Excellent video, Clara - your reviews are always so thorough, polished and delivered professionally! It's interesting this overheating issue - looks like the thermostat is way out of calibration - worrying if the temperature is getting so high as to cause distortion to the drawer front. I've also never had much luck with celeb chef endorsed cooking appliances or implements and this looks like another to avoid. It may look the part, but reliable results are all important with air fryers for me, especially as the reduced time and temperatures needed can take a bit of getting used to anyway.
The small+large compartments look like a useful, novel addition to the market. I have found that other well known brands are quick to overcook various foods, despite shortening heating times and lowering temperatures and require close attention even after buying various books, not set and forget like a microwave oven.
Brilliant review Clara…but like a few other people have said, you get what you pay for. On first inspection, it looks like you are getting a lot for your money, but with incorrect temperature readings and the warped drawer after only the first use, I’m sure Asda will be getting a lot of returns. Please keep the great reviews, tips and advice coming. 👍
Thanks so much for the comment, yes at first glance I thought this one would be great, I was excited that I might be able to recommend it, but it was not to be! 😕
Interesting video thank you. I agree about the colour it's gorgeous, I have a black Cosori which looks really ugly in my white themed kitchen although I suspect it performs much better than this model.
Hi thanks for a great review. Just to say I would think that most of these cheap air fryers are all made in China more than likely in the same factory with different brand names and badges on the front. Nothing against Chinese made air fryers just saying. Sadly a lot of the time the quality is just not there in that price range. When people see the well-known brand badge these days I don't think they realise they are not actually getting that brand name anymore a lot of the times it's just mass produced rebranded cheap and cheerful appliances.😅 Love watching your videos. 👍
I think they are probably ALL made in China, I think the difference is some manufacturers hand over the entire production to an overseas factory and some are much more involved with the details of the production process.
I agree, I think it’s too cheap, when you start breaking down that price into VAT, retailers share, transportation costs etc, the actual machine is put together for a few ££ 😕
Maybe you get what you pay for its very cheap but i do like the colour i have 2 cosoris the Dual blaze and the twin drawer with lights love them both for different reasons but it i had to pick i prefer the blaze with its 2 heating elements would like them to do different colours like they used to do with the older basket drawer ones red white and black .
I guess the logic is he's a chef he should know what a good air fryer (or knife, or whatever...) looks like and when he's comissioned someone to make it, he puts his name on it...
@@CandidClaraI don't think that's the way it works. The celebrity is approached by the manufacturer/outlet to see if they will put their name to a product, essentially using the celebrity's fame to promote the item. TriZone Air Fryer 'by' Drew Barrymore? Come on!
l once paid over the odds for a jamie oliver pan, never again will an endorsement by a celeb convince me to buy an appliance, and that includes youtubers, specially if they have links to the product they are reviewing

Thank you Mark, I really appreciate the comment 🙏

That hasn’t been my experience, I have had one that was slow, this is the first one to run hot

Great video Clara - love the colour too but the melty bendy draws are a bit of a downer. Looking forward to the next test on the Ninja 😃😃
Thank you!
Putting a chefs name is a doubt for me ! ! thanks for the info as always a true review!
Same.
It's interesting to hear that, clearly it works for someone otherwise they wouldn't do it...
Mr D’acampo has a cookbook out. There will be a problem with the recipes if they have been tested in his own brand air fryer!
It would be interesting to know if they were wouldn’t it? 😉
IVE just bought his cook book but not tried it yet I have cosori TurboBlaze air fryer
Interesting video thank you. I agree about the colour it's gorgeous, I have a black Cosori which looks really ugly in my white themed kitchen although I suspect it performs much better than this model.
It’s definitely the best colour one I have ever had and I liked the clear display. I had such high hopes for it! 🙁

@@CandidClara Yes you made a good point with the involvement. Thanks for the reply.
If it's only £89 and got a "celebrity chef" name on it alarm bells should sound straight away

I agree, but I think the colours will only get better and I think it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing really cool limited edition ones
Hiy Clara,
I don’t like the air fryers with drawers.
I love the Hysapientia 24 ltr.
You might like the Breville Halo which I have just ordered then! 😉
😮wow Dangerous thank you ❤
Never understood the draw to ridiculous celebrity endorsed products. D'acampo isn't an engineer, he's a chef. People are weird.
I guess the logic is he's a chef he should know what a good air fryer (or knife, or whatever...) looks like and when he's comissioned someone to make it, he puts his name on it...

Noted! Fortunately I don’t care which one you buy (unless you buy a crap one, then I do care!)
Looks like a military Philips.
Haha, I hadn’t thought of that!
how is it at sausage in the hole ? 😂
Eh?! 🤔
look for the This Morning clip where he insists on calling Toad in the Hole Sausage in the Hole
