This air fryer is basically everyday cooking with a cheat code. It makes meals faster, crispier, and - thanks to the clear viewing window - dramatically more entertaining. Yes, you can finally watch your fries transform without opening the basket every 30 seconds “just to check.” The built-in viewing window and internal light mean no more… Read more ·  1

heat-losing basket peeks. Just stand there like a proud parent watching nuggets grow up. Inside, the DiamondForce non-stick tray is tough, easy to clean, and seemingly immune to the usual post-dinner scrubbing rage. Sunbeam claims it’s 2x more durable than standard non-stick, and honestly, it feels like it could survive a small argument with a fork. With this design, Sunbeam clearly understands reality.

Despite its compact size, this air fryer punches above its weight. It doesn’t hog bench space, yet the 4L capacity is perfect for singles or small households who want dinner done without feeding a football team. You get 10 cooking functions: Fries, Wings, Poultry, Pork, Fish, Veggies, Bake, Dessert, Dehydrate, and Reheat. These are accessible via a clear digital touch interface that doesn’t require squinting or a user manual breakdown. Manual time and temperature control is also included, so you can tweak settings when you’re feeling confident (or rebellious). I found with some items I had, I had to either reduce the cooking time or the temp as some items came out crispier than I'd like using the presets.

Powered by 360-degree hot air flow, it delivers fast, even cooking with less oil—so you can feel slightly smug about being “health-conscious” while eating chips. It also includes the usual safety and convenience features you’d expect at this level: auto shut-off, overheat protection, and a cool-touch handle - all quietly doing their job in the background so dinner doesn’t turn into drama.

I especially went for this model because it doesn't have any plastic parts in the cooking tray (tick) and because of its glass window so I can watch my food "mature" (double tick).

-- Pros --

Super easy to use, with a digital interface that doesn’t require a manual or a deep breath

Non-stick tray is easy to clean and dishwasher safe

Viewing window is a standout feature (no more unnecessary basket opening)

Solid build quality for the price

-- Cons --

The rubber bumpers on the tray may wear out over time

Will feel small if you’re cooking for a big family or very hungry teenagers. This is meant more for solo, or solo-and-a-half, cooking.

Fingerprints will stand out on the glossy interface.

-- My verdict --

The Sunbeam Alinea Digital DiamondForce 4L Air Fryer (AFP4510BK) is a stylish, little powerhouse that seems to have a near-cult following in Australia. Especially from Myer where I got mine for less than $100 (and numerous others got theirs from the reviews). It’s ideal if you value convenience, easy cleanup, and the simple joy of watching food cook like it’s a tiny TV show. Compact, capable, and surprisingly fun - this one earns its bench space. And at the sale price-point of $100, you really can't go wrong unless you need something bigger.
