    Loved it!!!

    Good for chicken, steak, french fries, nuggets, fish and bread.
    My focaccia was crispy outside and soft inside.
    I always use the parchment paper basket if there is some juice.
    Value for money and easy to clean.

    Made me excited about cooking again.

    This air fryer is my first one. I waited for the price to come down a bit. Worth every penny. I'm still learning, but it's a game changer for me because I don't like to wait forever using a big conventional oven, I don't like to clean the mess on my stovetop after every meal and don't enjoy microwaved food. I am eating healthier now that I have this two bin air fryer & it's bringing me joy experimenting with cooking again.
    It's very easy to clean, and looks sleek on my countertop, as well. Thanks, Chefman®!

    Effective, Reasonably Priced

    I purchased this air fryer because I wanted one with dual baskets that was not super expensive. I have only used this product about 5 times so far, but I am definitely satisfied with it. Right now, it still has a fairly strong smell that emanates when the machine is turned on, but I anticipate that it will decrease with more uses. I really like having two separate baskets – you can set the baskets to different temperatures and for different cook times, which is great. The maximum temperature the air fryer goes up to is 400 degrees F, however, I wish it went up to 450. It does heat up quickly and is easy to clean. It is also very easy to add extra cooking time when needed. It is fairly compact, even though it has two baskets. I have limited counter space, so the size was an important consideration for me as well. The baskets are each a good size – if I had more space, I would have preferred slightly larger baskets, but they are sufficient for most meals. The only
    feature I do not like is that it beeps repeatedly with a "shake" message every couple of minutes. Overall, I think this a great dual fryer option for the price.

    Spend a bit more get a proper one

    This is the worse air fryer I’ve ever known. If you think this is cheap I’ll get that, spend a bit more and get a decent one. I have had this less than two weeks and already the second drawer barely works. It takes five minutes just to get the right position for it to cook and then regularly switches itself off. I’ll be putting it in the bin and learning my lesson. Do not make the same mistake I did on this horrendous product.

    Such a great air fryer. Does NOT take up too much space on your counter top and is great for making 2 meals at the same time. dual settings, dual trays, you cannot go wrong.

    A must have for anyone looking for a dual airfryer and I would recommend the silicone inserts to make clean up easy and fast.

    Saves time and effort when cooking two things at once.

    If this air fryer continues to work like it has, I will remain in cooking heaven. If I could change one thing about it it would be to have the temp go up to 450. But its not that big an issue. I love the fact that it can finish cooking on both sides at the same time. It even looks great. Its a simple thing to wash and comes out spotless, even without using Pam. I love the automatic buttons for cooking, tho I haven't tried any yet. I highly recommend you try this fryer and though it may seem incredibly complicated, it really is not. I love it because with my single air fryer I had to work out when to start cooking to have them finish together while my Chef man can cook two different things and with a touch to the sync finish button both sides will be finished together. No more soggy cold French fries. It tells you when to shake them and pauses the other side to finish cooking together.
    It also holds quite a bit, and its still not that heavy if you need to move it.

    Perfect for Cooking Two Dishes at Once!

    This Chefman dual basket air fryer has completely simplified meal prep in my kitchen. The two independent 3-quart baskets mean I can cook two different foods at the same time — and the Smart Sync Finish makes sure they’re done together, which is a huge time saver.

    The digital touchscreen is intuitive, the Hi-Fry function gives that extra crispy texture, and the auto shutoff adds peace of mind. Both baskets are nonstick and dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is a breeze. It’s sleek, cooks evenly, and has quickly become one of my most-used appliances.

    Slower Cook Times and a Strange Smell: My Experience with the Chefman Air Fryer

    The media could not be loaded. After my old Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer broke down, I bought this one as a replacement. It looks very similar to my old one, but it has some key differences.

