Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9870Positive

KitchenRecs · Anja K. · 10 days ago

We are four at home and this replaced a small Tefal that needed three rounds for one dinner. A big bag of frozen fries fits in one go and they come out crisp and even, the fries program is spot on. Chicken thighs I set by hand at 180 degrees and they are done sooner than in the oven, so I check early. What I don't love: it is loud. You hear the fan from the next room, and the end beep is so quiet that I miss it when I'm not in the kitchen. The fat separator under the mesh catches a lot of grease, nice idea, but after wings scrubbing it is the job nobody wants. Dishwasher works for the parts but they take up half the rack. It's also heavy and deep, and the cord is short so it has to live right by the socket. Five months in, used almost every day. Good machine, just not a quiet or tidy one.

KitchenRecs · Leanne · 10 days ago

We use it pretty much every day for the four of us. I love that I can see through the glass and stop things before they burn, and the containers go straight in the dishwasher. The 6 qt one did a whole chicken on roast with room to spare, and leftovers go in the fridge in the same dish with the lid on.

KitchenRecs · G. Walsh · 11 days ago

It's quiet, I'll give it that, you can hold a conversation next to it. The presets run way too long though. On the fries setting ours were burnt at the edges well before the timer finished, so now I set my own time and temp and check halfway. Basket goes in the dishwasher no problem. Two pork chops is about the limit before they're touching. The glossy top panel shows every fingerprint. OK for the money.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-QtMixed

KitchenRecs · Doreen · 11 days ago

Replaced a cheap little 2 quart with this one. Fries and wings come out properly crisp and for two people it's much quicker than heating the big oven. I like that it reminds you to turn the food halfway. The first few times it smelled like hot plastic. Ran it empty twice with the kitchen window open and that went away. My real complaint is the basket. About ten months in the nonstick has started coming off near the bottom even though I only wash it by hand, and the handle feels a little loose now.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

Reddit · r/airfryer · 36 days ago

Uses the Ninja Crispi with its heating element in the head unit; the glass dish, crisping tray and lid all go in the dishwasher, the head unit grill stays free of grease when wiped after each use, and nothing holds food smells the way their first air fryer did.

Typhur Dome 2Negative

Reddit · r/airfryer · 176 days ago

App exited the cooking screen five minutes into a steak recipe and the probe temperature started dropping while the display still showed active cooking. Restarting from scratch forced an eight-minute warm-up, so the steak had to be finished on a hot plate.

Ninja Double Stack XL SL400Positive

YouTube · Wunschgetreu - Reviews Made in Germany · 342 days ago

Stands 38 cm tall and 29 cm wide, so it clears standard upper kitchen cabinets without trouble. Wire racks let you cook four separate items at once on Double Stack Pro mode, and non-slip feet keep the base planted when sliding heavy baskets out. It's 48 cm deep, though, which eats up lots of counter depth, and the 80-cm power cord is pretty short.

Ninja DoubleStack XL SL401Positive

YouTube · Sprint Kitchen · 355 days ago

Stacks two 5-quart ceramic nonstick baskets vertically to fit 10 quarts of food without hogging counter width. Stainless steel riser racks let you layer four dishes at once, and Smart Finish syncs different cook settings so everything finishes hot at the same time. Cleanup doesn't take much effort since the removable crisper plates, racks, and drawers are all dishwasher safe. You do have to watch where you place it on the counter, though. The exhaust vents blow hot air out the right side rather than the back, so you'll need at least six inches of side clearance to avoid heat damage.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Jon Talks · 667 days ago

Got an 8-quart basket that fits a 6-lb whole chicken or a 9-inch pizza with room to spare. The included wireless thermometer tracks internal temperatures so you don't have to keep opening the drawer. Its ceramic coating holds up well, though the bulky 14-lb frame hogs counter depth and won't fit 12-inch pizzas.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Rhonda's Country Kitchen · 667 days ago

Fits a whole chicken comfortably inside the 8-quart ceramic basket without crowding the walls. A magnetic dock on the housing charges the five-sensor wireless probe, which holds a 50-hour battery life for tracking roasts. Once the meat hits your target internal temperature, the heater shuts off automatically so nothing overcooks. The probe needs 30 minutes of charging before first use, though, and you'll get a mild chemical smell during the initial burn-off.

