I really like this thing.
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!

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
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!

Worth the Price
I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Game changer in my kitchen — easy to use, super versatile!
I’ve been using the Chefman Multifunctional Airfryer for a few weeks now and honestly, I don’t know how I lived without it. As a busy college student, I needed something that could help me make quick, healthy meals without a lot of hassle — and this air fryer totally delivers.It was really easy to set up right out of the box. The buttons are super responsive and straightforward — no confusing menus or weird settings. I love that you can manually adjust the temperature and time depending on what you’re cooking, giving you full control. Whether I’m air frying chicken, roasting veggies, or baking cookies, everything comes out perfect.One of the best parts is that I don’t even have to worry about washing a bunch of pans anymore. I can make an entire meal — protein, veggies, sides — all in the air fryer at once. It’s the perfect size for my small apartment kitchen — large enough to cook for 2–3 people, but compact enough to fit comfortably on my counter without taking up all the space. Plus, I don’t have to stand around the kitchen babysitting everything; I can just set it and go back to studying or relaxing.Cleanup is also super quick — the trays wipe clean easily and are dishwasher safe. The build quality feels really solid, not cheap or flimsy at all. I’ve been using it almost daily and it still works like new, with no problems. It came exactly as described and honestly exceeded my expectations for the price.If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use air fryer that saves time, cuts down on dishes, fits easily in smaller spaces, and holds up with regular use, this one’s totally worth it. Highly recommend!

Good for summer when you want to make your active kiddos a quick lunch
The box came with a hole in it but wasn’t damaged and works great! Everything is simple to figure out, the buttons have pictures of a chicken drum, and a cake, so even my 7 year old can use this. I love the black color, does get smudged pretty quickly, yet easy to clean, and comes with 3 trays, or racks if you will, size is perfect for a small to moderate size family can cook plenty in it, and cooks things thoroughly.

The food comes out perfect every time.
this doesn’t take much space but it has 3 shelves so you can fit lots in it. it cooks really well. I have used the air fryer lots and it was so perfect. I use the oven to make cookies and they came out so perfect. I plan on making lots more but so far I am so very happy with this I would recommend highly. my old air fryer only did air fry and sometimes it would blow the fuse. this one works so well and it never blows the fuse.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.

Didn’t work out for me, not what I was hoping for.
Ok, I try not to leave bad reviews because I feel bad. I understand that a product is created by people and people are relying on that product so I hate to feel that any negativity I may have experienced would reflect poorly on that product and it’s origins. I’m going to preface this by saying maybe for other households, this might be a mighty little appliance. It didn’t do for me. I was looking for something to replace my air fryer and my convection toaster oven, but I needed it to be something that would function at least 85% as well for both appliances. The good points – It’s cute. It’s very streamlined, almost like a little space capsule. Doesn’t have a large footprint on the counter; it’s so shiny and black and came with all of its accessories all perfectly packaged. And for the record, I did not notice any gas off odors while cooking. I won’t say that was any issue for me. No problems there. So I took everything out and washed/prepped it for my first use (and the only one as it would turn out). I wanted to make fries. Now I’m a french fry fanatic. I mean, I love them. Everyone in my life knows that the key to my heart is french fries. Co-workers need some assistance at work? Sure, if you want to return the favor…bring me some fries. I don’t need Starbucks man, carb me up! So here I am; I figure, what’s easier to do than frozen fries. I put some in all the top 2 layers and put 2 frozen beef patties on the bottom layer. Well, I’ll be darned if that thing took forever to cook the food. I mean it; it was like 3 cycles of 20 minutes each. I could not figure what was wrong. It was hot; it’s not like it didn’t get hot. I rotated the trays; I shuffled things around It wasn’t overfilled although on that note, I don’t think it was what I would consider a family size oven. Of course, I’m not comparing it to a standard oven, it just seemed like the usable space inside was not enough to accommodate the amount of food needed to feed more than 1-2 with ease. I’m not a large person; 5 feet tall and 100 pounds soaking wet; my husband is 6 feet and tipping the scales at 220 so I guess the 2 of us is like 3 average-ish people. If we had kids, somebody was not going to get fed. So after all that trying and shuffling and watching and waiting, in the end; it suddenly went over the threshold for yumability in a heartbeat. I figured I’d go all out and toast the buns; it worked only nominally better. Not the best toasting, that also took some finagling. Maybe it wasn’t the machine, maybe it was me; it sensed my doubt and could not live up to my hopes and dreams. Well, it was a very sad dinner that we had that night with the dried out fries and the dried out burgers. I was bitter. And then I had to wash those trays. Nope; that was not fun. I soaked them and scrubbed them with a brush and got them somehow clean again, but I had already come to the conclusion that our short relationship had come to an end. I sent it packing the next morning; I hadn’t even had it a whole 24 hours. I will give you that I did not test out it’s other functions. But if it don’t air fry and toast well for me; then it’s got to go. I won’t say don’t give it a try yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. I’ve sometimes ready glowing reviews for things that I thought was madness and sometimes took a chance on items that didn’t get great reviews for which the product performed like a rock star. Maybe I didn’t give it enough tries. I can’t say because that moment has passed. I did end up buying a different brand’s air fryer convection oven grill appliance and I gotta say I love it. Shop around, read the reviews, decide for yourself. Just throwing my thoughts out in the universe for absorption.

