Tasti-Crisp Digital Air Fryer, 2.6 Quart, Red | Small Compact Basket Style Air Fryer for One or Two People, Auto Shut Off, Adjustable Temperature, Dishwasher Safe Parts

This air fryer is great! It is fairly easy to clean and was easy to use. I was worried when the base didn’t fully come apart like my last one, but the insert coming out helps a lot! It has been perfect for cooking and everything comes out PERFECT! You can’t beat the price tag. Lastly, it’s a bit wider than I anticipated, but it still saves a lot of counter space compared to the giant ones with all the bells and whistles. I was not using my big fancy one so I gave it to friends who will. They gave me their little one and it died recently, so this was an easy upgrade! It’s perfect if your space is tight or you only need the air fryer feature. I could also see this used easily by a responsible child and much safer than an oven and having to remember to shut it off. Having worked with special needs population, this could be a very easy one to teach them and understand. I honestly leave it on 400F and cook everything at that temp. Except fish. Only thing you need to know is the time!

We are empty nesters, kids are grown and long gone. Got tired of the BIG Instant Pot taking up so much room and cooking too much. We saw the reviews on the smaller 2.6 qt Dash Air Fryer and decided to try one during Amazon Days. This unit has been fantastic, I am already losing weight by eating just enough instead of the over size meals made in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot has been retired to the back pantry The Dash Digital is about as easy to use as possible. Clean up is even easier. I purchased 3 silicone basket liners for easy cleanup. I read the reviews of not to use silicone liners, but in the same breath they tell you to shake or turn your food half way though anyhow...so what's the difference? I have tried it with and without the liners, I don't see any difference and clean up is throwing the silicone liners in the dish washer instead if washing and drying the Air Fryer between entrées The 2.6 is about at small as I would go for 2 people, 3 qt would have been perfect. For fries etc. it's perfect, but one layer items like chicken breast, etc, just a 1/2 inch larger would have been perfect for 2. But again, smaller portions, I'm losing weight I needed to lose. We haven't fixed a bad meal in ours yet. Going to make our first Omelet today. Don't regret buying this at all, it's a total winner and looks fantastic on the counter.

Only had for a week, used four times. So far, am loving it. Came from using the Ninja Foodi Grill air fryer, the darn thing was so heavy and large, I wanted a smaller and more convenient option after my husband died, because I did not want to use it, he was the machine operator! This air fryer was described in an article by a well known print and digital consumer reporting magazine, as a recommended option. I felt like it was worth trying. Opted for the regular non-stick model because I planned to use parchment in the basket to make cleanup easier and preserve the non-stick coating, as well as the cost difference between it and the ceramic model. I've since learned I may want to try the perforated parchment, what I bought is not perforated, so am curious about air flow differences. Also discovered a hack stating that placing the non-perforated liner baskets in the very bottom of the fryer, under the perforated crisper tray works. I have not tried that yet. Pros for me are the unit's small size and weight, handle on top, QUIET operation (actually thought it wasn't working until I began to smell the food!). Being used to the noise of the Foodi, this quietness was a pleasant shock. Also pre-heating is not a requirement, (but recommended) depending on food choices. Since it is not required, there is no ready made pre-heat setting, but I think you could easily program one of the three available preset options for that purpose. I've only done frozen potstickers and frozen chicken wing parts so far, both with and without oil. I chose olive oil delivered via a fine spray mister. Still have more to experiment with, but with & without oil, with & without parchment basket liners, I saw no difference in crispness. The frozen chicken wing parts will not be something I purchase again though, as they are so full of water, that cooking them from a frozen state results in a swimming pool of liquid and does not yield anything crisp. Recommend thawing those and making sure to use pressure and paper towels to squish wetness out before cooking. Anxious to try "fresh" (non-frozen) wings instead. All in all, this feels like a quality unit, that if used properly should do the trick for my purposes. I do feel like the instructions could be a bit more detailed, I prefer an easy to reference chart, which is shown, but is split onto two pages in the manual. A special note, if you register your air fryer, Dash adds an additional year to the warranty. We shall see how that works out!

Perfect size for a single person or a couple. My only complaint is there's no way to preheat it other than to set the temperature and let it run for 4 or 5 minutes. Otherwise it's great.

