Is there anything I missed? If I try more air fryers in the future, I'll be sure to update my full review here: detoxinista.com/air-fryer-review/
BTW, no smell at all, ever.
The Breville / Oven / Toaster / Airfryer is the Best
Hi, this is Anya from Genround and I was wondering if you would be interested in trying out some of the air fryer accessories? We would be happy to provide you with samples to test, please let me know if you are interested and look forward to hearing from you, have a great day, thanks.

There are a number of chemicals on the surfaces of all the metal parts, including the stainless steel. It is a very good idea to let the chemicals burn off , letting it run at a high temp with no food in it, at least twice. If you are getting smells of burning plastic or other chemicals you will be cooking that into the food in the very beginning. Even the non coated metal is covered in mold release chemicals and other chemical coating from the man factoring process. You want to burn them off. many will vaporise and you do not want anything you plan to eat in the device for the first two or three times you let it run.
Excellent advice. Thank you,
Which airfryer you recommend for 5 people most toxic free no teflon??
True but already too late for me..! Now I have to get new chicken wings from the shop cuz aint eating these with chemicals.. (just got new airfryer today and want to try it out)
Where did you buy?
@@BrownSugarGal Did you find a good one?
She deserves more than 4K for this videos. The amount of air fryers that she tested… is wow!
And she covered a lot of key points as well. 👍🏾
THANK YOU for keeping it simple with no music or extra annoying "comical" add-ins (which are a waste of time). You are pleasant and articulate, and a joy to watch. Very helpful. Subscribed. 🌺
I totally agree.
There was music in this video though.
I echo the first comments. You have a clear and informative presentation. I found the music in the background pleasant & unobtrusive. Will definitely subscribe!
While you have a pleasant voice, the “ up talk”, sorta sing song ending to sentences is quite distracting. I’m looking forward to your videos!
I've consumed so many air fryer videos in the past few days and this is in the top 2 most informative and well put together of all of them. Great job and thank you! It's sad to see how so many people can critique someone when they themselves don't create videos and deliver value by reviewing products/sharing recipes.
Very professional review. So many RUclips videos take forever to get to the point, but yours is right on target! Thank you for eliminating time-wasting extra talk, like talking about unnecessary personal experiences and opinions that aren't useful to your viewers and unpacking the box in real-time. I love your talking style and overall production quality. Thank you so much!
Agreed! I just made a similar comment. =)
Thanks Megan. As a first time buyer this is very helpful as I want to stay away from toxic coatings plus you give much more info.
You are THE VERY BEST PRODUCT NARRATOR I have ever observed. TY so much. You are so thorough and u explain everything so well.
Simple, straight to the point, and unbiased. I appreciate this video, helped me narrow down my choices!
This video is a must see for pet owners. Specially those with birds, that horrible smell we smell is deadly to birds.
Yes, & sure it’s giving humans toxins too, just not affecting us as quickly as the birds.
You’ve been very helpful because I’ve been looking for the passed 3 months thank you so much detoxinista
Thanks for the thorough information. I've wanted to stay away from any non stick coating if I were to buy an air fryer. You've given a great review of them all.
Thank You Megan. Really excellent reviews and comparisons! I have had different brands similar to your Big Boss Air Fryer, (aka Halogen Oven), over the past ten years, and have been very satisfied with performances. After watching this video, I think I'll aim for a Breville Smart Oven next, because of its baking function, and size. Great! 🆒
I'm searching for information on air fryers because I going to purchase one soon I'm so glad I found this video. You've done a much better job than another video I watched comparing air fryer machines.
Thanks! Glad to hear its helpful.
This is a great comparison. Very helpful!
Best presentation I've seen. You covered all the concerns I have had.
The best air fryer review video I’ve come across. Thank you sooo much!
It is my understanding that the initial unpleasant odor of cooking appliances (air fryers, ovens, etc) is due to a residual coating remaining on the interior surface and heating elements from the manufacturing process. I know that the basket of my air fryer felt oily when I first bought it. I also heard that nonstick coatings need to be “broken in” to help them last longer. I have no idea if that is really true but I still did the recommended process since it also helped address the issue of the unpleasant odor.
