The MOVA FD10 Pro is a compact, 6.4-quart air fryer with a window in its basket that lets you monitor recipes as they cook. It has dual heating elements, which the brand says eliminate the need to shake or flip your food halfway through cooking. There are just two distinct cooking modes, Manual and Defrost, but the touchscreen display also offers preset modes for foods such as fries, chicken, and shrimp.
Our Verdict
The MOVA FD10 Pro is an okay choice for cooking fries. Frozen fries come out decently crispy, but a sizable portion are also too soft or overcooked. You get worse results with fresh fries, especially thick pub-style chips or wedges, with more coming out soft instead of crispy overall. It can cook a small batch of frozen fries reasonably quickly, but if you're making them from scratch, expect to wait a while. As a compact air fryer, it doesn't have a ton of surface area to work with, but if you want a small air fryer mostly for reheating frozen snacks and sides, you may not mind.
Leaves frozen fries decently crispy.
Cooks small or precooked frozen snacks fairly quickly.
Compact design suits small kitchens.
Under- and overcooks some of your food.
Moist foods cook slowly and don't crisp evenly.
Some 6-quart air fryers offer more cooking surface area.
The MOVA FD10 Pro isn't an ideal choice for making wings. It doesn't have strong enough airflow to cook fresh wings well, leaving at least a few wings from each batch pale and rubbery despite a somewhat long cook time. Precooked frozen wings cook fairly quickly and turn out better, but the air fryer still leaves a few pieces either overcooked or not crispy enough. It doesn't have very much surface area in its basket either, which can make it difficult to arrange larger batches in a single layer.

The MOVA FD10 Pro is a mediocre choice for air frying. While it leaves the majority of each batch of frozen fries, spring rolls, or precooked appetizers crispy, it also undercooks or overcooks a significant portion of the batch. The temperature regularly undershoots the set point, and the fan speed isn't very fast, which creates an even larger issue for whole proteins and moist foods like fresh veggies. They cook less evenly, and by the time they come out, veggies are a bit dry, and meat is somewhat tough. Beyond air frying, it's not very versatile. With only one fan speed, it's not a great choice for other cooking methods, since the fan is too fast to bake without drying out your food and too slow to roast or broil effectively.

Lacks versatility, due to its fixed fan speed, which is very low.
The MOVA FD10 Pro offers 6.4 quarts of capacity, enough to serve three to four people at once. The basket is tall, offering enough clearance for taller foods like sausage rolls or a ramekin of mac and cheese. It has a reasonable amount of surface area, and while some 6-quart air fryers offer more space, it's still pretty easy to arrange food in a single layer for crispier results.
The 6.4-quart capacity can serve three to four people.
Tall cooking chamber.
Some 6-quart air fryers offer more cooking surface area.
The MOVA FD10 Pro preheats very quickly and cooks small, fried foods quickly, but making something bulkier, like a serving of chicken wings, takes much longer.

Popular Air Fryer Comparisons
The MOVA FD10 Pro is a compact air fryer with a window in its 6.4-quart basket, so you can keep an eye on your food as it cooks. While it does a decent job with precooked frozen food, like fries, spring rolls, or mozzarella sticks, some other windowed air fryers cook simple snacks and small mains more evenly. For example, the Philips 2000 series 4.2L NA220/00 leaves a significant portion of each batch overdone or not crispy enough, but it still cooks more evenly than the MOVA.
Unfortunately, this air fryer isn't particularly versatile either, offering only one fan speed that isn't very useful for other cooking methods like dehydrating, baking, and roasting. If you're looking for a windowed air fryer that offers more versatility, consider the Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt., which uses different fan speeds for various cooking methods and also produces results faster. If you prefer an air fryer with a fully glass cooking chamber, you might like the Ninja Crispi Pro AS101, which cooks more evenly and offers more versatility.
If you're wondering what we recommend, see our picks for the best air fryers, the best air fryers for French fries, and the best 6-quart air fryers.
The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181 provides better performance than the MOVA FD10 Pro with one important exception. The Ninja cooks faster, maintains a more stable temperature, and offers greater versatility for tasks such as dehydrating, baking, and roasting. However, the MOVA offers better frying quality and cooks more evenly, so less of each batch is undercooked or burnt. Get the Ninja if you want a versatile option for multi-purpose use, but if even air frying is your priority, go for the MOVA.
The MOVA FD10 Pro is a better air fryer than the thinkkitchen Luminate. The MOVA cooks faster and more evenly, delivering crispier results in less time. Neither option is particularly versatile, since they both offer only one fan speed, but the MOVA has a wider temperature range, giving you more flexibility in the recipes you can make.
The Typhur Sync Air Fryer is a better choice than the MOVAFD10 Pro. Whether you're making a batch of frozen fried food, like a plate of fries or onion rings, or something heartier, like wings, meatballs, or pork chops, the Typhur finishes cooking faster and leaves more of your food crispy and evenly cooked. It's also more versatile, so you can use it to roast, bake, or dehydrate, while the MOVA is best suited to just air frying.
The COSORI Iconic is a better air fryer than the MOVA FD10 Pro. The COSORI cooks more quickly and evenly, so more of each batch comes out crispy and well-cooked, whether you're making a quick plate of fries or nuggets, or a batch of wings or meatballs. It's also much more versatile, thanks to its wider range of temperature and fan-speed settings. This versatility makes it a better choice if you plan to experiment with other cooking methods in your air fryer, such as dehydrating or roasting.
Test Results
There's enough surface area to spread out a portion of French fries, but making a large batch of wings leaves things fairly crowded. The crisper plate has a PTFE non-stick coating, so it's easy to clean.
This air fryer has a capacity of almost 6.5 quarts, serving up to four people. The cooking chamber is quite tall compared to others, so there's enough space for taller foods that won't fit into other air fryers. Like the crisper plate, the cooking chamber has a PTFE non-stick coating, making it easy to keep clean.
This air fryer offers decent versatility, but with only one fan speed, there's a limit to what it can do well. It doesn't get low enough for gentler tasks like dehydrating, proofing dough, or baking, and it's not quite high enough for effective roasting. The minimum temperature isn't very low either, but it gets hot enough for most recipes.
The cooking modes reflect the narrow range of settings; there are only two.
- Manual: 120 °F - 460 °F
- Defrost: 120 °F - 390 °F
There are also a number of cooking presets for various kinds of food, like Pastry, Pizza, and Shrimp.
When making batches of frozen fried foods, like onion rings, taquitos, or chicken nuggets, more than half of each batch comes out crispy and evenly browned. However, a sizable portion doesn't get brown enough, and an even larger portion overcooks.
This air fryer offers disappointing performance for cooking raw meat and poultry. The temperature fluctuates throughout cooking, undershooting the set point significantly, so high-moisture-content foods brown unevenly, and a significant portion doesn't crisp up at all. It takes a long time to cook raw protein from scratch, and more fat renders out than is ideal. As a result, cooking lean meats at a lower temperature takes so long that they're somewhat dry by the time they cook through, while proteins that need a quick sear don't get enough heat and end up a little dry, too.
Fries, chicken nuggets, and other small foods cook fairly quickly, but you have to wait a long time for moist foods, like veggies, or thicker proteins to cook through.
After you open the drawer to add food, this air fryer takes an extra minute to regain its heat. It doesn't take too long to heat back up, but once it does, the temperature fluctuates a lot throughout cooking.
