Love hate relationship with this Airfryer!
I wish i could give it 5 stars, but sadly just cannot! No matter how many times i try and cook chips they never turn out right. Always seem to burn too quickly on the edges without being fully cooked in the centre, even when rotating in the basket. Basket is horrible to get in and out and is almost like trying to fit a piece of a puzzle that isn't meant to be in the spot you are trying to place it. Chicken nuggets become hard as rock on the outside and not 100% done on the inside and this is from following the manual instructions. Dehydrating f...
Read moreeature is absolutely horrible and even when following the manual, the fruit never turns out how it's meant to. The list could go on and on unfortunately. The only thing that seems to cook well is spring rolls and frozen pies.Purchased in for $269.

Very happy with my new air fryer
I purchased this air fryer a few weeks ago after returning another brand that the door glass cracked. I’m very happy to say it produced lovely pork crackling (phew) I’ve also had success with homemade chips In the basket, I often use it for salmon Pattie’s, chicken Kiev and it produces great baked potatoes. It is the first air fryer I have had that has a preheat function but it only takes a few minutes to heat due to its size, I’ve still to try baking cakes but so far I’m very happy with its performance and cleaning seems to be relatively easy, also good for saving on power bills

Another Air Fryer Convert..
I have several friends who swear by the air fryer – but I’ve always been a little cynical about needing another appliance in the kitchen. Despite my reservations – I’m a definite convert! What I really like is that for smaller meals like a quick chicken parmy, roast vegies, DIY chips, or even reheating food – it’s so much faster and more efficient than having the whole oven on. I like the three mini trays which are perfect for smaller family meals, and the chip basket is great for hand cut chips. The only small improvement that could be made is to be able to store all the elements inside when not in use – but otherwise, it’s now a key part of our weekly meal rotation.

Best appliance in my kitchen!
I'd heard and seen a lot about the huge range of things you can cook in an air fryer and was really curious to try it out for myself - the 4 in 1 did not disappoint!! Everything came out perfectly cooked in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven and was so, so easy to use . This air fryer is now a real staple in my house and I can't imagine going back to using the oven every night - definitely get yourself one, you won't regret it!

You need one!
So much better than any other air fryers I've used before. Beautiful design, simple and intuitive. Glass door allows you to see inside so you don't need to open it every now and then. The light turns off automatically, which is a great addition. Perfect size, comes with trays and a basket that rotates depending on the setting chosen. Frozen chips are cooked to perfection in the rotating basket, which prevents them from cooking unevenly. No more burnt corners! The manual was very well written and explains how and when to use the shelves and bask...
Read moreet, depending on what you are making. It can be a little tricky to use the fork to get the basket in and out its slot, but after a bit of training I can say I've mastered it. My only concern is that opening the basket while hot was not an easy thing. Not sure how that could be improved though. Same thing as before, you get better after using it a few times. All in all, I'm very happy with the product and highly recommend it.- Build Quality

Sunbeam 4 in 1 Air Fryer + Oven AFP5000BK
So I have never had an air-fryer before and I have seen a lot of cook books, including eBooks dedicated to this style of cooking, I have been keen to try one out and see how they go.
I recently received the Sunbeam 4 in 1 Air Fryer to test and keep for providing a review, and while this was a reward for a review, this review provides my open and upfront thoughts on the product.
When it turned up we were quite excited to open it up and see what was in the box, the product came well packaged and there w...
Read moreere no concerns. The product box was well labelled and looked great, the fryer and accessories were well packed and safe from receiving any bumps in transit. The Sunbeam Air fryer has a quality look and feel to it, it is black and has a matt finish to the top and sides, the front face is a high gloss finish and its like a mirror its that glossy. Everything was individually packaged and it came with 3 mesh grill trays, a non-stick tray to pick-up any spills etc, there is a rotisserie spit for cooking a chicken or something similar, there is also a cylindrical mesh basket for things like chips which rotates so everything is evenly cooked, there is also a tool to help with putting in and taking out the mesh basket so you don’t burn yourself.- +6

I understand the Hype now!
So after hearing the hype after several years about air fryers, I definitely understand why now. Hand-cut fries done in this vs. in a normal oven are worlds apart & are ready nice and quickly. Frozen fries comes out wonderfully crisp, thanks to the rotating basket & I always find myself going and checking on them by pressing the light button, which I think is a great feature for impatient people like myself!