    My old Ninja had fan speed control, and this one doesn't. This air fryer's fan speed is what I would call "low," similar to the "bake" setting on my old Ninja. In certain cases, this can be considered a plus, as I can now cook things like cheesy garlic bread or melt a slice of cheese on top of a burger at the end of its cycle without it getting blown all over the place. It can even "toast" a slice of bread without it getting blown all over the basket, which was impossible in my old Ninja even on the lowest setting. The food I've made so far also seems to come out a bit crispier, and the baskets are less sticky. The low fan speed also makes it quieter.

    However, the low fan speed has a downside: everything takes much longer to cook. I've found that it takes 1.5 to 2 times longer to cook food than in my old Ninja. A large breaded chicken breast took over three times longer than the package instructions suggested.

    This one does stop the blower when you pull out the basket. I'm not sure if that's good or not, but if you pull out the basket to shake the food, it stops the fan. I'm not sure if it also stops the heat. Either way, the Ninja definitely kept blowing and heating regardless of whether or not the basket was inserted.

    The baskets in this new fryer are smaller, which means less counter space is taken up. I can finally put my knife block back where it used to be, which is a big win for me.

    This has the same "basket sync" and "both-baskets-are-the-same" features that the Ninja had, which is mostly useful if you have 2 things that take different amounts of time. You can start them both at the same time, and the fryer will delay start the second basket until the time is correct for them to both finish at the same time.

    My biggest complaint is the smell. When I first ran it, a really unpleasant odor came from the machine. I had to wash the baskets and run it empty several times to get rid of the smell. The smell was so bad that I almost sent this one back. My Ninja had no smell at all, from day 1.

    Overall, I'm relatively happy with it. It has some great features, like smaller footprint and the fact that I think it might be able to double as a toaster, even though the longer cooking time is an adjustment and I haven't yet had the opportunity to try some other foods that I have cooked in my old air fryer. I really hope that whatever made that smell isn't toxic, or going to somehow cause me an issue in 20 years leaving me regretting saving the extra money on this one. Whatever that smell is, this company really needs to address it.

    Great Fryer!

    This got delivered to the incorrect address. I contacted customer service and they promised to refund me but never did. I have been with Amazon since 2011 and expected better than them telling me it was delivered when it clearly was not. Then on top of that just to tell me whatever to get me off the chat. However a month later the person who received it found the address and brought it there. I feel lied to by Amazon but also grateful that good people still exist and also not mad about the refund not going through because I got my order eventually.

    Love the Fryer. Got it because I have celiac disease and prefer to have my needed fried thing gluten free without risk of cross contamination. I also can’t bother to do all that greasy frying at home. Too much of a mess and it is obviously unhealthy. Easy to use and cooks food quickly in my opinion. Clean up is easy but I find if I put the drawers back in I forgot to wash them so I leave them out to cool down so that I can remember to wash them.

    Screw the fries - this is great for Keto! Awesome proteins and veggies

    Previously I had WOOTed a 6qt (maybe still a Chefman) and was learning and liking. That ended up at the cabin. Half because I forgot to packit and half because quick cooking there is nice sometimes.

    So I was pondering a double basket to say cook a protein and a veggie.

    I am Keto – so I cannot comment on fries – but I cook a lot of proteins and veggies in this. I cook steaks, burgers, sausage dogs, buns, veggies, etc in this. So don't shy away from an air fryer like I did if you are Keto. These are (no longer) a gimmick and are great and I'm using my oven and outdoor grill less and less.

    I love the sync-finish button. If you know your times then you'll finish very well. For example hot dogs (more for my son – but hmm think sausage dog and I'm there. One basket 4-6 minutes for the dogs and other basket two minutes for the buns (Yes they come out great!) Sync finish and it all comes out ready to serve.

    I did notice this version has no actual air input/output vents in the baskets (the bottom is raised – but no air input there – so all air must come from the top. So I don't know how this will do with more than one layer.

    I am single but I think this would be fine for a couple. For example a 10 oz ribeye fit in the basket and cooked fine (does need flipping) and the veggies on the other side. Enough for two for sure.

