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 — 8.4
The DC motor gave a strong, even crisp on chips and wings, close to pricier fryers.
Evenness — 8.3
Even colour across the XL basket, with a shake on packed loads.
Ease of use & cleanup — 8.3
The nonstick basket is dishwasher safe and the window helps you judge doneness.
Noise — 7.8
A steady hum, not harsh.

Our verdict
The DC motor is the upgrade here, giving a stronger crisp than most fryers at this price. Nine quarts covers real family cooking.
It is a single basket, so two foods still cook one after another. For big single-food batches it is excellent value.
How it compares
It holds more than the 8-quart Crispinator and adds the DC motor. A dual-basket Chefman is the pick for two zones.
Frequently asked
What does the DC motor do?
It moves air faster and more steadily for a stronger, more even crisp.
