Customer Ratings & Reviews

We've had Bella air fryers for years, but we hate that this one does not allow you to turn off the pre-heat option. We are having to adjust all of our recipes and the cook times are very different now that we have to wait for it to preheat before the timer starts.

PURCHASED JAN 2025 AND IT WENT OUT THIS MORNING ...JUST 10 MONTTHS ... LOVE BELLA AND HAD TO REPURCHASE A NEW ONE :(

Piece of crap.....................................

This stopped working two days after it was delivered. The touch screen stopped working completely. Too good to be true for the price, avoiding this brand in the future.

Air fryers might be everywhere now, but I’m a loyal Bella fan, having had a few of their air fryer models in the past. My air fryer journey has evolved because I can’t resist the latest and greatest releases in tech and products, so I’ve upgraded a few times and gifted my previous ones to friends and family. The new Bella Pro SmartCrisp 8 qt air fryer is the perfect addition, with its size hitting the sweet spot. It’s large enough to prepare a meal for my family of four, yet doesn’t take over my counter space. Plus, it’s got that sleek, modern appeal with its stainless steel and black finish, and a responsive touchscreen control panel that’s both intuitive and simple enough to use. This air fryer has all the cooking programs you’d expect, along with a 60-minute timer that’s more than sufficient to cook just about anything to perfection. One cool feature that’s new to this model is the “shake feature,” which gives you a friendly reminder during cooking to “shake” your food. While I’ve seen similar alerts in other air fryers for flipping food, this shake reminder feels a little more refined and is a nice touch for even cooking. I’ve cooked up a variety of meals already—fried chicken, wings, French fries, veggies like broccoli…(yes, air-fried broccoli is amazing), and even grilled cheese—and each dish has come out with a perfect crispy texture. But one of the most resourceful features with this Bella Pro is the ease of cleaning. If you’ve used air fryers before, you know the struggle… cooking baskets and racks can be tough to clean, especially after cooking meats or anything with grease. Bella has really stepped up here by adding a ceramic nonstick coating to the cooking basket. For anyone who has used ceramic cookware, you know how much easier this makes cleaning up. I no longer have to soak or scrub endlessly. The ceramic coating really cuts down on cleaning time and makes the process so much less frustrating. If you’re on the hunt to upgrade from an older model, want to add a versatile cooking tool to your kitchen, or are just looking for the perfect all-purpose gift, Bella has nailed it with this Pro SmartCrisp model. It’s a reliable, easy-to-clean, and family-friendly air fryer that’s perfect for everyday use at a great price.

I order new one but they Sent me open box. Bad experience

very quickly became non-functional, I do not recommend buying this product.

The Bella PRO – SmartCrisp 8-qt Touchscreen Air Fryer is the latest update in their series of variably sized and functioned air fryers. Available in 3 colors- stainless steel, brick red, and oatmilk, this 8-quart air fryer has a large, single compartment that is about 11 inches in diameter and 5 ½ inches deep minus the crisping tray. It is sturdy in build, weighs almost 10 lbs., and has a touchscreen digital display that is self-explanatory and easy to use. There are 4 function buttons (bake, roast, reheat, and warm), 6 preset food modes, a power button, start/stop button, and the increase and decrease temperature and time buttons. The SmartCrisp heats up quickly with temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and it has a 60 minute timer. It is classically attractive in the black/stainless steel color combination and would look great on any kitchen counter. In order to accommodate food for up to 8 people this air fryer is fairly large in size and requires about 13 inches of under the counter clearance. The Evergood Ceramic Nonstick coating over aluminum appears to work as advertised and provides superior antiadherent properties. Without adding oil the food gets crisp and does not stick to the basket. Cooking food from a frozen state leaves much less residue in the basket than room temperature foods. The coating makes cleanup simple, usually requiring only a damp paper towel once cooled. The removable parts are supposed to be dishwasher safe but I’ve found over time “dishwasher safe” coatings are affected so I choose to hand wash and air dry all of the removable parts. Bella PRO also advertises that their Evergood Ceramic Nonstick coating is made without the use of PFAS, PFOS, PTFE, lead, or cadmium which are all substances that have been shown to be toxic and/or have negative health effects. As a consumer I expect and appreciate that a company manufactures products that are safe, non-toxic, readily available, and affordable. I have been more than satisfied with the performance of this air fryer. Having a large family often results in having to cook several batches of food in order to feed everyone. The addition of this large sized, single basket fryer allows me to cut my cooking time in half when using it simultaneously with my existing air fryer. So far I have cooked many different frozen foods, fresh fish, steak, and reheated pizza in it. It definitely performs as promised but only time will tell if the Evergood Ceramic coating will retain its nonstick property. I definitely recommend this user-friendly air fryer and I rate it 5 stars.

