- No adjustable temperature control means users must select appropriate cook times based on food type rather than fine-tuning heat levels.
- Cleaning should be done promptly using warm water and mild detergent due to the PTFE-coated basket; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could damage the nonstick surface.
- Package includes only the air fryer unit and crisper basket; no additional accessories are listed in the original product information.
- Best suited for dry-heat applications such as air frying, roasting, and baking; not recommended for deep frying or recipes requiring submersion in liquid.

Iâm impressed
The easiest to use air fryer on the market. The best thing I cook in it. Bison steaks from frozen. 18 minutes flip one time. You got to try it. Any steaks will work. Great air fryer.

Great 6 qt Air Fryer
I’ve had air fryers in the past. The one I liked the best was a Cosori. I was looking for another one when mine tore up, but the new ones I saw had too many bells and whistles that tend to tear up. My first Cosori was digital. It tore up within the guarantee dates and Cosori sent me a new one with the turn dial, at my request. Cosori’s customer service at that time, was top notch. That’s one reason I wanted another one.After I could not find a turn dial Cosori, I came across the Dash. I have some Dash products already and enjoy them very much. After much looking around, I found a 6 quart Cosori with the dial. I’ve had it for a week now and have used it at least once a day, sometimes more. Everything has turned out really good.I wanted to say that I’ve had experience with other air fryers and let you know how they compare. The Dash is much easier to clean and cooks just as good. There are only 2 things I would let people know about the Dash in order to decide which air fryer they would prefer. First is the dial…the time dial is black and so is the pointer, so it’s very hard to see the amount of time you are choosing. Second is with all the other air fryers I’ve owned, the inner basket is detachable from the outer basket. So when you cook things like bacon that is greasy, you can disconnect the baskets, and dump the food onto a paper towel covered plate. With the Dash you cannot but this is also what makes it easier to clean. It has one basket and a crisper tray. The tray comes out and is so much easier to clean but the food has to be dipped out. I cut up turkey keilbasa and had to dip it out instead of being able to pour the pieces into my dish. Not a great big deal, but just in case it is for you, you’ll know before you buy.Overall, I am really enjoying the Dash 6 Quart Air Fryer!

Simple and easy
This is a very basic air fryer with simple functions. Looks nice as well. I was looking for this kind of air fryer.I am satisfied with this. Two cons are…1. angle of the timer dial – the width of upper side and lower side are different because it is not 90 degreed from body. It would be much easier to rotate if it was 90 degree angled like attached picture.2. this does not have STOP switch – You need to turn timer dial back to 0 to stop while it is operating. It is not quite easy. I worry it may cause malfunction, I am not sure though.

Great Starter Machine
We have now used several times. There are only the two of us so the 2.6 Qt size is just fine. It’s our first air fryer. It works well and I love the manual simplicity of it. It has a nice handle on top so it’s easy to retrieve from where ever it’s stored. My wife also loves the retro look (funny since there is no retro for air fryers).

Convenient and Compact Air Fryer
Bought this compact air fryer to cook up just enough a small amount of food quickly to serve the kids while they are craving for something to eat. Although this fryer is inexpensive and compact, It doesn’t take up a lot of space and works great as intended for the purposes.

Very Simple to Operate – Great for Reheating Crispy Foods
I bought this as a gift for my husband. This is a no-frills, intuitive, very simple to operate, easy to clean air fryer which is ideal for someone who doesn’t want to fiddle with complicated electronics. The top dial sets the temperature (up to 400°) and the lower dial is an analog timer (up to 30 minutes).The fryer’s basket size is adequate for a single or couple. We have made roasted (fresh) broccoli which turned out great. We made fresh crinkle cut potato disks which also turned out well. I soaked the freshly cut large russet potato about 10 minutes to remove excess starch, blotted the disks dry, tossed the barely damp potatoes in a little vegetable oil, pre-steamed them 2 or 3 minutes covered in the microwave (to achieve the desired fluffy interiors) and then air fried them shaking every few minutes to get the golden with crispy exterior. We have also made frozen taquitos that were golden crisp on the outside and piping hot on the inside. We also had great success reheating french fries that lost some of their crispiness from “steaming” in the bag on the trip home from McDonalds. Due to the small batch size, I would not try to cook something for more than 1 or 2 people, unless it is an appetizer with very small helpings. If you overfill or overcrowd the fry basket, the food will not crisp well.The basket has a removable bottom, and both pieces are nonstick and easy to clean. It is my habit to either immediately wash the basket and tray or put them to soak for washing after the meal. I also only use plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the basket. So far the finish has held up well. If it starts to degrade, I will update my review.***Also, I took the advice of other reviewers and coated the numbers on the temperature dial and around the timer dial with clear nail polish to assure the numbers would not wear off from repeated cleaning. So far, so good! Numbers are still intact after a few cleanings. If this changes I will likewise update my review.UPDATE: After having the air fryer is still going strong. It has been used a couple times a week for almost a year and a half now. The clear nail polish I applied to protect the numbers on the temperature and timer dials has worked flawlessly to prevent the numbers from being damaged by cleaning.UPDATE November 2024: Weâve had this air fryer over 3 years, and itâs still growing strong. Also, all of the time and temperature numbers are still intact.

