I tested the most expensive, luxurious, non-toxic air fryer (endorsed by Brooklyn Beckham) – and I'm sorry to say, it is worth every penny

Marketed as a high-tech air fryer and backed by a celebrity name, the Typhur Dome 2 air fryer makes big promises. With its giant capacity, record cooking times and ceramic coating (a huge perk for anyone after one of the best non-toxic air fryers), it’s designed to make everyday meals effortless. It sounds amazing, so what’s the snag? Well, it’ll set you back a whopping $450 on Amazon.

I was highly skeptical (and intrigued) to see if an air fryer could be worth such a high price tag. After testing for a few weeks, I have to admit: the Typhur Dome 2 air fryer is seriously impressive. The basket is uniquely wide, with enough space to make a traybake for the whole family. There’s no need to preheat, so you can go from fridge to plate in minutes. I popped in a full-sized pizza and it crisped to perfection in 8 minutes. You can also use an app to control the 10 cooking modes and get notifications on your phone when the food is ready.

I set out hoping to cross this one off the list and write it off as 'poor value for money', but instead, it’s earned a place in our top three best air fryers. Here's everything you need to know before you make the splurge.

First impressions

The futuristic, spaceship design is certainly a conversation starter. It is low and wide, but once I slotted the Typhur Dome 2 into a corner next to my cookbooks, it was pretty unassuming – almost cute. The long cable gave me flexibility in choosing a good spot for the air fryer to live, so it didn't have to stay front and center in my kitchen.

I loved the sleek touchscreen – it lights up as soon as you plug it in. Unlike other brands with confusing dials and knobs, the Typhur Dome 2 is simple and intuitive to use. The basket slides out smoothly and feels comfortable to handle, and the materials overall feel high-quality.

Cooking performance

I've tested tons of air fryers, and the cooking performance on the Typhur Dome 2 really blew me away. It has 15 modes, including: Air Fry, Toast, Grill, Bake, Griddle, Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, and Reheat. There's no preheating needed, and results are lightning fast and consistent. Here's what I cooked.

Test 1: Frozen fries

My first test for any air fryer is fries. I had some crinkle-cut ones in the freezer, so I tipped them into the basket and got started. The Typhur Dome 2 has a dedicated 'Fries' preset, so I simply tapped that on the touchscreen and it began whirring.

It was quiet and the digital timer gave me a clear countdown, which made the process feel easy and controlled. I shook the basket twice – standard procedure for carbs and veggies in air fryers – and within 15 minutes, I had perfectly golden fries with fluffy interiors. That’s impressively fast for such a large batch. It’s right up there with the best Ninja air fryers, which are famous for their speed.

Test two: Roasted fish & vegetables

Next, I tried a traybake dinner for two. I added cubes of new potatoes, peppers and red onion and cooked them for around eight minutes. Then, I added my tomatoes, green beans and hake fillets to cook for another eight minutes. The fish turned out tender, and thanks to the wide basket, the veg had space to crisp evenly – I definitely could have made a portion for four or five without sacrificing the quality. Plus, 16 minutes is a record time.

Test three: Pizza

If you're a frequent pizza eater (we are in my household), you will know the struggle of waiting for the oven to heat up and the somewhat disappointing texture that a traditional oven can deliver.

I tested two pizzas in the Typhur Dome 2, and both were ready quickly and came out crispy. The first was a store-bought, ready-made pizza. I unwrapped the packaging, placed it straight into the basket, and eight minutes later it was golden and fully cooked – if anything, slightly too golden.

The second was homemade: fresh dough topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, red onions, and chorizo. This one was even more impressive. After a short preheat, the pizza was ready in 15 minutes. It was gooey and golden (sorry, no pictures, I ate it too quickly). It was almost as well-cooked as with the best indoor pizza ovens I've tried.

Test four: Toasting bagels

One afternoon while working from home, I decided to throw together a quick lunch. I placed two slices of seeded bagel into the Typhur Dome 2’s tray – though I easily could have fit six slices with room to spare. I took a photo below to show you the scale.

I selected the ‘Toast’ preset, and the air fryer took care of the temperature and timing automatically. Back at my desk, mid-email, I nearly forgot about it until a soft 'ding' and app notification on my phone sent me back into the kitchen. The bagel slices were crisped to perfection, crunchy and golden. The Typhur Dome 2 easily holds its own against the best toaster ovens I’ve tested.

