Well worth buying for all the extra accessories – This was an impolse buy and we chose this air fryer because it came with extra accesories such as a pot to put things into and cook including making baked cakes and we have even made mini pizza subs and garlic bread all in this unit and it's come out super nice Show details
Great product! – Has been pretty good we have had one for the past few years and has been a great change from oven and frypan cooking. I highly recommend buying one as it is a huge time saver and makes the food taste very very very very very very very extremely good Show details
Not a bad little machine – Easy to clean & store, i found that when cooking large amounts of chips it does tend to dry them out a little bit so you are best off cooking smaller amounts at the one time in order for it to reach it's full potential. Highly recommended product A++ buy one ;) Show details
Better Than Philips – I've had this for about 12 months and use it several times a week. Cooks and reheats such a wide variety of foods quickly. Easy to clean and still looks as good as new. Unlike the Philips Air Fryer I had, the interior of the bucket hasn't peeled. A shame this air fryer is not longer sold in Australia Show details
Happy with this product – I use it for frying the chips, frozen foods, even crackling pork belly ( I don't like the smoke coming out of it though). My family like the crust formed by this airfryer. I use this for baking muffin and cake, it gives nice crusty at the top of the cake. Show details
Good air fryer – Didn't like the square draw on this model. Great cooker. Even cooking on most things. I found the teflon does come off after a few washes. Easy to clean. Easy to store. I recommend this for 1-2 people would be great for caravans. I found cooking chips wasn't that fantastic in larger batches. Show details
Amazing budget buy! – My partner and I bought this for ourselves for Christmas so we could be a bit healthier and it's actually amazing, especially for the price. We use it for everything to do with potato. We even mixed it up a bit and put sweet potato in it! It came out so well, we were very impressed. Show details
Great fryer – Love this air fryer makes great chips cooks chicken and fish quickly and evenly having the separate pot and wire rack makes it very versatile I use mine at least a few times a week Cooks very fast making it great for a fast meal and it is so easy to clean Show details
Good value for money – Bought this through a groupon sale. Great value for money compared to the brand names. As I never owned those models not sure how it performs compared to the big names but suits my needs just fine. Didn't really use their recipe book, just looked online for recipes. Great healthier alternative to deep frying. It doesn't have quite the same taste as true deep fry but comparable. Cleaning fairly straightforward. Overall pleased. Show details
I like it – Yes , only problem is the part under the basket when I pull out separate and more the one time I burn myself . I try to look for spare basket , no where I can contact whit wit anybody or the company , only i Finder this review , or if I want by another air fry . Very disappoint x Show details
Great to start with but broke before 3 months old – Beware, Kitchen Chef 3.2 L shoddy workmanship but I suppose you should expect that with the price. The catch for the basket is too flimsy & with break which means your money down the drain. Air frying is fun but beware of the product so you can really enjoy it. Show details
Awesome love it – Love this Air fryer it is the best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen. Plus it looks good sitting on my kitchen bench...It cooks steak to perfection & lamb loin chops are yum ever since I have bought my Air fryer I never go out for Brekkie anymore just do it all at home now and the best part about it ...is no messy oil ...love it Show details

Best appliance I have – This is a very good, solid, reliable Air Fryer and for a budget price. Cooks just as well as the one that's 3x the price and without all the smoking, and mechanical failures and the nonstick peeling issues. The kitchen Chef 3.2 is easy to clean and operate. You can cook anything in it that can be cooked in your big oven or on the grill or BBQ. You… Read more
can use containers and baking tins that can go in your oven..anything that is oven proof like Silicone, Pyrex or Corning ware or non stick baking tins that will fit eg an 18cm springform pan will fit in the base on a trivet or metal egg ring to lift it a bit. . You are only limited by your imagination and what you can fit in there. I have found that you can even take out the basket and cook in the base giving you a much larger size to cook a larger roast of beef, lamb pork or chicken. The list of things that can be cooked in the airfryer is too long to list.. but just to say bacon is fantastic and done in a few minutes, toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches, Yum! Roasts, steaks, chops, sausages. Roast Veggies of all sorts..puddings, cake, omelette /frittata just to name a few. I have been really happy with the cooking results and that the Air fryer turns off by itself instead of burning stuff if you get sidetracked with something, The cost of running it is by far, less than a stove, as it takes less time to cook most things than it takes to even preheat your oven to temperature, so your done in no time at all. Doesn't heat up the Kitchen either, fantastic in summer here in Qld..I use mine every day so it stays out on my bench top and I dont have any issues with it just sitting on the benchtop (laminated) as someone posted previously .. I have had this air fryer for 9 months now and a Philips Viva for 2,1/2 years and neither have been any problem sitting directly on the bench top but if worried use a wooden or cork board to sit it on.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this Kitchen Chef 3.2L Air fryer.
