Overview
Bella's 17868 packs an 8-quart basket and a 1750-watt heating element into a digital air fryer with a 90 to 400 degree range. It's sized for family-scale cooking rather than single servings.
Bella markets the capacity as 6.6 lb, and the 8-quart basket is large enough for family-size batches like whole turkey breasts or multiple casseroles, according to owners. The digital touchscreen with presets is meant to simplify cooking, though the real day-to-day advantage is basket size over a smaller air fryer, not any single feature. One recurring complaint about a fan noise defect on a first unit was resolved by Amazon's replacement process rather than the product design itself.
- 8-quart nonstick basket and crisping tray
- 1750-watt TurboCrisp heating element
- 90 to 400 degree digital temperature control
- Auto shutoff with preset cooking functions
Who it's for
Households cooking for multiple people benefit most from one large-capacity air fryer instead of running several small-batch cooks. It's less practical for a single person or small household with limited counter space, given the unit's size.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently praise the basket size, describing it as large enough for turkey breasts, casseroles and family-size batches without running multiple rounds. Several note the build quality feels solid rather than lightweight, and one long-term owner reports it still working well after roughly three years of daily use. One reviewer's first unit had a fan noise defect and needed an Amazon replacement, which resolved the issue; another notes that air fryer paper can catch the heating element and burn if not weighed down properly.
