The window to see your food makes this unit golden!
By J. Mcghee on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2021
One thing I have always hater about air fryers is that you kind of have to have faith in your timing and temps. Not anymore. Now you can see exactly what is going on inside your fryer!As many have said, you are supposed to leave the silicone stoppers on the tray. They will not burn. They are made out of the same material as silicone cupcake trays. This unit gets up to 400 degrees and the melt point for them is above that.I ran mine outside for about 20 minutes for 3 repetitions. This burnt off the factory smell. Which smells like various chemicals like plastic and electronics. After this I reheated some French fries and after that it smelled like whatever I put into it.The nice thing about the rubber stoppers is that they hold the tray in place when you pull the basket out to shake and/or flip your food. So, I've put burgers into it and then flipped them like a chef would in the pan. The same with French fries. Their smaller unit doesn't have these stoppers so if you do that it would also flip the tray around.When it is time to flip you don't cancel/stop the machine. You just pull the basket out and flip the food and then return it into the machine. It will then begin where it left off. One caveat is that if you kept pulling it out to flip at minute 3, before the entire minute is over, it will perpetually stay on minute 3. So it isn't keeping track of minutes + seconds when you flip the food, it just begins again at zero seconds for the minute you were on.The basket is huge. You can easily cook two big steaks in there. The 3.x quart unit used to do 3 breaded pork chops for me. This one does 7. And does them much quicker too.I cannot say enough how great it is to have the window to see the food. With this information and a couple of quick glances every few minutes you can gain information for future uses on how much time or temp is needed for different foods.Cleaning on all of their units is super easy. I use hot soapy water and a no scratch dish scrubber with a Teflon pad. Everything comes right off easy and no scratches.

Hope You Don't Need Customer Service!
By J. King on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
Product worked great for 3.5 months. One night, I turn it on to preheat but then stop the preheat to let the dog out. The machine hasn't turned on since. The screen will activate, but after selecting time and temp the start/stop button turns the screen off.The customer service AI widget on the website is useless, and after it fails to solve the problem it offers to let you open a help ticket. After collecting your contact information you are NOT given an opportunity to describe the problem. I was told I'd be contacted in 5-7 days and if I didn't hear anything.... to check my junk mail & spam folders.After 10 business days I send an email to support@chefman.com and receive an auto-reply.... telling me to wait 5-7 days for a reply.Ooh, but there's a telephone number I can call! THEY'RE ONLY OPEN FROM 9-5 AND 9-2 DURING THE WEEK!!!!Don't waste your time or your money. My no-name air fryer from Best Buy was a steal. This Chefman garbage is a ripoff.UPDATE: After going scorched Earth and using social media to an angry customer's advantage, I did get a response from Chefman. They had me submit a video of the issue, which was perfectly acceptable. Their next response began the replacement procedure. This particular model has been discontinued, which is a shame because I was a fan of the built-in temp probe. Looking forward to playing with the rotisserie in the replacement...
