This item is dangerous
I have gone through 3 Fryair in 3 years, the first 2 died, just after 12 months. I kept returning it and got a new one, until the third literally exploded. Very lucky no one was hurt. The incident has been swept under the carpet. by the store and manufactures.
Purchased in June 2021 for $350.00.

Takes too long to cook
Product looks very impressive but when it comes to using it was way too slow to cook anything.Very overpriced. You don’t mind paying if you’re getting the performance but this one just does not have the performance.
Purchased in January 2021 at Costco for $469.00.

Can't live without it
We bought ours 5 years ago and lugged it home on public transit from the PNE. We used it a lot! This week it stopped working, I will buy a new one next pay cheque! We had some minor warranty issues which were resolved in very short order. It is the only air I know of with a rotating basket which means you can put a good amount of fries in it and they all get done at the same time.
Purchased in August 2021.

Good for the price.
Had this for about a week now. My main use will be for chips and similar items, all of which is has cooked to perfection!
Some reviews claim they cannot get the chips cooked to perfection or crispy. I managed to cook oven chips virtually perfect on first attempt. Took 17 mins(frozen) .
So far so good, I've cooked chicken wings in it, pizza(small 7inch) as well as pizza bread, All cooked fine. This is probably due to being a small convection oven in all fairness.
Cleaning the unit after cooking is simple as it all comes apart including the ...Read more
mesh wire that pops out for easy cleaning. Not sure this would be good for a family of 4, but none would unless you are buying a XXL version for over £300. I was a tad apprehensive about this Fryer but bang for buck it is hard to beat and has managed to cook everything i've put inside it, Only negative which could be seen as a positive is the very basic operation. No fancy LED control panel here. Dials and temp gauge is about it with a tick tock manual timer. Originally i gave this 4 stars but after a week i've changed it to 5, and rightly so!Similar opinion?

Still ambivalent
The Fryair was on special for mothers day, reduced by $100 and came with all accessories, we thought it sounded like a good deal so bought one. People either love them or hate them but after all this time I'm still ambivalent. I used to turn the griller on and put everything on it at once, but you can't with the air fryer. So we cook the chips first then fish, calamari etc. next and so on. Roasting is also lengthy as you can't fit all the veggies and meat in together. I don't find it cooks in any less time and it is a pain to store, but on...Read more
the plus side it is so much easier to clean than the griller or oven, it is also using less electricity and my husband likes the way his meat is cooked much better. As much as I'm not mad about it I'm also not about to give it up simply because of the cleaning aspect. Cooking with it is still pretty much trail and error because we keep cooking new things in it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Yummy
I love this oven it is great for if there is only one person eating or up to four people.
It’s much quicker to cook food and you don’t have to use a big oven .
It also is a healthy option of cooking as it reduces the fat on meat but the meat is still tender . I can cook meat and.vegetables at the same time do very little washi up . Also you can have healthy hips

2 hours at max temperature and still not cooked
This seemed like an amazing product, i decided to cook my family a small chicken and turned on at 430pm and now its 646pm and still not cooked thru. I will be bringing this back as it says 30 min - 40 mins don't buy this we bought the Fry Air Plus and will never recommend this.

Doesn't last long
Used it for 5 months then would blow the earth core balancer when we turned it on. Unfortunately had it for a while before we used it so couldn't claim it on warranty. Definitely not worth the money. Bought it at Cosco. Wouldn't ever buy another one. A trusted brand would definitely be a better option.

Customer service is appalling.

Good but then........
Bought from Costco. Worked for less than a week before the halogen globe blew. This was after the sales guy guaranteed it would last for minimum 600 hours. I was sceptical with that comment. Appears my scepticism was justified. Will be taking it back for a refund. Shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

OK for everyday use
Not so good not so bad, it just balanced out. This is an average fryer with normal settings and relatively easy to clean. However sometimes I experienced it didn't get enough hot or sometimes get so hot that it almost burnt the food.
Overall I am satisfied but it could be better.

Convenient to have quick and easy to clean
I bought this instead of using the gas oven for quick heating (frozen stuff etc) as gas is so expensive. It is quick and easy to use especially for heating frozen stuff (nuggets, chips etc). You will need to turn over the nuggets etc to get the other side browned. The cage is good for chips. So far, I haven't used it for other food yet. The size and shape are pleasant to look at. The button on the side is a little difficult to hold down for the lid to close it could have been better designed. I would have preferred a stainless steel cooking pan instead of the coated horrible toxic stuff. Overall, I would recommend for busy/lazy people as it is simple to use and convenient.

Great machine
I have the fryair air fryer. It is a great cooker, the chip barrel cooks beer batter chips to perfection. Plenty of room for all kinds of meals.
Easy to clean. Has suction cups under to stop from slipping. Highly recommend it. I have the black one which is a classier colour than the white.

Fryair
Why has my black airfry lost the coating on the cooking pans....I have had the Fryair only for about 6 months. I ordered through watching a promo from Darryl on the tv? Not happy and especially with no cookbook. I would have to buy that from AIRFRY. Chips takealong time

Perfect for quick meals, steak, chips meat pies.
Works well for most meals, does lamb chops, steak, frozen chips, reheating frozen pies, veges, toast and reheat scones. As per the Turbo Health Instructions. Model FRY001..
The temp and timing settings have wiped off with cleaning after a short time so keep the manual.
I phoned the TV marketing people who Google found as the only supplier and they kindly sent out a specially made stick on temperature timer settings which has fixed that issue. Must have been a recognised problem..
Comes with many stainless steel spears, baskets and grabbers, tray and Teflon cake tin..
September 24th 2017 Update: FRYAIR bench top oven, griller, toaster, Turbo Health Oven
Bought from Costco, cooks their chops really well. ...Read more
Great for re-heating pies, better than a microwave as it keeps the pie crisp. Does nice lamb chops well. Does chips well, from frozen. The tools for lifting the hot trays out are flimsy but work if careful. All the temperature and timer settings wiped off as we cleaned it, but SHOWTV said they would send some more!

Not worth the money
We purchased from tv on trial. Im so glad we did the trial instead of actually buying it, even if it cost us around $40 to return it. Cooking chips took sooooo long,probably longer than the conventional oven. Meats turned out delicious but were too long to cook for me. The extras i didn't find id really use either.
