Fine across the smaller basket, with a shake as it fills.

Our verdict
A tidy, affordable pick for couples and small kitchens. It is light, simple and cleans up fast, with the reassurance of a 3-year warranty.
The 4.5-quart basket and 400°F ceiling are the limits. Within its size it is a capable, no-fuss fryer.
How it compares
It is smaller and cheaper than the 6-quart AIR-200NAS. The 2.6-quart AIR-80 is the pick if you want the smallest option.
Frequently asked
