What we like about the Chefman Air Fryer 6-in-1, XL 14-Quart Multifunctional Air Fryer Oven

A flexible oven-style interior

The 14-quart cavity provides more arrangement options than a conventional pull-out basket. Food can be spread over the supplied wire racks, placed on the baking pan or mounted on the rotisserie spit. An oven-style design is useful for foods that benefit from remaining flat. Toasted sandwiches, open-topped dishes, fish fillets and baked items can be positioned without stacking them in a deep basket.

Three rack positions allow the cooking surface to be moved closer to or farther from the heating elements. This is useful when switching between air frying, baking and broiling. The nominal capacity should not be interpreted as 14 quarts of usable food space. Adequate gaps must remain around the food so hot air can circulate, and filling every part of the cavity can lead to slower or less even cooking.

This model has one shared cooking chamber. A family can cook a main item and side dish together when both require compatible temperatures and times, but it cannot independently air fry one food at 400°F while baking another at 325°F.

Five clearly defined cooking functions

Air Fry uses fast-moving heated air to brown foods such as chips, wings, vegetables and frozen snacks. A light coating of oil can improve the surface of fresh ingredients, while many prepared frozen foods require no additional oil.

Bake provides a more oven-like setting for cakes, biscuits, pastries and casseroles that fit the compact cavity. Chefman’s manual indicates that the Bake programme preheats before its programmed timer begins counting down. Broil places greater emphasis on high heat for browning the top of food. The rack and pan should be positioned carefully because items near the heating elements can colour quickly. Reheat is intended to restore warmth and some surface crispness to leftovers. It can produce better texture than a microwave for pizza, fried food and baked items, though it normally takes longer. Dry is Chefman’s dehydration function. Its low temperature and extended timer make it suitable for sliced fruit, herbs and properly prepared jerky.

These functions share the same heating system, so the labels represent optimised starting points rather than six physically different appliances. Time, temperature and rack position still need to be adjusted for the food being prepared.

Rotisserie cooking for smaller foods

The package includes a rotisserie shaft, forks, securing screws and a fetch tool. The Rotate control turns the spit during compatible Air Fry or Bake cycles. Continuous rotation exposes different sides of the food to the heating elements and circulating air. This can support more even browning while allowing juices and rendered fat to fall into the drip tray.

Chefman limits the rotisserie spit to four pounds. The manual indicates that a chicken weighing approximately three to three-and-a-half pounds is a practical fit. That capacity is suitable for a small whole chicken, tenderloin, compact cauliflower or peeled pineapple. It is not large enough for a substantial turkey or oversized roasting joint. The food must be centred and balanced so it can rotate without touching the racks, pan or oven walls. An uneven load may place unnecessary strain on the motor or fail to turn smoothly.

The included fetch tool helps lift the hot spit without requiring the user to grip its ends directly. Heat-resistant gloves and careful handling remain necessary because the spit, forks and nearby surfaces become extremely hot.

Hi-Fry adds a final burst of heat

Hi-Fry becomes available during the final two minutes of compatible cooking. Pressing it raises the temperature to 450°F until the programmed time ends. This can add colour and surface crispness to foods that appear cooked but insufficiently browned. It is particularly relevant to frozen snacks, chips, breaded food and poultry skin.

Because the setting lasts only two minutes, it is less likely to dry the centre of food than an extended high-temperature cycle. Users should still watch through the window because thin or sugary coatings can burn quickly. The product title and feature table may imply a general 450°F maximum setting. In practice, ordinary cycles top out at 400°F and Hi-Fry provides the brief 450°F finish.

Low-temperature dehydration

The Dry function operates between 90°F and 200°F and supports programmes lasting from 30 minutes to 24 hours. This is much broader than the short timer offered by many basic air fryers. Low-temperature airflow gradually removes moisture from thinly sliced ingredients. Fruit, herbs and jerky can therefore be prepared without purchasing a separate dehydrator.

Consistent slice thickness is important. Pieces of different sizes dry at different rates, so smaller items may need to be removed before the rest. Food-safety guidance is especially important when drying meat. Users should follow current official recommendations for preparation temperature, handling and storage rather than relying only on appearance.

Dehydration occupies the appliance for several hours and uses the single cavity throughout that period. Households that dehydrate frequently may still prefer a larger dedicated machine with more trays.

Touch controls with adjustable time and temperature

The capacitive control panel provides direct buttons for each cooking function. Time and temperature can then be adjusted using the plus and minus controls. A central display shows the selected settings, while separate Start, Stop and Power buttons make the operating sequence relatively clear. Temperature units can be switched between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

A Ready indicator communicates when the appliance has reached the relevant stage of the programme. A shake alert can remind the user to turn or move food for more even cooking. The sound control can mute the interface when audible beeps would be disruptive. This is helpful in open-plan homes or when cooking early in the morning.

