CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator,…

Save time, money and heating up the house
We’ve had this Chefman multifunctional unit for almost a year now, so I feel it’s a fair review for regular use. This thing is a BEAST! We love that we can make several things at the same time and bam, dinner is done. It handles different types of foods with ease (we’ve made brats with fries and brussels all at the same time, nothing was overdone/burnt, everything was perfect!) It’s awesome for meal prep for me in particular because I work 8on/6off. I can quickly and easily make 4 days’ worth of food without having to deal with much of a mess either! Cleaning up is a breeze, the racks can handle some weight, the machine overall is pretty durable. We haven’t used the rotisserie or dehydrator functions yet (rotisserie hasn’t been used due to having to find a small enough bird and I totally forgot it dehydrates) but we plan on using both of those ASAP since we love jerky and rotisserie chicken. We recently got 8.5 in square air fryer liners; they work well with this also, making clean-up even easier!SERIOUSLY – BUY THIS THING IF YOU WANT TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND NOT HEAT UP YOUR HOUSE!

Happy as heck
My air fryer toaster oven died that I loved and turns out they no longer make that style so I started looking around this fit what we needed and was a pretty good deal. Had it a few months now and it’s simple enough for my husband and preteen to use and that’s perfect for us. Works really well too

I really like this thing.
Everyone kept telling me they love their air fryer, so I wanted one. I became obsessed with finding the perfect one for me so after a month I settled on this one. First thing I made was berry crisp, threw the stuff together in a couple single serve bake dishes, set it to 350 for 40 minutes and it was perfect. No preheating, no heating the entire apartment, just perfect crisp. There were several complaints from other buyers who said there were missing pieces or their units didn’t work, or initially worked and then stopped working. Mine came very well packaged, no damage, all parts included, so I have no complaints there but I understand if maybe some sellers are less thorough or trustworthy in regards to the products they provide. Some complained that it was loud. This is the most quiet kitchen appliance I have ever purchased, it makes less noise than my microwave. Also, I’m not quite sure why people complain that the drip tray isn’t large enough, it’s literally the same dimensions as the bottom of the unit, so any spill-over should land on the tray unless you’re filling this unit over capacity somehow, not sure how that is possible. I also want to mention that although heat did radiate from the unit immediately around it, it did not heat up my kitchen and it stayed warm to the touch but it wasn’t hot so despite baking for 40 minutes I was able to open the oven door with my bare hands. . . Anyway, I’m very happy, so far. This is only day one so I will come back and update.***Update*** Sept. 25. . . 2 months after purchase:I’m still in-love with this item. No electrical issues, whatsoever. Looks like others have had theirs just outright die after working perfectly the first few days or month. Thankfully, that is not the case with mine. Others also reported the door not shutting properly or at all. This, too, has not been an issue. I’ve basically used this item every other day since it arrived. The only thing I will say is that there is definitely room for improvement. But, I’m just not picky enough to care, I am content in my complacency. For those of you who do care about such details: The temp is set in increments of 10 degrees, 5 would be better. Also, if you decide to stop cooking sooner than the time you’ve set it for, the unit never turns off like it would if the timer completed and it’s “finished.” There is no “clear” or reset button or even an on/off button, so if it bothers you that the screen doesn’t power down and displays the minutes remaining until you decide to use it again then you’re forced to just unplug the unit and plug it back in. And when the timer is done the “BEEP” is very loud and it will beep 5 times, no matter what, it will not be silenced until it has completed its beeps. But there is actually an updated model of this item so these features might be improved (although I have no idea) but it might be worth checking that newer model out if these would be issues for you.**8 month update**The plastic on the handle has cracked, but it does not interfere with the functionality and I am still in love.** 2.5 year update, Jan 2024**Still works with consistent use!

Vert good product

This is my first air fryer, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially that I already have a very good convection oven range, but I wanted something smaller that I don’t need to pre-heat and consumed less energy for smaller portions.This fryer works great, and the results are also far superior! For example, sweet potato fries are always difficult get get crispy without going dry or burning in a convection oven, and in this air fryer, it was super easy to get top results. I appreciated being able to watch the food doneness with the window and integrated light. Garlic bread results are out of this world, not anything like I’d get with a convection or on broil, I’m not sure why, but I suspect the hot air also fries a bit the butter and gives it an delicious nutty taste. I also tried reheated pizza, this needed a few tries, and I got the best results by preheating the pizza slice in the microwave first to get it nicely warm/hot, and then a quick 5 minutes in the air fryer to get a very nice crispy crust. You really need to have a bit of oil on the food; I tried spring rolls without oil and the results were not great at all, but just a brush of oil makes the difference.Although there are multiple trays, I found that two trays with sparsely spread out food items what the max it could take and still give good results. Otherwise the lower trays don’t get enough heat and don’t fry at the same speed.The mesh trays feel a bit thin and are occasionally difficult to slide in when the oven is cold, but they work very well and surprisingly very easy to clean despite not being coated. I believe they’re easy to clean because the food cooks from the hot air moving around instead of heating the tray. In all cases, I get to clean them with a sponge, whereas in my convection oven my air fryer trays often got super sticky and very hard to clean, despite being coated. All in all, I think these trays are perfect for this oven, and I’m hoping they will last well.I’m not sure how well the oven itself will last, I’ve read reviews that units failed quickly. In my case, I’m not seeing any sign that it would break down any time soon. It looks well built, runs quietly, and the touch controls are entirely electronic so they shouldn’t fail. There’s a halogen lamp inside the oven for lighting the food, it looks like replacing it would require disassembly, but since halogen lamps last a long time and work great at high temperatures, I’m not too worried at this point.All in all, I’m very happy with this air fryer, and crossing my fingers that it will wear well!

Easy to use. For a family I’d suggest an 6.8 Quart Fryer. We bought a 3.5 Quart due to storage limitations-it’s fine for two people. It works well, especially with recipes for air fryers. Sometimes you have to modify times:ex. with this one, I find doing frozen fries at 390˚F for 4 minutes-shaking-then 4 minutes is the perfect time. It’s not always necessary to lay (say fries) spaced out on the bottom of the fryer.-you can try a bunch at a time. If you have to do things in batches, then to make sure they are all hot at the same time, you can add the batches that are cooked back in the air fryer and heat them up 1 minute so everything is hot. So far I’ve sone chicken wings from scratch (look up “Fool Proof Air Fryer Chicken Wings”) , frozen chicken strips, french fries from scratch, and frozen french fries-all came out good, and with a few timing tweaks, really good. I like the speed with which food is cooked (eg. Wings Oven time vs, Air Fryer). It’s a breeze to clean. Heats very quickly. Only CON so far is once the timer is set, you can’t turn it back off. So if a recipe calls for say 24 minutes and shake or turn at 12,For my convenience, I set the timer for 12 minutes-the bell goes off, I do what’s required and reset for another 12 minutes. There are lots of recipes on the interne-veggies, poultry, beef, fruits, etc.
