Product description
There are a lot of choices when it comes to air fryers. If you’re looking for one that’s under $100, this one is worth your time to look at it, but be sure to take note of the downsides so you’re not disappointed. I had mixed feelings about this air fryer after using it the first time. I’m accustomed to a Cuisinart tray air fryer that is loaded with preprogrammed menus and does a consistently reliable job. If you watch the video, you’ll see my experience cooking Lemon Pepper chicken thighs that were oiled with high-smoke point Avocado oil before seasoning and cooking them. They took approximately 10 minutes longer in this Panama dual basket air fryer than what it has taken me before to cook the same amount of food in the tray type air fryer. As a result of having to extend the cook time, some of the edges of the chicken were overcooked and a bit dry. So, the next time I need to cook something for an extended amount of time in this air fryer, I’ll want to cook it for the first two-thirds of the time in a baking bag to preserve moisture.
Here is a list of pros and cons of this air fryer:
PROS:
* Dual Baskets allow you to cook two different foods at the same time.
* Intuitive, easy to understand and use mode, time, and temperature settings.
* Quality non-stick baskets and grates easily wash up in the dishwasher.
* Very well-built; durable material and construction.
CONS:
* NO cook presets, just default settings for each mode.
* NO cookbook included. NO suggested cook times offered.
* Notification sound to indicate end of cook time is almost silent; needs to be MUCH louder.
* When cooking the same food and amount in both baskets, one basket cooked faster than the other, indicating the elements were different. Therefore, elements made cooking not reliably consistent.
* Cook time for 5 medium size chicken thighs on each side was at least 10 minutes longer than what it takes to cook in a tray type air fryer for the same amount of food.
COOKING NOTE: The instruction booklet suggests to only load the baskets one-third full. The 5 medium sized thighs filled the basket to that recommended capacity, so it was still within the manufacturer’s recommendation.
I still have mixed feelings about this air fryer. I do like a lot of its features, especially the ease in cleaning. I don’t like that the beep to tell you cooking has ended is so quiet. I was sitting next to the unit when it went off and the first two times it didn’t catch my attention, and the only reason I heard the third one is because I was actually watching the countdown when it went off. I think the manufacturer would want to make this alarm much louder because you can’t hear it if you are in another room, or if there is any noise.
I will definitely be using cooking bags to cook anything I don’t want to be dried out because the elements don’t seem to be as powerful as the three other air fryers I’ve owned and currently own, and it seems you have to cook food for a longer period of time, causing food to dry out.
The price point would be the thing that would allow me to recommend this unit, if someone was wanting to stay below $100 for an air fryer, but with advice to be aware of the cons indicated in this review. If you can live with those cons, then this unit can be very functional for the price point.
This air fryer works great! I love the dual capability, to cook two different things at the same time rather than cooking one thing and then having it get cold while the second thing is cooking. It also cleans up easily, the nonstick tray inserts were easy to remove, clean, and replace. The only issue is that the drawers go back in very difficultly, and have to be lined up just perfect, requiring multiple attempts sometimes. I do manage to get them in though. It has reheat, defrost, and other options as well, which is great. I haven’t tried the defrost, but since everything else worked great I figure that will also.
Being able to cook two different food item at once is a lifesaver, and the “Meal” sync function actually finishes everything at the same time. It heats up fast and the 1800W power gives everything a nice crisp without drying it out. Cleanup is simple since the trays pop right out, and the compact size still fits plenty of food. Definitely a great pick if you want something easy, versatile, and family-friendly!
