CHEFMAN Small Air Fryer Healthy Cooking, 3.6 Qt, Nonstick, User Friendly and Dual Control Temperature, w/ 60 Minute Timer & Auto Shutoff, Dishwasher Safe Basket, Matte Black, Cookbook Included

“I’ve been using this air fryer for a while now, and it’s honestly the best. It cooks food evenly and quickly, it’s easy to use, and the results come out crispy and delicious every time. Perfect for everyday cooking!”

I just received this Chefman 6 in 1 Air-fryer earlier today. I've cooked a ton of bacon in it earlier and am now dehydrating banana slices and grapes. It's a bit early to have a definitive opinion, but I did want to share some first impressions. THE GOOD: - In other reviews I noted some who observed that the temperature up/down button increments in 10 degree steps. I assume their device was a generation older than mine as mine increments in 5 degrees steps. Nice! - I also noted in other reviews comments that the wire cooking racks are flimsy and that the wire mesh was so sharp it could cut your hand. After cooking bacon, the wire cooking racks had quite a bit of cooked on food product. Briefly soaking the racks in warm soapy water and using a stiff dish washing brush cleaned these up like new. - One or more reviewers mentioned that in spite of the drip pan, drips got past it and to the bottom of the device. I just simultaneously cooked three racks of bacon and not a drip of grease got past the drip tray. - Temp only goes to 400, but there's an option to kick it up to 450 to crisp at the end of your cooking. Nice! - Oven light is nice. THE NOT AS GOOD - The flip light used to tell you to flip fries and such just illuminates, no sound. This needs to be an audible sound. - Venting to back instead of sides. The manual states the air fryer only needs to be 2" away from the wall. I found that at 400 degrees and cooking for 15 minutes that the unit shut down on its own several times. I had to pull the air fryer away from the wall 6" to keep it from shutting down. I assume the auto shut down was because of an overheat condition, but there was no message that indicated this. If my opinion changes, I'll update, but I'd definitely rate this a great buy! UPDATE 07/28/2025: We've used this air fryer now for several weeks. First, I really do like the appearance of this device over a larger stainless air fryer I bought before this one. I really like the technical aspects of this air fryer. I saw on previous versions of this same fryer people complained about the lack of temperature controls because each step up in temperature on prior versions was in 10 degree increments. My device steps up in 5 degree increments. Also, people complained about the obnoxiously loud beeper that sounds when your food is done. This device has an appropriately loud beeper that doesn't both me at all. And though my prior air fryer was of the basket variety and my wife still preferred that format, this one has three heavier wire shelves that work fine. Cleaning is a little more difficult and while I normally hand wash our dishware, so far with a little presoak I've been able to with elbow grease get these clean. The only disappointment I've had so far is with the evenness of the temperature distribution. I wrongly assumed that the fans would more evenly distribute the temperature so flipping food wouldn't be required as much. But this cooks hot on one side more than the other, so you do have to pay attention when cooking and flip at least once through the cooking cycle. And by the way, with three racks I have at least double the space to cook things as I had with the old basket style fryer. If in the future I need to replace this device, I'd definitely consider this one...

Weve had a air fryer a few years and love it. We'll it was starting to break down, this was on sale and gave it a try. Oh my goodness, it works so great. So much better than basket one, it gets things so much crisper! I cooked chicken nuggets and fries and only had to do one cycle as it was big enough for 3 people what I was able to put in on 3 trays. The rotisserie function is good, however you've got to make sure you have a small enough meat, and that you secure it correctly or it doesn't work well. I was shocked how quiet it is, that is definitely a plus. It has pre sets that make cooking easier and gives an idea of how long to cook something. Option to the rotisserie function on and off by button thought that was neat. We recommend buying a 8x8 silicone mat for the bottom pan (thats removable for easy cleaning) I have 2, and I can just switch them out , wipe off anything into the trash and then wash it right up.

great delivery all as description said, first cook was a fish but all goes great want to try cookies and update my comment, easy to clean just soap a warm water

So far, I love this thing. I read a few other reviews saying it doesn't cook fast enough, but it does a great job. I love crispy potatoes and my last air fryer was a pain to get them. This one is SO easy. I just cooked a meal with potatoes, green beans and fish, all at once. I really love it. The only commend I'd have is cleaning. The wire racks will tear up sponges. I just bought some brushes, lets see how long they last. Aside from that it's the best one I've tried so far.

