Overview

Air fry, bake, reheat, or start from frozen: the Chefman TurboX RJ38-5T covers all four in a 5-quart, 1500W basket with digital touch controls and X-shaped airflow that skips preheating.

Its X-shaped airflow design is built to circulate air through the whole basket without a preheat step, which is the feature separating it from simpler single-mode fryers, and a shake alert partway through cooking is meant to catch food that needs turning for even crisping. It's UL approved with a 1-year warranty from Chefman.

  • 5-quart capacity, 1500W/120V
  • 4 functions: air fry, bake, reheat, frozen
  • X-shaped airflow, no preheat needed
  • Dishwasher-safe basket and rack, UL approved

Who it's for

Works for a household of about four that wants one appliance covering air frying, baking, reheating, and cooking from frozen without extra gadgets on the counter. Less suited to anyone needing a much larger basket for bigger batches, since 5 quarts caps how much food fits at once.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers describe it as easy to use even for people who don't normally buy kitchen gadgets, with wings and other foods coming out crisp without extra effort. Opinions split on noise: one buyer called out a low, annoying hum during operation while another specifically praised how quiet it runs.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Air fry, bake, reheat, and frozen in one unit
  • No preheat needed thanks to X-shaped airflow
  • Basket and rack are dishwasher safe

Performance notes

The X-shaped airflow is designed to reach food from multiple angles inside the basket rather than blowing straight down, which Chefman says removes the need to preheat, and reviewers who tried it on wings and other food report crisp, evenly cooked results without extra steps. The shake alert sounds partway through a cook cycle as a reminder to redistribute food, though it's a prompt rather than an automatic action, so it still requires opening the basket.
