Very good construction. The circular glass is very convenient for seeing the food without constantly opening the lid. It cooks well with all types of food, although I have a little issue with potatoes since we are used to frying them in oil. I haven't added any oil to any dish and it's perfect. I would prefer if it had two compartments so you could cook two dishes at the same time, it would be very helpful. Other than that, it is very, very good.
It is the second or third Rohnson device that I buy and throw away.
Negatives:
Cooking time is double, if not triple, what is stated in the manual and on the device itself, etc.
It does not cook from the bottom at all, so you have to constantly turn the food you are cooking, otherwise it burns from the top, unless of course you forget for 1-2 hours because it is the slowest air fryer I have ever seen.
The wifi stopped working in 6 months, it doesn't work at all.
The touch screen broke and some options cannot be selected, such as the wifi button and others.
The lighting on the power button stopped working, I turn it on empirically.
Positives:
When the wifi was working, which informs you of the time, etc., it was very convenient.
It cooks very nicely, as long as you have patience.
Nice design, let's not only mention the negatives.
Quality materials, for example, the basket and the inner grill are made of good materials and do not wear out like other air fryers (I give them credit in this area).
Unfortunately, it is yet another Rohnson device that I will throw away and it is not cheap. I bought a Ninja and found my peace of mind and it cooks in the times it says.
Better not to buy it, you'd better throw your money out the window, it might do good to someone who needs it.
I will not buy anything from Rohnson again.
I've been using it for over a year and I wouldn't change it! For meals for one to two people (fried potatoes and burgers maybe a bit more) it's amazing, practical, makes the food crispy! It notifies you halfway through cooking to turn the food (fillets, chicken, fish), it's controlled by the mobile app (for me the app wasn't in Greek but in Chinese, so I didn't use it much). I've made a very nice baked omelet with minimal oil (it needs the special paper). It's very convenient that you can see the food through the transparent surface and the light that turns on.
After 2 years, I regret buying it. It broke inside the drawer without me ever using hot or even warm water or turning it with wire. Under the drawer, on the right and left, there are two notches that fit when you close the drawer so that it is ready for use. Now I am having a lot of difficulty closing the drawer and making it ready for use because with the opening and closing, the plastic underneath has worn out. As for cooking food, I do not regret it at all; it is amazing
3 stars because I used it for a year, I temporarily gave it to my brother when I moved and was looking for a house, and in the end, I kept it. Now, however, after buying another one, I realized the difference. The glass is very convenient, although I personally always opened the drawer to see if it was ready. Good as a device, beautiful, not too bulky, but its major drawback is that in the time the manufacturer gives, you need at least 4-5 extra minutes. In my new one, in 9 minutes with 4 minutes of preheating, I cooked a ribeye steak perfectly. With this one, I took at least 20 minutes
I have been using it for a few months now and I am generally very satisfied. It is my first air fryer, so I don't have any comparison. It can cook enough for 2 people.
The positives:
Good build quality
Easy to clean
Super easy to use
The little window on top helps me see the food without opening the oven, although due to its position, I can't see the whole food.
I can perform all functions from my phone via the app, which is very user-friendly.
The negatives:
The preset settings are not always correct for certain foods, e.g., pizza depends a lot on the type of dough, so it requires experimentation. The same goes for the steak depending on its thickness.
In the app, you can't add new recipes.
The package does not include any cookware, so you will need to buy them. There is a set for this specific model that is very convenient, but you will in no way avoid using parchment paper
I have had it for almost a year and it is one of the best purchases I have made. It is incredibly easy to use, it really frees up your hands. There are 2 people in the house and it is enough. Everything that has been cooked has never come out dry and you can make almost anything. The "fried" potatoes without oil are unbeatable. It definitely helps with time and a healthier way of cooking, as well as electricity consumption. Bonus is the light it has so you can see what is happening inside the basket, and the app that allows you to operate it from further away.
After 1 year of use, the drum dissolved and unfortunately almost completely...half of the indicators do not light up from the 1st month but ok. this is not something terrible...
the times are not as stated because the machine is weak and has a large drum but ok you always add 10 minutes more.
the biggest problem is the cleaning and that the drum and the rack peeled relatively quickly after 5-6 months of use...
Only Phillips to have peace of mind...
Quite good, although the times are not those indicated on the device, it takes much longer, but it cooks deliciously. Above all, the chicken comes out very tasty with crispy skin!
