Summary
The Chefman TurboFry 6-Quart Digital Air Fryer (RJ38-SS-6T-V2) is a US 120 V basket air fryer with five presets, automatic shake reminders and a 450 F Hi-Fry boost for the final two minutes of cooking. No lab has published an instrumented test of this exact model, so the thing to weigh first is the wider TurboFry line’s mixed record on temperature accuracy.
Strengths
- Five presets plus a 450 F Hi-Fry boost cover the usual air-fry jobs.
- Automatic shake notifications save you from remembering mid-cook shakes.
- The nonstick basket is dishwasher-safe.
- Stainless-steel finish, sold direct by Chefman for $89.99.
- The related 8-quart model cooked fast (9.4/10 speed) and made juicy chicken in testing.
Weaknesses
- No independent lab has tested this exact model, so its own performance is unverified.
- The related 8-quart model ran 16.7 F below the set temperature in testing (3.5/10).
- That same test called the display small and hard to read.
- Its crisping tray was difficult to remove and collected oil in the corners.
- Chefman does not publish dimensions, weight or included accessories for this model.
- The nonstick coating material is not stated.

Full research notes and sources
What the tests cover
Chefman’s own page documents the model number, the 1500 W draw, the 6-quart basket, the 90-400 F range and the five presets, but it leaves out dimensions, weight and what comes in the box beyond the basket itself. No instrumented test of the exact RJ38-SS-6T-V2 exists from the outlets that normally publish them; RTINGS, Tom’s Guide and CNET have no review of this six-quart unit. The closest evidence is TechGearLab’s test of the related Chefman TurboFry Touch 8-quart, a different machine with a larger 7.57 L basket and 1700 W. Treat its results as brand-family signals, not measurements of this model.
Temperature accuracy and the presets
The number worth knowing from the related model: its actual temperature averaged 16.7 F below the display during TechGearLab’s test, which scored just 3.5/10 for accuracy. That machine still produced juicy chicken and crispy fries, and its exterior peaked at a safe 133 F, well under the 140 F threshold the lab uses. If the six-quart shares the same thermostat, expect to check doneness with a thermometer and to add time rather than trust the presets. Nobody has published a temperature test of this specific model.
Parts, dimensions and running costs
Nothing here needs filters or pods, so running costs are just electricity. Chefman sells the unit direct for $89.99, and the related 8-quart model had a $120 list price (TechGearLab). The basket is dishwasher-safe, and Chefman backs the unit with a one-year assurance and cETL approval. Because the manufacturer lists no dimensions or weight, measure your counter and cabinet before buying if space is tight.
Which model this is
This page covers the Chefman TurboFry 6-Quart Digital Air Fryer with touch controls, model RJ38-SS-6T-V2, a US 120 V / 1500 W machine. It is not the larger Chefman TurboFry Touch 8-quart, which has a bigger 7.57 L basket and 1700 W; the two share a brand and design language but not capacity or power.
Is it worth it?
At $89.99 direct you get 1500 W, five presets and a dishwasher-safe basket, but no independent test of this exact model. The related 8-quart variant was fast to cook and weak on accuracy. If verified temperature control matters, look at a model a lab has tested; if you want a simple, cheap basket fryer and will trust a thermometer, this one is reasonable.