Typhur Sync Air FryerPositive

YouTube · Empowered Cooks · 667 days ago

Pushes 1750 watts through a roomy 8-quart ceramic nonstick basket that fits family-sized cuts easily. Runs very quietly all the way up to 450 degrees with responsive touch controls. The synced wireless probe takes the guesswork out of thick proteins, though you'll notice a strong factory odor during the first high-heat dry run.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · Guide Nation · 667 days ago

Cooks wings and four slices of bread evenly across a wide flat basket using simultaneous top and bottom heating rings. You don't have to shake the drawer halfway through, and the mobile app lets you tweak preset temperatures and times easily. A built-in high-heat self-cleaning mode burns off stubborn grease splatters around the upper element. It's a bulky machine that hogs counter space, though, and the shallow clearance won't fit whole potatoes or thick steaks.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · Tom Horsman · 667 days ago

12-by-12-inch PFAS-free cooking surface, fits a full 12-inch pizza or a big batch of wings without stacking. Upper and lower heating elements brown food evenly so you don't have to flip anything mid-cook. Digital controls dial in up to 450 degrees fast, though the 2.5-inch vertical clearance can't handle tall roasts.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · NOOB'S KITCHEN · 667 days ago

Got a massive 12.5-inch flat square basket with dual heating elements, and it cooks frozen fries and chicken wings evenly without shaking. Runs much quieter than standard basket fryers even during high-heat crisping. Touch controls give you eight quick presets plus two dedicated self-cleaning modes to burn off baked-on grease. Still, the frame weighs nearly 20 lb and measures over 20 inches deep, so it's bulky and won't tuck into standard cupboards.

Typhur Dome 2Positive

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Got dual top and bottom burners that deliver full 360-degree heating for even browning without flipping. Runs quietly around 55 decibels even on the highest air fry setting. Connects via Wi-Fi to customize presets, though it requires a 2.4 GHz network and the default toast mode doesn't brown bread enough on one run.

Ninja Crispi Pro AS101Positive

YouTube · Meem Reviews & Tips · 667 days ago

Pushes strong downward convection airflow to turn out evenly browned meats and crispy roasted veggies. You get both a deep 6-quart glass container and a shallow 2.5-quart bowl fitted with ceramic-coated crisper plates. The modular heating frame adjusts height smoothly to seal over either bowl size. Sliding that heavy glass vessel into place can shove the whole frame backward on the counter though, so you'll need to brace the front bumper with one hand.

Ninja Crispi Pro AS101Positive

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Steps up capacity with a 5.7-liter glass bowl and a 2.3-liter dish while keeping a full view of your food as it crisps. High-velocity airflow browns food like a metal basket, and the thermal-resistant bowls include snap lids for the fridge. That fixed plastic base on the bowls doesn't come off though, trapping water during hand washing.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

YouTube · Barry Lewis · 667 days ago

Cooks meals right inside heavy glass bowls that go straight from the counter to the dinner table. Integrated heat-proof feet on the power pod protect kitchen surfaces between batches, and the dishwasher-safe bowls and lids make cleanup easy. The heating pod is pretty heavy and awkward to lug around though, so it's not really travel-friendly.

Ninja Crispi FN101Positive

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Fits up to 2 lb of chicken wings in the 4-quart glass bowl and cooks them crisp and evenly in about 30 minutes. Thermal-resistant borosilicate dishes go straight from freezer storage to high-heat air frying without cracking. You also get a smaller six-cup container that's great for toasted sandwiches and quick single-serve snacks. The display doesn't show actual temperature numbers though, leaving you with only preset mode names and a timer.

Ninja Crispi FN101Mixed

YouTube · Sprint Kitchen · 667 days ago

Reaches 450 degrees in seconds with a top heating pod that sits on thermal-shock-resistant glass bowls. Cooking inside thick borosilicate glass means you don't deal with peeling nonstick baskets while still browning frozen sides fast. The silicone feet on the crisper plates are fragile though, and they can tear off after repeated washes.

