Owner of the first-generation dome model says the air fryer is barely audible while running.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 2 days ago

Air fried a 5.5 lb spatchcocked chicken in their 6-qt Instant Vortex Plus and it cooked well, though flipping the bird was tricky in the tight space. They would go bigger next time.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 2 days ago

Uses the 8-qt two-basket Foodi DualZone at least every other day as a single person, cooking a main and a side in separate baskets finishing together. They find the smart cook and match cook instructions easy.

We are four at home and this replaced a small Tefal that needed three rounds for one dinner. A big bag of frozen fries fits in one go and they come out crisp and even, the fries program is spot on. Chicken thighs I set by hand at 180 degrees and they are done sooner than in the oven, so I check early. What I don't love: it is loud. You hear the fan from the next room, and the end beep is so quiet that I miss it when I'm not in the kitchen. The fat separator under the mesh catches a lot of grease, nice idea, but after wings scrubbing it is the job nobody wants. Dishwasher works for the parts but they take up half the rack. It's also heavy and deep, and the cord is short so it has to live right by the socket. Five months in, used almost every day. Good machine, just not a quiet or tidy one.

We use it pretty much every day for the four of us. I love that I can see through the glass and stop things before they burn, and the containers go straight in the dishwasher. The 6 qt one did a whole chicken on roast with room to spare, and leftovers go in the fridge in the same dish with the lid on.

KitchenRecs · G. Walsh · 10 days ago

It's quiet, I'll give it that, you can hold a conversation next to it. The presets run way too long though. On the fries setting ours were burnt at the edges well before the timer finished, so now I set my own time and temp and check halfway. Basket goes in the dishwasher no problem. Two pork chops is about the limit before they're touching. The glossy top panel shows every fingerprint. OK for the money.

KitchenRecs · Doreen · 10 days ago

Replaced a cheap little 2 quart with this one. Fries and wings come out properly crisp and for two people it's much quicker than heating the big oven. I like that it reminds you to turn the food halfway. The first few times it smelled like hot plastic. Ran it empty twice with the kitchen window open and that went away. My real complaint is the basket. About ten months in the nonstick has started coming off near the bottom even though I only wash it by hand, and the handle feels a little loose now.

Their Typhur Sync 8QT cooked a steak at 400F for 15 minutes with almost no browning and a raw interior, making it the worst air fryer experience they have had.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 19 days ago

Owns the Sync air fryer and says the main value is the smart included thermometer, which is not suited to getting a sear.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 19 days ago

Quick bake of shredded mozzarella on a bun in the Crispi caused the cheese to explode onto the glass container.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 24 days ago

Roasts a chicken and makes lasagna or shepherd's pie weekly and bakes bread or cakes monthly in the Crispi Pro, putting veg under the tray to catch the juices; everything comes out great and the air fryer has replaced their oven except for big occasions.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 25 days ago

Is happy with the Crispi style and finds it easier to clean than their previous pull-out basket air fryer.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 25 days ago

After reading up they settled on the Cosori TurboBlaze 6 qt with its 9-inch square basket; the non-stick basket is dishwasher-safe but easy to wash in the sink, it cost just under $100 at Walmart and they would buy it again.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 25 days ago

Their Instant Vortex oven-style air fryer did a lot (rotisserie, rotating basket, trays) but nothing quickly or well; switching to the Cosori TurboBlaze was a revelation and finally felt like real air frying.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 25 days ago

Keeps a basket air fryer and an oven-style one; the basket one is their Dreo ChefMaker combi fryer, which can also cook with water, and they find the basket style better for things like chicken and fries.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 25 days ago

Recently got the Cosori TurboBlaze and loves it, not having used a pan since; their worry is grease building up around the top heating element, which seems almost impossible to clean once dirty, and Cosori advises against mesh splatter guards.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 26 days ago

Finds their Cosori TurboBlaze extremely easy to clean: a paper towel first, then a soapy sponge with Dawn removes all the grease.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 26 days ago

Upgraded from the original Crispi to the Crispi Pro and finds the Pro better in every way except portability.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 26 days ago

Has the standard Crispi: the settings only offer temperature ranges rather than an exact temperature, and the lower settings are plain heat without convection, which makes some recipes guesswork; they would have chosen the Pro.