After a year of continuous use, the coating on the basket swelled and started to peel off. I sent it to the dealership and they replaced it immediately.
Excellent! It has been very convenient for us. It is a smaller and very fast toaster oven that has replaced the use of microwaves, which affect the food you heat up in a very different way.
We have had it for almost a year, everything we have eaten is tasty and well-cooked. Of course, this is subjective as it depends on each person's preference.
Reliable device, it has not presented anything negative even though it is used day after day.
The app is convenient but not necessary.
I bought it last February and I was satisfied, but in September it started to not work. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I thought I did something wrong, but in early December it completely stopped turning on. I took it for service and they told me that the company would cover me to get a new one. They gave me a credit and I went to the store to buy a new one. Since I was used to it and it had a transparent window to see how the ingredients are cooked, I decided to get the same one. Unfortunately, not even a month passed and the same problem occurred again. So stay away from this model
The only thing I regret is not buying it earlier! It is incredibly well-made and sturdy. Very easy to connect to my phone and the app is very easy to use and navigate. The recipes included in the app are also a great addition. I believe it solves many problems like laundry, cooking, odors, and overall cooking convenience. The food comes out delicious, but the truth is that if you don't have any experience at first, some dishes may turn out a little dry. Overall, I believe it is a device that should not be missing from any home, of course, larger bins are recommended for larger families.
For the food it makes and how well it makes it, the previous speakers spoke. I will talk about the technical issues.
1. Wi-Fi: It connects to your dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz router ONLY if you set a separate SSID network name for the 2.4GHz. If you set the same SSID for both frequencies when you installed your router, it simply WILL NOT CONNECT EVER. However, if you give a separate name, you lose the flexibility that your router offers to automatically change frequencies from room to room for optimal signal performance.
2. The lack of 5GHz and the non-connection also implies, among other things, the inability to download recipes from the internet.
3. To overcome this (2), call the company that imports it and a very polite lady will immediately send you a Powerpoint with all the recipes to your email.
4. Before using it for the first time, it needs 20 minutes of pre-processing at 200 degrees with an empty basket to get rid of the factory smells.
5. Add 20% more time to the recommended programs from the beginning. You will remember me.
6. The actual power (measured with a wattmeter) is 1440W and not 1800 as advertised.
The 4 and not 5 stars are for the Wi-Fi.
I used it twice and now it doesn't turn on.
I took it for service from where I bought it and it broke again. I called the company, they sent me to another service and they replaced it. I haven't used the new one yet. The company's customer service was good but it was a big inconvenience..
First of all, subjectively speaking, this is the most beautiful air fryer that, along with its appearance, the glass to see the food (a big advantage), and the large rectangular basket as a base for its capacity (5.5 l), were the main reasons I chose it.
I had no experience with other air fryers, and the only thing that initially disappointed me was the cooking times, which are underestimated in the brochure compared to what I see, especially since I like everything well-cooked. Along the way, I learned the cooking times better and accepted them, so for now, it's okay.
Grilling, in my opinion, makes meats tastier than the air fryer, but the air fryer is much better for main meats that I eat compared to the oven, such as chicken breast (it doesn't dry it out even if you forget it a little) and chicken burgers! I now only use the grill (without oil) for chicken thighs, as it is the only meat that I don't like in the air fryer (compared to the taste in other methods)! Finally, I remembered the taste of fried potatoes, which the air fryer somewhat resembles if you cut them very thin and uniform and cook them for almost 60% longer than recommended.
Overall, I am increasingly satisfied with the device (2 months of use, 3-4 times per week) and I won't be unfair to it. I tend to believe that it is indeed useful as a supplementary appliance at home, and I am planning to buy the same air fryer as a gift for my sister, so from me, yes!
Finally, I wouldn't get an air fryer without a glass... it is truly useful if you wonder if it helps!
Very good product, I have had it for about a month and I have no problems. In the positives, the air fryer is user-friendly, easy to clean, there are no unpleasant odors at the end of each use, ideal for 2 people. Very useful thanks to the application, it helps a lot especially if you are in a hurry and to remotely monitor the temperature and remaining time. In the negatives, the times indicated in the preset programs are not completely representative. Maybe it will need a little more time, but nothing terrible. This also depends on the type of raw material, if you have preheated the basket, the quantity you will put.
