Not perfect, but it is affordable and it works – My mommy friends kept singing praises of their Philips Air Fryer after my mini oven broke down. Unable to afford Philips, I found Bellini at Target at $99 full price. It's affordable, so I bought it. It has been over an year now, it cooks my favourite hash browns and chips to perfection, it is also ideal for reheating some baked and fried food.… Read more
However the cooking speed isn't that much quicker than my mini oven or my friend's Philips Air Fryer, but if you look at the bucket design, you will notice that it is pretty much a round pot with holes, rather than the mesh design in Philips. The only problem I have is that it cannot bake cake or scone well like my old mini oven. You will have to reduce the depth of your cake or scones, and it occupies a big corner on my kitchen bench. A very good use of this air fryer is to make oil-free prawn or cassava crackers, however you cannot make any popcorn with it.
Positive reviews
Very handy – Once I discovered air fryers I kept finding more and more uses for them and now I use one - or two every night to cook dinner. I bought the Bellini because my other air fryer had just broken and I couldn't live a day without one. First bonus - it was cheap! I immediately noticed that it was not as powerful as my previous air fryer. However, as I… Read more
now have 2 air fryers, the lesser power is not an issue. Another good point about this air fryer is the removable basket, so I can tip things on to the plate. My other air fryer has a base that falls out with the food if you try this manoeuvre - very annoying. The digital controls are really simple and work well. I don't think there is any need for preset numbers for certain foods that other fryers have. It is easy to clean. I use this pretty much every night and for the price I paid, I think it is excellent value for money. If it broke I would go out and by the same model.
Very useful but with some real design downsides and doesnt last forever – On the whole a very useful device, I use it most days for my main meal. Not ideal design wise, you can't set it for more than 30 minutes and most of the meals I cook need longer than that. Not a major issue because I can add more time when adding the later items or turning some of them with other meals but it would be better to not have to do… Read more
that.
Easier to program than the Aldi equivalent.
Not big enough for a leg of lamb and the 30 minutes limit would be a damned nuisance for that anyway.
The drawer design isnt ideal, its easy to insert it above the guide so it wont shut. But once you realise the problem its just a nuisance because all you have to do is pull it out, let it drop a little, push it in again and then it closes fully.
Not that long lived. Now the bottom of the drawer can drop off without pressing the release button. One of the segments on the digit display no longer lights, just a minor irritation. The cover to the release button on the drawer came off, but works fine without it. The black coloring is coming off in the inside of the bottom of the drawer but that's entirely cosmetic, you only see that when putting it in the dishwasher.
Not clear how long it has lasted, I got it at a garage sale but appeared to have not been used much if any at all and I can't remember when I got it at the garage sale. Its definitely been a few years now.
Works fine in the dishwasher.
5 years still going!! – Been using for the last 5 years and it still goes. Only thing that broke is the push button cover broke. Cooked all types of food on this. Been used at the work place everyday Show details
Negative reviews
Lasted 5 mins literally ! – Followed the set up instructions - warmed up the system - added my food and it blew up in first 5 mins of use - sparks and a bang! Drawer difficult to close. Show details
Faulty design: door doesn't close when hot – Exactly as Chris said below: I read the review and thought he must be unlucky so bought it anyway. Used it twice and then the door didn't close. Massive let down. Clear design flaw. Dangerous and next to useless. The product should be recalled. For now, just going to return it and keep looking. Everything else seems fine about this unit. But yeah, that is like saying "Other than the breaks not working, car was great" Show details
Bellini air fryer – Good air fryer for the price, some extra attachments would be nice, we use it to reheat food, and it tastes like you just got it from the store, chicken, chips, nuggets and it’s NO OIL Show details

Cooks okay but beeping is loud – Does anyone know how to turn off the beeps on this thing? So loud when you switch it on 3 beeps and when finishes cooking. Whole neighbourhood can hear it I'm sure. Thank you. Show details
Cooking times – Tried cooking poached eggs and it tool 9 minutes for the white to be cooked, and the yoke was very hard and over cooked. Show details
Cooks to perfection – This has been a surprisingly good appliance at a great price. Just learning what I can cook in it and testing out times and temps. Only downside is not having instruction/ recipe book to follow. It is a large Item but I don’t keep it on my bench but in pantry. I have used it every night to cook something and am pleased with less oil on food NO mess and 5.5 L size is great for 2 people. Show details
Excellent value for money – Overall, I am very happy with this air fryer for the relatively cheap price it cost. I have had this air fryer for 8 months now and I am very satisfied with it. The basket is plenty big enough for my family of three and I find that things cook a lot quicker than my oven does, and everything is way more crispy. I use it approx 3-4 times per week to… Read more
cook pre-packaged oven fry products like mini meat pies, chips, wedges, potato gems etc. fresh foods like bacon and chicken schnitzel, and I also use it for reheating things like quiches and leftover pizza slices. I only hand-wash mine just in case, but it is very easy to clean. The only negative that I have found is that sometimes I have to slam the basket drawer in as it can sometimes be a bit clumsy to close.
