Top line - this is a great air fryer. There are a few annoying things which keep it from being a perfect air fryer.
First, the fryer is so quiet you often don't know what its doing. For example in pizza mode there is a preheat phase. So when the preheat phase is over and you put the pizza in - did it start? do I have to push play? Simple fix - when the fryer is waiting for interaction, make the play button blink. Just a general visual indication that you need to push something to make the fryer work.
Second - the power button is way too sensitive. I'll be cooking something and, say, some grease splattered onto the fryer. I take a cloth and wipe it off, only the power button is so sensitive that it shuts down my cook. Simple fix - make the user hold down the power button for like 2 seconds to shut the unit off.
Third - The fan gradient when you re-insert the tray is way too quick. An by that I mean the fan goes back to top speed way too quickly. Why is this a big deal? Because if you are cooking a chicken sandwich or a burger and god forbid you want to melt some cheese on top the fan kicks up to max almost immediately and it literally blows the cheese off the protein. Simple fix - have a "melt" mode or on certain cook modes make the fan spin up much more slowly so the heat starts to melt the cheese so it sticks better and doesnt blow off.
This all makes it sound like I don't like the thing which is totally not true.. Its an amazing kitchen gadget. It just has a few idiosyncrasies that I'm pretty sure can be fixed with a software update.
Just had it a few days, but so far it works excellent. Definitely exceeds my expectations. I am looking forward to learning new ways to prepare foods with it. So far I have done Pork Tenderloin, which was the best I have had, and several chicken dishes, all juicy and cooked evenly and super fast!
First air fryer. We wanted the best. So far we love the typhur. It cooks quickly and evenly. Self cleaning is awesome. Great interface. Looks cool. Large cooking area. Great build quality. So far so good
This is for sure one of the most expensive kitchen appliances that I ever bought but it's worth it...Yes- it would be nice to have a deeper basket,Yes- it would be nice to offer parchment paper liners to be purchased that specifically fit Done 2 ,Yes - it would be nice to offer special pricing/discounts for first-responders, community heroes, military, medical,etc...on top of Black Friday discount... But it is what it is...and as they say - what you pay that's what you get! It is a premium device for a premium price! Comes with some learning curve but it's worth the time to learn and it's quite easy too! Solid 4.5 start from me ( only because mine had some tiny scratches) but otherwise perfect! Recommended!