Of course, I’m not comparing it to a standard oven, it just seemed like the usable space inside was not enough to accommodate the amount of food needed to feed more than 1-2 with ease. I’m not a large person; 5 feet tall and 100 pounds soaking wet; my husband is 6 feet and tipping the scales at 220 so I guess the 2 of us is like 3 average-ish people. If we had kids, somebody was not going to get fed. So after all that trying and shuffling and watching and waiting, in the end; it suddenly went over the threshold for yumability in a heartbeat. I figured I’d go all out and toast the buns; it worked only nominally better. Not the best toasting, that also took some finagling. Maybe it wasn’t the machine, maybe it was me; it sensed my doubt and could not live up to my hopes and dreams. Well, it was a very sad dinner that we had that night with the dried out fries and the dried out burgers. I was bitter. And then I had to wash those trays. Nope; that was not fun. I soaked them and scrubbed them with a brush and got them somehow clean again, but I had already come to the conclusion that our short relationship had come to an end. I sent it packing the next morning; I hadn’t even had it a whole 24 hours. I will give you that I did not test out it’s other functions. But if it don’t air fry and toast well for me; then it’s got to go. I won’t say don’t give it a try yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. I’ve sometimes ready glowing reviews for things that I thought was madness and sometimes took a chance on items that didn’t get great reviews for which the product performed like a rock star. Maybe I didn’t give it enough tries. I can’t say because that moment has passed. I did end up buying a different brand’s air fryer convection oven grill appliance and I gotta say I love it. Shop around, read the reviews, decide for yourself. Just throwing my thoughts out in the universe for absorption.

I really like this thing.
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!

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
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!

Worth the Price
I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Game changer in my kitchen — easy to use, super versatile!
I’ve been using the Chefman Multifunctional Airfryer for a few weeks now and honestly, I don’t know how I lived without it. As a busy college student, I needed something that could help me make quick, healthy meals without a lot of hassle — and this air fryer totally delivers.It was really easy to set up right out of the box. The buttons are super responsive and straightforward — no confusing menus or weird settings. I love that you can manually adjust the temperature and time depending on what you’re cooking, giving you full control. Whether I’m air frying chicken, roasting veggies, or baking cookies, everything comes out perfect.One of the best parts is that I don’t even have to worry about washing a bunch of pans anymore. I can make an entire meal — protein, veggies, sides — all in the air fryer at once. It’s the perfect size for my small apartment kitchen — large enough to cook for 2–3 people, but compact enough to fit comfortably on my counter without taking up all the space. Plus, I don’t have to stand around the kitchen babysitting everything; I can just set it and go back to studying or relaxing.Cleanup is also super quick — the trays wipe clean easily and are dishwasher safe. The build quality feels really solid, not cheap or flimsy at all. I’ve been using it almost daily and it still works like new, with no problems. It came exactly as described and honestly exceeded my expectations for the price.If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use air fryer that saves time, cuts down on dishes, fits easily in smaller spaces, and holds up with regular use, this one’s totally worth it. Highly recommend!

