Dash Tasti-Crisp Digital Air Fryer, 2.6 Quart, Aqua

This air fryer is great! It is fairly easy to clean and was easy to use. I was worried when the base didn’t fully come apart like my last one, but the insert coming out helps a lot! It has been perfect for cooking and everything comes out PERFECT! You can’t beat the price tag. Lastly, it’s a bit wider than I anticipated, but it still saves a lot of counter space compared to the giant ones with all the bells and whistles. I was not using my big fancy one so I gave it to friends who will. They gave me their little one and it died recently, so this was an easy upgrade! It’s perfect if your space is tight or you only need the air fryer feature. I could also see this used easily by a responsible child and much safer than an oven and having to remember to shut it off. Having worked with special needs population, this could be a very easy one to teach them and understand. I honestly leave it on 400F and cook everything at that temp. Except fish. Only thing you need to know is the time!

Only had for a week, used four times. So far, am loving it. Came from using the Ninja Foodi Grill air fryer, the darn thing was so heavy and large, I wanted a smaller and more convenient option after my husband died, because I did not want to use it, he was the machine operator! This air fryer was described in an article by a well known print and digital consumer reporting magazine, as a recommended option. I felt like it was worth trying. Opted for the regular non-stick model because I planned to use parchment in the basket to make cleanup easier and preserve the non-stick coating, as well as the cost difference between it and the ceramic model. I've since learned I may want to try the perforated parchment, what I bought is not perforated, so am curious about air flow differences. Also discovered a hack stating that placing the non-perforated liner baskets in the very bottom of the fryer, under the perforated crisper tray works. I have not tried that yet. Pros for me are the unit's small size and weight, handle on top, QUIET operation (actually thought it wasn't working until I began to smell the food!). Being used to the noise of the Foodi, this quietness was a pleasant shock. Also pre-heating is not a requirement, (but recommended) depending on food choices. Since it is not required, there is no ready made pre-heat setting, but I think you could easily program one of the three available preset options for that purpose. I've only done frozen potstickers and frozen chicken wing parts so far, both with and without oil. I chose olive oil delivered via a fine spray mister. Still have more to experiment with, but with & without oil, with & without parchment basket liners, I saw no difference in crispness. The frozen chicken wing parts will not be something I purchase again though, as they are so full of water, that cooking them from a frozen state results in a swimming pool of liquid and does not yield anything crisp. Recommend thawing those and making sure to use pressure and paper towels to squish wetness out before cooking. Anxious to try "fresh" (non-frozen) wings instead. All in all, this feels like a quality unit, that if used properly should do the trick for my purposes. I do feel like the instructions could be a bit more detailed, I prefer an easy to reference chart, which is shown, but is split onto two pages in the manual. A special note, if you register your air fryer, Dash adds an additional year to the warranty. We shall see how that works out!

We are empty nesters, kids are grown and long gone. Got tired of the BIG Instant Pot taking up so much room and cooking too much. We saw the reviews on the smaller 2.6 qt Dash Air Fryer and decided to try one during Amazon Days. This unit has been fantastic, I am already losing weight by eating just enough instead of the over size meals made in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot has been retired to the back pantry The Dash Digital is about as easy to use as possible. Clean up is even easier. I purchased 3 silicone basket liners for easy cleanup. I read the reviews of not to use silicone liners, but in the same breath they tell you to shake or turn your food half way though anyhow...so what's the difference? I have tried it with and without the liners, I don't see any difference and clean up is throwing the silicone liners in the dish washer instead if washing and drying the Air Fryer between entrées The 2.6 is about at small as I would go for 2 people, 3 qt would have been perfect. For fries etc. it's perfect, but one layer items like chicken breast, etc, just a 1/2 inch larger would have been perfect for 2. But again, smaller portions, I'm losing weight I needed to lose. We haven't fixed a bad meal in ours yet. Going to make our first Omelet today. Don't regret buying this at all, it's a total winner and looks fantastic on the counter.

Had one just like it from years ago before, I don't like that so much food gets underneath the tray but it's cleanable. Other than that works great.

Absolutely love this air fryer. Nice color and fits in my kitchen nicely. Best French fries ever.

I bought this appliance two years ago. I was looking for something as quiet as possible and not too bulky, and it did not disappoint. My husband and I have been using it regularly for the past two years, and we have always been very happy with the results. It cooks evenly, is easy to use, and fits well in the kitchen without taking too much space. After two years, the non-stick coating on the grill has started to wear a little. I hesitated to replace the whole unit, but I was happy to find that replacement grills are available, which is a big plus. One piece of advice: do not put the basket in the dishwasher. After two years, the color has started to peel. It is not a safety issue as long as food does not touch the sides, and using a silicone insert solves the problem completely. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Very nice and convenient size, practical.

I got this one because of the size and it looked easy to use. I love the size. Cooks fast. Easy to program ! I get confused easily! Doesn’t get hot on the outside. Good price. Very quiet. It’s only me so it’s really perfect for everything I cook. Not a full size sweet potato. Easy to clean. Good gift for someone with a small area . Also for someone who has trouble with settings!

Me encantó mi freidora, llevo casi más de un año con ella y no me ha fallado. He podido cocinar en ella hasta panqués y cupcakes. Es muy pequeña de capacidad pero no hace nada de ruido y cabe en cualquier parte. Lo único que si no he podido es quitarle todo el cochambre que se le va haciendo en la charola pero es muy fácil de manejar. En cuanto a la comida salada queda bastante crujiente sin la necesidad de aceite.

This is so perfect for a family of 2. Does all veggies so great. Baby potatoes done great, roasted. Fish and chicken really good. I have recommended this to small families, very compact and east to use and clean.

Great small air fryer, easy to use, stays cool to the tough and has a handle to move it. Have bought two for home. Small on can fit in cupboard, do not have to keep on counter.

E1 error....Non-functioning...(from warehouse) Had to return. E

This little unit is perfect for a single person or even a couple. It runs well and does everything just as described. I love it for when you order fries to be delivered and they are cold when they get to you. I have the air fryer already setup and ready to go when the fries get here. Simply put them in the fryer for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees and voila!!! Perfectly reheated, crispy french fries! Compact and easy to store as well.
