Air fryer question

bargainsgirl · ‎01-13-2012

If you use one which brand? I bought one on Q awhile back when they were more popular but sent it back because it was so LOUD!!! I friend has a Cosori brand and she said it is very quiet. Anyone recommend a very quiet air fryer? I'd like to give it another go. The Ninja on HSN never mentioned the noise level....

I don't even notice the noise level of appliances so it's not an issue.

However, I'm not enchanted with air fryers and just use mine for toasting or heating bread mostly. By their nature they create hot, dry, wind that dries out foods. Even just reheating a hamburger on a bun very briefly makes a dried hamburger.

They also hog counter space.

I own a red Cosori purchased at Amazon several years ago, that performs as well now, as it did when first purchased! I would not say it is VERY quiet, but it is not loud enough to be annoying or obtrusive! It has a somewhat pleasant "hum".😁

I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in need of a new Air Fryer!👍

I don't use an air fryer but my biggest concern would be if it is made of toxic materials. My understanding is that a lot of the popular brands have the non stick coating that is toxic especially at the high temperature that an air fryer uses (500+) I think some of the newer ones have stainless steel or ceramic baskets. I believe they are more expensive but safer.

I have a Ninja Air Fryer and it doesn't make loud noises. I think the food comes out moist and delicious.. You need to learn how much time to air fry your food. I have made roasts, chicken, pork chops, hamburgers, potatoes and vegetables.. I wouldn't want to be without it. I can air fry, max crisp, air broil, air roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate.

@elated , I agree with everything you said. I use mine almost to the exclusion of my convection oven which I love too! If your food is dry you are cooking it too long.

I keep a cooking chart for my air fryer. It is a bit of trial and error to start and the use of a thermometer is a must to me.

I am not a gadget person and I hate counter clutter but my Ninja Foodie has a place on my countertop. I put off getting one for a long time but caved and am so glad I did. I have a smaller one and a larger one as a spare which I got on sale.

Mine is not overly loud either.

I have a Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven. I use it a LOT. Mine is 2 years old and works like new.

I have a 6qt Instantpot brand--and yes it is kind of loud but I have a closet sized kitchen so boiling water is loud--I think most small appliances are pretty loud----

I must be crazy but I have two! A Ninja Foodi two basket and a Gourmia and like both of them. The Gourmia is louder but not too bad. I use the Ninja when I have different items I want to be cooked at the same time (fish and chips, etc.). Though I didn't need it, the Gourmia was such a super deal on Black Friday I couldn't resist, and I actually use it the most. I bought a silicone insert to make clean up easier, then switched to a ceramic insert that works really well.

FYI Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and Walmart Holiday Deals sales are coming up and might have airfryer deals - A's is October 8 - 9 and Walmart's is October 8 -13. Happy shopping!
