Introduction

The all-in-one air fryer brings simplicity to life. It can roast, bake, grill, toast, BBQ and air fry without oil. It is perfect for those 'always on the go' and people who want healthier meals. The integrated fan circulates the hot air around the bowl, giving you amazingly even cooking and perfect browning, while retaining the food's moisture. Airflow is concentrated into a confined space, allowing for quicker cooking than most conventional ovens. Using energy-efficient carbon fibre heating technology and with touch button digital controls, it is a joy to use.