Reddit · r/Typhur · 28 days ago

Roast potatoes, gold and russet boiled in water with baking soda, come out great when the Dome 2 handles the pan-frying step of a roast potato recipe.

Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 28 days ago

Owns the Crispi Pro and notes the removable ceramic bottom rack is an improvement over Teflon nonstick, and that stainless replacements are available.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 28 days ago

Likes the Crispi Pro they bought at Costco; their French-door air fryer oven heats from top and bottom so food needs no flipping, but the Crispi is far easier to clean, so they keep it for easy clean-up even though they have to flip food.

Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 29 days ago

Has the Crispi and says everything comes out fine without the tray, flipping larger items halfway through.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 30 days ago

Uses a Ninja FlexDrawer, mostly on the Bake setting with a small foil tray under the food; after a few years of this they rarely do more than wipe it with a paper towel and the inside looks almost brand new.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 31 days ago

Owns the same Double Stack XL with the temperature probe and says it cooks chicken drumsticks very easily: put them in the bottom basket, use the thermometer in the drumstick furthest from the fan and the probe settings to cook to done.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 31 days ago

After getting the TwinFry their fire alarm kept going off because it blows out so much hot air; pointing a fan at the alarm while cooking fixed it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 31 days ago

Compared with their old PowerXL, which was a pain to clean by hand, the Cosori TurboBlaze is quick and easy: washing and drying it takes about a minute, so they don't bother with the dishwasher.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 31 days ago

Bought the Ninja Crispi, found the lid not heavy at all, and liked it so much they bought a second one so meat and meat-free food can cook separately; after trying many air fryers it is the easiest to clean by far.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 32 days ago

Recommends the Cosori Dual Blaze they own and love; it is big enough for their household of two adults and two kids.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 34 days ago

Calls their Cosori TurboBlaze wonderful and uses it daily; now wants a larger two-compartment model to cook several things at once.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 35 days ago

Their new TurboBlaze set the fire alarm off while cooking fish on the third use, with no visible smoke, though chicken at high temperature caused no issues.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 36 days ago

Finds their Cosori Dual Blaze cooks much faster and hotter than most recipes assume; taking about 2 minutes off and lowering the temperature by 10 degrees gives great results.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 36 days ago

Uses the Ninja Crispi with its heating element in the head unit; the glass dish, crisping tray and lid all go in the dishwasher, the head unit grill stays free of grease when wiped after each use, and nothing holds food smells the way their first air fryer did.

Reddit · r/Typhur · 40 days ago

Connecting the AF05 model with the wireless probe for lobster tail was confusing, and it kept cooking past the target internal temperature instead of stopping automatically.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 41 days ago

Their first-generation Typhur Dome turns canned biscuits out ridiculously well at 330F.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 51 days ago

Rates their Philips 4000 stacked dual basket 7/10: compact, great glass drawer and light, easy to clean, but food falls through big holes in the mesh plate and the front browns faster, so it needs frequent shaking.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 51 days ago

Likes their Cosori Iconic but bought it mainly for the looks; doubts an upgrade from an older Cosori makes much real difference.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 58 days ago

Has the TurboBlaze and finds it a little easier to clean than other air fryers, though they don't use it often.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 59 days ago

Two days after delivery their Philips Series 5000 with steam (NA565/02) stopped resuming after shaking: a loose gasket on the right side keeps the basket from seating, so the closure sensor never registers.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 61 days ago

Has used the TurboBlaze daily for over a year and calls it a beast; it cooks so fast that frozen-food times need a couple of minutes off and the temperature lowered 10–20 °F.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 61 days ago

