Great Air Fryer. Simple To Use And Clean.

What I Liked:
It has very simplistic cylindrical design with a handle and a very intuitive touch screen.
The touch screen handles all function settings including power on and off and start and stop.
Now, its a larger appliance so make sure you have the counter and or cabinet space for it.
It has multiple presets with names of foods as well as recomended times and temperatures.
Adjusting the presets is easy right on the touch screen, making it a manual setting which I find usually works out the best for me.
As with any cooking appliance cooking times and temparatures can vary from one appliance to another so I like to keep a close eye on things when I first use them on my most commonly cooked foods.
I went with the bag settings on some chicken bites and potato tots and the results were great.
I did need to give the chicken another minute or two to get them as crisp as we like them.
As for baking, a few corn muffins as a test of that feature turned out well.
This unit will preheat automatically once you hit the start button and it took around 4 minuets to reach 360 degrees. That did not affect the doneness of anything I cooked today and preheat is not a feature I usually use when I have an option.
It will display the temperature and time remaining on the cook.
A shake reminder to shake will sound as you cook to redistribute and turn the foods that need it.
It's EverGood ceramic coated inside virtually elimiates food sticking to it and makes cleanup ever so simple.
Bella give you a 2 year warranty, which not many small appliances do these days.
The huge 8 quart capacity makes this a very versitile appliance giving you the ability to cook both small and large batches of foods such as fries, nuggets etc and the ability to cook a family size roast, chicken or whole turkey breast.
What I did not like:
It is not a deal breaker at all but I wish the preheat function could be skipped if not desired.
Other than that one small preferance of mine, its really a very nice machine.

I purchased this product to replace my previous airfryer, but unfortunately I am scared to even use it. It arrived damaged (although packaging seems fine) and appears to be refurbished with faint scratches on the panel. When I purchased this I expected it to be a brand new appliance. Not sure what would happen if I turn on to use this airfryer, since the heating mechanism appears to be inside and above on the upper part of the unit. Hopefully this is uncommon, and they will send me an exchange. Will update if things work out.

I’ve been using the Bella PRO 8-qt. SmartCrisp Air Fryer for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly been a game-changer in my kitchen. First of all, it's big—the 8-quart capacity is perfect for family-sized meals or when I’m meal prepping for the week. Despite the size, it looks sleek and clean on the counter with its stainless steel finish.
The touchscreen interface is super intuitive and easy to navigate. Whether I'm crisping fries, reheating leftovers, or cooking chicken, it gets the job done fast and evenly. It’s also surprisingly quiet compared to my previous air fryer.
Cleaning is easy too—the basket comes out smoothly and wipes down without hassle. Overall, it’s a great combination of size, quality, and convenience.

I have owned three air fryers now over the years and the Bella Pro SmartCrisp air fryer has been the best so far. Mainly because it has been the easiest to clean up after use. Other air fryers have been a pain to clean up because the fat and grease from cooking fatty foods stick to the surfaces of the air fryer and are difficult to clean, involving lots of soap and elbow grease. However, this Bella Pro features what it calls an EverGood ceramic surface. This surface is nonstick and by nonstick I mean fat and grease really does not stick to it. Fat accumulates as liquid droplets on this surface, not sticky blotches of grease. All I had to was take a paper towel and soak up all the droplets of fat in one pass! The entire basket fits in a standard kitchen sink, so I then just gave it a quick pass with water from the faucet jet sprayer and air dryed it.
In terms of cooking, this air fryer was superb. Foods come out consistently crispy with minimal oil usage. The foods also released rapidly from the cooking surface without sticking to them.
My prior air fryer was a 7 qt in a horizontal layout that required two hands to carry it. Since my air fryer is in my garage this made it cumbersome to open and close the door while carrying it in and out the house. On the other hand, even though this Bella Pro air fryer is a large 8 qt., the basket can easily be carried in one hand. Another great convenience feature.
I really liked the pre-sets for common foods. The French fry preset worked great for cooking a whole bag of frozen fries. I just would shake the basket every 5 minutes and the fries came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Overall, I highly recommend this air fryer for its convenient cleaning and excellent cooking.

I love the capacity of this air fryer, and how quiet it is while operating. I've only used it a handful of times so far to do basic foods (pre-packaged chicken strips and french fries), but I'm pleased with the results. I look forward to trying some different recipes with this unit, I would definitely recommend if you're considering this air fryer.

Goldilocks - Not Too Big, Not Too Small

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We needed to replace our analog air fryer that my 70 year old Mom loved but the basket had seen better days. I know it's kind of rare to find one with analog control these days, so our mission was to find one that's as simple as possible and not too big.
We decided to go with bella PRO - SmartCrisp 8-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer in Stainless Steel since it matches our other appliances. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
Goldilocks perfect, not too big and not too small. Perfect for a family of 4.
The display is fairly simple. Not too overwhelming.
I love how the tray is made with Ceramic Nonstick Coating that’s made without harmful chemicals. It's thin and easy to clean.
Honestly, what sold me was when I saw the picture of a whole chicken in there. I haven't tried it yet since I'm too afraid it'll come out too dry, but knowing that I can fit a whole chicken in there is pretty darn cool!
Cons:
It's the little thing but it drives me nuts that the power button is blinking in sleep mode. I suppose I can unplug it after use but it's not ideal.
The rubber bumpers on the tray. So, our old air fryer did not have these and it caught me off guard seeing them. I guess the instructions said to leave them for proper fitting of the tray, but I am not fond of unnecessary elements in high heat in enclosed space of the food for my family. So, upon researching, it's a fairly common feature across other brands. It just caught me off guard since our old one did not have them.
Lastly, this is neither good or bad but I found that this air fryer is much more powerful compared to our old one. We had burned our first few foods for leaving them too long although it was the same setting we used with our old one. I was also not sure about having a round tray vs square like our old one but it's so spacious that it doesn't matter at the end of the day.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this air fryer and we look forward to fitting in a whole chicken there next time!

