Midea MAF20P0BPK review

The smallest air fryer on this site, and the one whose controls are two dials rather than a screen. Midea publishes 2 liters, 1,150 W and a range of 80 to 200 °C (176 to 392 °F) with a timer to 60 minutes; the basket and the removable crisper plate are non-stick and declared dishwasher-safe.

The net of it The honest entry point. At a third of the price of the Ninja it does one thing — reheat and crisp a single portion — and Midea publishes the three figures that decide whether it does it: 1,150 W, 80–200 °C (176 to 392 °F), 60 minutes. What it does not publish is its external size, which matters more here than on any other model in this family, because the whole argument for a 2-liter drawer is the space it saves.

What Midea publishes

Three figures, and they are the three that matter on a small air fryer: 1,150 W, a temperature range of 80 to 200 °C, and a timer that runs to 60 minutes. The 80 °C (176 °F) floor is the lowest published minimum of the four air fryers on this site — the Russell Hobbs goes lower still at 40 °C (104 °F), and Philips publishes no minimum at all for the 2000 Series.

Capacity is stated as 2 liters. That is the volume of the drawer to its rim, not the area food can lie on, and Midea does not publish the basket’s own dimensions. On a drawer this size the difference is the whole question, so it is worth saying plainly: we do not know the flat area, and neither does anyone reading the listing.

The controls

Two dials. One sets the temperature, one sets the time, and the machine starts when the timer is turned. There is no screen, no preset and no memory — which means a setting that worked cannot be recalled exactly, only approximated by eye. Against that, there is nothing to navigate and nothing that can lose its settings.

Cleaning

Midea declares the basket and the removable crisper plate non-stick and dishwasher-safe. Both come out of the body, which is what makes the difference between a machine that gets cleaned and one that does not.

What is not published

The external dimensions. For a 2-liter model bought specifically to save countertop space, that is the figure a buyer most needs and the one the listing does not give. Air fryers also exhaust upward and manufacturers publish a minimum clearance above the unit — check the manual that ships with yours before deciding where it will live.

The plus side, and the minus

Strengths

  • Two mechanical dials — temperature and time — with nothing to learn and nothing to fail
  • Lowest published setting of the four here: 80 °C (176 °F), against 40 °C (104 °F) on the Russell Hobbs and no published minimum on the Philips
  • Basket and crisper plate both declared dishwasher-safe by Midea
  • The smallest footprint of any air fryer on this site

Compromises

  • 2 liters is a single-portion drawer: the usable flat area is a fraction of the 8.3-liter Russell Hobbs
  • No presets and no display — the timer is a dial, so a setting cannot be repeated exactly
  • Midea does not publish an external dimension for this model
  • No offer on Amazon UK at the time of writing, and none on Amazon US

What readers want to know

How many portions does a 2-liter air fryer hold?

Midea describes it as suited to small households and does not publish a portion figure or a basket dimension. The liter count is the whole drawer to the rim; what decides even cooking is the flat area food can sit on in a single layer, and that figure is not published for this model.

Can the basket go in the dishwasher?

Midea states that the supplied basket and the removable crisper plate are non-stick and dishwasher-safe. That is the manufacturer’s own declaration, and the manual that ships with the unit is the authority for your specific model.
