9 Value for Money
Given its performance and ease of use, this air fryer is considered a great value, especially when compared to more expensive models. It’s affordable and functional.
8 Cooking Performance
Users report consistent, evenly cooked food with a crisp finish, especially for items like french fries, chicken nuggets, and reheated fast food. However, due to its small size, it’s best suited for 1-2 people.
8 Durability
The air fryer is durable with a finish that holds up well over time, particularly if maintained properly. Some users have successfully used it frequently for over a year without issues.
8 Safety Features
The auto shut-off feature provides an added layer of safety. However, there have been minor reports of timer glitches that required attention.
7 Temperature Control
The analog temperature control is easy to use, but lacks precision compared to digital options. Users must rely on the dial, which may not be as accurate as digital readouts.
7 Versatility
While it is highly effective for specific foods like fries and nuggets, its small capacity limits the range of foods that can be prepared at one time.
7 Noise Level
The air fryer is relatively quiet, definitely quieter than a microwave, which makes it suitable for a quieter kitchen environment. However, user experiences on noise vary.
