Review: Tasty Sensor Magic Smart Air Fryer


Over the last five years, I've tested and reviewed numerous air fryers. It's been fascinating to see how they have advanced and evolved. Today, I’m excited to test a new innovative air fryer: the Tasty Sensor Magic Smart Air Fryer. Tasty sent me their 5.5-quart air fryer, which operates at 1700 watts, for review. Full disclosure, they are sponsoring today’s video, but you know I’m always brutally honest with my reviews. I've turned down many sponsorships when unimpressed, but this air fryer is quite impressive.

Unboxing and Features

Upon unboxing, I washed the air fryer, gave it a dry run, and installed the app to connect it. This model is a 5.5-quart unit, with an 8.25-inch square basket that’s 4.5 inches deep. It features a removable tray with silicone edges and a multi-purpose tray. This tray is versatile, allowing you to toast wedges on the sides and cook something else in the middle or place it on top for closer proximity to the burner for a high char.

A standout feature is the built-in temperature probe, which tucks away neatly inside the air fryer. It also has a clear view window with a light-up button, allowing you to check on your food without opening the basket. The interface includes five different cooking modes, each with options to fine-tune your cooking experience for perfect results.

Testing French Fries

I started my tests with a classic: French fries. The air fryer’s French fry setting includes presets for different types and sizes of fries. I chose the 3/8-inch fries and set the browning level to 5. Using a 32 oz bag, I cooked about a pound of fries. The air fryer estimated 28 minutes, which was surprising since I usually cook fries for about 15 minutes. The air fryer uses different cooking stages, starting with a quieter, lower speed, then increasing as it cooks.

Smart Adjustments

Interestingly, the timer adjusts based on the weight and size of the fries, showcasing its smart technology. This air fryer cooks in stages—defrosting, cooking, lowering the temperature, and then browning the fries. To compare, I cooked another pound of fries in a traditional air fryer at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Taste Test

Upon completion, the fries from the Tasty air fryer looked golden. In a blind taste test, they were noted to be slightly more potatoey and fluffy inside compared to those from a traditional air fryer. The multi-stage cooking process seems to enhance the texture subtly.

Hot Dog Test

Next, I cooked hot dogs using the app, which provides various recipes. The air fryer’s app notified me when to add the buns for a final warm-up. The hot dogs turned out well, with a good temperature and texture.

Pork Chops Test

For the final test, I made smoked black pepper pork chops. The recipe called for a marinade of smoked paprika, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. I used the smart temperature probe, which has dual sensors for accurate readings. The app guided me through the process, including flipping the food and monitoring the internal temperature.

Final Thoughts

After using the Tasty Sensor Magic Smart Air Fryer for a few days, I can say it’s a high-quality air fryer with impressive features. The adjustable fan speed and built-in meat thermometer add convenience and precision. Though I haven’t tested the slow cook and dehydrate functions yet, the presets are user-friendly and well thought out.
