Very bad brand. I have replaced it twice and the same issue, suddenly stop heating. Bad quality!!

DO NOT BUY. I have went through two of them in the past seven months. They both just stop working.

Barely lasted 6 months, then burner popped and stopped working. I will try to get ahold of manufacturer

this chefman air fryer is not worth buying, i used it for about 2 months and the bake,broil, air fry, toast switch burnt up.

I tried cooking some wings however it will only cook the top part you would have to flip them after 20 minutes

Terrible quality! Stopped working on November 3rd just a week after it was nit returnable.

Essentially the unit lasted three months and was not inexpensive.

Arrived faulty and had to return it. The light to show it was working was inside the casing. It also cooked very unevenly.

Ok, but the basket and tray started to rust within a week. Good luck cleaning it!

Purchased in February stoped working in March can’t return to store got ripped off

My wife has been asking for an air fryer for a long time. But with countertop real estate at a premium, and with space already occupied by a large toaster oven, I have always refused. Now Chefman has created a product that combines both appliances into one. The footprint is equal to the toaster oven that we currently have. So, goodbye to the toaster oven and hello to the Chefman. The first thing that the instruction manual states is to clean the oven before the first use. I highly recommend that you clean the interior. I found that the heating elements were covered with a black graphite type of coating, probably used in the manufacturing process. It took several paper towels to remove this black coating, which likely would have made its way onto your food if not removed. The product has 4 dials at the front which operate time, temperature, type of cooking and toast light to dark setting. The dials are large, well spaced and intuitive. However, the only indicator of where the dial is set is a notch that is the same color as the dial and recessed toward the rear of the dial. This prevents you from checking on the remaining time or other setting from any distance. Instead you are forced to go right up to the oven, in a well lit area to see the notch. And with the timer, once you turn it past a certain point, you have to either feel for the notch or bend down to look under the dial. A simple black dot on the front of the dials would alleviate this issue. Also, making the notch a contrasting color would help. The first thing I did was toast. I placed the bread in the center of the middle rack as described in the instructions. However, I found that the bread was much darker on the bottom than on the top. I had to move the rack to the highest level and invert the rack which raised the bread an additional inch higher in order to get evenly toasted bread. A little inconvenient, however problem solved. Then I tried air frying and convection cooking and this is where this product shined. The foods, chicken, fish and potatoes cooked quickly and evenly. The texture of the food was excellent. Fan noise was minimal, in fact much less than other air fryers and convection ovens that I have seen. One important note is that the oven vents from the rear. So it is important to move the oven as far away from the wall as possible to prevent your cabinets from getting warm. The instruction manual says 2-4” from the wall, but I say more than that or better yet, if you have a counter top area without cabinets, that is where I would recommend that you place it while cooking. So overall, I am happy with this product, especially the convection cooking and air frying, and that you get the best of a toaster oven and air fryer in one product. The negatives, I consider them to be minor inconveniences that are outweighed by the positives.

It broke after about 8 months, kept jumping off the mode selection and turning off

Toaster ovens have always been one of those small kitchen appliances (if you can call them small) that I want to have, but never actually get. I remember a house that me and two friends lived in that didn’t have the hookups, or the space for, a conventional oven and all we had to work with were hot plates, crock pots, our microwave and a toaster oven. They’re great little devices, really, if you have the space for them...But the Chefman Air Fryer / Toaster Oven takes both of those things (great device and having enough space) to the next level. For starters, don’t think of this as a toaster oven. What this truly is, is a tiny oven. I know that sounds silly, but in almost every way it looks like a “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” version of your existing range, possibly minus the stovetop portion. Honestly, part of me wants to build a tiny house in my back yard just to install this into the tiny built-ins. In any case, this is not your conventional toaster oven (see what I did there?)…it bakes up to 450 degrees, air fries, broils and toasts, and it does all of those things exceedingly well. My biggest beef is the fact that “preheat” is not a built in setting…it does literally everything else my oven does, except for preheat. It is not the smallest “countertop” appliance you can buy, for sure, but if you have the space (or lack the oven), it’s a good addition; it can easily fit small-to-medium-sized chickens or turkeys, and handles a single- or double-serving of French fries quite well. I’ve always thought a double-oven setup would be ideal, and while this isn’t the same, it certainly gets you part way there. And yes, it’s $200, but it is nothing like a standard toaster oven. If all you need is a simple toaster oven, this is probably not a good choice—but with the addition of air frying, broiling and the sheer size of the thing, the extra capital outlay is worth it if those are features you’re seeking.

5 months ago bought this and already doesn’t work. Waste of money.

Awful product less than a year stop to work. Very poor

I was looking for something to replace my 4 slice toaster and wanted the advantage of a toaster and oven all in one. This appliance fit the mold and also added air frying and convection in one. It is easy to use and I can make everything from a frozen pizza to heating up leftovers to air frying french fries and of course making toast. The reason for just 4 stars instead of 5, my kitchen is an average size kitchen with plenty of counter space. This appliance is huge, I mean it is overly large and takes up a good chunk of counter space on its own. It was larger than I thought it would be and stands out almost too much on a regular size kitchen counter, enough for people to comment on how big it is. I would probably think twice about this if you have a small amount of counter space as it won't fit smaller kitchens.

Stopped working after few uses. Very low quality..

I can't say enough about how much I love this air fryer. I've cooked pizza, chicken (multiple way), toast and fries so far. I tried baking the chicken and it came out like it was perfectly cooked on the grill. Using the air fryer made my fries perfectly crispy without the grease. I haven't used my oven at all since having this air fryer. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes included as well. It's also pretty easy to clean everything.

Originally worked great. After about 8 months. Suddenly completely stopped working.

Stopped heating after less than 1 year. Replaced with another Chefman