Good for summer when you want to make your active kiddos a quick lunch
The box came with a hole in it but wasn’t damaged and works great! Everything is simple to figure out, the buttons have pictures of a chicken drum, and a cake, so even my 7 year old can use this. I love the black color, does get smudged pretty quickly, yet easy to clean, and comes with 3 trays, or racks if you will, size is perfect for a small to moderate size family can cook plenty in it, and cooks things thoroughly.

The food comes out perfect every time.
this doesn’t take much space but it has 3 shelves so you can fit lots in it. it cooks really well. I have used the air fryer lots and it was so perfect. I use the oven to make cookies and they came out so perfect. I plan on making lots more but so far I am so very happy with this I would recommend highly. my old air fryer only did air fry and sometimes it would blow the fuse. this one works so well and it never blows the fuse.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.

Didn’t work out for me, not what I was hoping for.
Ok, I try not to leave bad reviews because I feel bad. I understand that a product is created by people and people are relying on that product so I hate to feel that any negativity I may have experienced would reflect poorly on that product and it’s origins. I’m going to preface this by saying maybe for other households, this might be a mighty little appliance. It didn’t do for me. I was looking for something to replace my air fryer and my convection toaster oven, but I needed it to be something that would function at least 85% as well for both appliances. The good points – It’s cute. It’s very streamlined, almost like a little space capsule. Doesn’t have a large footprint on the counter; it’s so shiny and black and came with all of its accessories all perfectly packaged. And for the record, I did not notice any gas off odors while cooking. I won’t say that was any issue for me. No problems there. So I took everything out and washed/prepped it for my first use (and the only one as it would turn out). I wanted to make fries. Now I’m a french fry fanatic. I mean, I love them. Everyone in my life knows that the key to my heart is french fries. Co-workers need some assistance at work? Sure, if you want to return the favor…bring me some fries. I don’t need Starbucks man, carb me up! So here I am; I figure, what’s easier to do than frozen fries. I put some in all the top 2 layers and put 2 frozen beef patties on the bottom layer. Well, I’ll be darned if that thing took forever to cook the food. I mean it; it was like 3 cycles of 20 minutes each. I could not figure what was wrong. It was hot; it’s not like it didn’t get hot.

I rotated the trays; I shuffled things around It wasn’t overfilled although on that note, I don’t think it was what I would consider a family size oven. Of course, I’m not comparing it to a standard oven, it just seemed like the usable space inside was not enough to accommodate the amount of food needed to feed more than 1-2 with ease. I’m not a large person; 5 feet tall and 100 pounds soaking wet; my husband is 6 feet and tipping the scales at 220 so I guess the 2 of us is like 3 average-ish people. If we had kids, somebody was not going to get fed. So after all that trying and shuffling and watching and waiting, in the end; it suddenly went over the threshold for yumability in a heartbeat. I figured I’d go all out and toast the buns; it worked only nominally better. Not the best toasting, that also took some finagling. Maybe it wasn’t the machine, maybe it was me; it sensed my doubt and could not live up to my hopes and dreams. Well, it was a very sad dinner that we had that night with the dried out fries and the dried out burgers. I was bitter. And then I had to wash those trays. Nope; that was not fun. I soaked them and scrubbed them with a brush and got them somehow clean again, but I had already come to the conclusion that our short relationship had come to an end. I sent it packing the next morning; I hadn’t even had it a whole 24 hours. I will give you that I did not test out it’s other functions. But if it don’t air fry and toast well for me; then it’s got to go. I won’t say don’t give it a try yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. I’ve sometimes ready glowing reviews for things that I thought was madness and sometimes took a chance on items that didn’t get great reviews for which the product performed like a rock star. Maybe I didn’t give it enough tries. I can’t say because that moment has passed. I did end up buying a different brand’s air fryer convection oven grill appliance and I gotta say I love it. Shop around, read the reviews, decide for yourself. Just throwing my thoughts out in the universe for absorption.

I really like this thing.
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!

Perfect Size, Love The Three Cooking Racks, A Definite Good Buy!
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!

