Chefman TurboFry Touch Air Fryer vs Instant Pot 140-3082-01

half way through it even reminds you to shake the basket so you get more even cooking. The clean up is easy because it's non-stick and dishwasher safe. However, I really prefer to use stainless whenever possible, because I worry about the chemicals in plastic, but most of the air fryers do tend to be made with non-stick materials

The basket and cooking tray are easy to clean and the non-stick coating is working well - some said the the non-stick coating is coming off, I did not see this my unit either. I did note that the results are much better if you use olive oil cooking spray on the food before frying. This is especially noticeable on breaded food such as chicken fingers. I took one star off because it comes with a terse, abbreviated guide, or manual

Like I said, however, I love how it's healthier so I'll survive. Another bonus is that you don't have to worry about oil splatter since the air fryer uses air and is enclosed while cooking anyway. We're a family of four and this is the perfect size to cook what is needed and even if it weren't for some things then I'll just cook in batches. The shake option is pretty cool especially when cooking chicken wings

Simple setup, easy to use, and can sit right on your counter and not take up much room. I love how this is so much healthier because it uses little to no oil. My kids favorite thing is how fast it completes everything. Our favorite items have preset controls so it starts with just a touch of a button

I like this one, it’s just not big enough for what I want to do. I can’t cook a full size pizza. Easy controls, easy to set. I like my inner light to stay on but this one shuts off after a minute or so

Took up a lot of space on the counter. I love my InstantPot, but this thing was used 3 times and returned. Even if the dial worked, I don’t think I could have justified keeping it.

I just received a replacement basket from Chefman as it is under the one year warranty. I recommend buying the $7.99 3 year extended warranty! I keep mine set at 400 and cook everything that way. Just reduce times if you feel it should be cooked at a lower temperature

Problem 4: The basket becomes very difficult to open and close once the unit gets hot. It sticks when the basket is closed and doesn't seem to want to close once open. I almost burned myself opening the basket. This problem goes away once the fryer/basket cools