I simply ran the air fryer at 400F for about an hour (empty, no food), let it cool completely then repeated two more times. By that 3rd cycle, there was no more odor that I could detect. I am glad I took the time to do this because I wouldn’t want that odor penetrating whatever food I was cooking. The only thing I wish I had done differently was to do this outside so I wouldn’t have introduced that smell into my home.
I found you 10 years agonwhen we bought our Vitamix and wanted recipes. I then went to work for them. I have been recommending your recipes and website for over a decade! I don't know why I never thought to check your RUclips! I was searching for reviews on Air fryer toaster ovens and up this video popped! SO glad I found you! :). Thank you for all the great info!
Wow, that's awesome! Thank you so much for being here. :)
Thank you this has been very helpful ,I appreciate that you went into so much detail especially where the toxic smell is concerned & the fact that I prefer stainless steel rather than nonstick coatings.these two things are what has put me off buying one untill now .I also want one that is good for dehydrating food as well .
Everything I am looking for in a review. Thank you!
Thank you for your time and for educating various Air fryer
Thanks for the review and comments about initial odors as well. I have pet birds and some cooking anti stick surfaces can have harmful fumes.
Thank you for your thorough review and especially reviewing non-toxic brands.
Your video caught my attention after my first use of the Breville oven you reviewed. It replaces an Oster oven air fryer that worked well but was size limiting. I bought the on sale Breville-- yay! -- and I used it for the first time last night. I think I'm going to love it, especially when I want to crisp up leftovers that always got a little soggy in a microwave. I also put my oven in the corner as it seems the best use of counter space and air circulation.
Glad to help! Hope you continue to love it.
Thank you for the video/review. Been looking at these for some time.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Glad it was helpful!
The ARIA 7 qt. air fryer has zero teflon or toxic coatings, is ceramic, & Amazon offers an extended 3 or 4yr warranty for $10-$15 extra~ well worth it, imho. I do like the "Big Boss" version, mainly for the non-toxic features~ have not seen that one before, so thanks for showing it.
*Great review of multiple fryers =)
I got a Breville oven, love love love it! Easy to clean, no smells, easy on the power use and does it’s job perfectly! Yes, it does have to sit on my bench but is convenient. No bending and not clogging my cupboard space
I also have a Breville...it still needs cleaning with cooking chicken or other foods the that end upooo frying...I'm also looking for and air fryer with square basket to eliminate any cleaning around wall like the Breville...its a pain...Breville is the bomb and wouldn't want anything different as a convection ..my sister has ann air fryer and cleaning is much easier.
Thank you for your review! It is the most complete.
Thanks for the review. I had a feeling that the Breville will be the top pick and I have that model already saved on Amazon cart for few weeks. I will definitely buy it now. BTW, I've read some of the comments below and I think you sound great and very easy to understand. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Very helpful review, thanks!
I've had an Emeril French door air fryer for 2 yrs and just love it completely. We use it almost every day. It's 26 qt. and has multiple functions including a grill plate . I wish there were more recipes on RUclips using this air fryer oven
Please review more shelf type air fryers. Great review!!
Thank you for making this video on air fryers! 🙏🏼
My pleasure 😊
I got the breville but unfortunately, the store here didn't sell the newer model that has the air fryer included. The situation got me interested in the cosori as so many people are talking about the cosori, so I'd love to see cosori reviews
I have the Instant air fryer. The basket one, mine never smelled when I started using it. I absolutely adore this machine, best lockdown purchase ever. :)
When I get my own place I’m definitely buying the Breville Air Fryer so that I save time and energy without frying things in oil.
@@FernandoIfillRuiz good luck with it, I hope you're as happy with yours as I am mine!
Wow this was so comprehensive, thank you!! I’m really concerned about non stick coating and don’t want it in my kitchen appliances so thanks for reviewing this aspect!
Thank you for itemizing/indexing this review!
Glad it was helpful!
I love my Big Boss and using it 2-3 times a week. And I think this glass Big Boss is very safe for health wise to use it often. This is a great video. Thank you!
Kaori S I have a glass one too. Love them. The original.
Can you tell me how well the glass cleans, does it start to get stainded after so many uses like the pyrex glass?
Excellent review! Thank you! You’re very articulate and have a nice gentle way.
Thank you!
Thank you, Megan! Very helpful.
Excellent information & presentation ..thank you. The Breville is my next purchase!
