This Highly Rated Air Fryer Is on Sale for $84

My kitchen has seen more failed experiments than actual meals, often leaving me with a sink full of dishes and the number for my favorite takeout on speed dial. But I still dream of turning my culinary luck around. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've got my eye on this Chefman Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+, which is currently on sale for $84 on Amazon.

The Chefman Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ tackles tasks that usually require multiple appliances: It air fries, bakes, and even dehydrates. You know, in case you ever get the wild idea to make your own beef jerky instead of buying it like a normal person. And it has a large window and bright interior lights, so you can keep an eye on your meal without having to open the oven door.

However, it’s not without its limitations. Some reviewers have mentioned that the oven, at 10 liters, can still be a bit small, especially for families or those who want to cook in larger batches. Its compact size and three racks might be a plus for those with limited counter space wanting simultaneous cooking, but it does mean you’re not going to fit a large turkey in there. There have also been some mentions of the control panel being less intuitive than it could be—while it’s not overly complicated, there's a learning curve.

The Chefman seems to hold its own in terms of performance without costing a fortune, but it does face stiff competition from brands like Ninja and Instant Pot, which offer comparable multifunctional models at a higher price point.
