The Salter Air Fryer in Action
This type (drawer) of air fryer is the most common, with the heater situated above the drawer. You will need to shake the contents around at least once during the cooking time. Although a 30 min timer may seem a bit limited, it is actually perfectly fine, just set it to accommodate the shaking of the contents, rather than the total cooking time.

What the Buyers said…
1 Very easy to use with the preset timer. So far used it for chips, heating up pasties. Sausages comes up really nice and the fat from them runs off in the fryer making it healthier. Very easy to clean just wash in hot soapy water. The fryer looks and feels sturdy and robust. Chips fone really quickly. Would recommend.
2 I’ve had mine for a week now and it’s so easy to use. It cooks perfectly with great taste. Amazing I love it! I can’t lift anything heavy and this is perfect for anyone with a disability.
3 Cooked bacon, lovely and crisp, roast potatoes great, chicken pieces quick and a joint of beef, perfect. All very easy to clean to.
4 This is a good alternative to using a big fan oven. I have cooked 2 chicken breasts, 2 stuffing balls and roast potatoes all in together for our dinner and it is just as nice as in my big oven, for much less cost. Also steak and chips come out nicely, and pies have lovely crisp pastry. Overall it seems to cost less to run than the large oven.
It is fairly easy to clean although some meats do stick to the basket, and sausages lose a lot of fat into the bottom part.
It is very easy to use once you get used to it and we use it on most evenings.
