CHEFMAN 2 Qt Mini Air Fryer – Digital Space-Saving Compact Air Fryer with Nonstick and Dishwasher Safe Basket, Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes, Features Digital Timer and Shake Reminder – Black

I never write reviews... but I'm obsessed with this air fryer. No joke it has literally changed my life hahhaah. First off - I don't cook. Never have. Always hated it. I'm neurodivergent and I'm very good at a lot of things but just not in the kitchen - I hate the prep, the smells, the number of options for tools and pans, etc... the way the stove or oven heats up the whole kitchen, and the huge amount of dishes and whatever you have to clean up afterwards. I think the thing that bothers me the most though is that it's hard to find good recipes - people will just share horrible recipes that take forever to make (and groceries are expensive these days!) You spend all that money and end up with something gross. Or I would mess up and burn something or undercook something because there are so many nuances that go unspoken in cooking. All ovens have different internal temperatures... cooking on gas or electric stoves affect the types of pans you may be using... I don't even know which pans are good for what types of foods... there's so much to consider and it all goes widely unsaid in recipes. So I often would try to make something and end up throwing it out. Not fun. Long story short, it's just not worth it to me. Luckily my spouse is an amazing cook and loves the art of it. He knows how to make anything and how to take a recipe and alter it to be GOOD, so he does all the cooking! Fast-forward to him having to leave for about a month this summer and I'm really struggling in the kitchen alone every day. My mom suggested getting an air fryer to make my life easier - just a small one (she recommended this exact model backed by research and thousands of great reviews). I thought okay maybe it would be nice to heat up some frozen food and have it be cooked better than a microwave at least, I don't know. I always thought air fryers were a gimicky thing - just another dumb gadget to take up space on the counter. Not interested. But I ordered it anyway... she was adamant I would like it. And oh. My god, was she right. I had no idea!! First of all, pretty much everything frozen or pre-packaged has air fryer instructions on the back. You just dump some stuff in, set the temperature and time, and in a few mintiess, you have something that is PERFECTLY COOKED. It's too simple. Nothing comes out rubbery or unevenly cooked like in the microwave. Everything is chef's kiss - crispy, cooked, perfect... almost like grill-level good. And you just push a button. It's so small, there are no pans or excess dishes to wash after. You just wait for the basket to cool off then rinse with a bit of soap and water the end. Or you can even use those air fryer basket liners - even less clean up! Then I tried making real food... he air fryer recipes on the internet are sooooo simple - buy a thing, season it, maybe spray the air fryer basket with some olive or avocado oil, then press a button. So then I tried to make stuff not from frozen bags! I made buffalo wings... brussel sprouts... cheeseburgers... chicken breast... asparagus... even steak!!! It may sound stupid but this is HUGE for me. Like - I bought raw meat and was 100% confident that the air fryer would cook it correctly and that I wouldn't make a mess or overwhelm myself. And that's exactly what happened! Quick, easy dinners in MINUTES with no mess. It's a miracle. It's like, what I always wanted cooking to be lol, just pop something in a little drawer, set the time and temp and bam, it's done. It reminds of that gadget in Back to the Future 2 - I hope someone else remembers this - when they go visit the McFly house in the future and they're cooking dinner in that "hydrator" thing and the mom pops the food in the drawer and says "hydrate level 4, please" and the food comes out perfect in like 30 seconds, hahaha. THAT'S what I always wanted and THAT'S what the air fryer is to me!!! I'm so obsessed. My spouse is back and I've been cooking multiple nights a week and he is STUNNED he can't stop laughing at my new obsession and is also very impressed that the stuff I'm air frying is really good! So he calls me the air fryer queen now. I just bought another one - a 4 qt. Chefman model so I can cook multiple things at once! So anyway - if you hate cooking and never thought you had a chance... I'm here to tell you there is hope haha. And this lil mini 2 qt. chefman is a hero for the ages.

I love how easy it is to clean. Mine is a 2 litre which is small but perfect for a senior couple. I have cooked, fries, chicken thighs, chicken wings, ribs, a turkey thigh, pork chops, & salmon in it & they have all come out perfectly cooked & delicious. So quick & easy to use while using very little electricity & not heating up your kitchen. I would highly recommend it.

Just right size and great price. Does what I want it to do. Easy use food is cooked just right. Function can be just one touch. I recommend

The Chefman Mini Air Fryer is a great little appliance, especially for small kitchens, dorm rooms, or anyone cooking quick meals for themselves. It heats up quickly and is simple to use, making it convenient for snacks and small portions. However, it is very compact. If you’re cooking for more than one person, the basket size may feel limiting, and you might need to cook food in multiple batches. This can take extra time compared to larger air fryers.

Very nice, little air fryer. Works very well. Easy to clean, fingerprint magnet though. Easy to use, i like the round control knob. Definitely recommend - buyer be aware, it is a small air fryer

We have had this little air fryer for 5 years now and it's still being used every day. Basic, small and exactly what we need! We are seniors and my husband loves it to fix snacks and small meals multiple times a day. It is perfect for individual servings, and possibly 2. It is perfect for reheating leftovers--wings, egg rolls, hash browns, french fries, potatoes, the list is endless! I airfry a burger patty and it's perfect. FYI I know sometimes people use a silicone line, but I use a coffee filter as a liner sometimes and it fits well and helps make cleanup easier. One of the best purchases I've made!

This is the best air fryer for me. I live alone and I don't know what I would do without it. This one doesn't use a inside cover and it works great without one.

I don't know what took me so long! I absolutely love this little red air fryer! First of all, in order to save an extra $10, I purchased one that was a return item. It was in brand new condition. Once I set it up for use, I used breaded, frozen chicken breast strips to test the fryer. I noticed that the digital readout panel settings default to 400°f for the fryer and 15:00 minutes for the timer. A quick study of the panel helped me to figure out how to adjust both settings. The chicken came out both crisp and hot. (I cooked it on the default settings, turning the strips midway through the process.) Last night, I cooked a small salmon slab, stuffed with a cream cheese blend of spinach, seasonings and herbs. It was amazing! This air fryer is easy to clean. It's compact size is the perfect size for my own personal needs and... this little machine is whisper quiet. I highly recommend it.

I have found this Mini Air Fryer to be the perfect addition to my kitchen. I have a very small apartment kitchen and this little appliance is compact, works as well as my family's larger ones and was very simple to use. I highly recommend it for single persons. I'm glad I chose it. Thank you Chefman!

Potente, deixa os alimentos crocantes.

Small size but it works like a charm. The function is so simple, Time-Temp, Start-Stop, but good enough for the food well done. I tried Frozen French fries for 5 minutes with 205°C, im halfway the beep beep sounds to remind me to shake the basket making the French Fries for even crispy, that I like the most of them. Easy to clean. Compact, light weight and convenience for one person meal. Recommended.

Súper fácil, todo muy bien, llego en perfectas condiciones, lo malo son 2 cosas. 1. Que fabricante no incluye ningún recetario ni pequeño de inicio, tuve que buscar en internet, según ellos tienen recetas en su página pero solo hay 4 y de otros productos, ósea que no tenia ni idea de cómo hacer algo 2. Según Amazon aun cuando hice la compra por el cyber Monday el envío no me lo cobraban y al final Si lo cobraron y me di cuenta de eso por la tarjeta y1 días después que aparece otro monto en el total

work beautifully, just the right size and color for my kitchen. Very happy with the product
