I am amazed that this company has any kind of positive feedback whatsoever. This will be a continuing saga on the abysmal complete absence of any kind of help from Salton Appliances. To Be Continued

⭐☆☆☆☆ 1/5 — Looks nice, cooks poorly, not worth it

I bought the Salton Glass Basket Digital Air Fryer – 4.5L (AF2136) mainly because of the glass basket and viewing window — it looks like a safer, cleaner alternative to coated baskets. Unfortunately, the performance is very disappointing.

First problem: uneven cooking. The back overheats while the front stays undercooked. Fries need constant shaking every few minutes or they burn on one side and stay soggy on the other. Frozen foods are especially frustrating — you end up running multiple extra cycles just to finish cooking.

Second: the temperature accuracy is terrible. Even following recommended air-fryer settings, food either dries out or never crisps. It clearly does not reach or maintain the displayed temperature.

The presets are basically useless. Each one requires manual adjustment anyway, so the digital controls don’t add value — just more beeping and button pressing.

The viewing window fogs up almost immediately, defeating its purpose. After a few uses it also develops a baked-on film that’s hard to clean, even though the whole selling point of glass is supposed to be easy maintenance.

Another major issue is the weak airflow. Instead of air frying, it feels more like a small convection oven — slow and mediocre. Cooking takes significantly longer than most air fryers.

Finally, the unit runs very hot externally and the fan noise is loud and unpleasant.

Overall, this product focuses on aesthetics over performance. A nice idea, but poorly executed. For the price, there are far better air fryers that actually crisp food properly.

I would not recommend this model.

Don't bother with the kettles this company makes, they take forever to boil and I mean forever. You could walk to the corner store for a Coffee while you wait. If you want to leave a review on their website, you have to check a box saying that you want to receive their spam as well. Shameful.

EDIT: so I ordered a new kettle and had to put up with this one for three days while I wait and lo and behold it's already broken now, the power knob popped off. Spring loaded and won't go back after only 3 days - a 70 dollar kettle. Do yourself a favour and avoid this company, they have zero quality control.