Love it! – Love this thing, I only wish it did chickens up to 2kg ( who cooks a chicken no more than 1.3 kg these days?!) and the viewing light stayed on throughout cooking. Show details
This product is amazing can’t live without it – Honestly I don’t know how I went my whole life without this air fryer this product is really good, so easy to use and so easy to clean what more could you want. I’ve had this now for two years and still amazing I literally use this everyday Show details

Excellent to cook almost everything – 1.) very satisfied, most foods I have cooked in this air fryer have come out really good 2.) I usually cook chicken, lamb and vegetables 3.) yes very easy to clean especially when using baking paper underneath the food. Show details
Very Useful – This product is very useful in all sense of the word. You can fry anything and not to mention using it as an alternative to microwave for re-heating leftovers without the meat getting tough. Show details
Looks modern & stylish, however, disappointed in product – Very disappointed in the quality & overall functioning of this air fryer. It is not good quality & broke easily within first few uses. The handle was not strong enough to hold the recommended weight of food. It also failed to adequately cook food, even the smallest amounts. Although it looks great, this Bellini Air Fryer did not deliver, especially in comparison to cheaper air fryers I have used. Show details
Amazing – I bought air fryer for my husband as a Christmas present, I honestly was skeptical but it has been incredible. It cooks food quickly and everything comes out crispy and perfect without the oil. Show details
Awesome product – I was gifted one of these for my birthday and its the best thing I own! I threw out my deep fryer because there is no need for it anymore. I use this nearly every night to cook all sorts of things and it does not disappoint! Show details
Very happy – Brought as a father's day gift. Very happy with the result and the tafe of the food. Use it daily and is a lot healthier than deep frying. Works great and just as good as the expensive brand ones Show details
It's a good little cooker – I have found this machine to work well in most cases. It does not however like to be filled. Only cook small amounts in this and you will be very happy. Show details
Great value air fryer – I purchased this whilst travelling to cook for an allergy child. Whilst it's not as great as my Philips XXL, its a great value machine and one I'd recommend Pros -Good value -Cook quality is largely on par with my Philips XXL, however I would rate the XXL as superior for fries -Very easy to clean in comparison with my XXL - easy to use Cons - I… Read more
like to cook a whole chicken in our XXL, this would be a struggle in the Bellini due to the basket size - Doesn't come with a shelf like the XXL (but this can be purchased cheaply off eBay) - Fries cook well but not as well as the XXL
I've mainly used this machine to cook homemade nuggets, fries and roasted vegetables.
