EDIT
After a few months, the base plate is very difficult to keep clean. A lot of awkward spaces where grease can collect. The temptation is to not clean which is probably not a good thing.
Design: The design is lovely- the handles are ergonomic; the buttons are easy to use. The only physical button is the dial and it hasn’t been an issue using. It took a minute or so to understand how to cook at different times and temperatures. The fans at the back emit a lot of heat, so I normally leave a gap between the wall and the air fryer.
Cooking: the food cooks very evenly. The unique selling point of this is of course the dual baskets- it works perfectly for what I’ve cooked and it’s incredibly clear to identify the cooking time and temperature. The ability to sync-cook as well is a great convienence.
My main issue with this is the lack of surface area. It’s very good with the volume being large, but the majority of things I cook occupies a larger surface area than this perhaps provides. A good example is chips/ fries. When cooking it, I must do it in more batches as the available area isn’t enough. Of course, I could stack them together to utilise all of the volume, but who wants floppy fries!? I use the air-fryer for myself and one other person, but using it for more people might be an issue.
Sound: Sounds pop up for relevant aspects. It’s very easy to hear when in the same room without it becoming annoying. You get alerted when pre-heating is done, when food should be turned and finally when the timer has reached
Clean up: The baskets are easy to clean by hand, and the grates can easily be thrown into the dishwasher.
Overall, this air fryer is for you if you need to cook items at different temperatures and durations. However, please be aware that the available space isn’t as attractive as I thought when buying it!
