Faster to heat up than a conventional grill, Chefree’s Air Fryer Grill goes one better, incorporating the ability to air fry, so you can make healthier homemade chips or whip up crispy food from the freezer in minutes.

It was incredibly daunting initially, and it took me a few minutes to work out how to start the air fryer (the start button looks like an odd fast-forward button), but within a few uses, I’d gotten the hang of it.

Most of the reviews for the Chefree Air Fryer Grill AFG01 are glowing, with praise for its large capacity, multifunctionality and high heat settings.

Its stylish appearance will enhance your kitchen with a gleaming black and stainless steel finish on the front panels and handle.