Thank you! A great demonstration of some of the various models available. We have a basket air fryer at work and it's a bit too basic when cooking for four people, so for myself I got the Sage/Breville Smart Oven Air-Fryer Pro. They're worlds apart. The basic plastic one at work cost about £180 (UK) while the Sage/Breville was £300. Well worth the extra money because the Sage/Breville is made of steel, has racks instead of a basket and is a very sturdy, versatile and attractive item. It's just a good, high quality product.
Thanks. Very clear, stated exactly the pros and cons as they were, not partial to the gifted air fryers and definitely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you . Great review !!
appreciate the reviews! I've been on and off looking for toxic ones for almost 2 yrs LOL
Excellent review!
I have had a Breville compact oven which doesn’t have a convection/air fryer feature, for over 10 years. I LOVE it! I never use my range oven, except when I really must bake something large. The Breville is a serious appliance. I have been thinking of moving up to the Breville model you reviewed here, so I was interested in your review. I’ve never seen a negative review of Breville ovens, but they are expensive, as you point out.
Too expensive. Unreal
Same here I loved my original Breville and now my air fryer. I find they really last! xoxo
I bought the one she reviewed, about two weeks ago. So far, absolute love it. So much better to use instead of my oven in this Texas heat. It is a real workhorse and worth every penny. It is also a top choice from both Consumer Reports and America’s Test Kitchen. Highly highly recommend.
@@morganmckibbon4241-how does the air fryer perform?
I love the glass bowl Air Fryer and the last one. I have an Aicook and its similar to the Breville. I'm so in love with it. It was a gift from my children for Mother's Day. Uses all the time.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great gift! Glad you're enjoying it.
Very, very helpful video....thanks so much. I'm interested to see you review the new "Sur La Table" 13-qt. air fryer next. Cheers!
I bought a Dreo Airfryer almost 2 years ago and I am loving it. It is made in Korea. I did not have to open a window or door because the odor was minute when I first turned the unit on to run a little on empty per the instructions and the inner non stick material is chemical free. The air fryer is super light weight and very compact but still large enough which is a plus for me since I am in a small apartment with very little kitchen countertop space. The inside basket is oval and can hold quite a bit of food, the air fryer is easy to use which is also a plus. Dreo now has a larger unit available that they didn’t have when I purchased mine. But I am happy with mine, it is large enough for the two of us, didn’t have a nasty chemical smell when used at first, is really lightweight and does a great job!
I was thinking of purchasing a Dreo also because I'm looking for an air fryer that is totally chemical-free. I noticed it is not PTFE free though. It is PFOA free . I've been doing a lot of research on these and I'm about to give up. The ones that seem non-toxic are too expensive for me.
@@daisyblue7209- did you arrive on one?
@@tlsings55Hi,no not yet but I plan to sometime soon. I do want to get one without the chemicals that I mentioned and want to get one that is ceramic coated. From what I have been reading you just need to be careful not to scratch the coating just like ceramic coated cookware to avoid getting any chemicals.😊
Very helpful, thank you! I guess if I had to say that anything was missed, for me there's nothing in this particular video that would convince me to add another appliance to my kitchen. When I bake fries in the oven they all fit so ... air fryers just seem extraneous. However, as a long-time follower of your website, I imagined you covered their pros in another video (shorter cooking times, etc). If so, maybe to link to that video here. Again, thanks for all you do!
Awesome review ! I'm in the market for a airfyer and had no idea they had a toxic smell.
Clean it after each use. I have a black & decker air fryer.
Great Review
Great reviews thank you
I would love for you to do the ninja foodi oven air fryer, powerxl and casori. I also would be interested in knowing where the heating elements are located in these ovens because I would imagine that and the fans would have a huge impact on the end result. I have been looking for an air fryer oven wars type video and I’m surprised that I can’t find one. Just a suggestion and great video.
Finally, a no nonsense review video!!
Thank you for a very informative video.
Just bought a Black and Decker air fryer, toster, convection oven combo. I didn't want anything expensive just in case it ends up in the kitchen appliance graveyard. I love it (have to get used to it cooking fries in less than 20min) it is everything I wanted.
I own one as well. Perfect size..I love it. 60 Buck's plus tax at Walmart.
Was there an initial smell with it?
@@myNEONCITY I believe it was, didn't last long tho...on another note, the problem with the combo is, *there is just too much clean-up* still love it, will probably try the egg shaped one--less clean-up.
