Same owner reports the unit arrived with the lamp not working before any use, requiring a service replacement. Because the return window had passed, they could not return it. This is a quality-control failure at delivery.
What to check. Test the unit immediately on arrival, including the lamp and display, and keep the return window in mind before relying on service replacement.

The same AR2076-S owner reports the unit's interior lamp did not light before first use and required a service replacement, i.e. a dead-on-arrival electrical defect.
What to check. Check the inner light immediately on delivery. A lamp that never lights is a DOA electrical defect that requires a service swap; do this before the iade/return window closes, as the owner could not return the unit once that window passed.

Arzum's own manual (German version, AR2076-S/B/K) documents a sensor-fault protection mode: if the temperature sensor fails, the display shows an error code, the unit beeps 10 times, and the device or buttons stop working — the hardware no longer responds to button presses. This is the manufacturer's own acknowledgment of a failure mode that makes the unit unusable until serviced.
What to check. If the unit beeps 10 times and shows an error code, the temperature sensor has failed; this requires authorized service, not a user fix.

Şikayetvar's product page for the AR2076 aggregates user-reported disadvantages including 'Ekran-düğme sorunlu' (screen/button problematic) and 'Yavaş kızartma-pişirme' (slow frying/cooking). This is an aggregate tag rather than a single owner's verbatim account, so it is weaker evidence, but it aligns with the control-board failure pattern the pack tracks for Arzum.
What to check. Check the touch controls and display thoroughly during the return window; control-panel faults are among the reported issues.

Owner of the exact AR2076-S 7.5L model reports cakes and dough items come out with the top cooked but the bottom still raw dough at the recipe's stated temperature/time, while the same recipes work on other brands' fryers.
What to check. If you bake cakes or dough items, test a dense batter early in the return window. A bottom that stays raw while the top cooks is the reported symptom; return/exchange within the iade (return) period rather than waiting, since the owner found the return window had lapsed by the time they tried.

Owner complaint on Şikayetvar (March 2025) for the AR2076-S: cakes and dough items come out with a cooked top but raw bottom even when following Arzum's own recipes at the stated temperature and time. The owner contrasts with other brands' air fryers producing good results with the same recipes. Cost to buyer: wasted food and a device they describe as unusable for baking.
What to check. If baking is a primary use, verify performance early; the complaint suggests the unit's heat distribution is inadequate for dough/batter items.

Hepsiburada's AI-generated summary of 87 verified-purchase reviews notes some users were disappointed because the product arrived defective ('arızalı çıkması'). This corroborates the Şikayetvar DOA report. Note this is an aggregated summary, not a single owner's verbatim words, so it is weaker evidence.
What to check. Buy from a seller with a clear return policy and test the unit immediately on arrival.

Şikayetvar's aggregate disadvantage list includes 'Yavaş kızartma-pişirme' (slow frying/cooking). This is an aggregate tag, weaker than a single owner's account, and low severity — it affects convenience, not safety.
What to check. Expect longer cooking times than advertised if this pattern holds; budget extra time for meals.

Kriko reads a listing and tells you which of these apply to that exact product. It runs on your computer, needs no account and is free.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
