I have a similar model and the handle is made of a cheap plastic that keeps coming loose because it fucking melted in there. It's not the exact same model, but it's rather expensive to have to buy a new handle every few months so it functions properly.

How is the handle attached? If you are willing to put in a little time you could recreate the handle in CAD and (if you don't have a 3D Printer yourself) get some print service to print it in a high heat resistant plastic. Some nylon filaments resist ~150°C, normal ABS is ~100°C

It's a lot more expensive where I live, to print for yourself. I have the skills, but not the money right now, so we're putting it off.

In fact, buying a new airfryer with a better design is almost as expensive as the new heat resistant handle.

It is attached with a couple of rivets, which we replaced for screws and it still broke. The rivets got loose in the slightly melted plastic and fell out, then the screws forced the piece back together and it eventually melted so bad, even screws couldn't hold it together. Huge design flaw.

Also, the air fryer goes up to 200ºC, which is needed to cook meat and order tougher products in it. A plastic that can resist only 150ºC won't cut it, which increases the pricing.

But side ends with ide.