Thanks for your support
It would have been nice for you to have included cost or price, so we can make an informed decision.
However your demo and presentation was outstanding.
You have a great personality and demeanor 👍👍👍
Lovely review. Lovely woman.
Id rather go for the glass air fryer which is basically called turbo broiler in the 90’s.
Sorry about being late to the party. Thank you for doing this review and you have reaffirmed my choice on which air fryer to buy.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy the new air fryer!
Very informative!
very nice review.....I returned a vortex air fryer because the plastic smell would not go away and ruined our eating experience. I would love to find a 6qt drawer style fryer that didn't smell.
Be aware. COSORI has recalled many models due to fire hazard. I just applied to return my two Cosori Air fryers. I had Cuisinart before those and it was impossible to get clean, so don't waste your money on Cuisinart.
I have the big boss and it was good for two uses! The lamp blew out after the two uses and it was a pain to get a replacement- I wish I knew that the lamp blows quickly before I bought it
Great video and great reviews
Thanks so much!
Hi, my brod bought a black and decker oven toaster with air fryer feature. I tried it twice and the outcome looked good. But I find the tray for oil drip a bit smaller than the tray used to place the food to cook! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas from the Philippines.
Thank you for this! I have been looking at toaster ovens and air fyrers. The breville seems the most fit. With that said, I have a small kitchen with very little counter space. Would you happen to know if the breville can replace the use of my microwave currently sitting on my counter?
Very useful video, thank you! I was looking for this exact info
Glad it was helpful!
I see why manufacturers gift you their merchandise. You are an excellent speaker (enunciate, word speed, etc.). Many people are turned off to comparisons where it is hard to understand the speakers, or if the microphone recording is too low or muffled. I just subscribed to your channel. I have birds that can die if I use PFOAA and the other toxic coating(??). I need a non-toxic air fryer that can fit a whole chicken, cook for a family and be reasonably priced. I am still looking...
Thanks for the kind words! I would look into the Big Boss Air Fryer, if you want to use the glass bowl. It could definitely fit a whole chicken inside with the stainless steel extender attached.
Excellent reviews!!
Thank you!
You do a great job of explaining these appliances. I do want to point out something very important. Non stick coatings are very toxic and carcinogenic. Easy cleaning is not worth the risk to health. There no non toxic non stick surfaces contrary to what many manufactures claim. The high heat creates toxic vapors that are dangerous to breath in. This is why they say do not have pet birds anywhere near non stick cooking! Sad to say it is becoming more and more difficult to find baking equipment and small appliances that are without plastics and non stick coatings. I always seek appliances made out of stainless steel which does not become toxic with high heat. I would rather spend a bit more time cleaning than risking my health.
Thanks! Yes, it's very difficult to find small appliances that don't have non-stick coatings these days.
We have the brevelle air fryer oven at home and absolutely love it. We have a ninja folding air fryer oven in our 5th wheel and like it as well.
do you have the ninja oven air fryer? My fries do NOT come out crispy.
Tysm for this ❤❤❤
I got a Ninja Foodi air fryer as a Xmas gift last year and I'm very happy with it I also can use it as a pressure cooker and the food comes out very soft. But I would like to have more recipes, is always good to have a variety. Thanks for your reviews and information.
Is it true that’s it’s smell free when you first use it? Worried about toxic fumes
@@myNEONCITY
I bought one two days ago. I am trying to burn the smell out of it at this very moment. Definitely has a smell.
@@rickyjohnson6848 thank you so much for letting me know. I think I’m crossing that off my list for good.
Your video made me hungry! I have an old air fryer, that uses a heating element, as opposed to a light (halogen which can burn out and may need to be replaced), and it fits on top of an huge aluminum pan. I cooked a 15 lb ham in it. Provided your cooking surface is protected, I think you could fit the big boss lid on to any size metal pan - like a large stock pot pan and cook some really large food items. This would also depend on the lid getting a tight seal to the pot opening, and the pot being heat proof. Just an observation. Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Nice video, you could include the dimensions, and very importantly the build quality in your reviews !
Love the Cosori air fryer.
I like the idea of being able to have a service center if the airfryer ever breaks and I know that Krups ( I think) is the only one that offers this. have you reviewed any if the Krupps brands?
