Features of the Chefman Turbofry 3.6 Qt Air Fryer
This air fryer can be purchased on Amazon and is suitable for 2-3 people. Even though it’s a bit smaller, you can use it to cook, bake, roast, and fry many meals and snacks.
One feature is that the tray sits inside the basket. With many air fryers, the tray is under the basket, which can make a greasy mess. This makes it easier to clean the air fryer. Just pull out the basket, remove the tray, and wash it by hand.
The red/blue light indicator at the top of the air fryer flashes red when the air fryer is in use.
The plastic used in the manufacture of this product is BPA-free. BPA is Bisphenol A is a chemical compound suspected of causing cancer. It has been used in the manufacture of many plastic products including electronics, data storage devices, water bottles, and more.

A Word About Ventilation
Please note that the vents are located at the bottom of the front of the air fryer. If your countertop is sensitive to heat, it is best to place the air fryer on a large wooden cutting board. (Very Important with Granite and Quartz Countertops)
Wrap Up
There’s a lot to like about the Chefman Turbofry 3.6 Qt Air Fryer. Don’t let the size fool you. The additional accessories allow you to expand the types of foods you prepare. The recipe book, however, is a bit sparse. Sixteen recipes barely cover the many dishes you can make with this air fryer.
The size of this air fryer is ideal for small kitchens where space is at a premium. It’s also ideal for RV’s, dorms, and tiny houses. For this reason, I give this air fryer a rating of 9.7 out of 10 for this fryer.