This new large air fryer from Bella turned out to be a speedier cooker than I expected. Because it is very large, I thought it might be slower, but it was as fast as smaller units.. When I chose to cook just two Italian sausage links as my first use, I was surprised that it cooked them perfectly and quickly. I then tried two sausage links in a smaller air fryer; it took more time. So that was a pleasant surprise. Tip of the cap to the Bella engineers who balanced the size and power perfectly to preheat quickly and cook efficiently. Doing cleanup I noticed that the entire unit is non-stick and cleaned easily. Bella is using a fantastic ceramic coating. Also, since it round, there is no place for food to hide in corners during cleanup. The crisping tray which fit snugly in the interior was easy to clean as it is non-stick as well. The crisping tray has 4 nice bumpers that make sure it fits right and sits off the bottom. I did burn some hamburgers in the unit (my fault), but no sticking whatsoever, cleaned up with a paper towel - wow. I checked out the 10 presets and realized these presets covered about 80% of what I would use the unit for. Of course you don't need to use the presets but I think you will find that they are indispensable and well thought out - another tip of the cap to the design engineers at Bella. The display screen is easy to read, no tiny symbols or small letters, also well done by the designers especially for older eyes. There is a convenient handle in the back so that when you have a large item like a 5 pound chicken, which I cooked; you can easily lift this unit using the front handle and the handy back handle. This is the only time I've seen this back handle feature - very nice. The user guide is well written and clear. Although the guide covered many types of food to cook and how to utilize the presets, I think a larger recipe booklet would be a nice touch to add since this cooker is big enough for some dandy recipes. This unit has an excellent 2 year warranty not just 90 days. I was impressed by the sturdy build and just plain functional and easy to use design. I would highly recommend this air fryer for large and small meals.

This is probably why it’s 50% off because it’s a piece of human shjt. Turns on but won’t start.

If you haven’t seen air fryers around, then you’ve likely been living under a rock. 8 qt is advertised as being enough to feed a family of 8. I’ve got 2 boys that play league sports and I can say that 8 qts comfortably feeds our family of 4 even with their appetites. The design is nice and simple with a single cylinder design. I feel like the cylindrical shape allows for more “usable” space compared to a rectangle with its sharp corners. The Evergood ceramic coating is free of PFAS, lead, and other harmful chemicals that might be found in other non-stick coatings. What’s also clutch is the fact that the basket and tray are both very easily removable. Another plus is that they’re both dishwasher safe, which definitely helps with convenience. The touchscreen interface may be overkill, but it makes the whole exterior look sleek without any breaks due to physical buttons. Very clear menu options and layouts for various cooking options as well. We love that air fryers allow us to crisp up food without using a bunch of oil, and nowadays, we sometimes forego adding oil completely. The biggest food critics in our home haven’t complained about the food, so it’s a win for us. Nice and spacious basket with easy to clean, easily removable parts.

Item arrived damaged had to be returned only good part was service desk employee was very helpful and returned item quickly and did apologize for inconvenience

Best Buy representative was not able to explain or interpret product use and its warranty

The power light blinks non-stop when unit isnt being used , a small annoyance.

The bella PRO air fryer comes with 10 preset defaults. Each preset is adjustable as to temperatures and time. There is however a range of each temperature/time depending on your selection. As an example of this the Bake preset default is 25 minutes and 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You can adjust the time from a low of 1 minute to a high of 60 minutes and a temperature between 170 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The frying basket and crisping plate are coated with bella’s EverGood ceramic. This allows for rapid food release and easier cleanup. The basket holds 8 quarts of food or 6.6 pounds of weight. Cleanup of the basket and smart crisp plate is easily completed using hot soapy water, taking care not to damage the EverGood ceramic coating. The outside of base machine can be accomplished utilizing a soft damp towel. It is recommended that you keep the box to store the unit. Having used Air Fryers for many years I found this unit to be compatible with other brands costing more. The versatility of this unit is unmatched. I believe the best feature of this unit is the basket. In case of an emergency or to add something to the basket it shuts off if you remove the basket and will restart after reinstallation and the timer will automatically continue to count down. You can also add more time if needed just by hitting the timer plus symbol.

Air fryers are the best thing ever besides microwaves and ovens makes everything better and crispier and brings back the flavor

This air fryer is easy to use and with an eight quart capacity there's enough room to cook for a large family.

works great, very easy to use with the presets, and has a temp , and manual timer

After using this air fryer for about a week, I am pleased with how well it works. For starters, I like the digital controls and notifications. The digital controls let you set the exact temperature and time, which is difficult to do on my old air fryer that has knob controls, and that have worn off over time. Also, the notification of when the fryer is preheated is nice, as well as the notification you get to shake the basket half way through the timer. Another really nice feature of this fryer is that the interior is coated with something called EverGood ceramic. It is made without any of the harmful lead, cadmium or other coatings. So far, nothing has stuck to any of the sides or the crisping tray, and cleaning has been very easy. There is a rapid release on the basket so you can literally just pull it out of the fryer to empty the contents, or to wash the basket. Cleaning has been very quick and hassle free. After cleaning I usually run it for a few minutes with the basket in to sterilize and dry it out before storing. Two other features are nice to have. The first is the size of the basket. It says it is 8 quarts and I would say it is rather large. It can hold a lot of food at once, which can save time compared to having to cook multiple batches. The other feature is the built in cooking features. They are nice because they give you the recommended cooking temperature and time with just the touch of one button - you don't have to look up the recipes to cook. Overall, I am pleased with this air fryer and will probably go out of my way to find some new recipes to cook in it this week.

I like that it preheats automatically except when you are reheating. The reheat and keep warm functions are nice. Its easy to clean too.