Touch controls are easy to wipe because they lack protruding dials, although they may be less convenient when the user has wet or greasy fingers. The panel should be operated with clean, dry hands.

A window and internal light

The glass-fronted door provides a clear view of the cooking chamber. An internal light can illuminate food without requiring the door to be opened. This is particularly useful during baking, broiling and the Hi-Fry stage, when small changes in colour can indicate that the food is ready.

Opening the door pauses the timer, and closing it allows the cycle to continue. This makes it possible to check, rotate or rearrange food without cancelling the programme. Every door opening releases hot air and lowers the internal temperature. Frequent checking can extend cooking time, so the window is preferable when a visual inspection is sufficient. The glass and surrounding surfaces become hot during operation. The cool-touch handle provides the intended contact point, but children should still be kept away from the appliance.

Useful supplied accessories

Chefman includes three wire cooking racks, a baking sheet that also functions as a drip pan, the rotisserie assembly and a rotisserie fetch tool. The racks provide broad surfaces for air circulation around small foods. They are especially useful for dehydrating because slices can be distributed without overlapping.

The pan can catch crumbs, fat and marinades, reducing the amount of residue reaching the bottom of the oven. It can also hold foods that are unsuitable for an open wire rack. The rotisserie parts add a cooking method that is not normally available in a drawer-style fryer. Buyers do not need to purchase a separate spit before trying the feature. No conventional deep pull-out basket is included. Users who prefer shaking a single basket halfway through cooking may find an ordinary drawer fryer simpler.

A compact footprint relative to its capacity

The appliance measures approximately 13.2 inches deep, 13.9 inches wide and 14.5 inches high. It weighs around 13.2 pounds. Its footprint is manageable for an oven-style 14-quart machine, but adequate open space must remain around it for ventilation. Chefman’s manual calls for clearance from walls and nearby objects, with sufficient space above and around the appliance.

High power for rapid countertop cooking

The US model draws 1,700W at 120V. That level of power helps the compact cavity heat quickly and circulate sufficiently hot air for browning. Chefman states that the appliance does not require routine preheating for Air Fry operation, although Bake includes a preheating stage. Starting without a lengthy preheat can shorten the total time required for frozen and reheated foods.

Actual cooking times depend on food quantity, thickness, starting temperature and rack position. Manufacturer charts should be treated as starting points rather than guarantees. The air fryer should be connected to a suitable wall outlet and used according to the electrical safety instructions. Other high-power appliances on the same circuit may contribute to an overload.

This 120V model is intended for markets with the appropriate supply. It should not be purchased for use on UK 230V mains unless the buyer is obtaining the dedicated UK version rather than attempting to rely on a simple plug adapter.

One-year manufacturer assurance

Chefman provides a one-year assurance for the RJ38-RDO-14B when used according to the instructions. The appliance is also described as cETL approved for the North American market. Warranty terms normally require proof of purchase and apply to defects rather than misuse, accidental damage or normal wear. Registration details are provided in the manual.

Who should consider this Chefman air fryer deal?

The Chefman 14-Quart Multifunctional Air Fryer+ is best suited to households that want an air fryer with the layout of a compact countertop oven. Its racks, pan and viewing door make it more flexible than a basic basket for flat or layered foods. It is a good match for someone who regularly reheats pizza, bakes small portions, dehydrates ingredients or wants to rotisserie-cook a small chicken. The included accessories support those tasks without requiring several separate appliances.

Families may appreciate the broader cooking surface, particularly when preparing several portions of the same food. The three levels can increase capacity as long as users are willing to swap rack positions for even browning. It is less appropriate for anyone expecting three independent cooking zones. Every rack shares the same programme, temperature and timer, so foods with very different requirements cannot be cooked separately.

A dual-drawer air fryer is a better choice when two foods need independent temperatures or synchronised completion. A large single basket may also be easier for someone who mainly cooks one batch of chips or wings and wants to shake everything at once. The rotisserie is useful but relatively small. Buyers intending to roast large chickens or substantial cuts should consider a larger countertop oven.

People with limited counter space should measure carefully. The appliance needs ventilation clearance and enough space in front for the hinged door, so its practical footprint is larger than the cabinet dimensions alone suggest. The US RJ38-RDO-14B operates at 120V and should be purchased only for a compatible electrical supply. UK buyers need the dedicated UK version, which Chefman markets as a 13-litre model with the appropriate regional electrical specification.

Overall, the Chefman is most appealing as a multifunctional small oven that can also air fry effectively. Its strengths are versatility, accessories and vertical cooking space, while a conventional drawer model remains simpler for quick single-batch air frying.