Ninja Crispi DualZone DD101Positive

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Got a spring-loaded heating frame that seals tightly over both 3.8-liter glass bowls so aromas never mix between zones. Independent controls let you bake in one dish while roasting in the other, and the clear glass gives a full view of browning. Cleanup is easy since the bowls go straight into the dishwasher. Those thick glass vessels are heavy to lift though, and the US version can't run both sides at maximum power at the same time.

Ninja Crispi DualZone DD101Positive

YouTube · Stizz🐝 · 667 days ago

Clear 4-quart borosilicate glass bowls let you watch food brown without opening drawers and losing heat. Heat-safe rubber feet let the vessels sit right on the counter, and they go straight into the dishwasher without nonstick coating worries. At 30 lb though, it's super heavy and awkward to move across the kitchen.

Ninja Air Fryer AF101Mixed

YouTube · Poolarity - Life Hacks · 667 days ago

Fits easily on crowded countertops with a compact footprint and a 4.5-inch deep basket. Digital controls run from 105 up to 400 degrees for simple weeknight cooking, and the slick ceramic nonstick interior wipes down quickly without stubborn residue. That narrow, deep round shape has a real downside though. You're forced to stack food vertically instead of spreading it in a single layer, so batches won't brown evenly unless you shake the basket often.

Ninja Air Fryer AF101Positive

YouTube · Just A Dad Approved · 667 days ago

Crisps frozen tater tots and fish fillets evenly in under ten minutes inside its 8.25-inch nonstick basket. The fan runs fairly quietly, and physical buttons make setting cook times effortless. You'll need to pull it away from the wall though, because the rear vent blasts hot exhaust air that can damage backsplashes.

Typhur DomePositive

YouTube · Bob Diff · 667 days ago

Got a pizza-oven-style 12-by-12-inch ceramic basket that crisps wings, bacon, and calzones in a wide flat layer. It stays whisper-quiet across all 10 presets, and grippy rubber feet keep it planted on the counter. You can't trigger the self-cleaning mode from the front panel, though, so you're forced to use the phone app.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9870Positive

YouTube · D&M Ralph Creations and reviews · 667 days ago

Smart sensing tech detects how much food you load and sets time and heat automatically, crisping 700 grams of frozen fries in 11 minutes. A removable bottom mesh insert traps rendered grease and rinses clean without heavy scrubbing. The outer shell is pretty bulky, though, so it won't fit comfortably in tight kitchens.

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL HD9650Positive

YouTube · AirfryDaily · 667 days ago

Twin TurboStar swirl plates at the bottom of the pan separate excess rendered fat from the circulating hot air. Popping out the removable mesh basket bottom makes scrubbing baked-on grease much easier after a roast. Still, the bulky housing eats up serious counter space, and it doesn't have the auto-sensing presets found on newer siblings.

Philips Essential Airfryer XL HD9270Positive

YouTube · Hazel's Diary · 667 days ago

Roasts a whole marinated chicken to a crunchy, golden crust in 30 minutes using the built-in poultry preset. Pulling out the drawer mid-cycle pauses the heating element automatically so you can check progress safely. Slide the pan back in and it picks right back up without losing your timer settings. You'll still need to flip a full-sized bird halfway through, though, since bottom airflow alone doesn't crisp the underside skin as evenly.

Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252Positive

YouTube · Review Whizz · 667 days ago

Holds up well over the long haul, with the nonstick coating on both the basket and pan staying intact after nearly two years of weekly cooks. Manual temperature tweaks turn out crispy tofu, tempeh, and golden fries without sticking or flaking. Its compact 4.1-liter footprint tucks neatly into tight apartment counters and cleans up in minutes. The capacitive touch buttons are a bit finicky, though, and don't always register taps on the first press.

Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252Positive

YouTube · Selectos EN · 667 days ago

Runs at a whisper-quiet 45 decibels from one meter away, making it easy to hold a conversation nearby. Responsive touch controls adjust heat quickly from 60 up to 200 degrees for everyday snacks. It doesn't have an automatic shake reminder beep, though, and thin fries needed three extra minutes past the preset to crisp.

Philips Airfryer 4000 Series Stacked Dual Basket NA460Positive

YouTube · Ultracooker EN · 667 days ago

Stacks two 5-liter baskets vertically to save counter width while keeping the exterior sides cool at 36 degrees. Both drawers have comfortable handles and brown family batches evenly without swapping trays midway. Dishwasher-safe nonstick inserts rinse clean quickly after greasy roast cycles. The lower crisper grate holes are slightly wide, though, so shoestring fries can slip through. It also doesn't include a dedicated keep-warm button on the panel.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series NA332Positive

YouTube · Ultracooker EN · 667 days ago

Got a bright viewing window and internal light that make tracking 6.2 liters of food effortless without opening the drawer. Tighter grid holes in the crisper tray keep thin fries from dropping through into the lower pan. Both the basket and insert are dishwasher-safe and clean up fast after greasy cooks. Touch controls feel a little laggy when tapping through menus, though. Separating the inner basket from the bulky outer pan isn't always smooth either.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series NA332Positive

YouTube · Wave Oven Recipes · 667 days ago

Runs at 1700 watts with a 6.2-liter capacity and heat settings ranging from 100 to 400 degrees. Sixteen presets and long timers on lower heat handle everything from slow dehydrating to quick crisping. Because of that heavy power draw, it'll trip shared kitchen breakers if you don't plug it into a dedicated circuit.

Philips Airfryer 3000 Series Dual Basket NA350Positive

YouTube · Lazy AWESOME Dad · 667 days ago

Pulls 2750 watts across two asymmetric drawers to crisp frozen burgers, salmon fillets, and a whole roast chicken evenly. The sync finish button automatically holds the shorter cook until both sides are ready to serve together. Cleanup is quick once the baskets cool down after dinner. Drawers slide out on basic friction rather than smooth glide rails, though, so they feel a bit stiff. The 80-centimeter power cord is also pretty short and doesn't reach distant wall outlets.

Philips Airfryer 1000 Series NA130Positive

YouTube · Samir Mahure · 667 days ago

6.2-liter non-stick basket with a starfish airflow bottom, circulates heat evenly around family-sized batches of chicken or fries. Tactile mechanical dials handle time and temperature tweaks without fussy touchscreens, and the 4.2 kg body is easy to move around. It doesn't have digital presets or a shake reminder, though, so you'll need to flip food on your own.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Smart Cook AF451Mixed

YouTube · Lindz and Life · 667 days ago

Flat digital touch panel wipes down easily and holds up reliably through a full year of daily family meals. Both 4.75-liter baskets and nonstick crisper plates resist peeling or flaking even after months of heavy rotation and quick sink washes. Having two separate zones makes timing proteins and sides straightforward on busy weeknights. The built-in smart thermometer probe wasn't calibrated accurately during meat cooks, though. You'll still want a standalone instant-read thermometer on hand to double-check internal doneness.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400Positive

YouTube · TheThorpester · 667 days ago

Twin 4.75-liter drawers come with chunky insulated handles and nonstick crisper plates that wipe clean in seconds. Easily roasts a whole chicken in one basket while crisping roast potatoes at a different temperature in the second compartment. Even with a big 9.5-liter capacity for family dinners, the body still slides neatly underneath standard kitchen wall cupboards. Hot air exhausts out the back vents and rises straight toward overhanging cabinets, though. You'll want to pull it forward on the counter before running high-heat cooks.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400Positive

YouTube · A2B Productions · 667 days ago

Packs 2400 watts and holds 25% more per drawer than the 7.6-liter model, fitting up to 1.4 kilos of fries per side. Max Crisp hits 240 degrees Celsius for crunchy skin and frozen snacks, while Match and Sync modes finish separate dishes together. Rear vents blast strong heat plumes though, so don't tuck it under low cabinets.

Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500Mixed

YouTube · Candid Clara · 667 days ago

Huge 10.4-liter drawer handles oversized roasts that standard dual-basket air fryers can't fit, plus it adds a dedicated prove mode from 35 to 75 degrees Celsius. Max Crisp locks in at 240 degrees Celsius for rapid crisping on frozen food without overlapping normal air fry temps. Pull out the center divider when you need one giant roasting tray for family dinners. The thin metal divider doesn't block heat well between zones, though. Running one side on roast pushed the idle side up to 80 degrees Celsius.

Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500Positive

YouTube · Best Home Gadgets Tech Reviews · 667 days ago

Rear exhaust vents point straight up so hot air won't scorch your kitchen walls during dual-zone cooks. Sync mode held the roast potatoes on pause until the Beef Wellington hit the matching countdown window, and dual fans browned both sides evenly. It's noticeably louder than a microwave though, with a distinct fan whine.

Ninja Foodi DualZone DZ201Positive

YouTube · Katelyn · 667 days ago

Smart Finish coordinates two different temperatures and cook times so your main dish and side finish at the exact same moment. Match Cook also copies settings across both 4-quart drawers with a single button press when making larger batches. Crisps kale chips evenly at 360 degrees Fahrenheit before running an automatic cool-down cycle at the end. Both nonstick baskets slide out smoothly and clean up without much scrubbing. It's fairly heavy to move around the kitchen though, and the wide body takes up noticeable counter space.

Ninja Foodi DualZone DZ201Positive

YouTube · The Review Hub · 667 days ago

Got twin 4-quart zones that run independent temperatures and programs for cooking mains and sides at once. Sturdy basket handles slide smoothly without jostling the other side, and the nonstick crisper plates wipe clean fast. It's a bulky 15.6 inches wide on the counter though, and odors can mix since both vents share the back.

Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8-QtPositive

YouTube · The Average Kitchen · 667 days ago

Bakes hot dogs, nuggets, and fries with even browning across both cooking zones. Sync Cook mirrors your time and temperature across both drawers automatically when you're making big batches. Clear glass fronts and interior lights let you watch food crisp up without pulling the baskets open and losing heat. You get plenty of room for family dinners when using both four-quart sides together. It isn't the fastest to warm up though, taking about five minutes to preheat, and the wide dual-drawer body eats up serious counter space.

Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8-QtPositive

YouTube · Frequent Flyer · 667 days ago

Got dual independent baskets that cook nuggets at 400 degrees and fries at 380 degrees at the same time. Each side has its own light switch so you don't lose heat checking on your food. It preheats fast and holds steady temperatures with both drawers running. Still, the timer caps at 60 minutes, and setting both sides takes lots of button presses.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-Qt ClearCookPositive

YouTube · Tesa Nicolanti · 667 days ago

Holds up great over six months of near-daily air frying and dehydrating fruit slices. Preheating is fast with a quick beep before you drop food in, and the turn dial makes dialing in temperatures super simple. The front window and interior light let you check on French toast sticks without yanking the basket open. Cleanup stays easy even after heavy weekly use. That preheat chime is pretty quiet though, so you'll miss it from another room, and dehydrating apple slices takes several hours.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-Qt ClearCookPositive

YouTube · Just A Dad Approved · 667 days ago

Crisps up frozen french fries in just 10 minutes at 400 degrees. The digital dial makes tweaking time and temp effortless, and the flat touchscreen wipes clean in seconds. Both the basket and cooking tray go right into the dishwasher after dinner. The interior light doesn't stay on by itself though, and the rubber tray feet can pop off when washing.

Dreo ChefMaker Combi FryerPositive

YouTube · Sypnotix · 667 days ago

Magnetic temperature probe plugs cleanly inside the basket to track internal meat temperatures with spot-on accuracy. Top water reservoir sprays a fine mist during combi-cook modes so chicken breasts stay juicy instead of drying out. Temperature settings run from 100 to 450 degrees, and the nonstick trays and grill rack go straight into the dishwasher. The front panel uses side touch buttons rather than a full interactive touchscreen though. You'll also need to refill and descale the water tank regularly to stop mineral buildup.

