Russell Hobbs
A long-established UK small-appliance brand whose SatisFry range includes multicookers with a genuine air-fry mode. AirfryerHQ has no affiliation with the company.
AirfryerHQ is an independent information site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any appliance manufacturer. Product and brand names are used descriptively to identify appliances readers own, and belong to their respective owners.
About the company
Russell Hobbs matters here out of proportion to its air-fryer market share, because its SatisFry multicooker is the clearest published example of an appliance that air-fries without being an air fryer — which is the distinction the whole product is built on. Its manual is also one of the few we have read that states a preheat requirement PER MODE rather than per appliance.

Finding your manual
Manuals are published on the manufacturer's own site and by the retailers that sell the products. The mode table near the front gives default and range for both temperature and time, which is unusually complete.
AirfryerHQ does not host or reproduce manufacturer documentation, and does not link to support pages whose addresses we have not confirmed. A broken confident link is worse than an accurate instruction.
How these models differ
3 models are held, across 3 kinds of machine. Each row is what that model’s own manual or specification prints, so a blank is the manufacturer’s silence and not a zero. The last two columns are the ones that differ most between siblings: settings one model has and the others do not, and what each manual says may go in a dishwasher.
