I bought this on a whim. I’m normally a little more hesitant about kitchen appliances but this really caught my eye. My first thought out of the box was, wow this thing is huge! I actually unboxed it and let it sit on the counter, intimidating me every time I walked past it for days but I finally picked up the booklets abs read through them. I started slow and air fryed acorn squash. I was shocked! 7 minutes on 400 in the air fryer and boom, perfect squash. I’ve since tried cinnamon rolls (2 cans fit), grilled chicken, tons of veggies, pizzas on premade pizza crusts (so amazing!), sausage and muffins (the muffins were done in 7 minutes on bake).This little machine had been a time saver and is so easy to clean. I am so happy with this purchase and I never leave reviews but I can’t pass up telling you how great this appliance is.
Make sure you have counter space room for it because it’s big and you’ll want to use it multiple times a day.
I took my toaster over/air fryer combo up to the camper because it pales in comparison. Just buy it. You won’t regret it.

My first one had "shut lid" issue and returned it to Best Buy. Received the replacement and could not be happier. It is an amazing appliance. All features work fantastic. It even makes great toast on bake at 350 for 2 minutes. Best Buy send me by mistake another one so I kept. I bought the appliances on special for $79.99 each. I could not be happier. Grilling steaks in one and air frying in the other. A win win situation. I looked at the Ninja but the Bella is much larger and has more functions. Easy to clean, easy to operate and results are amazing!

Owning an air fryer is a life changing experience. I've been fortunate enough to get a hand-me-down air fryer from my mom who purchased one because "it was on sale", and that thing opened my eyes in terms of quality of food, time spent and clean up. But most importantly, convenience is what makes air fryers so appealing.
Fast forward to today's air fryer and we have something like the Bella Air Pro XL Grill. It is the do-it-all appliance that doesn't have "fryer" in its name anymore. But is it for real?? Spoiler: Yes.
First thing that catches your eye is how huge this thing is. It is an absolute unit! Second thing I noticed about the unit is its top heaviness. As in if the lid flips open, it will topple over, heavy. Finally with the lid fully open, it has quite a large amount of room for cooking.
Setup and use is much like a typical oven/broiler. You set a temp, press go and wait until the unit reaches temperature. It will then prompt you to add food. My previous experiences with air fryers was to just throw in food and press go, hitting the ground running. So I appreciate the temperature wait setup more because it will facilitate cooking consistency in relation to what recommended temps should be set for a particular food or meal. There is also a timer that will run down and shut off the unit based on the preset minutes.
Bella claims not only frying, but grilling, broiling, baking and simpler things like 1-touch pizza. It comes with the main pan, grilling plate, frying basket and baking rack. In the short amount of time I've owned it thus far, I've done the following:
Waffle fries and dino bites
Pigs in a blanket
Sirloin beef patties
Precooked hot links
Bacon wrapped cheese filled chicken breasts
Bacon by itself
10 minute 12" pizza
Reheating aforementioned pizza
Each of these have come out of the unit piping hot and either moist, juicy or crispy, or a combo of the three. I am not surprised how well the Bella Air Pro performs. I knew it would deliver and I love it. I haven't tried broiling/searing a ribeye, but will be my next assignment. The Air Pro can get as hot as 500+ degrees fahrenheit!!
Cleanup is such a breeze with this as the entire pan lifts out of the unit along with the grill grate, baking rack or the frying basket. The main pan is non-stick and wipes clean even on the cheesiest messes. Underneath the lid is a removable screen that will much resemble your kitchen vent after several runs and layers of grease and oil. This too is easy to clean off.
Now the unit comes with a recipe book for the cooks at home, but if I'm being honest, a grocery run at the frozen aisle is where most will get their money's worth from this unit. Second to that would be folks who don't have an outdoor grill and would love to have a decent barbequing experience indoors.
You're going to need a lot of counter space and enough headroom to open the lid fully. The only way to remove parts from the unit is to have the lid completely open. Also the power cable was a bit on the short side, in my opinion.
If grilling indoors, be aware that it will generate quite a bit of smoke. I never really noticed this with frying fries and chicken nuggets, but the burgers I made created a barbeque haze in my kitchen...same can be said for bacon. When cooking pizza, I found it rather difficult to remove the pizza from the baking rack in the main pan without destroying the pizza itself.
Overall I think the Bella Air Pro XL Grill is a very versatile appliance that steps out of the bounds of just air frying. It extends its definition of convenience to other aspects of cooking and is very smart about it. I plan to use this regularly just on the convenience alone; the quality of the food that comes out after it's done cooking is a bonus.