Following standard air fryer charts, food in their TurboBlaze usually burns, while lower temperatures leave it not crispy; its guide and decal cover only a few foods.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 63 days ago

Their 6 qt Crispi Pro worked smoothly at first, but now the two smaller glass containers aren't recognized and only the large one works.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 64 days ago

Had the 8-qt DoubleStack for about 1.5 years and generally liked it, but the crisper plate coating came off and Ninja has no replacement plates for it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 64 days ago

Used their Instant Vortex Plus 6 qt very heavily, two or three times a day, and thought it was great; after about a year it stopped cooking properly with a grinding fan noise, and Instant replaced it even though the warranty had just expired.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 64 days ago

Their Instant Vortex 6 quart has worked for years, several times a day, and they call it worth every penny.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 66 days ago

Finds the Ninja Crispi great for reheating and very easy to clean.

Reddit · r/BuyItForLife · 66 days ago

Has the Ninja Crispi and calls it great, cooking fast and getting food really crispy with its glass container, worth the high price.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 67 days ago

Just got the Ninja Crispi 6-in-1 and finds it a pretty cool product, but its button and finish beeps are very loud and can't be muted, which bothers them as a late-night snacker.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 67 days ago

Their new Crispi Pro, their first air fryer, leaves a lot of food undercooked even following the instructions: fresh fries come out dry but not crispy and raw inside, and on two layers the bottom barely cooks.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 67 days ago

Has had the Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8 qt for a couple of years and it works well for them.

Reddit · r/AirFryers · 70 days ago

Basket depth hasn't been a problem at all for regular chicken breasts, thighs, pizza, steak, and baking. Cleanup is easy without liners and the built-in self-clean feature works well.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 71 days ago

The best of the three air fryers they've owned: 18 months of daily use, inexpensive, a fairly quiet DC-motor fan, a ceramic-coated crisper tray and it goes up to 450F.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 72 days ago

Has had the TurboBlaze for three months and loves it for its size and easy cleaning; the ceramic coating cooks food very quickly, though fan speed cannot be set manually.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 72 days ago

Calls their Typhur Dome 2 an absolute workhorse and a joy to use.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 72 days ago

Still uses the Ninja 4 qt AF101 bought in 2019 about five times a week, but its 300–400F range is limiting and they are tempted to upgrade to a glass or ceramic basket.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 72 days ago

Has had the Cosori Iconic for four months and loves it, especially for cooking a whole chicken.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 72 days ago

Uses the Ninja Crispi Pro and finds it so easy to clean.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has used the Ninja AF101 for about four years and uses it for pretty much everything: fries, chicken, vegetables and reheating leftovers.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Had an AF101 for a little over a year, and then got a second brand-new one; their mother now has the first, which survived an apartment fire.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Switched to the TurboBlaze after a mediocre older air fryer and is in love with it, finding it sleek.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Replaced a Ninja Flip with the TurboBlaze and has been pretty happy, noting only some white steam when cooking fish.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has used the Instant Vortex Plus 6 qt with the window for four years; it still works fine apart from plenty of permanent baked-on seasoning inside, so it may be time to retire it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has used the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400UK for two years and would buy another if they had to.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Uses their Cosori TurboBlaze mostly for fish sticks and chicken nuggets so far and loves it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Got the Cosori TurboBlaze to replace a recalled Cosori 6 qt and loves the upgrades and how easy it is to clean.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Bought the Cosori Pro LE 5 qt with ceramic coating in September 2024 and still loves it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Splurged on the Typhur Dome 2 as their first air fryer, also replacing their toaster oven; a little pricey but so far so good after two weeks.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has a smaller, simple blue Ninja 4 qt air fryer which they find great.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has had their $89 Ninja AF101 for close to six years, cleaning baked-on grease with an OxiClean paste and a scrubber.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Replaced a Cosori that fell apart after five or six years with the Cosori Iconic and loves its all-metal build and heavy ceramic.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Has had the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181 for two years and it has held up well; prefers the basket drawer to an oven style for ergonomics but wishes they could mute it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 73 days ago

Replaced a Cosori after three years with the Ninja 4-in-1 Pro basket air fryer and is not impressed: homemade potatoes and fries cook but never get crispy, though they are experienced with air fryers.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 76 days ago

First run with a frozen pizza yesterday turned out a very crispy crust and cooked way better than a standard oven.