Is it easy to clean?

The only real snag I noted in my tests (aside from the price, obviously) was the cleaning. The basket and crisper plate are technically dishwasher-safe, but you have to have a big dishwasher to fit them in. I live in a city apartment, so I struggled to fit it in my tiny machine. I then struggled at my small sink, gently scrubbing the plate with a soft sponge and trying to avoid splattering my counters with water and soap. Thankfully, the ceramic coating is non-stick, so food residue slid of easily and it was all over pretty quickly.

There is also a 'deep clean' function, which takes two hours, and I'm not quite sure what it does. I tried it, but I didn't notice a sparkling difference, so I think this feature may be a gimmick.

What do customer reviews say?

With an average 4.7 stars on Amazon.com, customers are happy with their investment. Many reviews shared pictures of well-cooked steaks and roasted poblano peppers, praising the cooking performance. They also noted that it is very quiet, fast and user-friendly.

Just as I suspected, the size was a bugbear for some people. Some people loved the wide, spacious design – others found it hogged their counterspace and struggled to clean the large plate and basket.

How does it compare?

Well, for starters, it's much more expensive than any other air fryer I've tested. The only thing that comes close is the Dreo ChefMaker, which retails at $350, but is often on sale for less. The Dreo is also very smart and user-friendly, with WiFi connectivity, special chef modes and moisture technology which creates tender, juicy steaks and seafood at the touch of a button. However, it is a lot smaller than the Typhur, so you're not getting that extra real estate inside the basket. It is worth paying extra for the Typhur if you have a lot of mouths to feed.

When I compared the Typhur Dome 2 to our best air fryer 2025, the Ninja Air Fryer Pro, the cooking results were fairly similar. If anything, the Ninja makes slightly crispier fries and vegetables. The Ninja Pro is priced around $100-120 at Ninja Kitchen. It is similarly easy to use, preheats instantly, and is also PFAS-free. I recommend it as the best air fryer for most people.

However, the Typhur Dome 2 is a couple of minutes quicker at cooking, much larger and capable of cooking pizza. It also has WiFi connectivity and more functions, like toasting, grilling, roasting and baking. If you have a large family to feed, you want smart features and you love versatility, the Typhur is better. If you need simple, small and good value, go for the Ninja Pro.

Should you buy it?

If you can afford it, then absolutely yes. The Typhur Dome 2 is the priciest model I've ever tested, so I was predisposed to be critical. However, it is also the quickest, most spacious, and easiest to use air fryer I've tried. Really, you're getting a high-performance, non-toxic appliance that could replace an oven, toaster, pizza oven and grill. It feels good quality, and I'm pretty sure it will last a long time in your kitchen.

All-in-all, I think it is a great choice for families or anyone who wants to cook a full, balanced meal in the air fryer. If you’re the kind of cook who loves a quick pizza, or tossing together a protein, some roast potatoes and a rainbow of veggies on a tray, and having it all done in 15 minutes from start to finish, this air fryer is made for you.

How we test air fryers

To test the best air fryers on the market, I focus on exceptional cooking performance. As a trained cook and kitchen appliances editor, I rigorously test each model by air-frying frozen French fries, chicken wings, and roasted vegetables. During our taste tests, we seek food that’s perfectly crispy on the outside and tender within. Our team has already tested the market leaders, so we know the industry benchmarks.

Ease of use is the best part of air frying, so my tests also evaluate the intuitiveness of the controls, basket design, instruction booklet and the accuracy of recipe presets. I also make sure to explore any special features, like grilling and dehydrating, to assess the versatility. While I'm cooking, I make notes on capacity – essential knowledge if you're looking for a family-sized air fryer.

Cleaning up can be a hassle, so I check if the removable parts are easy to wash, whether by hand or in the dishwasher. I also examine for non-toxic materials and durability. After testing, I scour the web for the best and worst customer reviews to assess the air fryer's reliability and overall customer satisfaction.

Finally, when you're making a kitchen investment, price really matters, so we weighed up the grill's features and performance to see if it offers good value for money. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure you choose an air fryer that looks stylish in your kitchen, as well as being reliable, efficient, and a joy to use.