Looks great as a counter top appliance. It was actually a little bigger than expected. Cooks /seals great cooks food with no problem. Best if something calls for 400 degrees to put it on 350 so u don't overcook item, that's how tight/sealed it is.great buy, bought mainly for the quick household hungry moments. Does good for all the air fry stuff and pizzas as well!

The King of Air Fryer

I gotta say this Bella Pro Series Airfryer/Grill has won my heart. I have used approximately 7 different types of air fryers and my top choice was the Ninja Dual zone until this Bella came along. Be warned this thing is huge. I have a decent size kitchen and I had to place this thing away from the cabinets not because of its large size but because the lid opens upwards and it can't open fully. It is not like the traditional air fryer that has a pull out basket; this one has a lid that is not detachable. It's size comes with a few perks you can fit up to 5.8qts in the airfryer basket, 9qt in the cooking pot, and a 12 inch pizza.
This Bella is very easy to use, you can select any of the preset settings and adjust the temperature and cooking time. Something to mention this thing has to preheat first even for the air fryer setting, the good thing it doesn't take long. What do I love about this air fryer that won my heart. First was the air fryer feature, I did not have to flip the meat. I cooked some chicken and I opened the lid a few times to check if I needed to flip them and to my surprise it was cooking from both sides without flipping. Two, the grilling feature is the best I have seen so far. This is truly an indoor grill, and the reason I say that is because there was 0 smoke in the house. I cooked 2 pieces of skirt steak (churrasco) and they came out perfectly cooked in just 12 min and honestly now I grill my chicken breast instead of air fried.
Lastly the cleaning, the ceramic coating in this thing is phenomenal. Cleaning this thing was such a freeze just using hot water the grease just peel off, and with a soft sponge you can remove the excess with barely no effort. That was one of the things I loved about the Ninja and this one has it too. It is fairly quiet for its size too. I am very impressed with the way this machine works and I'll see myself using the grilling feature more often.
Overall this is a great Airfryer/grill the King, very well built, pretty and easy to use but you need to have the space for it. In the box you get the Air fryer, baking rack, grill plate, air fryer basket, cooking pot and manuals.

This Bella 9-in-1 AirPro XL Grill is a great device to add to your kitchen! I love the fact that it has so many functions built into one unit. You can broil, sauté, sear, dehydrate, bake, roast, grill, and air fry all in a single unit. I was particularly excited to try out the grill function!
I tested a few different functions with this unit. I grilled chicken breasts, baked pork chops, and baked a frozen pizza in it. This unit performed well with all of those functions! It was quick to pre-heat before inserting the food, and the the digital timer and programming made things super easy.
To use this unit, you first go and program it to the function, time, and temperature settings you would like it to heat to, and then the unit will show you a progress bar as it pre-heats. As soon as it finishes pre-heating, it will tell you to put in your food. Once you shut the lid with your food inside, the timer begins counting down. This works really well and allows for easy and precise timing with the unit.
When testing the grill function, the unit got very hot quickly and did a great job at heating the meat quickly. It also did a really good job at cooking my pork chops and frozen pizza quickly and effectively. I have included pictures of the chicken and pork chops that I got out of this unit. There is also plenty of room in this device to fit your food. Additionally, the components that you use for baking, grilling, and air frying are all ceramic non-stick coated and very easy to clean up.
While this device works great and has a lot of great functions, there is one thing I want to warn people about. If you are looking for something small and compact, this is NOT IT. When I saw the picture for this unit, I was expecting a fairly small air fryer and grill, but boy was I wrong! This thing is pretty BIG, and the box it came in is huge! Definitely make sure you have plenty of counter space to use it and somewhere to store it. Additionally, you need to have quite a bit of open space above it to be able to open the lid fully. This has to be pulled out over the side of my counters some because my cabinets above can get in the way of the lid opening enough to get the cooking pieces in and out.
Overall, this device works really well and has a lot of great capabilities! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile cooking appliance who has enough space to store and use it!

