Kmart Anko 1.5 Litre Air Fryer

Don't buy this model – Only used it properly ten times, then it was temperamental with the controls then stopped working altogether, waste of money. Kmart should recall this product, not fit for purpose.

Cheap and good for small quantities – bought this smallest (1.5 litre !?) size from KMart (?$49) to try for snacks - a friend bought a family-sized for $400 which she likes but we don't have the bench space bad - you can't do a big roast it maxes at 200C which won't do 500C pizza Napoli or such when you want 250C good - crisps up beautifully and fat drips into the double bowl below… Read more

for easy wipeout with a paper towel if feels healthy when you see all the fat that came out of the food if looks tasty when it crisps up beautifully it's easy and quick to heat up and seems to emit less smoke than a hot full-sized oven

last cooked - 2 lamb loin chops - on edge with fat edge up - meat from room temp meat ended up not pink in the middle, so I got the useful hint to cook it 200C from frozen, so by the time it's crispy outside, it's still pink in the middle - check at 4 mins, maybe turn a little, then another 4 mins it's crispy !

and yes - the convenience - just press the button to accept the default 200C 15minutes - then just check it every 4 minutes - just pull out the drawer, it stops automatically - turn the meat/toss the chips/whatever - then shove it back in, and it restarts automatically

the much shorter cooking time seems energy saving - the much smaller oven volume must be cheaper to heat and wipe clean with paper towels is easier than kneeling and reaching into a large greasy oven

so on cleaning alone I think it beats a full-sized oven for one-person meals - I haven't done frozen chips cos milady does those in the big oven on a tray and I ain't gonna ask for a change on that.

I haven't used it a lot so haven't had any breakdowns, but for the odd job I think it's great.

Fast and easy to clean – 100% satisfied with the food produced by this air fryer, fast accurate and easy to clean. Clear instructions even a kid can use it. I usually cook chicken ,fish and chips. No need of oil at all. Freshly fried chicken with no oil is my family's favorite. Show details

Rubbish product – I bought first one, just used 3 months, then it was not working, back to kmart, changed second one, been used twice, not working. I requested refund. Terrible experience with it. I am going to buy good brand air fryer. Show details

Perfect for 1 person – I bought this 8mnths ago and find it's perfect for the amount of chips just for me, I use it to heat frozen pies/sausage rolls etc as well as chicken tenders and fish fillets and also for frozen potato bakes It took me awhile to work out that it needs a long press on the power light to start it but since then, no probs, easy to clean and I expect… Read more

that with proper care it should last quite awhile, Cheap to buy at $49 and cheaper to to run than most others I love this little beast and use it several times a week,

Impressive Fireworks – 2nd time I used it I heard some noises then sparks and smoke were visible. The fryer died. Very scary. Rang Kmart and spent hours getting through to the right disinterested person who arranged a credit. Show details

As good, No better, then the X-wife – One of my best investments. Is used every day. Now buying one for my Mother. 85 to 90% of my meals are cooked in this, in my bedroom. thank you Kmart Show details

Almost Perfect – I have had my Air Fryer since the middle of May and used it for a whole range of fresh things e.g. chips, fish, drumsticks, wingettes, prawns, damper and several frozen crumbed items from the supermarket. My only concern is the three small screws holding the handle on. I have tightened them three times already. Don’t be tempted to carry the whole… Read more

unit by the handle-it looks like you can! Even then the three little screws look a weak spot in the design.

Worked 6 times – Worked well for the first 6 times I used it, then completely died. I used it for reheating pies and sausage rolls mostly. I cooked chicken wings in it once. Returned it 10 days ago. Still waiting for my refund. Poor quality. Show details

Great for potato chips – I bought this specifically for chips but it will fry a variety of foods. At first when the chips had to be "turned" I had trouble turning the fryer on & off but this was not necessary - simply remove the pan (easy), shake it all around then reinsert. It automatically resumes frying from when it was taken out. The automatic settings take the… Read more

guess work out of calculating. I'm very impressed with my new fryer which is the cheapest on the market($49). It's also non-stick.

Perfect appliances – Purchased 2 months and i never stop using it. I air fried mostly everything now. I bought the small one and its just enough size for 2 people. Easy to clean too. Show details