Worth the Price
I bought a basket style air fryer in the past. The basket was not stainless but supposedly had a non-stick surface. I used it even though the baskets was getting gunked up after repeated use. Luckily I broke the basket and searched for a stainless interior appliance. The Chefman has three basket/trays that are dishwasher safe and clean easily with soap and water. There is also a removable tray that catches drippings that is easy to clean too. No preheat necessary. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is large but luckily it fits in the space my old basket air fryer did. I highly recommend this appliance. I also considered the multifunction of this product. It’s great.

It’s a very nice air fryer, but it has some quirks
Overall this is a pretty nice setup. Fits lots of food. First try I put in 3 chicken breasts on the top tray and potatos and onions on the bottom. Cooked everything beautifully. I was amazed. That said, I turned into a crazy scientist and cooked my heart out after that. Where this form factor has it’s flaw is actually in the tray system. It comes with these metal grated trays, and you gotta be careful with them, cuz they have sharp cuts to the grating and I actually cut myself on them. That and some food needs flipped halfway through, and trying to do that with those scorching hot metal trays is a real pain. And that’s pretty much my only gripe with this model. Wish I could find better trays but so far no luck. So minus one star for the trays cutting my hand. The saving grace though? The window. The window is SUPER useful for checking your food periodically. Makes it easy to get the food just right. AND it doubles as a toaster oven, so that’s pretty cool.

Game changer in my kitchen — easy to use, super versatile!
I’ve been using the Chefman Multifunctional Airfryer for a few weeks now and honestly, I don’t know how I lived without it. As a busy college student, I needed something that could help me make quick, healthy meals without a lot of hassle — and this air fryer totally delivers.It was really easy to set up right out of the box. The buttons are super responsive and straightforward — no confusing menus or weird settings. I love that you can manually adjust the temperature and time depending on what you’re cooking, giving you full control. Whether I’m air frying chicken, roasting veggies, or baking cookies, everything comes out perfect.One of the best parts is that I don’t even have to worry about washing a bunch of pans anymore. I can make an entire meal — protein, veggies, sides — all in the air fryer at once. It’s the perfect size for my small apartment kitchen — large enough to cook for 2–3 people, but compact enough to fit comfortably on my counter without taking up all the space. Plus, I don’t have to stand around the kitchen babysitting everything; I can just set it and go back to studying or relaxing.Cleanup is also super quick — the trays wipe clean easily and are dishwasher safe. The build quality feels really solid, not cheap or flimsy at all. I’ve been using it almost daily and it still works like new, with no problems. It came exactly as described and honestly exceeded my expectations for the price.If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use air fryer that saves time, cuts down on dishes, fits easily in smaller spaces, and holds up with regular use, this one’s totally worth it. Highly recommend!

Good for summer when you want to make your active kiddos a quick lunch
The box came with a hole in it but wasn’t damaged and works great! Everything is simple to figure out, the buttons have pictures of a chicken drum, and a cake, so even my 7 year old can use this. I love the black color, does get smudged pretty quickly, yet easy to clean, and comes with 3 trays, or racks if you will, size is perfect for a small to moderate size family can cook plenty in it, and cooks things thoroughly.

The food comes out perfect every time.
this doesn’t take much space but it has 3 shelves so you can fit lots in it. it cooks really well. I have used the air fryer lots and it was so perfect. I use the oven to make cookies and they came out so perfect. I plan on making lots more but so far I am so very happy with this I would recommend highly. my old air fryer only did air fry and sometimes it would blow the fuse. this one works so well and it never blows the fuse.

Don’t like the touchscreen/touchpad controls, but it functions great
So far so good with this item.I’ve used it a handful of times since getting it, chicken, potatos, home made fries etc and its worked great and all food cooked it in has tasted good. i like the 3 racks it includes, the rotissarie is a nice addition as well. it heats up pretty quick and cools fast. even when using it at 400 degrees it doesnt get too hot on the outside.With the three racks, and a drip pan at the bottom cleaning is pretty simple, as long as one keeps up with it. it has a fairly large opening, so cleaning the inside is pretty simple as well.although i have not had any issues with this one, i am knocking a star off for the use of touch screen controls. it seems every product i have owned with these, including a couple “power air fryer XL”s a few years back have had this go out after a few months or weeks of use. i much prefer physical buttons and knobs. i dont know if it has to do with reaching such high temperatures the soldner or connections go out or what, but it seems to happen a lot or i am just very unlucky.That being said, this item so far is good. if the touch screen goes out ill come back to update but im hoping that doesnt happen.