So this is my second air fryer that also has several other functions for your one stop shop for a useful small appliance.
Me personally I love to air dry and cook my young children their favorite frozen foods. Corn dogs, totinos frozen pizzas, French fries and me and my wife’s favorite (HOT WINGS). Plus we tried this with the included grill plate to cook home made hamburgers. And they came out just right. We are both on a diet so we try to limit nasty grease when frying certain foods. And this Bella 9in1 is really amazing. I didn’t know what to expect since I didn’t have much experience with this brand minus a cheap 2 hamburger grill that we got for maybe 5$. That worked ok. But this machine cooks food so fast and almost perfectly. Fries from the store frozen and all tasted like they were from a restaurant. I swear. The frozen pizzas were great. At least that’s what my kids said. And chicken wings were just right. Kinda crispy in the outside and juicy on the inside. I have a Phillips xl and this one blows it a away at an even cheaper price.
This thing is quiet too. My old one is super loud. And this one is huge. That’s great if you have a bigger family like we do. Controls are plenty and easy to set heat and timer.
The only little nitpick is that u can’t just throw food in ,set timer and go take a shower. You Will have to let it pre heat and then it will ask you to put the food in after that point. Which is good because you won’t over cook. But I’m a busy dad and my wife is as well. Minor issue. But not in any way deserving of a star deduction. This Bella pro series. Really is a pro. And we couldn’t be happier. We stay in and cook more than we go out to eat. This makes it easy and that’s great.
Hands down a huge recommendation for us. Great job on this little(BIG) machine.
Well built and designed.

Bella Pro Series - 7-in-1 Indoor Grill with 5.8-qt Air Fryer, Roast, Broil, Bake, Sear & Dehydrate
First the Listing is not what you get! I don’t know if they decided to upgrade the units or the marketing team at Bella changed their mind but the box says this is a 9-in-1 Air pro XL grill. The 9 functions are Roast, Bake, Air Fry Convection, Grill, Broil, Sauté, Sear, Pizza, Dehydrate.
The Bella unit is well constructed and looks great black with chrome accents. The unit is large and will need an open counter or at least high cabinets above your counters because this unit opens up unlike other air fryers with a pull-out cooking tray. I really like the way this unit opens up but make sure it will fit your space.
The cooking pot is actually 9 qt, the 5.8 qt refers to the air fryer basket. This unit really lives up to it’s XL labeling! You can Cook a Large Chicken or a Small Turkey, A full Roast, Prime Rib, Even a Rack of Lamb. If you like Grilling during the winter or don’t have a home or live in an apartment that can not accommodate or allow conventional grilling this unit can grill a Steak on the provided grilling plate with no smoke in addition both sides will cook evenly due to the upper and lower heating elements and “circular heating technology” Convection heating up to 510F. With the Baking rack you can bake a Cake, Cup cakes or even cookies. The accessories except the baking rack are ceramic coated and all are dishwasher safe and PFOA / BPA free.
So how does this thing cook you say? Great!! The Pork roast with red potatoes and onions I made cooked evenly and remained moist. No turning needed. It was the best I ever made. French fries come out crispy if you use store bought or spay them with some oil if cut from fresh. Grilling is just a good, great marks, evenly cooked and moist. Did I mention you can make a pizza in this thing! And Wings! Woohoo football party here we come.
There are so many more ways to us this multi cooker so unleash your inner gourmet cook and enjoy. I really like this unit… my new favorite cooking appliance.

