CHEFMAN 2 Qt Mini Air Fryer – Digital Space-Saving Compact Air Fryer with Nonstick and Dishwasher Safe Basket, Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes, Features Digital Timer and Shake Reminder – Black

Love this! Its very easy and straight forward to use. It's a little smaller than expected but its actually not bad for a one person or two people use. Very easy to clean and the food cooks fast as well. No need for "pre heating" it good to use and cook your food right away.

I never write reviews... but I'm obsessed with this air fryer. No joke it has literally changed my life hahhaah. First off - I don't cook. Never have. Always hated it. I'm neurodivergent and I'm very good at a lot of things but just not in the kitchen - I hate the prep, the smells, the number of options for tools and pans, etc... the way the stove or oven heats up the whole kitchen, and the huge amount of dishes and whatever you have to clean up afterwards. I think the thing that bothers me the most though is that it's hard to find good recipes - people will just share horrible recipes that take forever to make (and groceries are expensive these days!) You spend all that money and end up with something gross. Or I would mess up and burn something or undercook something because there are so many nuances that go unspoken in cooking. All ovens have different internal temperatures... cooking on gas or electric stoves affect the types of pans you may be using... I don't even know which pans are good for what types of foods... there's so much to consider and it all goes widely unsaid in recipes. So I often would try to make something and end up throwing it out. Not fun. Long story short, it's just not worth it to me. Luckily my spouse is an amazing cook and loves the art of it. He knows how to make anything and how to take a recipe and alter it to be GOOD, so he does all the cooking! Fast-forward to him having to leave for about a month this summer and I'm really struggling in the kitchen alone every day. My mom suggested getting an air fryer to make my life easier - just a small one (she recommended this exact model backed by research and thousands of great reviews). I thought okay maybe it would be nice to heat up some frozen food and have it be cooked better than a microwave at least, I don't know. I always thought air fryers were a gimicky thing - just another dumb gadget to take up space on the counter. Not interested. But I ordered it anyway... she was adamant I would like it. And oh. My god, was she right. I had no idea!! First of all, pretty much everything frozen or pre-packaged has air fryer instructions on the back. You just dump some stuff in, set the temperature and time, and in a few mintiess, you have something that is PERFECTLY COOKED. It's too simple. Nothing comes out rubbery or unevenly cooked like in the microwave. Everything is chef's kiss - crispy, cooked, perfect... almost like grill-level good. And you just push a button. It's so small, there are no pans or excess dishes to wash after. You just wait for the basket to cool off then rinse with a bit of soap and water the end. Or you can even use those air fryer basket liners - even less clean up! Then I tried making real food... he air fryer recipes on the internet are sooooo simple - buy a thing, season it, maybe spray the air fryer basket with some olive or avocado oil, then press a button. So then I tried to make stuff not from frozen bags! I made buffalo wings... brussel sprouts... cheeseburgers... chicken breast... asparagus... even steak!!! It may sound stupid but this is HUGE for me. Like - I bought raw meat and was 100% confident that the air fryer would cook it correctly and that I wouldn't make a mess or overwhelm myself. And that's exactly what happened! Quick, easy dinners in MINUTES with no mess. It's a miracle. It's like, what I always wanted cooking to be lol, just pop something in a little drawer, set the time and temp and bam, it's done. It reminds of that gadget in Back to the Future 2 - I hope someone else remembers this - when they go visit the McFly house in the future and they're cooking dinner in that "hydrator" thing and the mom pops the food in the drawer and says "hydrate level 4, please" and the food comes out perfect in like 30 seconds, hahaha. THAT'S what I always wanted and THAT'S what the air fryer is to me!!! I'm so obsessed. My spouse is back and I've been cooking multiple nights a week and he is STUNNED he can't stop laughing at my new obsession and is also very impressed that the stuff I'm air frying is really good! So he calls me the air fryer queen now. I just bought another one - a 4 qt. Chefman model so I can cook multiple things at once! So anyway - if you hate cooking and never thought you had a chance... I'm here to tell you there is hope haha. And this lil mini 2 qt. chefman is a hero for the ages.

Very nice, small but perfect for my husband and I now that we’re empty nesters. Food cooks well, love the shake reminder, doesn’t take up too much room on the kitchen counter, easy to clean and is quiet while the food is cooking.

THE GOOD: Fryer is as advertised. Works very well cooking and airfrying. Very easy to clean and the price point is very good. I purchased the Red to match my kitchen accents and its perfect. Very nice color red. It is very compact and takes up very little room on my counter top.THE BAD: This is basically for one person (which is fine for me). It would be very difficult to cook a meal for two people with the exception of French fries, tater tots etc. it only holds about 8 tiny chicken wings, 5 to 6 medium chicken wings, and 4 to 5 large chicken wings, 2 medium chicken breast or 2 small baked potatoes without crowding. This is the reason I rated it a 4 out of 5. I do recommend as long as you know this is only 2qt capacity.

This air fryer is the perfect size for a single person or a couple. It's simple to use and works very well. The non-stick coating works excellent. I didn't want a full size one for it was big and bulky on my countertop. This one fits just perfect. I love this thing and I'm glad I purchased it.

I’m honestly obsessed with this air fryer. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and makes everything taste crispy without the extra oil. I’ve made chips, chicken wings, and even reheated leftovers — all came out perfect. It’s easy to clean, doesn’t take up too much counter space, and looks sleek too. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made this year. Highly recommend to anyone looking to cook quicker, healthier meals!

I put off buying an air fryer for years because I'm a bachelor and it always seemed like the air fryers on the market were family sized and I wanted something that was good for just one or two servings. I wish I hadn't waited now because this device is great. It's small enough to store easily and just the right size for one or two people. Get a larger version if you're cooking for 3 or more. Now my fries, onion rings and chicken nuggets come out of the fryer nice and crispy. In the past I just microwaved those foods and they'd be pretty darn soft and soggy. Cook time is reasonable and I like how it tells you to flip the food mid way thru the cooking cycle. It's very easy to use. Just put your food into the basket, set the temp and the time and off you go. Fries or onion rings only take 8 minutes to cook. Chicken nuggets and tenders take a couple minutes longer. My appliances are all black so the color matched perfectly. I've only had this unit for about 10 days now so I can't speak to it's durability but it seems well made.

I'd totally new to air fryers, and am disappointed in how few instructions, directions, or recipes were included. I used it for some frozen tater tots first, which was pretty easy to figure out, and they turned out well. I then wanted to cook zucchini in it, and that did not turn out so well. I've tried to find some recipes online, particularly from Chefman, but have had little success for ones that work for a mini fryer. I had hoped to use it for fresh vegetables, so it's sort of a bust in that sense. The 3 stars were not given based so much on the fryer, but on the lack of info on how to use it