Dreo ChefMaker Combi FryerPositive

YouTube · Alex Hitt · 667 days ago

Piezoelectric water atomizer mists proteins while the dual-sensor probe automates heat curves for edge-to-edge medium-rare steaks. Packs combi-oven steam cooking into a 15-inch frame with a clear front window. Moisture-assisted cooking doesn't sear as deeply as a cast-iron skillet though, and the probe hardware makes the basket feel tight.

Cosori TwinFry 9-QtPositive

YouTube · Tom Horsman · 667 days ago

Giant nine-quart basket easily fits a 2.5 lb batch of chicken wings spread out in a flat single layer. Wide front handle gives you a solid two-handed grip when sliding out the extra-wide cooking drawer. Pulling out the center divider switches you right from dual independent zones to one massive grand zone. That extra-wide drawer eats up serious counter depth when you pull it out to flip food though. Dual rear vents also blast heavy heat, so it can't sit close to your backsplash.

Cosori TwinFry 9-QtPositive

YouTube · NOOB'S KITCHEN · 667 days ago

Sync finish holds back the faster zone so two different foods finish hot together, while grand zone heats the entire nine-quart basket. PFAS-free ceramic coating rinses clean without hard scrubbing. You have to seat the divider carefully so heat doesn't bleed between zones though, and the wide frame eats up lots of counter space.

Cosori TurboBlaze 6-QtPositive

YouTube · Empowered Cooks · 667 days ago

Five-speed DC motor keeps fan noise low while softened button beeps are much easier on the ears than older Cosori fryers. Top control panel gives you large, separate time and temperature buttons that are simple to read at a glance. Nine-and-a-half-inch square basket fits big single layers of food without overlapping or crowding. It drops the dedicated shake reminder button though, so you'll have to remember to flip food halfway on your own. The safety latch button on the handle also takes a deliberate push to slide the drawer out.

Cosori TurboBlaze 6-QtPositive

YouTube · MarKelly Farm · 667 days ago

Turbo modes run high fan speed and heat for fast roasting and crisping without waiting on long preheats. Temps drop down to 90 degrees for proofing dough or drying snacks, and the wide square basket holds family portions flat. You'll need to run a burn-in cycle first to clear factory odors though, and the hot rear exhaust needs open space.

Cosori Pro LE 5-QtPositive

YouTube · The Chris Review · 667 days ago

Got a responsive top touchscreen with dedicated buttons for preheat, keep warm, and shake reminders. Silicone corner bumpers lock the crisper plate firmly in place, and the 380-degree chicken preset turns out crispy, juicy wings. Temperature steps jump in 10-degree increments so you can't dial in single degrees, and the glossy top smudges easily.

Cosori Lite 2.1-QtPositive

YouTube · The French Glow · 667 days ago

Digital screen gives you an adjustable thermostat and countdown timer that simple dial-based mini fryers leave out. Cooks small batches of ten to twelve nuggets evenly with golden browning and minimal oil. Lightweight body is super easy to lift, wipe down, and tuck inside small apartment cabinets when you're done. The 2.1-quart basket is too small for personal pizzas or whole chicken cutlets unless you cut them up first. It also doesn't have an automatic shake alert, so you must remember to flip food halfway.

Cosori Lite 2.1-QtPositive

YouTube · Just A Dad Approved · 667 days ago

Compact frame weighs under 5 lb, making it easy to tuck into dorm rooms or small apartments. Touchscreen panel toggles between air fry, bake, roast, and reheat up to 400 degrees, and silicone feet keep the crisper plate locked in. That small basket only fits single portions though, so you'll run multiple batches to feed two people.

Cosori Iconic 6.5-QtPositive

YouTube · A Mind Full Mom · 667 days ago

Got a stainless steel interior and PFOA-free ceramic basket, so you don't have to worry about peeling plastic coatings. Temperature settings span from 90 to 450 degrees, handling everything from bread proofing and dehydrating to high-heat roasting. Roomy 6.5-quart drawer easily fits generous batches of proteins and roasted sides for weeknight dinners. You'll want to run a burn-in cycle outside or near a window first to clear out the noticeable factory smell. The all-metal body is also heavier than plastic models and harder to pull from cabinets.