Incredible 9-in-1 kitchen appliance

The Bella Pro Series AirPro XL indoor grill is a fantastic indoor kitchen appliance for anyone wanting to avoid enduring the cold, wet or hot outdoor elements while also offering many other cooking options including roasting, broiling, baking, dehydrating, air frying, searing, etc. and is large enough to cook up to a 12” pizza. Calling this appliance just a grill would do it disservice. Right out of the box I could see and feel how well made and durable the appliance is. The lid, which is where the fan and splatter shield is located, is quite large, the 9-quart cooking pot, 5.8-quart air-fryer basket and grilling plate are all ceramic for easy cleaning, non-stick cooking, and are all dishwasher safe. It also includes a stainless-steel baking rack. The grill has several different presets on the control panel including broil, sauté, sear, pizza, air-fry convection, grill, roast, bake and dehydrate. It also has manual settings to control the temperature and a time and heats up within minutes due to the 1700-watt heating element and can be heated up to 500 degrees.
A recipe book is included in the box so, for my first run, I decided to try out making a pizza from scratch and cooking it in the grill. The pizza turned out delicious however you may want to check on it every so often because it does cook fast and the top got a little crispier than I expected because of the circulating air on the top. For my next run, I grilled chicken breast and steak to perfection on the first try with little effort while also not smelling up the kitchen thanks to the circular air technology which also allows for much faster cooking. For my next trial, I went with the air frying option and made broccoli as a side with a little olive oil, lemon and garlic salt. This also cooked much faster than I was used to compared to our last air fryer and was glad I opened the lid a little early to check on it; it took about 7 minutes and was cooked perfectly. There are many other recipes included in the book that we will be trying in the future and I am looking forward to how the grill performs considering the success I have had so far.
Overall, I have been pleased with the grill and the cooking options. After having separate appliances to perform all these functions, it is nice to be able to consolidate all into one machine clearing out more storage space in the kitchen. However, the grill is relatively large compared to other kitchen appliances so I would recommend measuring for storage space; the grill measures approximately 18” deep, 14” wide and 13” tall when closed. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a great all-in-one kitchen appliance that is built well, cooks food to perfection with little effort and perhaps are looking to cut down on the amount of appliances you have in the kitchen.

I have been in search of a indoor cookware but had trouble deciding why style of cooking I wanted to perform. Thankfully with this 9-in-1 product I no longer have to make sacrifices! It does so many different cooking methods and the size allows for large meals for big families. I have been enjoying how fast and easy to use this is along with the book it provides on cooking tips. I recommend this product for anyone who wishes to cook in multiple methods without having to sacrifice

If you are looking for an all in one solution in your kitchen to simplify your life a bit, look no further. This is a 9 in 1 appliance that although, I consider this to be a rather large appliance, takes up a fraction of what each standard appliance takes up on your counter.
Pros:
-XLarge 5.8qt air fryer basket
-XLarge 9qt cooking pot
-Bake, broil, roast, convention, dehydrate, saute, sear options
-Grill with a 12"x12" grilling grate
-Fits a 12" pizza
-Easy to clean and less cooking smells to escape into your home
Cons:
-Learning curve to find proper temps. The guide that it comes with is ok to get you in the ballpark of temps and times but learn from my mistake and check on your pizza!
-Not really a con but make sure you have adequate counter space for this big bad boy

I was skeptical at first, but really wanted a way to cook without using my oven and heating the kitchen in the summer. This thing is incredible! We’ve used every feature except dehydrating and it’s amazing. After two weeks of using it daily, I can’t imagine not having this product. Easy to use, easy to clean, faster than an oven, and it doesn’t put off a lot of heat. Steaks have the traditional grill marks but remain juicy on the inside. Pork tenderloin in 20 minutes, juicy and tender. A couple reviews mentioned smoke coming out, but I’ve never experienced that. I don’t mind cooking when I get home from work because it’s so quick and easy now. I’ve recommended this to everyone in my family.

Got this as a deal of the day and super happy with it. Was looking to replace my old Oster toaster oven/air fryer and this thing is a beast. Has grilling temps up to 500 degrees and so many functions. Good capacity as well. Seems like it will be a lot easier to clean than the prior machine. The basket is removable and washable so the cavity should be easily kept clean, the top mesh splatter guard is also removable to wash and clean easily. Had this for about 1 week now and we're thrilled.
YOU CAN MAKE TOAST IN THIS!! Although just like 4 pieces generally fit (depending on your bread) you can easily toast it. So far the best feature is to us the grill plate then the pizza rack on top and put the bread on the pizza rack. So far from the few tests, baking at 400 degrees for about 2-3 minutes had the best results.

I LOOOOOVE this airfryer...it's my first one that I actually kept and am using daily...I do everything in it and love cooking again....it's versatile and although it's a little taller than I like...I love it so much that I don't mind pulling it out to use daily....I'm on low carb and this allows me to feed my fried chicken habit whenever I want without the guilt.

This is a great air fryer. My family uses this, almost daily, and it has been amazing. Works as advertised. Just power on, preheat, and place food. The instructions have recommended cooking times which is pretty great since we're trying to cook new foods. I recommend reading the cooking times and the manual before using this though. I accidentally dehydrated a burger patty and it came out jerky.
Another thing to know, this is quite LARGE. Also add in the fact its a top open air fryer, and not a pull out tray air fryer. Make sure you have room for it to open and place food in the tray.
