Pro Breeze 5.5L Air Fryer - XXL 1800W Air Fryer for Home Use with Digital Display, Timer and Fully Adjustable Temperature Control for Healthy Oil Free & Low Fat Cooking

The first reason I was looking for an air fryer was french fries. Tired of the inconvenience of a conventional oven, I got to hear about air fryers and how much better the fries were. However, air fryers are pretty trendy and the market is full of products from many brands, famous or not like Pro Breeze (at least I did not know about the brand). After looking carefully at many ratings and comments for many air fryers from different brands on amazon, I got to choose this model. I did not know anything about the brand/company but decided to rely on the reviews. Even though I must emphasize, the pictures provided on amazon were not really appealing/attractive, it looked like advertisement from the 80's (I highly suggest the company to updates those to a more modern look).When I received and open the parcel: beautiful surprise! The air fryer looks sleek, modern and compact. It comes as well with a little quick start guide WHICH looks beautifully modern in the design and the way of presenting different recipes. Not even used yet, but I was already conquered by the design of the product.Some comments, if I remember well, were mentioning a suspicious/weird smell of plastic during the first use, which is true and normal I think for a first usage of such a product. However, only during the first use. Now this smells does not come out anymore.Really easy to use, some buttons here and there that are essential, and after 2/3 usages you know it by heart. Of course the first times were for french fries. There were definitely delicious, much better than a regular oven as the heat was coming all around the fries, making them crispier. And all of that, for just a small amount of oil. I then tried other types of food: veggies (zucchini, broccoli, paprika etc etc), salmon, etc etc. I must say that they were cooked perfectly, if not, better than on a pan (especially the veggies). I did not try yet baking cakes but it looks possible.This air fryer is definitely good, easy to handle and really convenient! As many comments say, it is like a little oven. You just warm it up within 5 minutes and your food is ready to be cooked! It frees one slot on the stoves if you need a lot of space to cook. You just have times to times to shake the basket in order to make the cooking more homogeneous and then you can come back to the couch and watch Netflix.The cleaning is really simple as well. It says the 2 different parts can be put in the dishwasher which is true, I did try that way. However, I guess my dishwasher was not good enough, so the fat was still remaining on the basket. I do prefer washing the basket by hands to be sure everything is clean for the next batch of food! But don't worry, it is easy to wash it manually as well.The anti-sticking coating is pretty good, it did not peel off until now. Some part slightly went off but mostly due to some friction between the two parts of the basket but nothing to worry about as it is not in contact with the food.Overall: I (and my partner) was(were) conquered by this beautiful product. It is really convenient and useful. I waited a long time on purpose to write a review in order to see if any problems would appear, but nothing came. So after 3 months, I am completely satisfied with the product and I am spreading the word for air fryers!

I did quite a lot of research before settling on this air fryer. It seemed a good price, had good reviews and came up in quite a few comparison Best Buy articles. I’m new to air frying and this is what I’ve found:Pros:So far I’ve tried chips, roast potatoes, salmon (the most moist I’ve ever eaten) and bacon and have been impressed with the results. Just using a little oil spray you get very well coloured and crisp food and slightly quicker than normal. This air fryer is very easy to use and easy to clean (much easier than oven and pans) and so far has given me great results. I’m going to try crispy buffalo style chicken this weekend and I have high hopes!Cons:It is a bit of a monster size wise!Even though it is large capacity (I certainly wouldn’t want anything with less capacity for 3 of us) you can’t do a complete family meal in one go e.g. chicken and chips. It is either one or the other. That will be the case for all air fryers. So you have to do things in batches and then keep them warm and probably lose crispness. I’d like to not have to turn my oven on, but haven’t found that to be the case. Having said that, if you are into slimming, healthy alternatives to higher fat foods that you can still indulge in, I would definitely recommend.Would have been useful to have more recipes included - there was a small booklet with very few and one of them being falafels - who routinely makes falafels! So it’s been a bit of guesswork for me on how long and what temperature to do things other than the presets. I read somewhere else 20% less time and 20% less temperature and I’m kind of going with this. I did get decent crispy roast potatoes in 35 min (parboiled as I would usually for 6-8 mins)So all in all a very good buy but Pro Breeze you need to give a bit more guidance on general cooking guidelines and more recipes please.