I recently purchased the bella PRO SmartCrisp 8‑qt Touchscreen Air Fryer in Oatmilk, and overall, I’m very pleased with it.
What I love:
The 8‑quart capacity is a game changer — I can cook large batches (like a whole chicken or a big batch of fries) in one go without crowding the basket.
It's very lightweight and allows me to easily move it around my kitchen counter or lift to store.
The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive; the preset modes (air fry, roast, bake, reheat, etc.) make it simple to get started.
It reaches high temps (up to 450 °F) and gets food very crispy — I’ve had great results with vegetables, chicken, and even reheated pizza (my fav)
Cleanup is relatively easy. The ceramic nonstick coating does a good job of preventing food from sticking, and though the parts are dishwasher‑safe, I prefer hand washing to preserve the finish.
The styling is nice — the oatmilk color is pleasant and fits well in my kitchen aesthetic. It pairs nicely next to the bella oatmilk toaster!
What could be better:
Preheating takes a bit of time,
The rubber/silicone tabs can collect food residue, just have to remove and clean! No biggie.
Bottom line:
If you're looking for a high‑capacity, feature-rich air fryer with a sleek design, this is a great for you! I’d recommend it, its stylish yet super functional.

this thing is great. its quiet, cooks things evenly with a great crisp. the only thing i dislike is the button placements, and the preheating function. the button placements i can easily get over, i just need to get used to it. great price to get it at especially when its on sale. you have the whole set to match as well. bella pro series for the win!

I’ve been using the Bella Air Fryer for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed by how well it performs for the price. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and gives that perfect crisp on fries, chicken wings, and even vegetables—without using much oil. The results taste great and feel much lighter than traditional frying.
The controls are super easy to use, and cleaning it is a breeze—the nonstick basket just wipes clean or can go straight into the dishwasher. I also love that it’s compact and stylish, so it doesn’t take up much counter space and fits perfectly in a small kitchen.
Overall, the Bella Air Fryer is a great choice for anyone who wants quick, healthy meals with minimal effort. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use air fryer!

Great Air Fryer! Super easy to use and fast! Wish I would have bought this one sooner. Replaced a high end fryer and this works exactly the same. Good brand in my opinion.

Love this air fryer! The 8‑qt size is perfect for making meals for the whole family. It’s quiet, heats fast, and the touchscreen is super easy to use. Food comes out crispy every time, and cleanup is quick thanks to the nonstick basket. Plus, the oatmilk color looks really nice on the counter. Definitely worth it!

Consistent, Good Amount of Options, Pretty Big.

Let me start by saying this air fryer is pretty big, just as big as one of the bigger espresso machines.So plan your space accordingly.
***Pros
-Good amount of power to cook things faster
-Good amount of horizontal space
-Many quick options to cook, fry, steam things
-Touch-pad very responsive and does not require hard presses
***Cons
-Large amount of Vertical space (Deep basket)
In the box, you get everything straight to the point, no recipes, ads, other unnecessary paperwork. One gets the big airfrier with little foam and cardboard, and the manual. The fryer is easy to set up just plug and play. Once the machine is on, one is welcomed with several options to choose from, such as baking, toasting, cooking veggies, fries, chicken, etc. One thing that did surprise me was that there was no dedicated fry option but once you get the hang of the fryer it is not an issue. Once you choose a preset, you can customize the timer and the degrees at which you want the fryer to do its job. Overall I was not disappointed with the power this big machine provides as i have had many air fryers in the past, and they lack in comparison to this one. When it comes to cleaning the basket, the EverGood ceramic does help a bit, by avoiding things to stick to the metal, but once you start cooking meat it will still stick and will have to wash it like any other grill. Lastly the fryer does take up a good amount of space in the counter, about 15 inches from side to side. So if you have the space, and you are in the market for a new air fryer, i would definitely recommend this one

I’m really happy with this air fryer. It’s big enough to cook full meals without having to do a bunch of small batches, which saves a lot of time. The touchscreen is super easy to figure out, and it heats up fast. Everything I’ve made so far — fries, chicken, veggies — has come out crispy and cooked evenly. Plus, it looks really nice with the stainless steel, and cleaning it is simple. Definitely a great buy if you’re looking for something reliable and easy to use.

Air Fryer is perfect and versatile! Great size and holds enough food to feed a family. Cleans so easily. Makes meal planning so enjoyable. Food comes out perfectly with little to no effort.

Great air fryer for the price. Holds a lot without taking up too much counter space. Food gets nice and crispy, although it takes some experimenting with time and temp. I've learned to not rely on presets or package directions. Easy to clean. I also own a dual basket air fryer (different manufacturer), and find that the results with the Bella Pro are superior compared to my other one. I recommend this product.

The bella Pro 8 quart gets the job done and I think is really quiet. We had an air fryer I think about five years ago but wife said too noisy so it had to go. Not this bella - is really nice.
Find more reviews and recipes etc. on YouTube.
400 degrees Fahrenheit is tops so if need hotter good luck finding something safe and not. Noisy. Also bit of advise - the four small silicon spacers you need to remove to fully clean but don’t put the rack back in the fryer basket without the spacers reinstalled.
