ChefmanTurboFry Touch 8 Quart Air Fryer w/ XL Viewing Window & Advanced Digital Display, Fry with Less Oil for Healthy Food, Adjustable Temperature Control, Cooking Presets & Dishwasher-Safe Basket

Okay, had to come write a review because I know I would have appreciated reading it! Haha!I specifically chose this air fryer because of the window, and I’m so glad I did. It is literally the bomb! I did a lot of research and read tons of reviews. I didn’t go for the XL drawer style because I heard they were a challenge to clean, and I honestly didn’t need that much space. But I wanted something bigger than a 5qt. So I got this 8qt. Honestly, I thought it would be bigger? But it’s still a good size and DEF wouldn't go smaller. Basically all the reviews I read had lovers and haters. But overall I decided to give it a try. Some said it smelled like plastic. But another reviewer mentioned after cleaning the basket per instructions, they took it outside and ran it through a few cycles. I did the same. It had a slight smell, but nothing crazy. After I brought it in and it cooled, I tried my first experiment of frozen pretzels with pepperoni and cheese. It said 400 for 15 on the box. I have watched so many videos by now I knew to decrease everything. So I chose 350 for 5 mins and that was ‘just’ perfect’!!! I probably could have done 4 mins! WATCHING THROUGH THE WINDOW WAS GOLDENNNNNN!!!! My word!!!! Get this one!!! I love it! I can’t wait to try something else in it!!! The other common complaint was chipping of the coating. 🤷🏽‍♀️Instructions say…no aerosol oil sprays!!! So yeah, I see people on YT using Pam? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️So, yeah, don’t do that and maybe it won’t chip! Walmart and TJ’s has a Avocado non-aerosol spray high smoke point. Bam! Get it! This seems super well made, considering. I know it’s not a super expensive appliance…but it does the job. It will pay for itself, not having to run my oven. The digital pad is quiet. The noise of the fryer is very quiet. It was pretty hot after running it a few times at 400 for 10-15 mins. So put it in a good place. I had to wait for it to cool down before I could move it. It has the 4 preset settings, which I think will basically be a short cut to the temp you want and easily adjusted with the buttons. I barely had to press them, was great! I’m super excited about the possibilities and can’t wait to try some more stuff. I’ll come back and update later with how it’s going after awhile. I think after all my research…this is a good one! The window…seriously guys, it’s the best! ✅🙌🏼🎉 Oh, btw, pretzel was awesome and totally cooked through and soft…in 5 mins from frozen! This is gonna be amazing!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼Update-Almost two months in, and still loving it. Now I KNOW the window is a must! Like, how do other Air Fryers not do this, if it’s possible? Working great, easy to clean. Use it all the time! Would absolutely buy it again. Only thing wrong so far…the Logo is rubbing off right where I use my thumb to pull the drawer out. Not a big deal, I actually tried to just rub the whole thing off, will have to work at it. But maybe the Manufacturer can put it somewhere else? Other than that…awesomeness continues! 🙌🏼 One other note, I was worried that since this model doesn’t have the ‘basket’ type you couldn’t ‘pour it out’ because the bottom tray would come out? That was wrong. You can pour it out just like the basket ones. The silicone stoppers hold the tray down snug enough for you to pour your fries into a bowl. Just FYI, if you were worried about it. :) No need to worry, works great, less stuff to clean!✅Almost a year now! Use it…I’d say pretty much every week for something! Window is still my favorite. Touch screen on top is another thing I do like.Unfortunately, the rubber stoppers have been breaking off one by one. Poor design. The little spikes that hold them in place just end up getting cut over time with all the in and out, and thus…break off. So now I have two spots in the basket where the nonstick has come off…and I’m sure will start to rust. Technically it’s not touching the food. But overall, if they came up with a new design for those tabs, it’d work better. Now I always have to hold the bottom in with a spoon or something when I dump the basket, so I’d doesn’t fall out.Still love it. Maybe I can get new rubber stoppers?

This is the right size for a family.I brought this to replace the one my son had.Is bigger than the old one but it works great and looks nice easy to work and cooks good.

Good size, fast cooking and easy cleaning .