I bought this appliance two years ago. I was looking for something as quiet as possible and not too bulky, and it did not disappoint. My husband and I have been using it regularly for the past two years, and we have always been very happy with the results. It cooks evenly, is easy to use, and fits well in the kitchen without taking too much space. After two years, the non-stick coating on the grill has started to wear a little. I hesitated to replace the whole unit, but I was happy to find that replacement grills are available, which is a big plus. One piece of advice: do not put the basket in the dishwasher. After two years, the color has started to peel. It is not a safety issue as long as food does not touch the sides, and using a silicone insert solves the problem completely. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Bought used looks new too me, not even sure if it was used to cook anything, plus saved money, but more importantly I was really impressed with this machine, I've only cooked French fries in it, but damn boy oh boy were they so different tasting from the way they turn out in an oven. Did not use any oil, just frozen fries, they cooked up crispy, great interior, I am very impressed, shouldn't have waited so long to get one, and it did not heat up the kitchen like I was afraid it would. Perfect Transaction -- Thank YOU Amazon & all the employees & delivery people too.

Just the right size for one person meals or if you have tight counter space. I love this air fryer. Makes things like chicken nuggets, French fries, and even pizza crust crisp.

Although I found the air fryer somewhat too small, only able to air fry one pork chop or one hamburger patty at a time, it did perform pretty much as expected, until it suddenly stopped working completely. The last time I was going to air fry some chicken, the control panel lit up briefly as I plugged it in to one of my kitchen outlets, immediately went dark, failing to start. After trying different kitchen outlets, that were working perfectly for both my microwave and toaster, it was clear that the problem was with the Dash air fryer being, and not with my kitchen electrical outlets. After making multiple attempts to determine the cause of it’s sudden failure ( removing and re-inserting the frying drawer and manually depressing the two switches that are tripped when the frying drawer is inserted into the air fryer, it became clear that this air fryer was unrepairable by me. Purchased in October of 2023, I can’t help but think it should have lasted longer. Whatever manufacturers warranty it came with, had expired and I now owned an all plastic, non functional air fryer that was only taking up cabinet space. My question now was should I purchase another air fry, and if I do, should I purchase another one manufactured by Dash? The decision to buy another air fryer was simple. Yes, after using one for a period of time, not having an air fryer was out of the question. My next decision of whether to buy another Dash air fryer took a bit longer. Did I want a fryer that was almost completely made of plastic, did I want an air fryer that would only fit one hamburger patty or one chicken thigh or pork chop again? Did I have the confidence that another Dash air fryer would outlast the one that just suddenly failed to work? My answer to those questions to myself was obvious, the plastic construction, small frying compartment and its sudden demise all told me, don’t buy another Dash air fryer. After checking the assortment of air fryers available on Amazon, and reading customer reviews of the ones that I was interested in, I ordered a replacement for my non functional Dash that has a larger fryer basket, mostly metal construction, a fryer drawer with a window and a digital display for setting temperature and frying time, plus several pre programmed temperature frying times for popular items such as chicken, fish, beef and pork. Plus it has an audible reminder when the items being cooked should be either flipped over or the basket should be shaken. Another feature that drew me to this particular air fryer was a feature that increased the temperature for the last two minutes of frying time, to crisp whatever I might be cooking, if I chose to use that option. It also has frying basket twice the size of my now non functional Dash fryer. And here’s the final thing that sold me on this particular air fryer, it’s less expensive than the Dash it’s replacing, even though it’s more feature packed and will hold constant considerably more items than my non functional Dash. Using the Dash air fryer introduced me to air frying, it’s replacement is going to make the air frying process easier and hopefully will last longer than just two years.

This is so perfect for a family of 2. Does all veggies so great. Baby potatoes done great, roasted. Fish and chicken really good. I have recommended this to small families, very compact and east to use and clean.

Great small air fryer, easy to use, stays cool to the tough and has a handle to move it. Have bought two for home. Small on can fit in cupboard, do not have to keep on counter.

E1 error....Non-functioning...(from warehouse) Had to return. E

This little unit is perfect for a single person or even a couple. It runs well and does everything just as described. I love it for when you order fries to be delivered and they are cold when they get to you. I have the air fryer already setup and ready to go when the fries get here. Simply put them in the fryer for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees and voila!!! Perfectly reheated, crispy french fries! Compact and easy to store as well.
