The Uten Air Fryer 1500W Oven was £78.41 but has been reduced to £56.66 as part of a site-wide sale on electronics. Fans have been raving about chicken that is "cooked to perfection" using the device. It's also available on eBay for £79.99.

The Uten Air Fryer 1500W Oven
You can even cook fries using the rotisserie function

You can manually set the temperature and timer on the Uten Air Fryer, but once it reaches a temperature greater than 240C it will automatically enter the standby mode as a safety device. There is a double-layer heat-resistant tempered glass door to retain heat within the fryer. It has a 10L capacity big enough for a roast chicken as well as a selection of other foods with individual settings:

  • Very long selection interval: bread function 2 ~ 8min, defrost function 10 ~ 45min.
  • Extremely wide temperature control range: 25 ~ 60C for defrosting, 80 ~ 200C for other cooking functions.

Shoppers seem to love the air fryer, leaving over 4700 five star reviews on Amazon - an improvement of 200 positive reviews since we last covered the air fryer in September.

Another person, concerned with the cost of living crisis, said: "Start of energy prices going up so I thought I would give an air fryer a try. So glad we did. Rotating basket very good for fries."

A third person wrote: "Got this for my daughter, she loves it, chicken cooked to perfection on the spit. Great for the price, would recommend it."

Finally, another reviewer called it the "best thing" they ever bought. However, some shoppers commented that the fan was quite loud on the device.

Others found it tricky to clean. One person wrote: "The basket isn't the easiest thing to clean but all other removable items are." But one shopper found an easy solution, by purchasing some aluminium sheets to use on the tray.

They said: "My flatmates started using aluminium sheets on the tray to avoid cleaning as much, I did the same and it works like a charm."
