Bella Pro Touchscreen Air Fryer - 3.8L (4QT) - Matte Black - Only at Best Buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thus far I am incredibly please with this air fryer! My favorite feature of it is the fact that the cooking pan and air circulation crisping tray insert are both dishwasher safe, making clean up as easy as tossing both components in the dishwasher. Also, the pan and crisping tray are nonstick, so I am finding I am using less oil. I have found that the touch screen interface is high quality and easy to navigate. As with other air fryer’s, it offers different modes like bake, dehydrate, air circulate, etc. to help you accomplish whatever cooking task you are going for. Thus far I have made frozen chicken strips and sweet potato fries inside of this air cooker and have found that this air fryer is indeed far more efficient and quicker to get the job done than my full-sized oven. I also have really enjoyed making a 1.5Ibs pork loin and 6 chicken drum sticks inside this air fryer with great success! The 4qt size handles 3.3Ibs worth of food according to the description and is good for about 3-5 people for servings of items such as fries and chicken strips, and I see this as being correct. Of course, you are able to scale down if you are single like me and most of the time just cooking for yourself or wanting leftovers for later. A feature that I like about this air fryer is the turn reminder that lets you know when you are halfway through the cooking time so you can flip or shake the items inside as needed. My only thought there is I would appreciate a louder beep than it comes with stock as it can be hard to hear if you are not in close proximity. Another feature I appreciate is how you can pull out the tray and reinsert anytime during the cooking cycle and it will resume the cooking cycle you are on. Overall, I am very pleased with this Air Fryer and happy to have it in my kitchen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two kids who love their chicken nuggets, chicken fingers, fries and hash browns and we have an air fryer which worked pretty well but being an older model, it took a bit to warm up and sometimes the food was not cooked all the way through and sometimes took longer than expected to cook. So getting this Bella Pro series touch screen 4 Quart Air fryer was something of a blessing. We had been meaning to get a new one and this one showed up just in time for us to try out with my family. So let get to it. -Setup So there is nothing to setup on this Bella Pro Series Touch screen Air fryer. This unit comes ready to use right out of the box, you may have to remove some wrapping but that about it. The unit is extremely simple to use and comes with multiple cooking options such as Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Reheat, Keep Warm, Pizza and even a dehydrate option. All you have to do is make your selection on your cooking options, set the temp and the time and your ready to go. When the unit is finished doing its thing it will let you know that the food is ready with and audible and visual confirmation. ***CAUTION: FOOD COMES OUT HOT AND DELICIOUS*** -About the unit The Bella Pro Series Air Fryer comes in Matte Black, which looks pretty nice, and delivers a 1500-watt heating system. It offers an adjustable temperature range from 90 to 400 degrees. The cooking basket and the crisping try are dish washer safe which is a blessing, but just to be safe I placed the tray and the basket on the top rack of the dishwasher, and the unit it self is easy to wipe down. The unit is also said to consume 45% less energy than conventional ovens and heats up 50%. I will say that the preheat was much faster than my older unit and we were able to cook our food faster and was cooked evenly. The cooking basket is a also a good size. We were able to put about 2lb of fries in the fryer and cooked everything evenly. The unit does say that you can cook up to 3lb but I would recommend not to overfill it. My experience with this unit has been great. It has worked without any issues, easy to clean and even looks good. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for an air fryer to check out this unit.

This was a gift for my daughter who is in college and says that the air fryer is perfect for its size and functions. The 4 stars is due to the fact that the box arrived broken.

I love my Bella series air fryer I depend on it more than anything right now and when I cook with it I just love how my food turn out I took some boneless pork chops and it was just as tender as can be I didn't think that it would be like that but it did turned out real well I cook chicken Taquitos in it tater tots french fries I haven't tried the okra but Imma Try real potatoes you make my own french fries from scratch see how it turns out I'll let y'all know. But I love my air fryer I bought one for my sister in Houston and she just loves hers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] --- SETUP --- The setup for the Bella Pro Series Touchscreen Air Fryer is as simple as plugging it in and turning it on. The cord is not detachable and the packaging is easy to remove. --- FEATURES --- The key feature of this fryer is the touchscreen interface, 1500 watt heating system, and a 3.3lbs food capacity. The heating modes include Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Reheat, Keep Warm, Pizza, and Dehydrate. --- PERFORMANCE --- The performance is as expected but I do appreciate features that some of my older air fryers didn’t have. When air frying food, I use a small amount of oil or spam spray and it is easy to clean up afterwards. The food does cook considerably faster than what’s recommended on the packaging of what you’re cooking. There’s a growing trend in food packaging that now includes the amount of time to cook items in an air fryer, and this works as well. My favorite mode to use on this new fryer is the bake mode. I don’t bake bread much, but I do like my baked pastas. Specifically, I like baked ravioli, and this air fryer is the perfect size for a ravioli meal for 2. Another function my older fryers lacked is one labeled pizza, which I see on microwaves but I never use. Here, I put in frozen pizza (that's on a half italian long bread) and it comes out crunchy and savory. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The product meets my expectations. In previous fryes, the basket that holds the food always has rubber feet that get lost. This one looks like the rubber holders will last longer before I see wear and tear. The cleaning is quick and easy if you clean immediately after your food is out. After cooking a cordon bleu, the cheese melted off onto the fryer but it didn’t stick and was easy to pick up with a fork and put it on my chicken. Simply rinse it to remove anything that might dry and you can do a more thorough cleaning later if needed. --- VALUE --- The price for the air fryer in terms of value is just right. Since using air fryers, my time spent in the kitchen has been reduced because I can get meals done quicker and that alone is worth the investment. --- APPROVAL --- I highly recommend this product for people who are amateur chef’s who need to cook food for 2 or less and like the idea of setting your food and waiting without heavy monitoring.
