Review
AI summary based on real user insights
The Typhur Dome 2 earns its strongest praise for its dual top and bottom heating elements, which users say set it apart from conventional air fryers. Fans describe chicken thighs coming out super crispy with juicy meat, while others note food cooks a few minutes faster with a bit of sear. The self-cleaning feature is repeatedly called out as a genuine convenience, with one user going so far as to say it alone is worth the purchase.
Pizza is where the Dome 2 consistently shines, with multiple users reporting it cooks a frozen 12-inch pizza perfectly thanks to its wide, flat basket and bottom heat element. Fries also get high marks, with users noting nothing beats fries in this and results coming out reliably crispy. One user summed it up as in a league of its own among air fryers they've tried.
That said, the Dome 2 comes with meaningful caveats. The shallow basket depth limits what it can handle, preventing things like cooking a whole chicken. The powerful convection fan can blow toppings off pizza and send lighter foods flying. Sticking is also a recurring issue, with users reporting nonstick performance that doesn't match expectations and food that's hard to clean off the tray. Some users also experienced excessive smoke that triggered smoke alarms, and the self-clean cycle has been known to leave black tar-like residue behind.
The app experience is mixed. While Typhur's customer support receives praise for offering replacements and free parts without hesitation, the app itself has drawn complaints — including only allowing one user to have app access at a time, and instances of the app dropping out mid-cook. One user also flagged that recipes don't always prompt you to flip food, which can affect results.
At $499 regular price, the Dome 2 is a significant investment that divides opinion. Its large footprint is a real consideration for anyone with limited counter space. The Dome 2 is best suited for users who regularly cook pizzas, fries, or batch meals and want the convenience of dual heating and self-cleaning — those looking for a compact, budget-friendly air fryer will likely find it hard to justify the cost.