Just back from BBB and looking at air fryers/ovens. That Teflon sprayed on basket coating is a danger signal when thinking of it running at hot temps. So thx for such comprehensive review. I'll go with oven w/wire basket. Problem finally solved!
Not having digital components is ALWAYS a PLUS. Digital dies earlier. Do you know where the glass material for the Big Boss glass bowl is from (China tends to us leaded glass). Thank you!
I love this video as I am looking at buying an airfryer, for me the dehydrate function and the tray size is very important for me. I want to make raw vegan wraps so having a wide tray size is vital. Can you please tell me the size of the tray for the fruit wraps you made and what was your experience making these? Have you used the newer Ninja air fryer ovens like the flip foodie model or the 8 or 10 in one models that can do 4 trays dehydrating at one time? I would love to see a new video comparing these for people that are keen to do both airfrying and allot of dehydrating wraps and other fruit or veggie based recipes without oil. Thanks so much I appreciate your time in creating these videos :)
I have a Gourmia and I really enjoy it.
Can you put 2 or 3 air fryer baskets in the Breville at the same time to cook protein and veggies? If so, is there a drip pan that will also fit?
I bought the Emril airfryer and it is wonderful, comes with a spit for doing a whole chicken, bakes a pie to perfection and airfrys quickly and perfectly.
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't tried that one yet!
I just bought the Emeril Air fryer also, for my 1st air fryer/ oven. It takes longer to heat up, and gets very hot. I haven't had it long enough to really try it without recipes to try.
They are nice
How much energy do they consume? Which one is most efficient in terms of energy consumption?
I think she is totally right I watched this just to see if she agreed with me and sure enough she did how delighted I am I on the heavy glass bowl 1 and then 1 similar to the last 1 she showed with all the bells and whistles my favorite 1 for chicken is the glass bowl it just can't be B. Beat
Hello. Your video was very helpful. Thanks. I’m still undecided mostly because it’s hard to find information about the material used in the making of the racks/trays. I don’t want anything non-stick touching the food. That being said, is the material of the racks and trays of the Breville and KitchenAid air fryer ovens pure stainless still?
I have a power xl 10 qt vortex oven and it works great. No problems since I've had it.
Thanks for sharing!
I love mu Breville I just bought. I keep mine on the counter of my laundry room around the corner from the kitchen, no smell at first use as I cleaned it well.
Thanks for reviewing all of these. Wish there would have been more stuff besides homemade fries though lol. Looking for something to do buffalo wings.
Id rather have the glass fryers than the plastics nice video thanks
Bought the Insta Pot Vortex Plus 6 qt and am returning it today. The smell is HORRIFIC. After unboxing, we let it off gas for several days. Plugged it in
yesterday for a dry run and the smell of burning plastic was ghastly. Moved it onto the balcony and did several more runs with no change in stink level.
One reviewer mentioned the little silicone feet thingies as possible culprits, but I had removed those prior to heating the oven.
The stench was so awful it could be smelled ACROSS THE STREET. It was like an electrical fire on steroids. Absolutely unusable. How is this s**t legal?!?
Happily, Crate + Barrel is making the return easy.
Thanks so much for this review, Ms. Detox - so helpful.
Yes, that should work well, too!
I’ve just got the same model and there was a minor odour when I did the initial dry run as per manufacturers instructions but nothing remotely like your experience! I did find a couple of round plastic pieces loose in there though, about 1cm diameter and looked like they were cut out from a plastic bag which must’ve been from the packaging, I wonder if that was what was causing the smell from yours?
@@rhonddalesley We considered the same thing and thoroughly inspected it after the dry run, but no plastic stowaways were found - perhaps there was something inside that wasn't supposed to be there. Thanks!
Well done. Thank you.
How do you feel about unbleached parchment liners with perforated holes?
I bought them because I don't want food touching nonstick tray inside.
Definitely heard it can over heat. I do wonder about cleaning. 👉🏼 Anyone have advice on cleaning, especially the Oven type. I've heard some criticism. Thank You.
I just bought the TOA - 95 and even though they don't have Teflon when I emailed the company they said that they have a
proprietary blend of nonstick on the inside to make it easy to clean. I'm so disappointed but I don't have the energy to send the thing back. I'm going to do what you suggested and try and burn everything off before I use it. Main reason I bought this is because the description said stainless steel inside and out.
