Customer Review

I was for some time in search of such a food processor for the low-fat preparation of fries & Co. acquaintances swear by different brand devices which are but partly twice as expensive as the Turbo VitAir of Klarstein. Now I have this model report some time in use and would you of my experience.

The VitAir Turbo appears as a successor model of the VitAir.

At first I was surprised by the enormous size. Klein is not this hot air fryer. I chose the green model, which also looks exactly like on the product images. The processing of the device is very good indeed. Everything looks solid and of high quality. The cover is partially made of glass, which allows the view from outside the food therein. In contrast to its predecessor, the control panel and LED display are clearly visible on the front. On the bottom side there are suckers. So the appliance is completely safe and non-slip on the work surface.

The package includes:

- Hot air fryer
- Inner pot
- Back cage
- Baking tray
- Back grid (wire frame)
- Chicken skewer
- German instructions

In the manual is also talk of a skewer rack under the scope of supply. This does not belong to the set and probably unfortunately missing in my package.

Disappointing I found the instructions. Which, although kept in good German and shows different pictures, but unfortunately it is far too short. Missing Recipes, there is a lack preparation recommendations, it lacks times and there are no tips. Basically, the instructions say not even in it, which can be cooked in the appliance and what is not. The functions will be described in short supply and it left open many questions. Of note, no longer as 5kg food fill uses because not much if I do not even know how much chips may in the basket or how hard must be a chicken.

Before the first start, the device should of course be cleaned. There are again no information about the initial cleaning. I have the loose parts cleaned with water and washing up liquid, which wiped appliance interior well and let the part a 10 minute drive to run empty. The new smells really were limited.

The first real attempt, I started with a handful of frozen fries. I took no oil, because frozen fries are vorfritiert anyway. For French you need to baking cage. The whole is inserted into the hot air fryer at two convenient locations. At the VitAir the FRIES function is selected. The program displays the temperature of 230 ° C and the duration of 25 minutes. If the lid is closed, the unit is running on. Unlike the oven, the hot air fryer requires no lead time, the heat is almost immediately fully there. The baking cage rotates inside. The remaining time is always displayed in minutes. If the program is through, it will automatically stop and beep briefly. Now, the cage can be pulled out with pliers. The fries were nicely browned and crispy on all sides. Interior a bit soft, crisp on the outside, perfect fit. They taste just like fries from the oven.

The next day I started the French experiment with a larger serving. I filled the basket about half, maybe a little beyond, with approximately 500-600g fries. Lo and behold! The preset program FRIES with its 25 minutes it was not long enough. The fries were not golden. Manually I realized after 10 minutes, which then also sufficient. Note: Half a Basket fries need already times 35 minutes!

Somewhat unsure of how the now worked with the crickets, I dared then the next experiment: wrapped with bacon sausages and potato bags. I put the grill plate and the things on top of it. I took this time the program ROAST and set the rotation function. 30 minutes were displayed. After 8 minutes, I turned the sausages and potatoes, which on top of brown have been nice, but underneath were hardly even below. Still 8 minutes and everything was perfect through. Tasted delicious, crispy, although both were together in the device.

That with the pizza you can forget. First, a commercially available frozen pizza on the diameter does not fit into the device and secondly, as already seen in the sausage, no heat coming from below. I tried the test with a small child and the extra-Pizza baking sheet. As expected, the dough was underneath tough and not quite through.

So I found myself out after a short time: The hot air fryer is actually nothing more than an oven, which works with top heat and turning skewers (and baking basket) allows. However, hot air fryer has to have the great advantage of not running ahead, she's right there with the heat!

With the hot air fryer can also be sometimes fast thaw bread or other food. The temperature can be set as well as the time manually. You have to try up only until it works, because it indeed is there any information to

Our child loves chicken nuggets. Again, the frozen version goes very well with the basket. Crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, so it should be.

When breaded something itself, which works with the cooking of course only if you would greases something previously. Otherwise it will not crisp in the machine. So it looks like even with homemade chips and roast potatoes. The fries or potato slices should be turned first into a bowl with a little oil. Ultimately makes the for the good taste, but it is far less than in the pan used.

Fat happens to be flavor carriers. The Klarstein VitAir turbomachinery you have the opportunity to cook relatively festtarm. Reference is made less fat, the food thus have a higher intrinsic flavor. Especially when you realize the chips because the chips so totally swim in a normal fryer in fat.

When meat loses juice or fat then collects on the bottom of the large pot which is always used. This large pot can be completely out lift for cleaning.

The big pot is the way great for soups. I have kept in food over a longer period warm.

In other reviews to the previous model is the talk that chicken does not splash so much. I can not quite confirm. Of course, the device is inside sprayed after the chicken cook. However, the VitAir can clean very well, because you are better off coming, as to all places in the oven.

If the lid is made during operation, then stops the heating. The program continues but once the lid is closed again. Every now and then the light on the device turns on automatically so that you can watch from the outside through the glass well.

The device is naturally hot, but the glass is not hotter than an oven door. The rest is more than warm. Unpleasant odors, there are depending on food of course. However, it has no way these nasty greasy smell that you know of current fryers. Therefore VitAir Turbo is the effect very pleasant.

From the volume ago the VitAir can be compared with a microwave.

Conclusion: The VitAir hot air fryer from Klarstein is cheap and serves the purpose. Who wants to do anyway just fries fact needs no brand anyway device. Bake and cook story revolves mostly faster than in the oven, and there is more energy efficient because is not preheated. The preparation is classified as low-fat in the fryer. Cleaning is easy to operate even when it has once taught myself. The manual is unfortunately completely flunked. With such a device it just takes a lot more notes on the operation and features. Therefore, a star deduction. Otherwise remains to say that we have the equipment several times a week in operation and are always coming up with new things that can easily be cooked so. In everyday life, the Turbo VitAir has done well. If me what stands out, I will update my review. I hope my experience could somehow help!
