Cooks well and cleans up easily thanks to the glass pot, but the preset-only control scheme frustrates some buyers and multiple reports of unresponsive warranty support are worth weighing.

Overview
A combination air fryer and grill from NutriChef, pairing a 4 quart glass air fryer pot with a smaller 1.2 quart griller in one countertop unit. It runs 1500W with 7 preset cook modes and a see-through glass pot instead of an opaque basket.
The glass pot is the real differentiator here, letting you watch food cook rather than pulling a basket to check it, and reviewers confirm it cleans up faster than a typical air fryer basket. The digital control panel is a weaker point: several reviewers found there's no direct way to enter a custom temperature and time, only to select and then modify a preset, and the air fryer mode tops out at 390 degrees rather than the 400 some expected.
- 4 quart glass air fryer pot plus 1.2 quart grill
- 7 preset cook modes
- 1500W double-decker heating design
- Dishwasher-safe rack and non-stick pot
Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants to see food cooking without opening the unit and mainly relies on preset modes rather than dialing in custom settings. Less suited to buyers who want quick manual control over exact temperature and time, or anyone wary of navigating a warranty claim if an error code appears.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently like the glass pot for visibility and easy cleanup, and several say it cooks frozen food crisp in well under 20 minutes while running quieter than other air fryers they've used. The digital controls draw complaints for requiring a preset to be selected before its temperature or time can be adjusted, and multiple reviewers, including two writing in Spanish, describe slow or absent manufacturer response after an E3 error code or a failed air fry function despite the advertised one-year warranty.