From Canada – Sept. 2023 – a year AFTER buying our DASH air fryer. Hubby resisted having an air-fryer for nearly 2 yrs. He said, – we have two insta-pots and that’s enough – besides, we don’t have room for more big appliances in our kitchen. Fine, I didn’t push it until one day in Sept. 2022 (a yr. ago) this cute DASH air-fryer (a name brand I’d never heard of) was featured on Amazon for only $40 Cdn. + tax. So, hubby said fine – he agreed it was worth a try for such a small cost. We hadn’t seen any brands under $130 each, up until then. I see this one costs $116.00 now however – everything has gone up like crazy since Covid ended.Ours arrived well packed and brand new, not a “return” as I’ve read some people have received in the past. Before buying it I also read that the timing numbers can wear off quickly (around the timing knob) so … as soon as I got mine, I cut out a round ring from a transparent plastic book cover I had, and taped it on. Whalla! My numbers are still intact as new, with the covering over them.Our air fryer has been used well over 50 times within the past year and with GREAT results each time! Our favorite thing to cook in it is chicken of course…crispy brown, and juicy each time. The day I cooked a whole chicken in it (that comes out so crispy all over and juicy inside – 1 hr. 10 mins. at 375 – turning once half way – starting with the front side down) – was the day hubby decided we should have TWO air fryers…so, guess what I got for Xmas last year…another one he bought from London Drugs! And somehow finding room for all these machines is no longer a problem? – ha! The second one is a little bigger (a different brand) and so far works well too, but … this little DASH … is still my go to first! Now we have one for meat and one for veggies/fries. Buying a “two basket” air fryer didn’t make sense to us – different foods take different times to cook. We didn’t want over-cooked fries or veggies as we waited for the meat to cook properly, so having two air fryers makes a lot of sense to us.Don’t hesitate to buy this machine … which is perfect for two people! After a whole year of regular use, we still LOVE OUR DASH!!!

La amooooo, me simplifica la vida de una manera increÃble, también compre de esta misma marca la mini wafflera y la ameee no se le pega nada, al igual que esta air fryer, he visto comentarios de que es difÃcil lavarla y la verdad es que para nada!!! No dudes en comprarla, la calidad es muy buena, también leà que decÃan que huele mucho a plástico quemado y la realidad es que casi no huele a plástico más bien huele a las cosas deliciosas que cocinas.Hice una ardua investigación y creo que está Air fryer es la mejor opción, la marca Dash es buenÃsima, también te recomiendo le des una checada a los demás productos.NO LO DUDES Y CÃMPRALA AHORA!!

Good quality air fryer for the sale price. I have used it fairly regularly for 6 months now, most of the time just tossing in preseasoned frozen chicken breasts from Walmart, and then some mini potatoes. The trick is to use some cooking spray directly on the meat after, turns out perfect every damn time.Even heat, easy to use, and easy clean up. The small size makes it perfect for single people or couples. Wish I had bought a few more before the price increase as gifts and for myself (simultaneous air frying?).

Me encantó, está muy buena. Ya la usé para hacer alitas y también para hacer milanesas y quedó rico. Muy práctica. El tamaño es bueno para una o dos personas si tu familia es grande, considera una más grande, porque no tiene espacio para poner mucho. Pero para mà está perfecta. El color también es muy lindo.
