Chefman TurboFry® Touch Air Fryer, XL 8-Qt Family Size, One-Touch Digital Control Presets, French Fries, Chicken, Meat, Fish, Nonstick Dishwasher-Safe Parts, Automatic Shutoff, Stainless Steel

First off, we got this at a steal of a price! Over 60% off retail. Second, this is our first experience using an air fryer. Although we've heard nothing but good things about them, we were skeptical about whether or not it would just become another kitchen appliance that looks pretty, but never gets used. We'll lemme tell you... It's just as big of a game-changer as people say! We use this thing every single day, and often times more than just once! We are wasting so much less these days. Leftovers are actually getting reheated and eaten instead of just being tossed after languishing in our fridge for a few days! Plus, it's healthier than deep frying. I have a picky teen who has changed habits all together. This fryer is big enough to cook 4 servings of most stuff, and the biggest complaint that friends who we talked to prior to purchasing was that they regretted buying too small of a fryer. This 6qt basket is perfect for us.A few bonus things we've discovered thus far:Chicken nuggets and French fries from a fast food window taste just as good, if not better than they were fresh out of the bag. I can't tell you how many times I've thrown away food that wasn't eaten, and then 2hrs later, a little one is hungry again. Now I can heat up those happy meal leftovers all at once, and the best part is, it doesn't require multiple steps. Toss food in and walk away. Perfect!Brats and hotdogs are so tasty and easy! I even toss buns in when they're 3/4 of the way done so you have a slightly toasted bun. Haven't tried sauerkraut yet, but it's super easy to add.Fried chicken is MORE TASTY than fresh out of the box.Frozen mini pizzas take 7 minutes. No preheating.Garlic toast to go with spaghetti and meatballs? Also 7 minutes!Lastly, clean-up is ridiculously easy. Many times, just wiping the basket with a moist paper towel does the job. Grease requires the addition of a tiny drop of dishsoap.When we purchased this air fryer my husband cynically said, "Welcome to 2011, wife." He wasn't wrong! LoL. The only thing I'd do differently is to buy one years ago! It has literally changed so much about daily life. Go out and buy one now! I'd give this 10 stars if I could. We've has ours for a few months. We're pleased with this model. It does take up a lot of counter space, but it makes sense considering the capacity, and it's worthy of the space. I might sacrifice the Toaster though. It's kind of irrelevant now.

This AirFryer is a fantastic tool in my kitchen. Its large capacity makes it perfect for families or meal prepping, allowing you to cook generous portions with ease. The one-touch digital controls are intuitive and responsive, making operation effortless.Despite its family-sized capacity, the air fryer remains lightweight, making it easy to move and store. Cooking performance is consistent and reliable, and evenly cooked food as expected. The dishwasher-safe basket and tray make cleanup a easy..

This air fryer is super. It is much better than the one it replaced. This air fryer has a much bigger basket, cooks food much betted, and crisps foods very well. The controls are easy to use, and cleanup is easy after use.

This review will not be complete because I have not yet cooked with the air fryer. I bought it to replace the one I have struggled with for years which frankly did more things than I needed and took a lot of time and energy to figure it out. If I want toast, I'll use my toaster. For the price I paid for that machine. I didn't expect the trays that came with it to react to the food and look disgusting and battered after one or two uses and the company would do nothing about it. I have a lot of appliances by that company, and I am slowly finding out that brand name does not mean goodcustomer service or an exemplary machine. It was not the greatest device as for the price and brand name. I expected a lot better. This new air fryer is very sturdy looking and came well packed on time. I watched it as directed and I'm waiting to order some food that I can cook in it. I have read the manual which is very straightforward and it seems that this will be exactly what I wanted: a sturdy uncomplicated machine that will hold a whole small chicken. Is that too much to ask? It is very attractive , sleek, and does not take up a lot of counter space. The basket slides in and out easily and it will be interesting to see how easy the machine works and how well it cooks the food. Stay tuned. THIS is a good, Basic machine that does exactly what you tell it to do without all the fancy trappings that I don't need. I followed the instructions for chicken wings, and they turned out perfect. Once the machine cooled down, it was very easy to wash out the basket. It takes up much less room on my counter yet the basket capacity is larger and I can put a whole Cornish hen in it. This is obviously the appliance for me, and I am very pleased with it so far.

This air fryer worked great. But after 3 years it just quit working. I started it up then it just shut down, display went dark. I am giving it a 4 because it should last longer.

I’ve been using the Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer XL (8-Quart) for a few weeks now, and it’s made weeknight meals so much easier. The large capacity is perfect for our family—everything from French fries to chicken thighs cooks evenly and comes out with a satisfying crisp without needing a drop of oil. The presets on the digital touch screen make it easy to get started quickly, and I really like the built-in shake reminder, which keeps food from overcooking on one side. The moisture level is perfect and it doesn’t leave a smell.Cleanup is simple thanks to the nonstick, dishwasher-safe basket, and the stainless steel finish looks sleek on the counter. The unit stays relatively quiet during use and doesn’t overheat the kitchen like an oven. While the touchscreen can sometimes lag for a second or two, it’s nothing major. Overall, it’s a great value for the size, performance, and ease of use.

I’ve been loving this Chefman air fryer! It’s super easy to use with the touch screen and presets, and everything I’ve mad fries, chicken, even fish—comes out great. The size is perfect for family meals, and cleaning up is a breeze since the parts go right in the dishwasher. Plus, it looks nice on the counter. Definitely a solid buy!