Excellent product!!
First airfryer I’ve had, and I love it! It’s an excellent product, and very user friendly.
It’s great having the range of cooking options on the interface - can just choose one and it automatically sets the temperature and time. It also doesn’t take long to preheat, which is great. I’ve been using it to cook just about everything, as it’s much more reliable than using my normal (very old) oven.
I used the ‘dehydrator’ setting on a range of fruit (including, strawberries, mango and pineapple). This was a great snack to make during lockdown wh...
Read moreile working from home, as I could just chop up some fruit, and put it in the machine for 4+ hours (depending on the fruit). I also made both normal and sweet potato fries in the basket - they were delicious! I love being able to have nice, crunchy chips at home that are low in salt and oil (these chips only require 1 tablespoon of oil).Purchased in .

Superb, stylish airfryer!
I am thrilled with my new airfyer! My previous one was due to be retired! I was amazed at how fast this airfyer + oven heated up and cooked delicious meals! Love the window so I can watch those fries crisp up! Also with the added cylinder, everything gets an even coat without having to stop and giving it a shake. Just a bit fiddly with having to clean the area in between the doors but nothing too major! LOVE IT!

As this is my first time using an air-fryer it has been an interesting learning curve, especially with the temperature settings in the manual.
My first attempt at chicken breast was a bit of a disappointment as the chicken came out very dry. I followed the manual to the letter. The breasts cooked way faster than the manual suggested and could have done with a few spritz’ of canola oil. Even though my first batch of chicken failed I was impressed with the speed of the oven.
The home made and frozen chips cooked well in the basket, but I had t...
Read moreo keep an eye on as some edges started to brown a little. The basket is my biggest bugbear. I found it to be a little uncooperative when sliding it in and out, but like anything new I’m sure I will get used to it. Unlike my pressure cooker which I just turn on and forget about, the air fryer is not a ‘set and forget’ appliance. You do need to check on the food regularly. Although, being able to open the door during cooking times without interrupting settings is a redeeming feature. Frozen pies, and sausage rolls came out well. I am looking forward to cooking a batch of beef jerky soon.- Build Quality

What’s the most fun you can have in lock-down? An air-fryer. Everyone wants one these days. Because even if you’ve been cooking for umpteen years, you can still learn more techniques. It arrived, beautifully packed and safe as houses. Doubled boxed and padded. An earthquake couldn’t have damaged it. Sunbeam is a brand that has been in many generations’ homes. I wondered at first whether it would satisfy the hipsters.
Design-wise, the Sunbeam Multi Function Oven + Air Fryer BT7200 is modern in a mid-century kind of way with its rounded corners...
Read more and sleek rectangular shape. It is not heavy, quite easy to pick up and move. Controls are intuitive and simple to figure it out even without any reference to the slender volume of instructions. (In the trouble-shooting section, the reference to the Cleaning instructions are ‘Page 9’ but in fact it is Page 7.) The list of possible trouble -shooting issues is quite short – which is most likely a good thing. Read the ‘Usage Instructions’ on pages 5 & 6 and you’ll be able to adapt times and temperatures mentioned in any recipes, using Google to broaden the scope of cuisine you can master. Recipe book – the included 12 page instruction book was a little lacking in detail. For instance, it doesn’t clearly explain the addition of oil and seasoning (do it in a bowl). It also doesn’t detail how important it is to stick to the size limits of the food to be cooked (chicken won’t turn on the rotisserie if it is any bigger than 1.3 kg.). While these points may seem obvious to many, some people don’t know that. However, the leaflet is not the go-to recipe book – you need to go online for that one and the basic methods of cooking are explained there with some good ideas. I downloaded it to my desktop. But I found way more ideas just searching online for ideas. Cautions in the leaflet include that if using the three racks, you need to check cooking progress and swap them moving the top one to the bottom. The air fryer works from the top and items on that upper rack burn easily. I made some sweet potato fries and lost the whole upper trayful by not taking that advice. Cakes will cook from the top and are soft on the base. The tumbler basket is compact, holding enough for 4 small servings, but don’t exceed the recommended weight. You can’t cook fish, for instance, at the same time as using the bingo tumbler so you would need to allow for cooking that separately. I am still working at the ‘crisp chip’ from hand-cut potatoes/ sweet potatoes but nothing gets crisp first go. My sweet potato crisps went soft five minutes after they came out of the air-fryer even after two cooking cycles. (see pic below) Cooking the frozen French fries or string fries does not appeal to our household thought I know that could be the secret of how to get the crispest chips. What I did master was to make a batch of 2-bite cupcakes: (see pic below) I made some in small round silicone moulds and another small batch in a friand bar-style silicone tray. The round ones went to plan. The cake texture was fine. The friands were more like a little steamed pudding at the base but crispy on top. I removed them from the moulds flipped them upside down and gave them another 5 minutes and they were great. A gluten-free almond-flour based batter worked out amazingly well (I made small batches each of flourless choc and orange) and the air-fryer kept the centre quite moist.) As well, you can make those small quantities fast without heating up the whole kitchen – that makes the air-fryer more environmentally advantageous. I would rate cake as a success.Purchased in .

