About 1 month in, we are loving our Dome 2 and using it daily.
It cooks very well, and the cleanup is a dream for how easy it is. I have used the self-clean one time as a test and it seemed to work well.
Our only con for the unit is the shallow depth ot the pan. The pan is plenty large, doing a 12 in frozen pizza or 4 grilled cheese sandwiches at once, but the 2 in depth limit doesnt rear its head on occasion
Many great features. Mostly bought for the large basket. Seems strange to leave out some basic features that others get right. You can change the time and temp settings on both the unit and the app for the different functions (Air fry, pizza, steak, etc.) but you can't re-program them. So if you find that you air fry fries at a different temp than what is programmed on "Air fry", then you will have to change the setting every...single...time you want to use that function. With an app you have soooo much more varied user interface, but they didn't take advantage of that. Many other air fryers just let you hold down the function button with the new time and temp and boom! you're preset has been changed and you'll never have to change it again. Not Typhur. You will have to change it manually every...single...time... Also, the basket handle extends below the bottom of the basket, so if you set it on the counter, it's tipped and wobbly. To avoid this, you set it on the edge of the counter with the handle hanging over the edge so the basket can sit flat on the counter. One wrong move and the basket falls off and the handle breaks when it hits the floor. Frustrating. I have already had this happen once and ordered a new basket. Lastly, the bottom of the pan is domed so it's higher in the middle. I assume it's to support the middle of the grill/grate. The undesired effect is that there is very little clearance (0-1/8") between the floor of the basket and the grate. So not great flow and things tend to burn since you have a lower heating element and poor airflow. Overall, they won a lot of business by having a huge surface are basket with enough real estate to be a dedicated pizza oven. BUT...at 2-3 times the price of all the competition, they really should have included the basic convenience and design features that make their competitors products so successful and easy to use/customize.
First things first…. This thing is a beast! Built like a tank. That being said, there is a learning curve. With the heating element so close to the food, it doesn’t act like your normal air fryer. Hopefully, food gurus will play with different foods and offer advice.
This well made and easy to operate air fryer is worth every bit of the price. This not just a fryer, but a multi function small appliance that can cook everything from breakfast to dessert. It’s preset functions are: pizza, bacon, steak, wings, fries, frozen, air fry, roast, grill, bake, griddle, dehydrate, broil. It also has a self clean mode enables you to clean the oil and stains from upper internal chamber. The manual is well written. Typhur app allows you to search for recipes. Has a quiet operation and doesn’t heat up your kitchen either. The pull out basket/drawer and grill plate are dishwasher safe. The inside and the basket plus grill rack have a nonstick surface, so you will need to use non metal utensils. Seeing that it’s just me and hubby, there’s so many things that we can prepare without having to heat up a full size oven.

wish the cooking grate was deeper so I could cook more roast or a chicken.

Purchased a few weeks ago. I loved it until I made pizza. Was soft on the bottom. Disappointed.

Good but not perfect

First off this is a very well made air fryer. The quietest I have ever used. Only draw back is the height of food you can place inside. Anything too high will burn. Perfect for wings, fries, tatar tots,etc. Anything like a thick bagel, you need to keep an eye on it. Frozen Pizza work good, but does not crisp the bottom too well. Needs better circulation on the bottom somehow. There is no preheat button, so you have to allow a bit of time in order to get the temp at the correct level. Overall it is very good, and large. Cost is a bit steep, so best to try to get it on sale if possible
This is by far my favorite air fryer! I’ve tried five other brands in the past, and this one stands out. Initially, I was concerned that the basket might be too shallow after reading some reviews, but it turns out to be one of my favorite features. Deep baskets often waste space, but this design makes cooking more efficient.
For example, I was able to cook a tray of boneless thighs in just 15 minutes, and they came out absolutely delicious.
The self-cleaning feature is the main reason I chose this air fryer, and it has been a game-changer. It’s worth every penny! Plus, the 3-year warranty adds extra peace of mind. Highly recommend!
