Design and Build

Bear QSJ-A09K

The QSJ-A09K is Bear’s mid-range air fryer with a retro design — rounded edges, pastel colors (cream, mint green, pink), and a digital touch panel on top. It’s one of the best-looking air fryers in this price range. The 3.5L capacity serves 2-3 people — enough for 8 chicken wings or 2 servings of fries.

The non-stick basket has a ceramic coating and a removable divider for cooking two different foods simultaneously. The cooking tray is dishwasher safe.

Bear QZG-E15W5

The QZG-E15W5 is Bear’s large-capacity model. At 5L, it handles a whole chicken or 20 chicken wings. The double-layer basket allows cooking two types of food at once. The pull-out drawer mechanism is smooth with a safety auto-shutoff when opened.

Supor SF30FC749

The SF30FC749 is Supor’s oven-style air fryer — a glass-fronted box with multiple cooking trays rather than a basket. This allows you to see the food cooking and use multiple shelves simultaneously. The 4.5L capacity spreads across two cooking trays.

The Smart App connectivity provides access to 200+ recipes with one-touch cooking settings. The full-color touch display shows cooking progress with a countdown timer.

Performance

Bear’s air fryers cook evenly across the basket. The rapid air circulation design (Bear uses a 7-blade fan compared to most competitors’ 5-blade) results in crispier exteriors. French fries come out golden and crispy in 15 minutes at 180°C.

The Supor SF30FC749’s oven-style design cooks slightly less evenly than basket-style — the top tray cooks faster than the bottom. Rotation of trays mid-cooking is recommended for even results.

Temperature accuracy is good: Bear stays within ±5°C of the set temperature. Supor’s smart presets are useful for beginners — the “frozen fries” preset is spot-on.

“小熊这款外观太可爱了，奶油白放在厨房颜值拉满。3.5L两个人够用，鸡翅12分钟外焦里嫩。清洗也方便，内胆不粘涂层一擦就干净。299入手觉得物超所值。” — JD.com 魏** ★★★★★* “This Bear model is adorable — cream white looks great in the kitchen. 3.5L is enough for two people. Chicken wings in 12 minutes — crispy outside, tender inside. Easy to clean — non-stick coating wipes clean. ¥299 feels like great value.”

“苏泊尔的烤箱式空气炸锅视野好，可以看着食物变色。App上的食谱很丰富，一键设置烹饪参数省心很多。但4.5L烤箱式实际容量不如5L抽屉式的，两层一起烤效果不如分开烤。” — 小红书 厨房小白逆袭 *“Supor’s oven-style fryer has great visibility — you can watch the food brown. App recipes are rich — one-touch cooking settings are convenient. But the 4.5L oven-style capacity is less practical than 5L drawer-style — cooking both levels simultaneously isn’t as effective as separate baking.”

What Chinese Users Say

Aggregated Ratings: 4.4/5 ★ (250,000+ reviews, 97% positive)

Quote 1 — 许* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Bear QSJ-A09K)** “用了半年，基本每周用三次。炸薯条、鸡翅、红薯、蔬菜都试过，效果很好。唯一要注意的是容量不大，3人以上的家庭建议买更大容量的。” 💡 “Used for 6 months, about 3 times per week. Tried fries, chicken wings, sweet potatoes, vegetables — all good results. Only thing to note: capacity isn’t large. For families of 3+, go for the bigger model.”

Quote 2 — 傅* ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Supor SF30FC749)** “烤箱式的好处是可以烤整条鱼和大块的肉，抽屉式的放不下。App菜谱好用，但连接有时不稳定。内腔不锈钢好清洁。” 💡 “Oven-style advantage — can cook whole fish and large meat cuts that wouldn’t fit in a drawer. App recipes are useful but connection is occasionally unstable. Stainless steel interior is easy to clean.”

Quote 3 — 袁* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Bear QZG-E15W5)** “5L大容量很满意，一家四口够用。双层篮子设计可以同时烤鸡翅和薯条。噪音控制也还行，比老式的小很多。推荐买大容量的，小容量买了会后悔。” 💡 “Very satisfied with the 5L capacity — enough for a family of four. Double-layer basket allows simultaneous chicken wings and fries. Noise level is acceptable — much quieter than older models. Recommend going large — you’ll regret buying a small one.”

FAQ

Q1: Bear vs Supor — which is better for air fryers?

Bear is better for value and design — their budget-friendly models deliver consistent cooking results in attractive packages. Supor is better for smart features and larger cooking flexibility — the oven-style model offers more versatility. Choose Bear for everyday air frying; choose Supor if you want smart features and multi-rack cooking.

Q2: Do air fryers consume a lot of electricity?

At 1,300-1,500W, air fryers are similar to a microwave. A typical 15-20 minute cooking session uses about 0.4-0.5 kWh (¥0.3-0.5 at Chinese electricity rates). This is less than a conventional oven (2,000+W, 30+ minutes). Air fryers are actually one of the more energy-efficient electric cooking methods.

Q3: Can I use aluminum foil or baking paper in an air fryer?

Yes, but with caution. Perforated silicone mats work best — they allow oil to drip through. Baking paper should be weighted down by food (not empty) to prevent it from touching the heating element. Never use regular plastic wrap or non-oven-safe paper.

Q4: How do I clean the non-stick basket?

Wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge after each use. For stubborn residue, soak for 10 minutes. The basket coating is PFOA-free but can be scratched by metal utensils — use silicone tongs. Dishwasher safe on most models (check manual).

Q5: What’s the best temperature for common foods?

Frozen fries: 180°C / 15min. Chicken wings: 200°C / 12min. Steak (medium): 200°C / 8min. Vegetables: 180°C / 10min. Fish fillets: 180°C / 12min. Always preheat for 3 minutes for best results.

Who Should Buy / Who Should Skip

✅ Buy Bear: You want an attractive, affordable air fryer for 1-3 people. The QSJ-A09K is one of the best value air fryers available.
