Makes Preparing Dinner So Much Easier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this appliance and I'm very happy at how it helps with putting a delicious dinner on the table in a timely manner. The first night, I cooked frozen chicken tenders. I added nothing to the basket but the chicken. They cooked up perfectly and were crunchier than cooking in an oven. I served them in a mix of fresh greens. The next time, I cooked marinated tenderloin by making 1" slices. I was concerned that the marinade would cause a problem but it did not. The pork was awesome. Tonight I cooked fresh whole boneless chicken breasts with olive oil and a little seasoning. Perfect...better than cooking on a grill because it can dry them out...these were moist. Next I'm going to try beef fillets and I'm going to guess they are going to be terrific based on what I've found, so far. It was a difficult choice in deciding what is most important to me in using this product because clean up is a cinch...so easy and so easy to use with the guide giving good instructions. I would have liked to be able to choose more than one! I love this appliance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like having fried food & due to diet restrictions I could only "Bake Fry". I enjoyed frying without the greasy fats and mess to clean up. It's easy to use; cooking chart and the option to use the preset programs or manually. It has hidden storage for the cord. I made fried chicken, chicken was tender, french fries were crispy.

Best Air Fryer On The Market

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air fryer is terrific. It is well made and takes up very little room on the kitchen countertop. I have used it to fry chicken breast with just a gentle spray of Pam and in as little as 20 minutes the chicken came out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fryer compartment is very easy to clean and there is very little mess after using and clean up is a snap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh My Goidness! I have simply fallen in love with the Hamilton Beach Air Fryer! So easy to use. I love that it is digital and no dials to have to turn. You use minimal to no oil. First off I made frozen french fries follwed by chicken nuggets made from scratch! So good! Minimal time to cook and clean up. Found a recipe for a booming onion which I plan to make tomorrow. Can't express how thrilled I am!!! If you want to make delicious, guilt free food then this is the product for you.

Hit or miss

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this product. I made green beans that turned out perfect. I made zucchini and broccoli that were great. I even made kale chips that were successful. However, I could not make potatoes. Each time I try to use the air fryer for the recommended amount of time, it would overheat. My potatoes never finished cooking. Vegetables this is a great product, but anything that requires a longer cooking time will not be successful. The product continues to overheat at 400.

Fast and Easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little air frying unit. I admit that before receiving it I wasnt keen on the idea of air fryers. They seemed like mini convection ovens and I already had a convection oven so I didn't see the point in adding another gadget when my oven already did the job. But boy was I wrong.
Not only does the food come out tasting better than baked but it does so in half the time of baking. It isn't a replacement for the standard deep fryer but if you want the convenience and healthier food I highly reccommend it.
Some of the things I love is how fast it cooks frozen foods. Because of that I use it almost every day.
I also love the simple to use interface and the easy to push touch screen buttons.
It is very easy to clean the cooking chamber and fry basket as they slide out and easily come apart to be washed. Not sure if I can put them in the dishwasher so I just hand wash them. The unit is very sturdy when it is put together.
However, there are some issues I did have with the fryer. The most notable one is that the preset time and temp for fries is way too long, at least for the waffle cut I typically use. Now, I just use a shorter time preset and watch the food as it cooks. I'm not sure how other food presets hold up to their respective food counterparts though because I just watch the food as it cooks.
Even after reading the instructions I cant figure out how custom set time and temperature, because pushing the plus and minus buttons doesn't seem to do anything, and the menu button just cycles through the preset options.
In addition, it can be rather hard to place the fry basket back into the unit. It seems to need to be in just the perfect position to snap into place. It is rather annoying for me but I can manage. I can see where it would be even harder for someone with shakey hands or mobility issues to put the basket back into place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this air fryer about a week ago and couldn’t be more happy. It is so simple to use and the food tastes amazing. Not only that I finally got my son to eat a hot dog in 3 years since it was made in the air fryer it was healthier. The French fries came out super crispy and all you had to do was hit a button and they were done in 6 minutes. They were nice and not and crunchy on the outside I wanted more but then their was fried raviolis I made they were a great appetizer for my son and his friends before the game. Super quick snack to hold them over. I can’t tell you how happy I am with my air fryer it is the best lichen tool I have had in a long time.

Awesome Way Fry With AIR

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would like to thank Hamilton Beach Ambassador program for the opportunity to review the digital air fryer that we received. We were very excited to try it out to see how it could cut calories and use less oil with fried food preparation for meals and snack time. We have never tried an air fryer before but have seen a lots of TV advertisement for different products and were happy to test this product for the Hamilton Beach Ambassador program.
The first item we tried were frozen cheese sticks for the kids and they turned out amazing. Our son and his 2 friends were over and we made several batches of frozen cheese sticks and they were amazed at how fast the snacks were ready to eat while the boys were playing their video games. Next we tried frozen pizza bites and they were just as good as the cheese sticks. They were dry and crispy when using the digital air fryer over using a conventional deep fryer which is how we have done our fried foods in the past. We also used to bake them in the oven which made them too hard.
Next, we tried fried fish fillets and chicken tenders in the air fryer. I have to admit the chicken and the fish were frozen and not fresh but I have to say both came out amazing when we made them in the air fryer. The chicken tenders were crispy as if it was fried in iron skillet and the fish fillets were amazing. We also did frozen steak fries for the fish and just like the other items we have made in the air fryer they were crispy and great.
Overall I would rate the Hamilton Beach Digital Air Fryer a 10 for quality and ease of use and the food taste great being kid tested and husband approved.
