Although many ovens now have air fryer functions, ovens are more expensive and occupy a larger area than air fryers. The air fryer is relatively lightweight and easier to operate. You can use it to make your dinner directly.
This time we purchased a Dreo air fryer for review. It is a relatively small and compact air fryer on the market. If your kitchen storage area is limited but you need to buy an air fryer, then this is the best choice. It is easy to operate and easy to use, and the price is more affordable than other brands of air fryers. We’ve reviewed its features in detail, so if you want to know more details, keep reading.

The exterior of the entire product has a glossy design, and the simple design is suitable for placement on the kitchen countertop. Before purchasing, I noticed the size of the product. The compact design is suitable for placement on the countertop in any kitchen. If the kitchen area is small and the storage space is limited, it will be suitable for your kitchen. The product also comes with a user guide and recipes, with more than 500 recipes for you to choose from. The LED screen of the product is on the top, which replaces the buttons and switches very well, and the operation is smoother and more intuitive.

There are icons to explain, which is easy to understand, and the operation is also very simple. You only need to place the food, set the time and temperature, and then you can bake.
Performance

I often use the air fryer instead of the bread machine to do the work for me and bake bread in the morning. The rest of the time, I will use it to make my afternoon tea, such as making some fried chicken or French fries that can be made quickly. This time I’ll test it with toast and chips.
Toast
I usually eat two slices of toast in the morning, so I bought a toaster for this purpose. But the air fryer can also be used to bake toast, but it can only bake one side. If you need to bake both sides, you need to take it out halfway and flip it over to bake again. I usually bake it crispy on one side, so it takes relatively less time.
Place the toast flat in the air fryer, set the temperature to 380 degrees, and bake for 3 minutes. The final result will be very good, but the speed will be about a minute slower than the toaster. But it will be crispier than a toaster, and the temperature can be adjusted by yourself.
Frozen French fries
French fries should be the easiest food to process in the air fryer. There is no need to prepare them in advance. You can just put the French fries directly into the air fryer and bake them and also no need to add oil. Compared with traditional frying, it will be easier to process and more healthy, so I often use the air fryer for my afternoon tea or dinner snacks.
There is an option for French fries in the preset button, so I don’t need to adjust the temperature and time myself. I can just spread the frozen French fries flat inside the French fries. Don’t pour too much at one time because it will cause uneven heating.I can just spread the frozen fries flat in the frying basket. Do not pour too much at one time as it will cause uneven heating. It is best to take out the frying basket and shake it before continuing to bake, so that the fries will be baked more evenly. It is best to make the French fries very crispy and not burnt. The taste will be more refreshing without adding oil.
Who should buy it?
The characteristic of this air fryer is that it is compact and lightweight. It has a compact design but is fully functional, and can be moved around easily, even if you do not undergo any daily strength training. Its internal capacity is four quarts, which is perfectly fine for me to use by myself. Occasionally, when friends come over, I need to make afternoon tea for two people. But if you are a large family and need to prepare meals and afternoon tea for many people, you may need to buy an air fryer with a larger capacity, otherwise you will need to process it twice. If you don’t have to prepare meals for many people and don’t have a lot of storage space, you’ll be happy with its design and functionality.
Cleaning

After each grilling, food residue or grease may settle on the bottom, so it needs to be cleaned. We recommend taking out the bottom of the basket and washing it by hand, because the inside of the frying basket has a non-stick coating, and using the dishwasher may damage the non-stick coating and shorten its life. For hand washing, just use a sponge and detergent to clean the inside.
Is it worth to buy?
I have also tested many air fryers. In fact, the functions of air fryers are similar. The difference lies in the external design and the number of functions. You need to clearly know your needs, which will help you choose an air fryer better. This air fryer is lightweight and has complete functions. Compared with other air fryers, it is more economical and affordable. You can use it to quickly prepare meals or afternoon tea. Whether it’s design, functionality or price, it’s worth buying.
