It is not as large as full oven style air fryers, but it is one of the larger square shaped air fryers on the market. You’ll also want to consider what you’ll be primarily cooking in your new air fryer. Some models are really best suited for French fries, but not a lot of other foods.
No matter what you’re cooking, you’ll get crispy and crunchy food with significantly less oil. After my first successful attempt at using the air fryer, I found myself reaching for it daily. To my shock, I began to look forward to the veggie-focused masterpieces I created, from crispy balsamic Brussels sprouts to mouth-watering kale chips and French fries. I was finally getting a full serving of greens every day and having fun in the process.
The racks don’t slip off and nestle in the grooves tightly. We own another popular brand of oven style air fryer and the racks suck, they always slip and the food falls off. The Vortex racks are built well and slide in-and-out securely without slipping. This is a HUGE winner and feature we looked for first.
We tested 11 of the top air fryer models in our Lab by seeing how French fries, chicken tenders, and carrots fared in each machine. If possible, we also baked cornbread and roasted a small chicken. The testers cleaned each machine repeatedly and placed any dishwasher-safe parts through a few moosoo air fryer washing cycles. All of our reviewers evaluated the air fryers on ease of use, performance, performance, versatility, cleaning, and overall value. The lack of a preheat preset and a timer is another downside. It was a bit of a guessing game to know when it’s ready to cook, and when it’s done.
