Chefman Compact 6.3-Qt 4-In-1 Digital Air Fryer+, Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Convection Oven, XL Family Size, 8 Touch Screen Presets, BPA-Free, Auto Shutoff, Accessories Included, Black

“I’ve been using this air fryer for a while now, and it’s honestly the best. It cooks food evenly and quickly, it’s easy to use, and the results come out crispy and delicious every time. Perfect for everyday cooking!”

I just received this Chefman 6 in 1 Air-fryer earlier today. I've cooked a ton of bacon in it earlier and am now dehydrating banana slices and grapes. It's a bit early to have a definitive opinion, but I did want to share some first impressions. THE GOOD: - In other reviews I noted some who observed that the temperature up/down button increments in 10 degree steps. I assume their device was a generation older than mine as mine increments in 5 degrees steps. Nice! - I also noted in other reviews comments that the wire cooking racks are flimsy and that the wire mesh was so sharp it could cut your hand. After cooking bacon, the wire cooking racks had quite a bit of cooked on food product. Briefly soaking the racks in warm soapy water and using a stiff dish washing brush cleaned these up like new. - One or more reviewers mentioned that in spite of the drip pan, drips got past it and to the bottom of the device. I just simultaneously cooked three racks of bacon and not a drip of grease got past the drip tray. - Temp only goes to 400, but there's an option to kick it up to 450 to crisp at the end of your cooking. Nice! - Oven light is nice. THE NOT AS GOOD - The flip light used to tell you to flip fries and such just illuminates, no sound. This needs to be an audible sound. - Venting to back instead of sides. The manual states the air fryer only needs to be 2" away from the wall. I found that at 400 degrees and cooking for 15 minutes that the unit shut down on its own several times. I had to pull the air fryer away from the wall 6" to keep it from shutting down. I assume the auto shut down was because of an overheat condition, but there was no message that indicated this. If my opinion changes, I'll update, but I'd definitely rate this a great buy! UPDATE 07/28/2025: We've used this air fryer now for several weeks. First, I really do like the appearance of this device over a larger stainless air fryer I bought before this one. I really like the technical aspects of this air fryer. I saw on previous versions of this same fryer people complained about the lack of temperature controls because each step up in temperature on prior versions was in 10 degree increments. My device steps up in 5 degree increments. Also, people complained about the obnoxiously loud beeper that sounds when your food is done. This device has an appropriately loud beeper that doesn't both me at all. And though my prior air fryer was of the basket variety and my wife still preferred that format, this one has three heavier wire shelves that work fine. Cleaning is a little more difficult and while I normally hand wash our dishware, so far with a little presoak I've been able to with elbow grease get these clean. The only disappointment I've had so far is with the evenness of the temperature distribution. I wrongly assumed that the fans would more evenly distribute the temperature so flipping food wouldn't be required as much. But this cooks hot on one side more than the other, so you do have to pay attention when cooking and flip at least once through the cooking cycle. And by the way, with three racks I have at least double the space to cook things as I had with the old basket style fryer. If in the future I need to replace this device, I'd definitely consider this one...

Love this air fryer. Looks nice, plenty of room, and still fits on counter nicely. Works great!

I just got this yesterday. It has a glossy black finish that came scratched out of the box! The shelves are mesh and look square but fit only one way into the oven. Even then it is difficult to get them into position as the ridges they rest on are not pronounced and they fall easily. The display is bright but cannot be turned off. As I will use this infrequently that is a problem. The work around is to unplug the oven or turn off the power strip I have it plugged into. Three complaints I discovered the first hour of ownership! I like the ability to stack items when you cook. The options on the menu are good and seem to be accurate. I tin foiled the bottom drip tray and the first thing I cooked dripped and baked into the foil and I had to replace it after one use. Also the sharp angle of the corners makes lining the bottom difficult as the foil tends to rip in this area. I got it better the second time. My recommendation is to line the bottom before first use which the directions did not state. The instructions said to wash and then cook it without food the first time and I agree. It stunk up the kitchen during the first use. My conclusion is that it works OK, but has issues. That is way I reduced it two stars. I am thankful I have another air fryer. Update: The display will shut-off after about 10 minutes. The instructions are lacking in some details. I added a star back to four.

