I have it for about 2 months. It is for one and a half person at most! It can fit only a medium-sized potato, spread it on the paper and wait at least 20 minutes. It turns out good, but a little bit small! The burger I tried, it would still be raw, so I put it in the pan slowly and finished it off. Mini pitas with tomato and cheese on top, they turn out nice.
I have it for a few months now. I can no longer understand the very good reviews. I cook relatively small quantities but it is always more than what is stated in the brochure. For example, the frozen fries are cooked half well and half uncooked. But the main issue I have is with the meats. I use the non-stick papers that are for this purpose. The paper folds around the edges. As a result, what is in the center burns and what is around it remains uncooked. Also, I turn them over halfway through cooking to get both sides, but the bottom does not cook well. I have also tried without the paper, which does help, but then the whole bin needs a good wash. Anyway, this should not be an issue, since the non-stick papers are from the company. All this time I thought I was doing something wrong. But there is nothing else. You set the time and temperature. That's it.

After 5 months of use, I will deduct stars due to the fact that the non-stick coating came off. Now I always cook with non-stick paper. I also consider it a disadvantage that you cannot live without the grill. In a previous air fryer that I had, it cooked without the grill.
As soon as we got our hands on the IZZY IZ-8213, we realized that it is an ultra-lightweight air fryer with a compact design that truly fits anywhere. It could even find its place in the smallest kitchens, and we can't hide that our first thought was that we could take it with us on vacation or camping.
It features a high-quality touch screen display, quite bright, with very good touch response and 9 pre-set programs.
The removable non-stick grill is easily removable and its cleaning is a piece of cake. It can also be put in the dishwasher, as well as the 4.5-liter basket. Along with the device, 30 pieces of non-stick papers are also included as a gift, so you don't have to worry about cleaning the fryer.
We made Pizza rolls with tortillas and we were surprised by its capacity. It was more than enough for 3 people. Watch the video on our profile on Skroutz here https://bit.ly/3NpWIop
We would say that the IZZY IZ-8213 is the ideal choice for a student, bachelor, or a couple. The most economical choice to take your first steps in cooking with an air fryer.
Of course, we will come back with an update when we have formed a more complete impression about the model.
Second airfryer, after the Xiaomi 3.5L, due to moving. Purchased for €49.90, useful dimensions of the basket are 19.5x20x9 centimeters, this gives a useful capacity of 3.510L for the basket and not 4.5L, I mention this because I consider it very important.
In the package I received, there is the device, the user manual, a rather funny recipe booklet which may be useful to someone, and a bag with 30 non-stick baking sheets inside the basket. These specific sheets are round with a diameter of 20 centimeters, so they wrinkle a bit because the basket is not completely round. The basket and the grill can be washed in the dishwasher (it is mentioned on page 10 of the instructions). As a first use, I let it run for 15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius with 2 slices of lemon. Then, I washed it in the dishwasher and everything was fine. It does not have Wi-Fi, everything is done through the touch screen on the top side. Also, it does not suit me that the lowest temperature setting is 80 degrees Celsius, as I used the 40 degrees setting to defrost something, to reheat something, to make yogurt, or to dry fruits, peppers for paprika, etc. Also, I am bothered by the fact that it does not have an audible notification (based on time or program) to stir the food, I consider it a very important disadvantage. It does not have mobile notifications because it does not have Wi-Fi, therefore no application, I just mention it and I do not judge it as it is mentioned in its features and I knew it beforehand.
Let's get to the point: It is fine for 2 people, I expected it to be bigger and sufficient for cooking for 3+ people, but I was deceived by the 4.5L, it is NOT. Having already experience with airfryers, I do not use any of the programs it has, I always choose time and temperature based on experience, but you can use its programs as a guide for temperature and times until you figure out what you like. It is fine in all aspects, good quality materials, Greek representation, it does what it promises, just consider if you want it for 3+ people.
Personally, I do not use reusable silicone "trays" for meat or seafood because although they do not dirty the airfryer, the food is cooked in its own fat or liquids and it loses the purpose of healthy cooking. I prefer to get it dirty and clean it. Also, it is pointless to use paper or silicone for seafood because the basket will smell anyway and it will need to be washed.
A very good Greek website for recipes, information, etc. is www.AirFrying.gr.
PS: I always say it: Read the user manual. Pay attention to the placement of the grill, which is necessary, there is an arrow on the basket and on the back side of the grill that indicates the correct position.
PS2: Do not ask if it can fit a whole chicken or 28 steaks, that's why I mention the dimensions of the basket.
PS3: I cannot understand what the first and last symbol of the automatic programs indicate. And I will probably remain with the question.
PS4: For a newcomer to airfryers who wants to cook for 2 people, the Xiaomi is much better, as it has Wi-Fi and over 99 regular recipes in the app.
I got it on sale with coupons for €29.90, that's why I decided to buy it. It's small for a family but perfect for two people. Easy to clean, but I always use silicone or non-stick baking sheets.
I've had a mini oven for many years, but it doesn't compare in capacity. However, fried potatoes, chicken nuggets, etc. are infinitely better with the air fryer, even frozen cheese pies.
They also cook faster.
If you want to replace your frying pan, get an air fryer. If you want to bake or reheat food, get a mini oven
For the money, it is excellent. In the little time we have had it, we have tried potatoes, pork chops, cheese pies, chips, and even easy desserts (there are endless recipes). It is also very good at reheating food instead of using a microwave. The basket for 2 people is okay.
I have bought this two weeks ago and I can say that it cooks chicken schnitzel and burgers very nicely, even frozen ones. The only downside I consider is the cooking time, especially for potatoes. It needs at least five minutes more than the programmed time to cook well, and definitely for all foods, halfway through the program, you always have to open and turn the food to cook evenly. Overall, I am quite satisfied. It has many programs, it is relatively quiet, and it is very easy to clean. It is good not to fill the basket with excessive food because it will take a long time to cook, the air is not distributed evenly, and half of the potatoes come out uncooked. Two to three whole cut potatoes are ideal for this. I also bought a potato cutter to have them all evenly cut and cooked better.
I have it for a week and it is very easy to use! I baked fresh potatoes without any oil and they didn't taste fried at all, unlike the frozen ones that turned out super crispy! I baked stuffed Gordon blue and fit 4 inside, and with just one flip, they became juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, as if I had bought them from outside... The same goes for chicken nuggets... it made them taste like they were grilled on a plate, and finally, I tried to bake lamb and it took 40 minutes and the result was like from the oven! It is definitely worth the money and more!
I have cooked three times. Once schnitzel, once chicken nuggets, and the third time french fries. Overall, I was very satisfied, it makes them very crispy and juicy. The potatoes I cooked didn't turn out as good, but I'm trying to figure it out with the cooking time for different foods. From the specifications, make sure to calculate a little more time to be sure, the capacity of the basket is satisfactory for meals for 1 to 2 people. It cleans very easily and for cooking, I use single-use non-stick sprays. Overall, I am satisfied with it and I recommend it.
I don't know if it's the model or the brand, but I would never buy izzy again!
