Review: I dithered over whether to get an air fryer for quite a while. Then somebody who had a smart meter mentioned how much cheaper they were to run than an oven, and I thought about how often our oven was switched on just for one small tray with a few things on. I chose this one because I liked the colour and the simplicity of the controls on it, also because it said it was dishwasher safe and that it had a large rectangular base. I always use a deep fryer for chips, but the "hot box" has been used almost daily, instead of the oven, for heating items of BCS, pastry and part-baked bread. Not only does it cook things more quickly and economically, but I also prefer the taste and crispness of things. Plus, even though I chose it partly for being DW safe, it is a doddle to clean by just soaking the inner basket in the outer pot. Only down sides I can think of that might put others off are how much counter,(or cupboard, if you chose to put away between uses, I leave it out), space it takes up, and that the operation of pulling and pushing the "drawer" in or out is a bit clunky. But for me and my household the pros outweigh those by far.
