CHEFMAN Easy-View Air Fryer – 8 Qt Family Size with Viewing Window, One-Touch Digital Control with 4 Presets, Nonstick & Dishwasher Safe, Broil, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, Auto-Shutoff, Stainless Steel

I FINALLY found an air fryer that actually makes food crispy! I have been on the hunt to find the one and have purchased 4 air fryers in the last 2yrs and all but one shared the same issue and that was they wouldn’t make my food crispy no matter what I did. After my last fail I gave up on having one altogether. Well, I decided to just try looking again and saw this one. A few selling points were it was on sale, it was a 10qt vs a 6qt like my others, I loved the design and the reviews were promising so I figured I would give it a try and am so glad I did! It’s pretty big which I expected since it was a 10qt but it fits perfectly on the counter and the design is very sleek and clean looking! The controls are easy to use and it comes with a pamphlet that has clear instructions and recommendations on what settings to cook specific things on which is helpful. Hopefully it holds up cuz I love this thing!Edited to UPDATE: It’s been 7 months and I have had zero issues with it! Still very happy with my purchase it cooks my food so well and things that you would want crispy are actually crispy! Also, it’s SO EASY to clean! The ONLY thing I would like to mention and it’s just to make you aware more than anything, is not to have any foil or liners loose while cooking cuz it can suck it up into the air/heating element and you’ll have to pull it out or it may burn out the element. I at the last minute had added a piece of foil loosely on top of my food and it started making a weird sound like the motor or air flow was going slowwwww so I opened it and the foil was sucked up into the air/heating element but that’s a me error not an error with the airfryer cuz it’s doing what it’s suppose to!

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.

The media could not be loaded. This is my 2nd air fryer. The first one I used only twice and gave it away. That was 3 years ago and since then I wasn't motivated to have an air fryer. I became interested again when a friend mentioned to me how good her whole chicken came out of her Ninja air fryer. I'm a fan of roasted whole chicken. I decided to research the different brands like Ninja and Cosori. I wasn't willing to spend too much money in case I ended up not liking the idea, again of using an air fryer. I'm not a gadget person. I wanted one that would roast a whole chicken and even a pork shoulder. Therefore, I didn't need the double drawer kind. Also, I have a small kitchen and needed one that didn't take up too much space.After reading the reviews of this Chefman, I was impressed, so I ordered it. Now that I have it I'm more than impressed. It's FANTASTIC! I have not made the chicken or pork shoulder yet. But, I have made pork chops, steak fajitas with the veggies together, eggs, shrimp and grilled cheese. I love it! The taste is wonderful. It browns to perfection. It hardly makes any noise. There is no smoke and no strange smell. I haven't used liners yet but it cleans easily. I wash it by hand and nothing really sticks. You can use any type of pans you use in a regular conventional oven and also the Pyrex glass type. The inside of the drawer is about 9", therefore you can use pans and molds as large as 8". I used one to make scrambled eggs. I have discovered that with this air fryer you only need this item to wash. While with pots and pans on the stove, you would need to wash them anyway, but besides that you also need to clean the stove.I keep my sandwich presser on top but remove it when using either one. This air fryer is big enough but doesn't take a lot of space. Make sure you are aware of the dimensions and measure your space. This takes less space than the toaster oven I had there before.This air fryer is fantastic! It's convenient with a great performance. I love it!I highly recommend 100%.

Love the 8 qt air fryer. Makes great drumsticks and French fries. So easy to use. And dishwasher safe. Can’t wait to try other recipes

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.