    Notes:

    I really thought I would strongly miss a knob for time and temp. But (1) Temp is almost *always* 400 😉 and (2) Time, well it starts at 10 minutes and decrements by two. So while I'd still like a knob – I am not hating this like I thought I would. And there is a +2 minute button to tack on the end if needed.

    This does not have any food presets. Probably for the better as they're often not spot on. But easy to look up and/or I have the Momo & Nashi fridge magnet page tabbed guide (on AZP)

    You CAN turn the beeping off contrary to some complaints.

    I'm not sure the liner coating is as durable as my original, more expensive, Chefman 6q

    I don't – yet – know how this will do with more than a single layer. Hmm. That calls for a basket of wings. I'm confident I'll need to shake/mix – but we'll see (due to only top down air circ.

    The window is nice – you can see some progress – but I haven't used it enough to see how long a nice clear window lasts or is cleanable reasonably.

    The "light" is the heating element – so it will go on and off as it heats. So just know there is no constant light.

    This should be 3 or more inches from the wall. Not critical – but most circulation is from the bottom of the unit (unit's circulation) so I don't want to damage my wallpaper.

    I really like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725GYNG6 for this. As a set of two – the unit sets nicely on one – just right. The 2nd lives on top – but when I'm using the unit – it goes in front and so I can pull baskets and deal with them without the hot basket directly on the counter top. Also not bad for drying. Then it goes back on top. I do not buy many Amazon brands as they are often substandard – but these are spot on and economical and as 2 pieces I retain some flex on the counter top.

    For cleaning I really, really like, https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Platinum-Powerwash-Starter-Bundle/dp/B082DLGV3F Dawn Powerwash. My dishwasher is good enough to not need it – but it makes really quick spray and hot water hose/rinse immediate clean up of basket very nice.

    I'm not paid nor received anything. I do like to review things I really like.

    Slower Cook Times and a Strange Smell: My Experience with the Chefman Air Fryer

    The media could not be loaded. After my old Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer broke down, I bought this one as a replacement. It looks very similar to my old one, but it has some key differences.

    My old Ninja had fan speed control, and this one doesn't. This air fryer's fan speed is what I would call "low," similar to the "bake" setting on my old Ninja. In certain cases, this can be considered a plus, as I can now cook things like cheesy garlic bread or melt a slice of cheese on top of a burger at the end of its cycle without it getting blown all over the place. It can even "toast" a slice of bread without it getting blown all over the basket, which was impossible in my old Ninja even on the lowest setting. The food I've made so far also seems to come out a bit crispier, and the baskets are less sticky. The low fan speed also makes it quieter.

    However, the low fan speed has a downside: everything takes much longer to cook. I've found that it takes 1.5 to 2 times longer to cook food than in my old Ninja. A large breaded chicken breast took over three times longer than the package instructions suggested.

    This one does stop the blower when you pull out the basket. I'm not sure if that's good or not, but if you pull out the basket to shake the food, it stops the fan. I'm not sure if it also stops the heat. Either way, the Ninja definitely kept blowing and heating regardless of whether or not the basket was inserted.

    The baskets in this new fryer are smaller, which means less counter space is taken up. I can finally put my knife block back where it used to be, which is a big win for me.

    This has the same "basket sync" and "both-baskets-are-the-same" features that the Ninja had, which is mostly useful if you have 2 things that take different amounts of time. You can start them both at the same time, and the fryer will delay start the second basket until the time is correct for them to both finish at the same time.

    My biggest complaint is the smell. When I first ran it, a really unpleasant odor came from the machine. I had to wash the baskets and run it empty several times to get rid of the smell. The smell was so bad that I almost sent this one back. My Ninja had no smell at all, from day 1.

    Overall, I'm relatively happy with it. It has some great features, like smaller footprint and the fact that I think it might be able to double as a toaster, even though the longer cooking time is an adjustment and I haven't yet had the opportunity to try some other foods that I have cooked in my old air fryer. I really hope that whatever made that smell isn't toxic, or going to somehow cause me an issue in 20 years leaving me regretting saving the extra money on this one. Whatever that smell is, this company really needs to address it.