I absolutely love this air fryer! It heats up quickly and cooks food evenly and crispy without needing much oil. The digital controls are easy to use, and the preset options make cooking simple and convenient. I really like the window design because I can check on the food without opening it. It’s spacious enough to cook multiple items at once, yet it doesn’t take up too much counter space. Cleaning is also very easy. Great quality and totally worth the price! Highly recommend!

I like this as an air fryer, but, it has issues... The cons: 1. Door feels very flimsy, not sure how long it will last with frequent use. Other reviews show it not staying closed after some time. I can see how this could become a problem. 2. I cannot find additional trays or baking racks for it that FIT. I'd love a second solid baking rack. Tin foil and cooking spray it is on the mesh rack instead. I would buy yhem but Chefman is NOT responding to email or phone messages. NO confidence in product support or warranty, not responding to consumer requests. Bad form Chefman! 3. Anything on very top rack will be overcooked no matter what, it is closest to heat source, you are forced to constantly rotate racks of food to ensure any sort of even cooking. 4. Heat circulation in this unit is not great. Learned this the hard way making a bunch of tater tots. The top ones were little tater bricks. 5. Rotating racks with food on them is also a problem because the racks it comes with do not slide in and out easily on all rows. Messy! 6. No off button. If you accidentally touch the screen, it comes on, you cannot turn it off. You can STOP the cooking process, which I suppose is turning it off, but the screen stays lit up for quite a while waiting to be turned on again. I'd like to just turn it off. I guess I could just unplug it to be sure. 7. Use cooking time and temp suggestions on the food package! Not the pre-sets, or you will have overcooked tater tots. Gosh! (IYKYN) The Pros: 1. It is nice to not have to turn my oven on to cook freezer-foods. Flippin sweet! 2. This definitely cuts down some cooking time. 3. Very easy to clean after use. 4. Very quiet while operating. 5. Does not smell after cooking. I've read reviews of other air fryers people needed to buy filters for to keep odors down, and the need to leave oil in them (? Why?) This one just smells like the food I am cooking, same as if the oven were on, maybe a little stronger as it's not as well insulated as an oven, but I expect to smell my food while it's cooking. No lingering odor after, although I suppose if you let food residue build up in it, it will start to stink. 6. Nice, compact unit, I don't mind leaving it out on the counter. 7. I like that it has a light you can turn on to look at/check food without opening it unnecessarily. Easier than in an oven, it's at eye-level! I still have yet to try cooking meat in it with other things. I'm guessing I will have to trial and error the timing of doing meat, potatoes and vegetables. No way they all go in at same time. So far we've only done freezer food items and roasted vegetables, which came out nice, but again needed to be rotated where if I had used my oven, I could just roast away without any moving them around. Three stars, I'm in the middle on this one. Don't love it but don't hate it. I'll use it as long as it lasts.

So far, I love this thing. I read a few other reviews saying it doesn't cook fast enough, but it does a great job. I love crispy potatoes and my last air fryer was a pain to get them. This one is SO easy. I just cooked a meal with potatoes, green beans and fish, all at once. I really love it. The only commend I'd have is cleaning. The wire racks will tear up sponges. I just bought some brushes, lets see how long they last. Aside from that it's the best one I've tried so far.

I got this to replace the air fryer+rotisserie/convection oven I had for years that I got off Amazon. I waited patiently for it to go on sale and grabbed it up ASAP once it did. I needed a small space option because I have very limited counter space in an NYC apartment. While it is small, it's very tall. But where my last one was equally small of a footprint, it offered a much bigger actual cook space inside. This one I can hardly fit my smallest plate onto. Also, it's very loud. Surprisingly loud. It's hard to figure out how to use it, even with the instruction manual. It's not easy to clean. It offers less trays than the usual ones. I will say though - it cooks great. Very crispy when I want that, but still soft inside. Cooks all the way through. So great cook - just needs a little less shell and a little more space to cook inside.
