My first thoughts on Bella's super slim, Fits-anywhere™ collection

If you're a food lover like me, your kitchen cabinets might be stuffed to the brim with whisks, blenders and scales – and your counters stacked with back-to-back toasters and air fryers.

Bella, the latest kitchenware brand from the creators of Beautiful by Drew Barrymore, promises to change all that with an almost invisible set of appliances.

The Fits-anywhere™ collection is designed to be slimmer, more streamlined and adaptable than traditionally bulky appliances. The range stars a super-slim air fryer, as well as a foldable griddle, waffle maker, toaster, blender, and coffee maker.

It seems like Bella have thought of everything; the entire collection uses non-toxic ceramic non-stick and it's very affordable at Amazon, too.

To me, the jewel in this collection is the Bella 4QT Slim Air Fryer, available at Amazon. It's not much taller than a cookbook, slotting easily into shelves or cabinets when not in use. Our expert testers were really impressed by the Beautiful Air Fryer, produced by the same parent company, so this bodes well.

The matte design is available in a range of colors, including Oatmilk and Plum. The simple control panel, soft glowing indicator lights and rounded edges are so aesthetically pleasing.

Bella says their new air fryer doesn't need to preheat and you can fit 3.3lbs of fries, veggies or chicken tenders into the long basket. Four quarts is a good size for couples or individuals, with a compact price of $49.99 to match.

Design expertise in your inbox – from inspiring decorating ideas and beautiful celebrity homes to practical gardening advice and shopping round-ups.

I'm equally obsessed with the tiny toaster, which isn't much wider than a cookbook. I have a chunky toaster that I don't have counter space for, so I constantly unload and re-load from my cupboard every time I make toast. I've added this minimalist version on my wishlist.

A masterclass in non-toxic cookware, the entire collection uses EverGood™ Ceramic Nonstick Coating, free from harmful chemicals like PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, and cadmium. This means you can enjoy all the benefits of air frying – crispy, delicious meals with less oil – while cooking on a surface that’s safer for your family and the environment.

It's already raking in some good reviews on Amazon, with one customer noting: 'I spent three nights searching for a truly non-toxic air fryer, and after a lot of research, I finally found this gem. I was a bit skeptical at first since it just came out and had no reviews, but it’s incredibly hard to find an air fryer that's purely ceramic without any BPA concerns. Since my very first air fryer was made by Bella, I decided to take a chance on this one – and I'm so glad I did!'

I can’t wait to put it to the test myself and see if it can hold its own against the top contenders in our best non-toxic air fryer guide. Expect a full review soon.

Whether you're longing for a clutter-free countertop or seeking a fully non-toxic set of appliances, this launch could really revolutionize your kitchen. Here are my top picks (we're just waiting to test them). The range is now available at major retailers including Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Macy’s.

Designed with the space-conscious cook in mind, this toaster is super slender. There's a cute crumb tray and multiple browning settings. With a minimalist shape and rounded edges, it could fit on even the smallest countertops.

A convenient kitchen essential. This ultra-modern air fryer features EverGood Ceramic Nonstick Coating for easy cleanup and healthier cooking. There are adjustable temperature controls and six preset cooking options to make meal prep a breeze.

This griddle folds up and stores neatly into kitchen cabinets or shelving. With two temperature zones that reach up to 400°F, you can cook multiple dishes simultaneously. It looks perfect for family breakfasts or meal prep.
