SalterEK2817 2L Compact Air Fryer - Hot Air Circulation, Removable Non-Stick Cooking Rack, Adjustable Temperature Up To 200°C, 30 Minute Timer, 1000W, Single Person, Small & Single Person Household

Cooked chicken breast burger and wedges in it and they came out perfect. The bowl is just over 6" diameter and the unit itself is about 8" dia (although base is slightly less, the 8" doesn't include the handle). The height is 12". Seems well made, and is very simple to use. it has an orange light to say it's on and a green light to say it's reached the temperature you set. Bowl and stand were easy to clean. Got mine for my caravan. It's only for one person, but if you just want to do sausage and bacon rolls for breakfast you could cook enough for two, or a pot of wedges etc.

Living on my own now and the wrong side of 60, I was very sceptical of these new fangled air fryer things. I wish I had bought this ages ago. I now enjoy browned, crisp juicy chicken once more.Bought this 2L one (EK2817) because it was small; with a footprint of about 8 inches x 8 inches and 10 inches tall. It has a round pull-out non-stick pan which is 6.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. It is surprising what you can fit in there; a couple of chicken thighs alongside a couple of sausages with some chips.It is rated at 1000 watts at just over 4amps: so it should use about 1KwH (a unit) in one hour; normal cooking time is about 15/20 minutes, so four meals should cost roughly one unit [for comparison: watching some TVs for six hours can also consume one unit]When it arrives, follow the set up card - wipe it off, plug it in and turn it up and on for a few minutes to shed that new appliance smell.The main instruction book is online but can be downloaded. Basically turn the thing up to temperature and turn the timer to three minutes. One led tells you it is switched on, the other goes out when it is up to the set temperature. When it is at temperature throw your food in, frozen food is no issue, set the timer for about half the cooking time. The led will go on and off as it maintains the temperature. When timer sounds its very loud 'bing' have a look, shake it, turn it over etc or add the stuff that needs to cook for a lesser time. It cooks anything; battered, breaded, vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, bread - just chuck it in. If you are going to add oil, very little is needed - one of those single spray things is idealTimer can be turned up but not down. Temperature you can adjust at any time. Unit switches off when timer stops or the pan is pulled out. Pan has a perforated removable shelf; oil and surplus juices drains through this into the bottom of the pan; you cannot tip your cooked food out without risking the oil following it onto your plate. A pair of tongs is really helpful. Case becomes warm to touch and warm/hot air comes out underneath so, if you want to warm your plates, leave them beside the base!Cleaning is simple; a little detergent and some boiling water and leave it to soak. When the water is cool enough, pull out the shelf if you have used it and sponge/rinse/dry. Then rinse the pan itself out and you're done. Non-stick coating is really good. Unit has a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.If you feel you need to line it, a 5.3 inch silicon liner fits well although any liner will stop any juices draining away, is awkward to get out when the pan is hot and is cleaned the same way as the pan. Anything you can put in an oven you can put in this; foil, parchment, cook-in bags etc.Very, very impressed

This Salter EK2817 2L Compact Air Fryer is a great introduction to Air Fryers if you’re unsure about if you’d use one.It’s on the smaller end of the scale, perfect for 1-2 people, and takes up very little space on a work surface. Due to its small size, it cooks very efficiently, needing slightly less time than bigger models I’ve used. Everything comes out perfectly cooked and crispy! Compact but powerful and sleek looking!Simple to use, especially if you aren’t a fan of digital screens - this only has two dials one for temperature and one for time. The non stick surface allows for easy cleaning and the device is fantastic value for money! Would strongly recommend

This is my first air fryer, and so far I am happy with the results. It is easy to operate, and is very suitable for two person meals.

I bought this air fryer in June 2023, I don't use it every day but I'd say 3-4 times a week, I bought it for just under £25 and can't believe how much the price has increased!The unit itself is compact and the pictures on all the air fryers have the basket loaded to the top... ridiculous advertising as air fryers should have a single layer of food. So it's very small, I can cook 2 or 3 chicken drumsticks or one quarter pounder, no room for chips or wedges so you'll have to have a very posh dining experience where each course is actually part of the same course....The timer is a rotary knob which clicks around on its own, it cannot be forwarded so you just have to let it keep ticking until the bell goesIt heats up quickly and food cooks evenly, nice results all round. I've had no problems with anything, it does what it's always done! It's a little loud but that's to be expected.For the price now I'd shop around as it's too expensive for the size, it's a great little air fryer and if it ever drops back to a sensible price I'd happily buy it again!Summary....price not good, unit very good!

This is suitable for a one person home. Easy to use and economical to run.Isn’t too big so won’t take up much counter space.The interior is so easy to keep clean (even if you don’t have liners) but don’t submerge the fryer drawer part as the handle retains water and it’ll take a while for this to drip dry. Other than that it’s a suburb little addition to your kitchen.I think it’s good value for money and does exactly what a more expensive model does.

No matter what they say it is not easy to clean at all.It is non stick, but bits of grease are impossible to get off. I've had it a while and use it rarely, but I do clean it every time. I had to try all sorts and in the end the only thing that cleaned the grease off was a wire wool sponge which wasn't ideal as I worried that the non stick coating might chip off as I remember some reviews saying, but it didn't. It cooks things really well, and fast, but you can do one portion of chips at a time so it's ideal for cooking for one person only - not any more.
