This is absolutely the an amazing air fryer. In comparison to another Air fryer I had, which was a Bella, The Chefman fryer is quiet and your house will not smell when it’s cooking the food or any lingering odors the next day. Also, I would recommend that you use the liners that come with the fryer opposed to buying generic liners. I highly recommend the Chefman!

Excellent air fryer. Very quiet,
The basket rack was stuck in probably the wrong way. Overall the unit is good. Easy to clean once the basket rack is removed.

Very surprised at the performance of this air fryer. It’s very simple to use and a great entry into this world. Price is fair, basket size isn’t the largest but good enough for a first air fryer.
Also easy to clean and makes cooking really simple. Love this thing.

This is my second air fryer. The user interface is much better than the Insignia (got recalled) air fryer I had. Like the Insignia, this Chefman cooks fries great and is easy to clean.
I do not have experience air frying anything beyond potato-based things so I cannot comment on cooking complex recipes with this unit. That said, I would think heat is heat and expect it to be as good as any other same sized air fryer in that regard.
This is a 5 Qt. sized unit and is perfect for a whole bag of steak fries.
I hope this helps!

Love the digital screen, easy to set up and use right out of the box. I got one for myself and one for a friend and we both love the ease and convenience of them. Definitely worth the sale price. Have done fries, fried pickles, pizza rolls, and other frozen foods so far. Works great!

This is the 2nd air fryer I have owned. This thing is amazing! The basket is large enough that you can fit a mini single serve pizza in it! It cooks everything to perfection in no time flat! The digital screen is super simple to use. You can operate this thing without reading a book before hand. I cannot say enough good things about this air fryer. This is my most loved kitchen appliance ever in existence! I think we’re getting married soon.
Disclosure: I was in no way paid or compensated in any fashion for this review. I just feel that passionately about the product.

This by far is the best product. Its like having a second oven. It bakes, roast, broil, and air fry. Meats come out moist, and tender. I like the touchscreen, makes ir easier, and quicker to prepare food.

A Good Air Fryer with some flaws

I've had three 5qt air fryers in the last two years. (The recall of Best Buy air fryers in 2022 made me replace the digital one I mostly loved.) This Chefman was the first shot and it's a good air fryer.But the little things are what matter and this is about why I returned it. If these things aren't a problem, this one could be for you.
The unit is narrower and drawer taller, so yay for a wee bit more counter space. But IMHO food cooks better in a shallower layer, so a wider, deeper area is better. Maybe a wash, you decide.
There is no basket. Yay, one less thing to clean... but the basket tray thing here... meh. I decided I prefer the design with handle on basket that detaches from the drawer. Again, maybe a wash...
And this thing beeps. A LOT. I don't need to be reminded that my food is NOT YET DONE and certainly not repeatedly for 15 SECONDS STRAIGHT! I could not find a way to disable this "feature" (a screwdriver would have worked, but no, not on a brand new thing).
Finally, the price on the analog version of the air fryer I mostly loved dropped to $5 less than the Chefman and this was the final nail in CHefman's coffin. Thanks, Best Buy Pricing Roulette! and bye-bye Chefman... You tried, but I guess I'm just too hard to live with.

I love it. Makes cooking easier, faster, less messy, less hot. My husband loves bacon but I do not like cleaning after the mess and my babies are always standing by the stove when grease is flying. This solved all of that for me and more. I would recommend for sure.

The digital display is an amazing upgrade from the dials. Simple to use and has the halfway shake option available. Sleek design makes it a great product to place in any kitchen. Simply put, it gets hot.
