Bella Pro Series – 12.6-qt. Digital Air Fryer Oven – Stainless Steel

Not having a lot of spare countertop, I wanted an air fryer, but also one that could replace my toaster oven. It needed a small footprint, dishwasher safe parts and not too tall to fit under my cabinets. I read so many reviews, watched videos and downloaded the user manual for any that looked interesting. That ran into at least ten units. I am SO HAPPY WITH MY BELLA. I often use it instead of my oven. My initial concern was heat from the air fryer, but this has not been a problem at all. The air vented from the back is warm, not hot. Love the side swing door and it is so easy to clean. The only thing to watch out for (which is in the user manual, so read it), is the fan inside really pulls. Anything lightweight, like a flour tortilla, gets pulled up, so I put one of the slotted trays above it – problem solved. The non-stick trays are sturdy and really are non-stick.

I love my air fryer, It dehydrates, roasts, bakes, reheats, & the main thing of course is the air frying. This air fryer has the door opening sideways like a microwave vs the standard ones that open like a regular oven door so a round pizza pan fits just fine. The pizza pan was included. I use it a lot. I highly recommend it.

I use this for dehydrating fruit and baking. I had no idea I could bake so fast with an air fryer. For example a 10 ounce Torino’s pizza bakes in 6 minutes. I measured the energy used to bake the pizza and it used less than two pennies worth of electricity. Much more energy efficient and quicker than heating up an oven.
