If I’m being completely honest, it’s rare these days that I actually turn my oven on. Slightly controversial, I know — but once you start using an air fryer regularly, it’s hard to go back. Anything that would normally be destined for the oven, from frozen snacks to quick weeknight dinners, usually ends up crispier, faster and far more convenient when it’s air fried.
Of course, there are still exceptions. If I’m cooking something bigger — a full tray bake, a roast in my cast iron or a meal for a crowd — the oven still gets its moment. But for most everyday cooking, especially those heat-and-eat style foods we all rely on after a long day, the air fryer wins every time.
So when I heard about the Kleva Spin Crisp, I was immediately intrigued. Unlike standard air fryers that require you to pause halfway through cooking to shake the basket, this one uses a rotating drum to keep food moving while it cooks — promising evenly crisp results without the extra effort.
Naturally, I had to see if it lived up to the hype. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Kleva Spin Crisp to the test to find out whether it’s actually worth the bench space — or just another kitchen gadget.

How to use the Kleva Spin Crisp
Getting started with the Spin Crisp was refreshingly simple. After plugging it in and giving the accessories a quick wash, it was pretty much ready to go.
The digital panel is straightforward to navigate — you select your cooking function, adjust the temperature and timer, and press start. The real difference compared to other air fryers is the rotating drum basket. Instead of placing food in a flat tray, you load it into the drum, secure it in place, and the fryer rotates it slowly while cooking.
I found this especially useful for things like chips and frozen snacks, where you’d normally have to stop halfway through to shake the basket. Here, the constant movement does the job for you, so everything crisps up evenly without any babysitting.
Another small but very handy feature is the viewing window and internal light. It sounds minor, but being able to check how your food is browning without opening the fryer actually makes a big difference.
Results from our test
After a few uses, the biggest thing I noticed was how evenly everything cooked. Chips came out crisp on all sides without any burnt edges or soggy bits, which can sometimes happen with standard air fryer baskets.
It was also incredibly quick. Like most air fryers, the Spin Crisp heats up much faster than a traditional oven, which made weeknight dinners feel a lot less like a chore. I could throw something in after work and have it ready in minutes.
One thing I really appreciated — and something that sets this fryer apart from a lot of others — is the stainless steel inner pot. A lot of air fryers rely on non-stick coatings that can start to peel over time, but the Spin Crisp avoids that entirely. The stainless steel design is toxin-free and PFOA-free, which gave me a bit more peace of mind when cooking regularly. It also feels much sturdier than typical coated baskets, and being dishwasher safe made clean-up even easier.
Cleaning overall was easier than expected. The drum basket and trays are removable and small enough to wash alongside regular dishes, and the interior just needed a quick wipe after cooking.
Overall, is the Kleva Spin Crisp worth it?
If you’re someone who already loves using an air fryer, the rotating drum design genuinely makes the Spin Crisp feel like an upgrade. Not having to stop and shake the basket mid-cook is a small detail, but it makes the whole process feel more hands-off.
For singles, couples or anyone who relies on quick weeknight meals, it’s a really convenient appliance to have on the bench. It heats quickly and cooks quickly and evenly.
The only real downsides here come down to size. If you’re regularly cooking big family meals, you’ll still need your full-sized oven. While the Spin Crisp is generously sized for an air fryer, it isn’t large enough to handle something like a full tray bake in one go.
At the same time, it’s also one of the larger and slightly bulkier air fryers I’ve used. The rotating tilt function is fantastic for keeping food moving and helping excess oil drain away, but it does mean the appliance needs a bit more clearance while operating. In practical terms, that translates to taking up a fair amount of bench space, which might not be ideal if you’re working with a particularly small kitchen or apartment setup.