In fact, I am so happy with this air fryer I bought both daughters one each. And they are both happy with theirs :)
Best Appliance Bought Lately – This is one of the best Kitchen appliances I have bought for a long time. So easy to do baking and hot air frying without much oil. In the hot summer time it does not heat up the whole kitchen, I have baked cakes, sweet pastries and more. The 3.2L size will do a whole chicken or small leg of lamb. The instruction book is helpful but there are a… Read more
lot of recipes available on pinterest and Face Book by joining a group. Can I recommend it, sure can I just love it.
So easy to use and clean and great if you want a healthier option for fried foods! – Happy with my air fryer. Like anything you need to adjust timings to your taste to get the optimum cooking results. In terms of size I found you can definitely fit joints of meat in there for 4-6 people, pork belly, beef, lamb. Shoulders or legs would probably be too big due to their shape. I haven't tested out all the recipes published on the… Read more
Phillips air fryer site yet but have scanned the reviews and some people have even managed to cook battered prawns in theirs...maybe give that a try next.
This is a scam – I tried to cook a chicken as it say's in the advert but it is too small to do this unless the chicken is as small as a pidgeon. My wife is very up set with it. We cannot do any thing a bout it because we were on holiday when it came and we had gone past the send back date. For such a bulky thing it does not do the job as it says it could. Chips and little thing can be cooked but not enough for a family. Very sad such a thing can be developed.
Be VERY Careful!!!!! – If you buy this product be VERY careful to use it only on some sort of heat absorbing mat. Unfortunately when my wife used it last night (for just the second time) she placed it straight onto our (six month old) stone benchtop; some 20 minutes later there was a loud bang and a (several thousand dollar) crack had appeared in the benchtop. … Read more
There is a warning in the instructions but we believe the product should either be better insulated or raised (on short legs?) to allow air insulation below it.
Very happy with it! – After reading all those reviews decided to buy it and do not regret it at all. Price was much more appealing than Phillips or Tefal. Have not tried theo other 2 and thats why cant really compare. But happy with my purchase. Recommend it. Looking another one for my in law. Using mi e around 3 times per week and even hubby saw its so easy to use and said he can have a go one day. Cant wait for him to start cooking
Lived upto my expectations! – After reading reviews, decided to buy Kitchen Chef over Tefal and Philips. Price was very attractive (Online buy) and it was my first attempt at Air Fryer. Many reviews told to me to choose 3.2 liter instead of 2.2 liter. Rightly did so and it's doing a good job so far. I tried wedges, chips, chicken snitzels, samosas, spinach and cheese pasties… Read more
and they all came out pretty well, even Anzac biscuits were not too bad though it's not meant for biscuits and cookies.
3.2L version seems fine – We have had the Kitchen Chef 3.2L version of this for going on a month now finding it worthwhile. None of the problems previously mentioned with the 2.2L version are apparent. I understand that the 2.2L version has been updated anyway. On quality of output. We had a Prinetti Dry Fry prior to this which to my taste did better chips (but not much… Read more
else.) I assume that would be at a higher electricity cost. That failed at end of Warranty and naturally we are no where near that with this one but build quality does look decent with this. Food-wise we get better results with other than chips in this unit. Many food items seem just as good handled this way as in many other ways, perhaps technically better health-wise (and energy wise.) Sometimes for those items where we are used to a more 'golden' finish colour we remove from the Air Fryer at 95% completion and give them a few minutes at full blast under the grille in 900 wide oven. This can be even better with a very light spray of oil before the oven with an atomiser. Especially when flavour enhancers (such as salt) are added these can end up indistinguishable from traditional deep fried foodstuffs.
The really good thing though is that our disgracefully chip-eager children are very happy with the output (without oil) from the unit and we can retire the deep frying routine which filled the gap between the Dry Fry and this Air Fry.
One thing, The 3.2L version for best result takes a small enough volume, unless used for single person meals I cannot see that it would be wise to get the 2.2L version. This seems especially pertinent when the overall large unit size is the same an the 3.2 version can be bought down to about $90 so that there could not be a lot of advantage left in the 2.2L version.
Stars are a bit premature given only a month of use but those given above reflect taste-80%, Size-75%, build quality (part unknown) - 70%, convenience - 90%, related documentation - 50%, Ease of use and cleaning - 90%, Cost effectiveness - 90%, Assumed energy efficient - 90%. Not a bad result at all and another year of use may see me adjust the rating up if the rate of familiarity and use continues.
