Purchasing an Air Fryer

[HHTel]

Actually the one I mentioned is only 12" wide. Ideal for 2.
It is more expensive but it'll cover most of your cooking. My daughter bakes cakes, brownies and biscuits in it and all much quicker than a conventional unit.
But I'd say any air fryer is better than the more conventional way of cooking.

Someone earlier mentioned surprise in using oil. There are certain things that require some oil. I use an oil spray for chips, roast potatoes and some vegetables.

After reading all the comments and watching numerous YouTube videos I decided to take the plunge and ordered an Haier 2.5L air fryer from Lazada yesterday for just short of 1.5k Thai Baht.

It arrived today and thus far I am ecstactic..My Swedish meat balls have turned out truly delicious. I must add that the instruction manual was all in Thai but I managed to download an English version from the Interweb.

Gonna try chips and jacket potatoes later on.

Apparently the warning about frying your Swedish meat balls was not clear in the instructions. Do you understand this is a kitchen appliance and not a sex aid?

Funniest comment I've read on the forum. Thanks.

Thank you all. The Smart Home seems to be in my price range. I'd like a smaller model, there's only 2 of us.

Hello, did you buy it and did it meet your expectations ? Are you satisfied and would you recommend it ?
As I am looking into buying one but not sure which model, don't want a big capacity one as there's only 2 of us.
Any advice of experiences from other members welcome.

Joelle, to compensate you for the missed awning. I have 3 air fryers(not a boast) one of which dumfounds me at times but it's yours for free if you want to do some at home testing. If you want it send HHTel a PM and he will give you my mobile number.

***cancel the HHTel ref. I sent you a PM**

We are going to buy one when we arrive. Presumably they sell them in BluPort/Market Village?

/\ Lots of choices particularly in MV Home Pro

I didn't buy one as I figured it wouldn't get enough use to justify taking up counter space and having to move it around all the time.

Actually, my air fryer is the most used item in the kitchen. My daughter bought one in the UK and she tells me that almost everything is cooked in it, even boiled eggs!
It does appear to be quite a craze in the UK.

It’s all down to the incredibly high cost of electricity in the UK and an air fryer uses a fraction of the electricity that a main oven uses. The only drawback is if you have a large family you’re quite limited on what can be cooked in them, but for 2/3 people they’re ideal.

It also does boast that it is healthier than traditional frying. We use ours quite a bit.