Reddit · r/AirFryTalk · 85 days ago

Super quiet to the point you can barely tell it's running, and the dual heating elements get chicken thighs super crispy outside and juicy inside without the tray. Holds closer to 20 wings than the claimed 32.

Reddit · r/AirFryTalk · 85 days ago

After owning several air fryers, this one is in a league of its own thanks to the silent operation, large footprint, dual heating elements, and easy cleanup.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 90 days ago

On first use of the Philips 4000, the transparent plastic part of the container cracked while it was running.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 90 days ago

The TurboBlaze tripped the fire alarm the first time it was used on the air fryer setting, probably from burning off factory chemicals, but it has been fine ever since.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 92 days ago

After four years of intense use of their Philips HD9270 since 2022 they can't get it clean or non-stick again, and it always needed almost double the time to get food crispy.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 92 days ago

Got the Philips dual 4000 earlier this year and is very happy: two stacked baskets are handy for protein and veggies with a small footprint, and the inside light saves opening the baskets.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 93 days ago

Has the Philips dual basket with steam and recommends it: the fry-and-steam option is great for vegetables and makes cheesecake easier than ever.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 94 days ago

Works great, though the wide 12.6 by 12.6 inch basket makes finding pre-cut disposable liners that actually fit a headache.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 94 days ago

Uses the multiple fan speeds on their Cosori TurboBlaze all the time; it helps avoid blowing toppings off and keeps reheats from drying out.

Reddit · r/instantpot · 95 days ago

Replaced their dead air fryer with the Ninja Crispi Pro, which is now nearly their daily driver.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 99 days ago

Their Ninja Crispi has a loud beep when it starts and finishes.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 99 days ago

Replaced their dead air fryer with a Cosori Iconic, but halfway through cooking on its second day the fan started making a loud noise.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 103 days ago

Calls the TurboBlaze one of the strongest air fryers around, with its DC motor, 450F top temperature and adjustable fan speed; makes pita pizzas at 400F in 7 minutes.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 103 days ago

Absolutely loves their Cosori TurboBlaze after two full years: the crisper tray hasn't lost its coating, unlike their old Gourmia, and they'd buy another immediately.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 103 days ago

Their Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer does salmon and fish without drying them out, plus steaks, air frying, broiling and toast.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 104 days ago

Would marry their Cosori 9-in-1 TurboBlaze 6 qt if they could.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 104 days ago

Loves their Instant Vortex Plus 4 qt and uses it almost daily with the microwave in a small kitchen, also making toast in it.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 104 days ago

Lives alone and uses the portable Ninja Crispi every day; the glass bowls are easy to clean, though it doesn't bake well.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 104 days ago

Their Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket 9 L (3 L + 6 L) does really well for a family of four and fits a medium roast chicken.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 105 days ago

Made pork jerky on dehydrate at 165F in their Ninja AF101; it turned out great, if a bit dry.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 108 days ago

Just got the Ninja Crispi Pro 6-in-1 glass fryer; it makes great toast, English muffins and bagels, and you can watch them brown through the glass with the light on.

Reddit · r/instantpot · 108 days ago

Got the 4 qt Vortex Plus air fryer for their birthday and calls it a treasure.

Reddit · r/airfryer · 110 days ago

Their Ninja Crispi cooks two servings of frozen nuggets and fries in 10 minutes and is super crispy.