On consumer reports, this was the highest-rated air fryer for a number of reasons: 1) very large food basket, 2) easy to clean, 3) simple controls. Many other friends and family have air fryers that we have seen or used. Many have deficiencies in one, two or all three of the points above. This unit has a simple, very large, slide-out drawer with an all-metal body. There is a removable tray in the bottom. Both items can simply be rinsed off and dried, or use dish soap and a soft sponge to clean (don't used anything abrasives as it is non-stick) - and supposedly dishwasher safe (I would not recommend this for non-stick). The controls are intuitive and simple. Four food pre-settings (fries, meat, fish, chicken) which you can push for an auto-selected time/temp combo OR you can press the time/temp button and dial them both up and down manually for whatever setting you wish. You then just press the dial, and it starts. Halfway through the time, it will beep and light up to tell you to shake or turn the food. Now for the oddities. The unit is large, and it fits into a deep corner of our counter. There is a plug far to the back. The unit has no power button. The scant instructions state just to plug and unplug the unit from the wall. Although it's a good practice not to leave any appliances plugged in, it is inconvenient. I went so far as to buy a Plugrand 20amp double break lighted switched adaptor off Amazon so I could turn the unit on/off without pulling out of the unit from the corner to unplug or re-plug (you can see it in the included picture on the left side). Next, the basket tray has four silicone rings - however the drawing on the instructions do not show these nor mentioned them. At first, I thought they were packing to keep the tray from rattling around during shipping and scratching the coating. Apparently, other people have asked the same thing online. I confirmed they are meant to always be there. Note: There's a trick to pulling and replacing the tray at an angle which you will learn quickly. There is very little in the way of cooking suggestions, or cooking instructions included with the air fryer. Online, I found a rule of thumb from oven directions converted to air fryer that seems to work for this unit: Reduce oven temp by 25 degrees and cut the cook time by about 20%. We cook a lot of small frozen items like chicken tenders, patties, vegetable rolls and other similar items that either take way too long in a large oven which we heat up for a very small amount of food OR cook in the microwave which is quick but leaves the food soggy. This fryer has proved to be faster, more efficient and far better and crispier results than oven, microwave or even a toaster oven. It is like all three appliances in one!

I love it. Easy to use. Nice, clear display. Like being able to see the food as it cooks. Easy clean up.Nice size basket

Excellent product as described ease of use features an easy cleanup

This model was a little bigger and taller than I expected, and it can suit 1-2 people, maybe 3 if you want a portable model. I'm using it practically every day for a variety of foods. If you have soups or greasy foods I suggest you get a tinfoil container (from any dollar store) to fit inside the basket. I also bought a backup pack of the little rubber grips that hold the inside panel. This model is easy to use with a knob controlling temperature and time. Just make sure to unplug the air fryer when not in use! I also recommend that if you have shelves above the air fryer to angle it away from the shelves (when cooking) as it does blow out hot air through the back. However, using the air fryer definitely creates less heat in the room compared to an oven or gas stove. So far, I've cooked vegan meats, samosas, potatoes, veggies (in tin foil), soup (in tin foil, toast, pakoras, frozen meals, dumplings in water in a tin, and corn cobs. I especially love making toast so easily using the air fryer. It's easy to wipe down the fryer, and to wash the basket and inside panel. As additional information, I researched before I bought as I needed a good quality but lower wattage fryer for an old house with old wiring and so far so good!

Exelente compra, llegó en exelentes condiciones, y antes de la fecha de entrega.

Lo obsequié a un familiar pero se que lo usa bastante y está muy contento, pues le permite hacer variantes en la forma de preparar muchos alimentos, muy práctica y sencilla.

This appliance is worth the money I paid; cooking with it twice, sometimes three times a day. Convenience.After 15 months, I notice it is taking longer durations to cook the food Items I used to cook successfully by half the time.

Great option for cooking healthy meals. The only downside I have founded so far and it is cooking with any air fryer and that is it dries out the bread when making grilled cheese. Makes great bread crumbs and crutons though. I think I need to use a different type of bread for sandwiches and not just sliced white bread. Great french fries and potato wedges and I even made super scalloped potatoes. So Yummy! I have made stuffed tomatoes with parmesean cheese and they were incredible. The recipes are endless. This model has very even cooking which I like and so easy to use. My favourite feature is the large window in the front of the unit. You can see the progress without opening the drawer. The size of the drawer is excellent for family cooking. Worth every penny. My next recipe will be garlic shrimp. Can't wait. Bon Apetit! Thank you for such a great product!