We received ours about a week ago. My first lot of chips was interrupted with a neighbour's medical emergency so it was not very good, but our second attempt was quite ok. (I'am a sucker for deep fried chips so probably won't ever say it's just as good!) But it was so easy to make with frozen chips (the first attempt was with fresh potatoes.) And the cleaning is way easier than with utensils full of oil! Our doctor would also give us an extra mark for keeping away from all that oil!
We used it again with the rotating basket. It take a little ...

TikTok made me buy it!
This is one of those purchases inspired by all videos on TikTok when all of a sudden you need an air fryer in your life. This one looked different than any other as it has the doors and small shelves and a turning basket.
It’s pretty easy to clean and detachable doors are awesome. I like to keep my appliances really clean so it’s a game changer. Heats up pretty quick and it’s not as noisy as I thought it could be. Not heave which makes it easy for me to hide it and move it around.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions about Sunbeam 4 in 1 Air Fryer + Oven AFP5000BK
Can you Air Fry chips without using the mesh basket?
Yes, you can simply place the fries spread evenly across the 3 x air flow racks. We recommend to monitor cooking with a possible shake of the trays for greater crispy results.
Once the cooking process is complete, how do I take out the mesh air fry basket?
It is recommended that you wait a few minutes before removing the basket. With the included handling fork, remove the basket and place basket over a wooden chopping board or a tea towel. Carefully unlock the basket latch using oven mittens or a tea towel.
What’s the benefit of dehydrating?
Using the Dehydrate Function allows you to preserve the qualities of a fresh food and maintain much of its nutritional value by dehydrating fruits, vegetables, aromatic herbs, legumes, seeds, meat, fish, cereals and whatever else you want for up to 20 hours.
Why is there a burnt smell when I turn the air fryer on?
Food build-up inside oven, on heating elements or in crumb tray is the potential cause. Please refer to “Cleaning Your Air Fryer Oven” Section, on page 7 of the manual.
Why do the heating elements not stay ON?
This is normal, the heating elements will cycle ON and OFF to maintain proper heat.
Why is the touch panel interface non-responsive?
Please see possible causes and how that could be fixed below:
• Panel is dirty or greasy - Ensure panel is clean and free of debris before using.
• Excess moisture on panel - Ensure panel is clean and dry, and use dry hands to operate.
• Controller is malfunctioning - Unplug unit and let it rest for 60 seconds before plugging in.
What should I do when the digital display shows E01, E02 or E03?
Turn off and unplug the air fryer from the power point, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging back into the power point. If the display still shows E01, E02 or E03, please call the Consumer Contact Centre at 1300 881 861 (Press Option 1 for product enquiries) or send an email to [email protected].
What should I do when the digital display shows E04?

Read morehicharron' crackling part and arranged it in 6 cm squares on the mesh shelves, fatty side down with a little salt sprinkled on it. OMG it was amazing. 200 degrees. Around 10 mins but play the time by ear and do watch it and check every 3 mins through the door (turn on the light). You'll see the bubbles increasing as your crackling becomes awesome. Best crackling I have ever made. Bonus is that you will collect the fat in the drip tray and can use this next time you cook rather than eating it.