2 days, we made potatoes and a steak. Spray with oil and it's ready. Huge difference with oven or frying pan. Using paper for easier cleaning. Quick meal and energy-saving. The fact that you can see through the glass is a big plus. We also put frozen cheese pies, perfect. 5.5 liters 1500w. If anything changes, I will update.
Update:
After about a year of operation, it works perfectly. The basket doesn't peel. Non-stick paper has always been used. It cleans easily after cooking with a cloth. The glass doesn't fog up. The times indicated are 70% accurate. The air and steam come out from the back. I haven't used the WiFi. After a while, the heating element has "stuck" with oils, etc. (if you turn it upside down). When the basket is opened to turn it, a lot of steam falls down
There is an issue with the bin, the bin does not latch after a few uses.
I experienced the exact same thing with the second one I bought from a different store.
The bin does not make good contact, resulting in many times not even starting
I haven't made many dishes to have a complete opinion.
Potato chicken, chicken nuggets, steaks, vegetables.
They cook them just fine, but not anything extraordinary.
With a little oil, yes, they become crispy, but in terms of time, it's the same as using an oven.
I had bought a robot for 39 euros, which worked almost the same way, had a larger capacity, and required the same amount of time. I probably made a mistake and replaced it.
I was torn between the 5.5 and 8 liters. I preferred the first one because its bin is rectangular and not round, therefore more practical! It can actually fit a whole chicken in pieces and, most importantly, fish can fit normally without... folding. The one with 8 liters is deeper, but its round shape is not as practical as the one with 5.5 liters and its rectangular shape. For now, I am completely satisfied. The major pros are the oil and the time for some meals. Time will tell about its durability. The main features are the glass for visibility and the notification for food flipping.
I have it for a while now, but so far I am very satisfied. It grills evenly and quickly, it is easy to clean, and it doesn't retain odors as long as the basket is removed and washed after cooking. Unfortunately, I cannot know the material of the non-stick coating, but like all similar products, it requires careful handling to avoid scratching. It seems to generally withstand use. The glass that surrounds it and the light are very useful features during grilling, and the connectivity is also very fast and seamless. I will come back with more details.
Kids it's very good. Much better than xiaomi. Design, lighting, wifi all work perfectly. Well, to say something bad, the screws inside the bucket don't fit perfectly. Perfect air fryer
Purchased and replaced the oven immediately.
Fantastic burger, good potatoes.
I regretted it when I put fish in it. It smells no matter how much you clean.
Cleaning it is a bit of a hassle but it's OK.
Overall, it's a worthwhile purchase and I recommend it.
I have it for a week, I haven't done much yet but burgers with potatoes that I made in 25 minutes in a hot chamber, I had ready food, its basket is incredibly non-stick, it is long and practical, the glass is great because you have the ability to see the food
Review update 2:
The device was taken to the local authorized service of the company and within 5 days a replacement certificate was issued with a new one from the store.
Impeccable service, the company Vasilias, which has the dealership, as far as after-sales is concerned.
Hence the 4 stars.
However, fearing that the same damage may occur again, I chose to buy the Moulinex XXL with a 7-liter drum and a detachable separator for simultaneous cooking of 2 dishes.
Review update:
After 5 months of use, it shows a problem with the display. Specifically, various touch buttons of the cooking programs have started to light up and the central display shows lines when the device is off.
The problem started from the central display and spread to the other illuminated buttons.
I spoke to the company and they referred me to the authorized service.
Apart from the above aesthetic problem, no other functional problem has occurred.
It does what it promises. The device's pros include the glass and the light for food control without removing the drum. It works with the Tuya smart app in case you don't want to use the Rohnson app since they are the same.
I have found two negatives since we have been using it for a month. One is that in the notification message in the app to turn the food, it appears in Chinese while the cooking time is displayed in the correct language. This may be due to the fact that I do not use the Rohnson app but the Tuya smart app. The second is that the brand on the glass front has started to fade due to temperature.
All these things replace the 90's robots. First test excellent, 20 minutes for 2 neck chops, no turning or anything. The upper transparent part is plastic - it will never get dirty from the inside as it has fireproof glass underneath. I consider the 5.5-liter bin to be the minimum sufficient. I wouldn't look at anything smaller. You will save 20-30 euros from the device and you will spend multiple times on electricity due to double use. Easy cleaning.
update 1/11/23. Finally, after about 6 months, the screen started to have bleed in the backlight and some buttons didn't light up at all. I sent it back under warranty. While it was working, it was fine. Generally satisfied without having experience with other fryers
