Tried and tested: Is Haier’s new air fryer really worth the hype?

We’re talking – touch screen and in-built heat protection legs – you name it, Haier has thought of it.

It’s not every day you get the opportunity to try a newly launched premium air fryer from world renowned appliance brand, Haier.

If you haven’t heard of the brand before, I’m sure you will soon. Named the number one leader in home appliances for the 14th consecutive year, I better quickly give you the low down to this air fryer while stocks last.

Number one on my list – aesthetic, and Haier’s air fryer does not disappoint. It’s that chic you can not only spot it a mile away, but it would fit any kitchen’s décor. It’s versatile, meaning the world is your oyster when it comes to cooking anything and everything.

Outside of the air frying function, you can roast, bake, grill, dry, re-heat, de-frost, slow cook. You can even make yoghurt. Umm in an air fryer? It’s not Haier’s first rodeo.

Better yet, you can save all your favourite settings so you can cook to perfection every time. The user interface is super snazzy and easy to operate (not to mention, touch screen), so be prepared to feel like a pro when working your magic in the kitchen.

It's far quicker and just as effective than using an oven. This means, no more waiting for 20-30 minutes for the oven to be pre-heated. Rather, even, the cost in gas to do so. If I want to cook a piece of salmon in Haier’s air fryer, I just put it straight in (without any oil or butter if I am feeling extra healthy that night) and 20 minutes later, it’s ready to go. Crisp on the outside and medium-rare on the inside. Divine.

The only caveat of the air fryer would be the space but if you are happy with the fact that it fits one whole juicy chicken roast in there, with the veggies cooking below (another genius idea by Haier to create a bespoke mini stand), that’s enough to feed all your loved ones.

Aside from the air fryer being the prettiest piece in the kitchen, my favourite part about the appliance is its unique design. Not only do you get that gorgeous glass window feature, giving you a bird’s eye view of what’s cooking inside, the heat protection legs built into the base of the tray are equally as high on my list.

These features, my friends, are absolute game-changers. It’s safe to say this air fryer is worth every penny and by no means would I go back to what I had before (don’t ask!). If you are sold on Haier’s air fryer, lucky for you, there’s more.

Just in time for Christmas, the brand has launched the Haier I Master Series 5 range. Seven beautiful kitchen appliances all available to shop now. Don’t forget to check out Haier’s other incredible Black Friday deals on-site too.
