Key Features of the Dash Air Fryer

Here’s a rundown of this air fryer’s key features.

– Adjustable Temperature. Unlike the Vanaheim N42‘s touch-screen panel, this air fryer comes with knob controls. On top of the unit is a circular dial that you can use to adjust its temperature.

– Timer. At the front is another circular knob that lets you adjust the timer function, which you can set to up to 30 minutes.

– AirCrisp Technology. In combination with a rapid air circulation system, this feature enables you to “quickly crisp your ingredients while eliminating extra calories from added oil.”

– 1.2-Quart Capacity. Yup, the Dash air fryer is smaller than other brands, but as advertised, it can hold a dozen chicken wings or a pound of potatoes. It’s ideal for single and couple households.