Everyone kept telling me they love their air fryer, so I wanted one. I became obsessed with finding the perfect one for me so after a month I settled on this one. First thing I made was berry crisp, threw the stuff together in a couple single serve bake dishes, set it to 350 for 40 minutes and it was perfect. No preheating, no heating the entire apartment, just perfect crisp. There were several complaints from other buyers who said there were missing pieces or their units didn't work, or initially worked and then stopped working. Mine came very well packaged, no damage, all parts included, so I have no complaints there but I understand if maybe some sellers are less thorough or trustworthy in regards to the products they provide. Some complained that it was loud. This is the most quiet kitchen appliance I have ever purchased, it makes less noise than my microwave. Also, I'm not quite sure why people complain that the drip tray isn't large enough, it's literally the same dimensions as the bottom of the unit, so any spill-over should land on the tray unless you're filling this unit over capacity somehow, not sure how that is possible. I also want to mention that although heat did radiate from the unit immediately around it, it did not heat up my kitchen and it stayed warm to the touch but it wasn't hot so despite baking for 40 minutes I was able to open the oven door with my bare hands. . . Anyway, I'm very happy, so far. This is only day one so I will come back and update. ***Update*** Sept. 25. . . 2 months after purchase: I’m still in-love with this item. No electrical issues, whatsoever. Looks like others have had theirs just outright die after working perfectly the first few days or month. Thankfully, that is not the case with mine. Others also reported the door not shutting properly or at all. This, too, has not been an issue. I’ve basically used this item every other day since it arrived. The only thing I will say is that there is definitely room for improvement. But, I’m just not picky enough to care, I am content in my complacency. For those of you who do care about such details: The temp is set in increments of 10 degrees, 5 would be better. Also, if you decide to stop cooking sooner than the time you’ve set it for, the unit never turns off like it would if the timer completed and it’s “finished.” There is no “clear” or reset button or even an on/off button, so if it bothers you that the screen doesn’t power down and displays the minutes remaining until you decide to use it again then you’re forced to just unplug the unit and plug it back in. And when the timer is done the “BEEP” is very loud and it will beep 5 times, no matter what, it will not be silenced until it has completed its beeps. But there is actually an updated model of this item so these features might be improved (although I have no idea) but it might be worth checking that newer model out if these would be issues for you. **8 month update** The plastic on the handle has cracked, but it does not interfere with the functionality and I am still in love. ** 2.5 year update, Jan 2024** Still works with consistent use!

I like this as an air fryer, but, it has issues... The cons: 1. Door feels very flimsy, not sure how long it will last with frequent use. Other reviews show it not staying closed after some time. I can see how this could become a problem. 2. I cannot find additional trays or baking racks for it that FIT. I'd love a second solid baking rack. Tin foil and cooking spray it is on the mesh rack instead. I would buy yhem but Chefman is NOT responding to email or phone messages. NO confidence in product support or warranty, not responding to consumer requests. Bad form Chefman! 3. Anything on very top rack will be overcooked no matter what, it is closest to heat source, you are forced to constantly rotate racks of food to ensure any sort of even cooking. 4. Heat circulation in this unit is not great. Learned this the hard way making a bunch of tater tots. The top ones were little tater bricks. 5. Rotating racks with food on them is also a problem because the racks it comes with do not slide in and out easily on all rows. Messy! 6. No off button. If you accidentally touch the screen, it comes on, you cannot turn it off. You can STOP the cooking process, which I suppose is turning it off, but the screen stays lit up for quite a while waiting to be turned on again. I'd like to just turn it off. I guess I could just unplug it to be sure. 7. Use cooking time and temp suggestions on the food package! Not the pre-sets, or you will have overcooked tater tots. Gosh! (IYKYN) The Pros: 1. It is nice to not have to turn my oven on to cook freezer-foods. Flippin sweet! 2. This definitely cuts down some cooking time. 3. Very easy to clean after use. 4. Very quiet while operating. 5. Does not smell after cooking. I've read reviews of other air fryers people needed to buy filters for to keep odors down, and the need to leave oil in them (? Why?) This one just smells like the food I am cooking, same as if the oven were on, maybe a little stronger as it's not as well insulated as an oven, but I expect to smell my food while it's cooking. No lingering odor after, although I suppose if you let food residue build up in it, it will start to stink. 6. Nice, compact unit, I don't mind leaving it out on the counter. 7. I like that it has a light you can turn on to look at/check food without opening it unnecessarily. Easier than in an oven, it's at eye-level! I still have yet to try cooking meat in it with other things. I'm guessing I will have to trial and error the timing of doing meat, potatoes and vegetables. No way they all go in at same time. So far we've only done freezer food items and roasted vegetables, which came out nice, but again needed to be rotated where if I had used my oven, I could just roast away without any moving them around. Three stars, I'm in the middle on this one. Don't love it but don't hate it. I'll use it as long as it lasts.

I absolutely love this air fryer! It heats up quickly and cooks food evenly and crispy without needing much oil. The digital controls are easy to use, and the preset options make cooking simple and convenient. I really like the window design because I can check on the food without opening it. It’s spacious enough to cook multiple items at once, yet it doesn’t take up too much counter space. Cleaning is also very easy. Great quality and totally worth the price! Highly recommend!