Cosori Iconic 6.5-QtPositive

YouTube · The Holistic Hazelnut Reviews · 667 days ago

DC motor and variable-speed fan run super quietly, so it won't drown out normal kitchen conversation. Wide 6.5-quart basket spreads out potatoes and veggies in a flat single layer, and the tempered glass top adjusts from 90 to 450 degrees. The rear exhaust gets very hot though, and you have to use the phone app for detailed food presets.

Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8-QtPositive

YouTube · Empowered Cooks · 667 days ago

Runs upper and lower heating elements together for true no-shake cooking that browns both sides of your food evenly. Nine-and-a-quarter by nine-and-a-half-inch basket gives you nearly four inches of depth for family meals. Single drawer with a drop-in crisper plate is way easier to wipe clean than awkward nested double baskets. Intense rear exhaust heat means you'll need at least five inches of clearance from walls and overhead cabinets. The rear cord notch also adds an extra inch and a half to its bulky counter depth.

Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8-QtPositive

YouTube · The Chris Review · 667 days ago

Big 6.8-quart square basket easily holds family batches of chicken wings without crowding pieces together. Connects smoothly over Wi-Fi with the VeSync app and lets you tweak heat in five-degree steps up to 400 degrees. The console beeps loudly on every button press and you can't mute it, plus it needs plenty of clearance under cabinets.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-QtPositive

YouTube · Stella Roberts · 667 days ago

Six one-touch preset modes simplify everyday cooking by letting you spin the dial up to 400°F and hit start in seconds. Hot air circulates rapidly once the cycle begins, and an audible chime lets you know right when preheating finishes. Wings and fries come out evenly browned with a crisp outer crunch. Still, grease pools under the crisping tray quickly, and scrubbing the bottom of the basket is a messy chore if you don't use liners.

Instant Vortex Plus 6-QtPositive

YouTube · Tesa Nicolanti · 667 days ago

Smooth rotary dial adjusts cook temperatures quickly without mashing arrow buttons repeatedly. Dehydrates sliced apples and strawberries evenly over a few hours and crisps frozen snacks in eight minutes flat. Preheat alert beeps only a few times, though, so it's easy to miss if you step out of the kitchen.

Instant Vortex Plus 4-QtPositive

YouTube · Chad Brown · 667 days ago

Compact footprint takes up minimal counter space compared to bulky multi-cookers and full-size air fryers. Removable crisping grate sits snugly inside the drawer with rubber bumpers that protect the non-stick coating from scratches. Simple dial and touch buttons make setting up quick weeknight snacks effortless. Because the basket is noticeably shallower and smaller than standard models, though, you can't cook large portions without running multiple batches.

Instant Vortex Plus 4-QtPositive

YouTube · Indigo Nili · 667 days ago

Compact 4-quart chamber circulates hot air faster than larger 6-quart models, crisping food quickly without drying it out. Holding down the time and temperature buttons lets you mute the loud operating beeps completely. That 4-quart basket limits batch size, though, so it isn't practical for feeding a big family at once.

Instant Vortex 6-QtPositive

YouTube · Productpicksla · 667 days ago

Heats up in just a couple of minutes and toasts bread evenly in three minutes at 350°F. Large non-stick basket slides out smoothly and goes straight into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. Because it uses a deep single basket, though, you'll still have to pull the drawer and shake food halfway through.

Ninja DoubleStack XL SL401Positive

YouTube · Just A Dad Approved · 667 days ago

Cooks french fries on the bottom crisper plate and fish fillets on the elevated rack inside the same basket. Double Stack Pro mode spreads rear-fan heat evenly across both drawers so all four layers crisp up well, and the nonstick baskets wipe clean fast. It blasts hot exhaust out the right side, though, so you can't park that side near walls or clutter.
