  • Very good air fryer performance.

  • Large capacity, accommodates a small whole chicken and rotating basket accommodates 800g.
  • Door has a small glass window. Good viewing window with internal light.
  • Unit has a black plastic exterior with stainless steel trim. Fairly smooth surfaces, fairly easy to wipe over.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Large unit can be difficult to store, does not fit easily into a kitchen cupboard. Best left out on a bench top, however takes up bench space.
  • No handles on unit to assist in lifting.
  • No written labelling on controls. Pre-programmed settings are symbols, so may need to refer to the instruction manual initially.
  • Control panel is on the front of the unit, need to bend slightly to view.
  • Cooling fan continues to run after cooking time ends (approx. 20 seconds), can be annoying if you need to wait to restart.
  • Touch control display panel needs to be free from grease as it may not respond, easy to wipe over.
  • Door cannot be removed for easy cleaning. There are many cracks and crevices around hinges which can trap residue and can be awkward to clean.
  • Stainless steel interior can stain and baked on residue can be difficult to remove.
  • Some crevices inside the unit can trap residue. Over time may cause residue to burn on and cause the unit to expel unpleasant odours and smoke during use.
  • Can be difficult to clean around exposed element inside unit, a wire shield reduces splatters around the element and fan. Unable to access around fan to clean.
  • Fiddly to clean the rotating wire basket, wire racks and rotisserie.
  • No prompt to shake or turn the food.
