I bought this to replace a single basket air fryer I’ve owned since they were introduced. Very often I’d need 2 baskets to do my evening meal. I googled all the dual fryers, I wasn’t prepared to pay the price of the all singing all dancing beginning with N.
The reviews for this were good, excellent price, a bit miffed it’s now listed even cheaper but my loss, your gain!
As others have pointed out, the instructions are not great and it take a few minutes to get used to the controls. There are buttons for selecting the type of food you want to cook. This sets a default temperature and time, which you will most likely need to edit, but the actual settings you need will only come from experience with the cooker as you use it. There is a moveable tray inside each food drawer, which are height adjustable. You will need to learn the best position for the tray. If it is low then food is lower down and may not get crispy or brown. If it is too high then food may burn. I recommend placing a liner of some sort in the drawer, to reduce the amount of cleaning required. Aluminium foil works well, or you can buy paper trays designed for the drawers (check measurements). Don’t use baking or parchment paper because the fan will cause this to blow about and it can burn easily if it touches the heating element.
One thing I don’t like is that there is only one start/stop button and this works on both drawers at the same time. I would like to be able to control both independently so that I can check one drawer without stopping the othe drawer.
The power cord is also very short, but similar to kettles and toasters.
There are two hooks at the back to store the cable when not in use but they also keep a decent gap between the fryer and the wall, which is necessary because there are vents at the back that should not be blocked. The fryer will require a space of about two 4-slot toasters, so bear this in mind if your kitchen is a bit small. It is not restricted to being used solely in the kitchen though, so you can use it anywhere convenient with an accessible mains socket. There are no carry handles so it is a bit awkward to move around.
Would certainly recommend to anyone, in fact need to get one for my caravan when we get rolling this spring.
Easy to clean.
Still having a bit of a problem getting timing right for roasts, but everything else has been very successful. Everything cooks quicker so uses less energy. Haven’t used my regular oven at all since I got it. A recipe book to go with this particular air fryer would be good
Be very careful when you tip food out as the crisper rack falls out. I burnt my fingers as I had to grab it as my dog was in the kitchen with me and I didn’t want it to fall on her. There should be a warning in the manual.
My only serious gripe is that the display can be very hard to see in a well-lit area. A bit more beefy backlight (maybe adjustable) would be a big improvement.
Apart from that, it takes a bit of getting the hang of some of the advanced features like synchronised cooking times between the two baskets . But the standard air fryer pre-selected choices, e.g. fries, preheat, etc are all standard and easy to use.
Worth the money.
