The Bella PRO SmartCrisp 8‑qt Touchscreen Air Fryer is a great all‑around kitchen upgrade. I really like how spacious it is. The 8‑quart basket easily handles meals for a big family, and the ceramic nonstick coating feels safe and high‑quality. The touchscreen is simple to use, with handy presets for everything from roasting to dehydrating. The Shake reminder is a surprisingly useful touch, helping food come out perfectly crisp. Plus, it cooks with little to no oil, so it’s a healthier way to get that fried texture without the guilt. A solid, versatile appliance that delivers on what it promises.

The bella Pro 8 qt air fryer basket is very large, and the coating on the rack and basket is non-stick and extremely easy to clean! I appreciate the timer for pre-warming, and the touch-screen is easy to use. The air fryer cooks food speedily and browns well! The air fryer appeared large at first, but it fits perfectly in the corner under my cabinets. I have also purchased several 6 qt bella PRO air fryers from Best Buy for wedding gifts at a reasonable price, and recipients were very pleased with them.

Quick and large capacity. It cooks faster than directions on packaging, so lean on the lower cook times. Super easy to clean, all internals are non stick. It's big, so not good to keep on the counter all the time, but it works amazingly well and on sale it's impossible to beat the value. The interface isn't the best. I wish it had a manual mode, but you have to start with a preprogrammed s we lection, and modify temp and time from there. Not a big deal, though.

I cannot live without this required kitchen accessory. This unit was extremely affordable and works perfectly. It automatically preheats prior to the timer starting, it is super easy to clean, the buttons are responsive, and it has all sorts of preset cooking temperatures and times. Additionally, 8 quarts is hard to mentally image but this thing can fit just about anything you throw at it. Not that I would, but it would probably fit a small turkey or large ham.

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!

This is our second bella PRO air fryer. We use ours daily and it never disappoints. It doesn't take up much counter space due to the round design. The black and stainless steel look sharp in the kitchen. The 8 qt is perfect for our family of 6.

A Kitchen Revolution!
If you’re looking for a way to cook faster, healthier, and tastier, an air fryer is exactly what you need. I tested this kitchen gadget with different dishes, and now I can’t imagine my kitchen without it.
Design and Ease of Use
The air fryer features a stylish, compact design that fits perfectly into any kitchen. The intuitive control panel with touch buttons and preset cooking modes makes the process effortless, even for beginners.
Functionality and Features
This appliance replaces multiple kitchen devices at once: an oven, a deep fryer, a grill, and even a microwave. Some of its standout features include:
✅ Hot air circulation – evenly cooks food, leaving it juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
✅ Minimal oil use – makes meals healthier without sacrificing rich flavor.
✅ Fast cooking – reduces cooking time by 30-40% compared to a conventional oven.
✅ Versatility – from crispy fries and juicy steaks to baked goods and roasted vegetables.
Food Quality
After several tests, I can confidently say that food from the air fryer is delicious, juicy, and flavorful. French fries turn out golden and crispy, meat stays tender and evenly cooked, and baked goods are light and airy.
Cleaning and Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages is easy maintenance. The removable parts are dishwasher-safe, and the interior can be easily wiped clean with a damp sponge.
Final Verdict: Is It Worth Buying?
Absolutely, yes! The air fryer is a convenient, multifunctional, and cost-effective appliance that simplifies cooking while making meals healthier. If you want to spend less time in the kitchen and achieve restaurant-quality dishes at home, this is the perfect investment.

Impresive and Really Perfect

This Air Fryer model is really impressive. I can do wonders on it. It is very easy to use, cook incredibly well and with the help of a thermometer you can get your roasts without many setbacks and very fast. To give you an idea, last Thanksgiving I made my turkey breast in this Air Fryer and no one could believe it. I think 5 stars is too little to rate, I give it a 10.

Great price, works well, easy to clean, nice size. All those who complain about the blinking power button should read the manual. The fryer is supposed to be unplugged when not in use. Problem solved! I'm sorry they gave it 4 stars because they could not read or follow instructions.

The Bella SmartCrisp Digital Air Fryer is a great product. It cooks superbly and performs flawlessly well. I can't say enough about how pleased and stunned I am with its overall performance. It is relatively easy to clean and has several presets which allow you to prepare meals with precision.

I totally recommend this particular air fryer. It heats up fast and evenly cooks everything I have cooked from chicken wings, steak, fish, french fries, tator tots, you name it. It has a massive size basket and is so easy to clean. I have enjoyed this model so much more than any other air fryer I have had. I cook everything in the fryer and have not had to put my oven on for months! You will not be disappointed with this fryer!

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 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.

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.

Works great, had a Ninja before which also worked great. Replaced the Ninja with this one because of the front loading. Is very easy to use, cooks great.

I absolutely love this air fryer. I even cooked a London broil in it and I’ve never been able to cook a tender London broil, but it turned out wonderful I’m very happy with my purchase.
