Perferate 17.96QT Turbo Air Fryer

Manufacturer: Perferate

The Perferate 17.96QT Turbo Air Fryer is a basket-style unit built around a dual-basket configuration, offering a 17-litre total capacity that suits larger cooking tasks. It supports four preset functions — Bake, Roast, Air Fry, and Reheat — and includes a viewing window so food can be monitored without interrupting the cooking cycle. Shake reminders are also part of the feature set, helping to prompt the user at the right moment during cooking.

Operating at 1400W, the fryer covers a cooking temperature range from 32°C up to 250°C, providing a reasonably wide span for different recipes. The unit measures 330 mm wide, 153 mm deep, and 340 mm tall, with a total weight of 6677 g. Controls are not digital, and the design does not include features such as a preheat function, interior light, or smart home connectivity. The basket is not listed as dishwasher-safe, which is worth noting for cleaning considerations.

Pros
  • The dual-basket configuration and 17-litre capacity make it well-suited for cooking larger quantities in a single session
  • A built-in viewing window allows food to be checked during cooking without opening the basket
  • Shake reminders help prevent uneven cooking by prompting the user at the right time
  • Four preset functions — Bake, Roast, Air Fry, and Reheat — cover a practical range of everyday cooking tasks
  • The wide temperature range, from 32°C up to 250°C, provides flexibility for different cooking requirements
Cons
  • The basket is not dishwasher-safe, requiring manual cleaning after each use
  • No digital controls are included, which may make precise adjustments less convenient
  • There is no preheat function, which could affect cooking consistency for certain recipes
  • The absence of an interior light means it is harder to visually inspect food in low-light conditions
  • No smart home connectivity is supported, including Alexa and Google Assistant, limiting integration with connected home setups
  • Dual heating elements are not present, which may affect how evenly heat is distributed across the two baskets
Who is this for?

This air fryer is a good fit for households that regularly cook for larger groups, as its 17-litre dual-basket capacity allows sizeable portions to be prepared in one go. Users who cook a variety of meals will appreciate the four preset functions spanning baking, roasting, reheating, and air frying, along with the wide temperature range up to 250°C. The viewing window also makes it a practical choice for anyone who prefers to keep an eye on food without interrupting the cooking process.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritise easy maintenance may find this product less convenient, as the basket is not dishwasher-safe and requires manual cleaning each time. Those looking for more precise or tech-assisted cooking will be limited by the absence of digital controls and no preheat function, which can affect consistency with temperature-sensitive recipes. It is also not well-suited for users who rely on smart home integration, since there is no compatibility with Alexa, Google Assistant, or any smartphone remote control.

Final Verdict

The Perferate 17.96QT Turbo Air Fryer is a capacity-focused appliance built around its dual-basket, 17-litre design, making it a practical option for households that regularly prepare larger meals. Its broad temperature range and four cooking presets give it reasonable versatility for everyday use, and small touches like shake reminders and a viewing window reflect a degree of practical consideration in its design. That said, the lack of digital controls, no dishwasher-safe basket, and the absence of smart connectivity mean it suits a more straightforward, hands-on cooking style rather than a tech-integrated kitchen setup. For users whose priority is volume and cooking variety over advanced features, the Perferate 17.96QT represents a functional, no-frills choice that delivers on its core purpose.
