Proscenic T21 Smart Air Fryer
Alexa compatibility and smart features at a mid-range price. Is voice-controlled air frying useful?
Voice Commanded Cooking
The Proscenic T21 leans heavily into the smart home ecosystem. It connects to Wi-Fi and integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This means you can literally say, 'Alexa, turn on the air fryer to 400 degrees,' while you are prepping chicken across the kitchen.
While voice control might seem like a gimmick, it is surprisingly useful when your hands are covered in raw meat or batter and you need to preheat the machine. It also features a robust companion app that allows you to schedule cooking times and save custom recipes.
Solid Core Performance
Beyond the smart tech, the T21 is a very capable 5.8-quart air fryer. It utilizes a square basket that maximizes surface area, coated in a double-layer of Teflon-free non-stick material. The heating element is powerful and recovers heat quickly when you open the basket to shake the food.
- Pros: Excellent Alexa/Google Assistant integration, solid app with remote control, square basket design, Teflon-free coating.
- Cons: The touch panel on the machine itself is highly prone to fingerprint smudges, requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for setup.
- Best For: Smart home enthusiasts who want to integrate their kitchen appliances into their Alexa/Google ecosystem.
The machine also features a dedicated 'Keep Warm' button, which is surprisingly rare on mid-range air fryers. This allows you to hold your food at a safe, crispy temperature if the rest of your dinner isn't quite ready yet.
Final Verdict
If you love smart home technology, the Proscenic T21 delivers excellent app and voice integration without sacrificing core air frying performance.
