the food pretty deep and just give the basket a shake of the wrist a couple times part way through the cooking cycle and it will evenly brown throughout. It's a great device and I use it 5-6 days a week. If I could only have one small kitchen appliance between my sous vide, instant pot, wok, electric griddle, crockpot, "set it and forget it (dating myself) it would be this hands down. I love this thing.

I love the value for the capacity that you get. I hate that there is still a burn plastic smell after almost 2 months of using it. Overall an okay buy for the price I paid since it was a deal of the day sale. I love the size. Hope the smell goes away eventually. Hope it’s not harmful.

This thing is huge! This a one bad boy for the kitchen. Makes cooking so much easier and unlike other air fryers this one has preset options for different food. Heating the food way faster compared to other brand that I’ve used in the pass and easy to clean as well. I give this a 5 star hands down this air fryer is a beast and must have in the kitchen

Omg I’m so happy with this product I can make my food with no stress easy fast many options I’m in love this is something that you really really need specially when you trying to eat healthy so helpful

Love this air fryer! Cooks evenly and fast. Has lots of preset cooking options including a preheat. Large capacity. And you can change the time to add or subtract time while cooking. Super easy to clean, though I hand wash my basket and have not put it in the dishwasher.

This fryer is very well crafted and sustainable. It’s beautiful sitting on my kitchen counter. I cant wsit to use it. The basket is very large, so i can place nice amounts of food in it. I love how round it is. It’s definitely a beauty.

This air fryer is exactly what i need for my family of 7. Its a lot bigger than expected! The settings and touch screen seem to work just fine. Its not hard to figure out either ! My last air fyer went out after 2 years and it was much smaller.tgis one was on sale a week later ! I got this one for the same price. Maybe 10 dollars more, i made sure to get the warranty .

This is ours second fryer from Bella Pro line, It is very large and holds lots of food, and so far has cooked everything well. The control panel is pretty intuitive, so easy to use. The bottom part that holds the food pulls out, and is supposed to be safe to clean on the top shelf of a dishwasher. But it is too tall for mine, so I have to hand wash it. Overall, I recommend it.

This is a great air fryer for the price honestly. I got it at $39.99 and it was an upgrade from the nuwave air fryer I had previously owned. The ease of use and cleaning is phenomenal. Would definitely recommend especially with the cleaning process it is super easy

The best gift I’ve ever purchased for myself. I use it almost on a daily basis and won’t ever be without one. I’ve purchased for myself, my daughter and my grandson. If I could, I would give it 10 stars.

I was impressed with the price so I bought four... One for myself and three for gifts. After using it I was very impressed. It matches our other appliances, it's easy to use, and has way more room than our old air fryer. I would have paid double what I paid without question.

This is my 2nd Air fryer that I bought for my vacation home. Love the sleek design and beautiful color. Easy to use with all the preset functions. Cooked food to the perfection. So far, I have made cinnamon buns, grilled steak, porkchop, fish, shrimps, vegetables, tofu... Everything came out wonderful and tasted delicious. I loved it for the size too. Very roomy, could fitted 3-4 large size porkchops. So convenient, and cleaning is just a breeze because it is non-stick. Would definitely recommend this air fryer to everyone.

So now that I figured out to preheat it it’s amazing. I’ve used it a bunch of times and love it. Tried it the first time tonight preheating and what a difference I was wondering why before it was taking so much longer. I wanted the ninja but didn’t have the money I’ve bought about 4 different air fryers from just the basic models (only the turn dials) and the digital ones. So the turn dials have my heart I love the simplicity of them but my son kept saying get a fancier one. Well my first air fryer (Bella pro 4.2 qt) stopped working after not even 6 months it just slowly started not heating that well then one night I was using it and second batch of my food just wouldn’t turn on. So my adventure for a new one started. I got the insignia one digital nope didn’t like the locking drawer it was too hard of a pull etc. so next I got a turn dial one while it was nice I didn’t like the size. The more we’ve used them the more we’ve realized that when making a meal for just yourself even the most basic meals you need 2-3 runs of food. Let alone making something for a family. So I saw this on a great deal and to my surprise I’m in love. Despite the fact it’s digital it’s super easy to use. The settings I’m still working out and figuring out but it’s great. As long as you preheat it (assuming because it’s so big) but that’s what I love about yeah it takes up a little space but I’d rather it take up more space then making 50 wings and running it 5-8 times.

Great product as air fryers go, this is one of the quieter ones, cooks very quick, my kids love it for chicken fingers and fries, and the best part they can do it there self,

Yes, it is quite huge, but... So is my ove to heat up!! As a single person, this is so much more practical to prepate meals. Made butternut squash with dried apricots, cranberries and pepitas... Then made ribeye steaks with mushrooms...all in the same basket! Didn't have to turn the oven on, or the grill, or clean up multiple pans. And the best thing I didn't heat up my whole kitchen. Saves on so much clean-up! And everything turned out perfectl, the steak was very juicy and just as good as on the grill without going in and out of the house. Love it so far, but need a new cookbook!

I love that this is big-8 quarts. I can cook enough food for the family in one batch. I like the pre-set mode feature. The smell of plastic took several cooking to diminish. It still has smell but so much better. I hope it will last!

Wow...when I opened it I was like this is kinda big(8 qt) for just me...lol Then I seasoned my wings and saw it is the perfect size for 6-8 whole wings to sit flat, and were they Delicious?!!? :)) I have used it at least 3 days during this first week. I even heated up spring rolls I got at Fresh Market. It's so easy to clean too. This is the one you want forreal!!!