We bought this air fryer to replace the air fryer we’ve had for over four years. I knew I’d love it just due to the rack system alone. Our previous air fryer had a basket and after the first use with this one I would never go back. Here are some pros and cons we’ve found after a month of use.Pros–It is spacious. I can fit 4-5 chicken breasts easy.-Is relatively easy to clean between uses. I wrap the bottom tray in tinfoil for messier stuff to help. All accessories are machine washable.-Screen is bright and clear so I can time remaining from the other side of the kitchen.-Food cooks quickly and evenly.Cons-Appliance is quite large. I was shocked how big the whole thing is compared to the area actually used for cooking. This is something I just hadn’t looked at close enough when initially researching it (no fault of the seller).-My biggest complaint is that the screen seems to be hard to click buttons on. I find myself struggling to change time/temperature commonly as it almost doesn’t detect my finger pressure.Despite the cons I would recommend this air fryer. I’m already looking past the button issue as the food it makes is perfect. I have yet to try the rotisserie function but will in the near future. I’m happy with my purchase and would purchase again. My only hope is that they fix the display/button sensitivity.

Didn’t work out for me, not what I was hoping for.
Ok, I try not to leave bad reviews because I feel bad. I understand that a product is created by people and people are relying on that product so I hate to feel that any negativity I may have experienced would reflect poorly on that product and it’s origins. I’m going to preface this by saying maybe for other households, this might be a mighty little appliance. It didn’t do for me. I was looking for something to replace my air fryer and my convection toaster oven, but I needed it to be something that would function at least 85% as well for both appliances. The good points – It’s cute. It’s very streamlined, almost like a little space capsule. Doesn’t have a large footprint on the counter; it’s so shiny and black and came with all of its accessories all perfectly packaged. And for the record, I did not notice any gas off odors while cooking. I won’t say that was any issue for me. No problems there. So I took everything out and washed/prepped it for my first use (and the only one as it would turn out). I wanted to make fries. Now I’m a french fry fanatic. I mean, I love them.

Well, I’ll be darned if that thing took forever to cook the food. I mean it; it was like 3 cycles of 20 minutes each. I could not figure what was wrong. It was hot; it’s not like it didn’t get hot. I rotated the trays; I shuffled things around It wasn’t overfilled although on that note, I don’t think it was what I would consider a family size oven. Of course, I’m not comparing it to a standard oven, it just seemed like the usable space inside was not enough to accommodate the amount of food needed to feed more than 1-2 with ease. I’m not a large person; 5 feet tall and 100 pounds soaking wet; my husband is 6 feet and tipping the scales at 220 so I guess the 2 of us is like 3 average-ish people. If we had kids, somebody was not going to get fed. So after all that trying and shuffling and watching and waiting, in the end; it suddenly went over the threshold for yumability in a heartbeat. I figured I’d go all out and toast the buns; it worked only nominally better. Not the best toasting, that also took some finagling. Maybe it wasn’t the machine, maybe it was me; it sensed my doubt and could not live up to my hopes and dreams. Well, it was a very sad dinner that we had that night with the dried out fries and the dried out burgers. I was bitter. And then I had to wash those trays. Nope; that was not fun. I soaked them and scrubbed them with a brush and got them somehow clean again, but I had already come to the conclusion that our short relationship had come to an end. I sent it packing the next morning; I hadn’t even had it a whole 24 hours. I will give you that I did not test out it’s other functions. But if it don’t air fry and toast well for me; then it’s got to go. I won’t say don’t give it a try yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. I’ve sometimes ready glowing reviews for things that I thought was madness and sometimes took a chance on items that didn’t get great reviews for which the product performed like a rock star. Maybe I didn’t give it enough tries. I can’t say because that moment has passed. I did end up buying a different brand’s air fryer convection oven grill appliance and I gotta say I love it. Shop around, read the reviews, decide for yourself. Just throwing my thoughts out in the universe for absorption.
