Customer Ratings & Reviews

In my finding, this item read the best option for the money. I've now used this unit beginning 1/2019, the basket handle release button clear cover broke off in first month, and only once since new in 7/2020 has the timer knob stuck in place without counting down. The fix was to adjust timer knob 1 additional minute, hasn't repeated issue since that one time. Now, the real gripe is the air fryer basket and the quality of non-stick surface material used. The overall handling of fryer basket feels lightweight & semi-flimsy and on the cheap-side, but the non-stick fryer basket surface makes this unit only 3 STAR due to extreme poor quality material used for the non-stick property. The fryer basket's non-stick surface began its peeling at first wash and has degraded completely since, food sticks during cook cycle requiring a heat resistant spatula or tongs to remove cooked foods. Fryer basket cleanup isn't simple, but requires soaking and serious cleaning effort to insure a bacteria free basket. This air fryer fries foods extremely well and evenly if you follow pamphlet instructions, so don't think you're going to fill this basket to the brim and get a great result because it isn't designed that way. This air fryer unit handles in my opinion adequate servings for two persons, maybe four tops depending on the type of food being prepared, but not more. This is my first air fryer and may be my last, my thinking of these apparatuses are in-line with most gimmicks leaving one's questioning is it really necessary. In my pics I had just used it, and I wanted to show the clean-up needed.

Great results. Don't force timer off, it'll break.

Purchased for my mother as a gift. The only reason for four stars instead of one, is the timer not being digital... but hey you get what you pay for! :)

It is a nice kitchen appliance, it does what it is supposed to do.. the only negative it's that it does not shuts down when the timer stops

Hi, I have used for 4 month so far now issues. I works prety well and easy for cleaning and con I wish they have digital timer for fryer

I e only tried it a few times and everything came out great. The only thing that I don’t like is the fact you can’t turn off the timer once you set a time, you have to pull the basket out to do that.

You can just use it for most of the items to make it oil-free. We use an oil mist sprayer for added flavor. But, you need to get your timer settings right.

It works but it's nowhere near the same as frying. The timer isn't long enough to cook raw fresh French fries in one cycle. Basket is a good size for a family of four. I would not purchase this item again knowing what I know now.

This air fryer was great while it worked. It slowly started to break after about a year. First the timer dial knob would occasionally not start up the air fryer. It would take a few tries turning the knob before it'll eventually turn on. The temperature slider became sticky and hard to adjust. With these issues I finally got rid of it. At least I bought it on sale, but still very disappointed.

With out scraping it or doing any damage the black coating peels of , I’m happy the way it fries but I’m very disappointed with the strength of the product . I’m still using it like that but I don’t like it, it also started to show corrosion and the timer dial doesn’t ding sometimes so I’m very disappointed with the product and don’t know if I can still return it.. is being more than a month ... ughh

Was a great way to heat fries and nuggets when it worked. Cleaning was a hassle. I'm glad I didn't spend much on mine. I did have it about 2 years before it stopped working but probably only used it about 10-15 times in that time frame. It just stopped working. There are no lights when plugged in. The timer ticks even when it's not plugged in so it must be similar to a wind up kitchen timer and doesn't need power for that. I tried emailing company but didn't get a reply. So I called Customer service and they were friendly enough when I called. So even though this is a common issue there is nothing they can do as it's out of warranty period. I'll update if they change their mind.

Tray is extremely small, timer has to be set multiple times for food to get done. Does not stay hot very long. If you remove tray to check if food is done, you have to wait for air fryer to heat up again. Best use is heating up previously fried foods.

I bought this on black Friday, and it has been working perfectly until today. It just stopped working. I used it yesterday and it was perfectly fine. Today I went to turn it on, and only the timer is working. I don't recommend this brand, if you can pay more for a better brand.

I've had the chefman air fryer for 2 months now. I love it. I've used it almost every day since I bought it. I love alone so it's just the right size. But if I am cooking for a crowd I can cook on batches just like a deep fryer. I have NO problems with peeling so far.the only reason for 4 stars is I wish the timer was digital. Other than tjat I would recommend