cooks perfect and easy – I was tossing up between store brand and branded air fryers, I chose the target brand one and have been so happy with it, I just put my food in. Eg chicken drumsticks and set my temperature and cooking time press start and just leave it to do its thing, it beeps when finished, I open it take out my perfectly cooked and so moist and then when the… Read more
unit is cooled most of the cleaning is a wipe with paper towel and then a bit of a wash in hot soapy water

Disappointed Air fryer – Have used this twice now to make so called crispy chips. I’m so so disappointed with this product.The chips were very dry and seemed undercooked. I had a Phillips Airfryer before this one and thought I would give the Bellini a go after reading good reviews. I will now get rid of it and go back to using a Phillips. Show details
Great value for money – I've had this Belini Air Fryer for approximately 2 months and it has proven to be a very reliable fryer. It's easy to use and takes no time at all to clean. Purchased from Target for $99 dollars and highly recommend. Would suit cooking for 1-2 people. Show details
Does the job – I like that the Bellini airfryer is not as bulky compared to others we are a family of 4 and find its a decent size. Do not compare cooking to a deep fryer as it's know where near the same. However for a healthier alternitave it certainly does a decent job. I find cooking in smaller batches better as it cooks everything more evenly and I can get the desired crisp all over. It's also really easy to clean. Show details
Use it all the time – I was cautious in buying this as other air fryers are $200+ and being the cheaper alternative I was pleasantly surprised. We cook almost everything that we would do in the oven at almost half the time. Jacket Spuds come out a dream, nice and crispy. Just don't have it on too high a temperature as it cooks on the outside a lot quicker if you do. My only complaint is the basket is on the small side but other than that for $99 you will not go wrong Show details
Was skeptical – When we bought this Air Fryer, we were very skeptical as we just thought it would be like a mini oven in a way. The first use was not as I thought it would be but soon realised that it can do more than just snack foods (party pies and sausage rolls). We use the air fryer almost every second night and we have cooked hash browns, party food, roast… Read more
potatoes, chips and squid so far and I am yet to fault it. I am not yet game enough to venture out to chicken and meats but I am sure I will be doing so within the near future. It is an easy product to use and great value for money. The only small issue I have with it is the button cover for the basket gets wet when cleaning and if you have used a sauce or something in a liquid form, it will stay under the button and its difficult to clean.
Great product – The product very easy to use and close clean . I use it almost 2-4 times a week. I would recommend this product to everyone I know. Great investment . I will purchase one for my son! Show details
Great Just love It – I just love the Air Fryer, I would like to know if I can by a Rack to put inside it to give some height and then you coud have cooking on the bottom and on the top rack.Does anyone know if the racks that come in other brands will fit this one. Show details
Worked good for a while – Gifted to me. Very impressed initially , great cooking. Simple & Easy to use. After 7 months the Fryer is possessed. Buzzer inconsistent. Sounds like a cat inside screaming. When you tap the top the buzzer stops. Program keeps changing its own settings after programed to cook. - Temp and time alters on its own. Sometimes the Fryer "Stops"… Read more
an turns itself off - when it wants to on its own.
Apart from that it cooks very well, good cooker.
No more oily deep frying FOREVER!!! – I hate myself for not having air fryer earlier. I have missed out so much on tasty and healthier fried food. Have been using deep fryer for years and you guys should know the oily aftermath from oil frying! Get an air fryer and switch your lifestyle to a far better tasty deep fried food Show details
Loving it – Got this from my daughter for my birthday this month. Ulterior motive.... She loves home made fries, but my wife hates the deep fryer. This Air Fryer is the perfect alternative. Works a treat. Plus I've since cooked other things in it. Roast chicken, atlantic salmon, a vegan nut roast (for vegan guests - who loved it)... Can't wait to experiment some more. Highly recommended. Show details
Great package – Great package. Highly recommended and appreciated. Using since 5 years now. Previously I was using deep fryer but one of my friends who were invited on dinner at my place saw my deep fryer and suggested me to use the air fryer and suggested that air fryer cooks meals in healthier way. I searched lots of fryers and those were too expensive.… Read more
Finally went on target and one of the worker suggest to buy this and really it’s been 5 years now and still working with no issues.
Having pretty much room for things to put in as much as you want.
A great alternative for cooking a variety of foods – We’ve cooked a few things in this air fryer now, and are really liking it. Most recently we made a meatloaf in it, and it turned out great. We’re able to enjoy breaded shrimp more than when we just cooked them in the oven. The fryer is easy to use, easy to clean and a much healthier alternative to deep frying, which we gave up years ago. With a… Read more
large variety of recipes available on the internet, we are ble to use this for more than just French fries.
This fryer is a great size and I love the flashing time and temp – This air fryer is the best I’ve used so far, it has a large capacity and is easy to use. The touch buttons are easy to use and the temp and time flash so you only need to check at a quick glance. It’s easy to check the food and add more time or less time, also temp. up or down. Love the colour as well. All in all I love it. Show details
