I couldn\u2019t be happier with the Dash compact air fryer review. The Dash air fryer worked fantastically well. It was simple to operate, but importantly it was easy to learn how to use. The cooking results were great too. All things considered; I would thoroughly recommend this air fryer. Keep on reading, it you want a little more detail on the what\u2019s and the whys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cons<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello again\u2026welcome to my Dash compact air fryer review.\nThey are all much of a muchness you may say\u2026not in this case. This is something\ndifferent\u2026but is it something special? Let\u2019s find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve spoken many times about the benefits of air frying\u2026and that\u2019s coming from somebody that reaches for a Dutch oven<\/a> at the first opportunity. There is a place for everything though and an air fryer can really help you manage your day more efficiently, especially if you have a brood of hungry children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, we know that you can cook foods with 75% less calories,\nwe know that you can retain more nutrition in the food and we also know that it\nis quick and easy. So, what can the Dash air fryer do that is different? Let\u2019s\nfind out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In my review of the Dash compact electric air fryer, I will\nconsider various aspects of it\u2026from the design to the air frying ability. I\nwill consider what is good about it and also let you know what you should watch\nout for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start with the unboxing first\u2026always my favorite part\nof any review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The box is small\u2026it\u2019s a small air fryer so it should not\nsurprise me\u2026but it did. I\u2019m so used to big boxes arriving from Amazon\u2026mostly\nindustrial looking brown boxes with the \u2018real\u2019 box inside. It\u2019s actually quite\nrefreshing to get a \u2018real\u2019 box right away if that makes sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First impressions, I like the design. It really gives it a\nmodern feel but with an abundance of character. I love the strong red colors on\nit. I think I will be keeping this box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what\u2019s actually in the box? Well of course\u2026the air\nfryer. You get a very simple user guide which is good. It\u2019s simple to read and\neasy to follow. Who has the time or desire to read through an industrial\nlooking user manual? Not many\u2026you just want to play with your new toy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The recipe book looks fab too. Some nice simple recipes to\nget you going\u2026the instructions are clear and concise\u2026the pictures are lovely. You\nwill like this, I do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s pretty much it in side the box\u2026very simple but very\nwell done too. I really approve of the fact that there is very little\nenvironmental wastage coming from the packaging. Not many manufacturers pay too\nmuch attention to this, so well done to Dash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time to take a closer look at the DASH electric air fryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Initial impressions are very positive actually. In my review\nof the Cosori air fryer, I spoke of the sleekness and modernity of the design.\nThis\u2026well this is something different all together. It\u2019s pretty unique actually\nbecause the design really stands out in a crowded market place. It might not be\nto everybody\u2019s taste\u2026but the design is inoffensive and I can see most people\nliking it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I know that this might sound a little strange\u2026but from a\ndistance, I kind of looks like an electric kettle\u2026that might give you an\nindication of the footprint. It\u2019s relatively small and quite discrete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It comes in a few colorways. This being the grey. They are\nalso available in black, white, red and a lovely looking aqua color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The unit itself has some very nice chrome accents which give\nit a premium feel. The handle also has some metal on it too\u2026makes it stronger\nand easier to clean too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, I like the styling and design function. Simple yet\nclassy. This is what good design should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You say front panel\u2026this is more like a top panel. The air\nfryer is small so actually it makes sense to place it up there. If it was on\nthe front, you would have to crouch and bend over to see what you are doing.\nThis is a wise choice and much more comfortable for the user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The display is simple\u2026yet effective. No complex looking\npanel to be seen here\u2026a nice red display and a few buttons. If I didn\u2019t read the\nuser instructions (I did), I think I could get this working using common sense\nalone. This is good, simple user interface with simple operation. Big plus here\nfor Dash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you would expect on any modern air fryer, the Dash has a\nnumber of preset options, and a few more buttons such as power, start\/stop\nalongside the adjustment buttons that allow you to adjust the cooking settings.\nSimple, yet effective controls. That\u2019s all you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no surprises here too, The Dash air fryer is well\nmade and built well. It has a nice weight to it too which helps the feel of it.\nThe body is made out of plastic and quite frankly, it is exactly what I\nexpected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At this price point, this is what you expect\u2026and it\u2019s what\nyou get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The buttons are touch control so will last, and the inner tray and basket is metal with a non-stick coating. It is rated as dishwasher safe<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Round the back, there is a vent to release the air whilst\ncooking, you need to leave at least 6 inches between the wall and unit when it\nis cooking. The base of it is stabilized using rubber feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
