How it tested

We ran the same battery of tests we use on every air fryer, from frozen chips to fresh wings and roast veg. Here is how it scored on each.

Crispiness — 8.5

Chips and wings came out crisp and golden thanks to the powerful fan and high top temperature.

Crispy food fresh from the air fryer

Evenness — 8.4

Even across the big basket, with a shake for fuller loads.

Ease of use & cleanup — 8.4

The ceramic basket cleans easily and is dishwasher safe. Simple to run.

Noise — 7.9

A firm hum at full tilt.

Design & build

A concrete-grey unit with a clear window. Roomy but tall, so check your cupboard height.

Who it’s for

✓ Buy it if…
  • You want a big basket cheaply
  • You like to watch food cook
✗ Look elsewhere if…

Our verdict

A lot of air fryer for the money. The six-function Crispinator crisps well, holds plenty and adds a useful window.

The controls are basic buttons and the build is value-grade. For everyday family cooking it delivers where it counts.

How it compares

It is the simpler, cheaper sibling of the 7-in-1 Crispinator. Step up for bake, broil and dehydrate.

Frequently asked

Does it have touch controls?

No, it uses push buttons. The 7-in-1 model adds a touch panel.

How big is the basket?

Eight quarts, enough for a family batch.

AirFryer Ovens test kitchen · Bought at retail, never supplied by the brand

Every oven runs the same five stages: preheat timing, a frozen chip crispiness run, a full tray evenness test, a full load cook, then noise, energy and cleanup. Scores carry the same weighting on every model, so commission never moves a ranking.
