Our Verdict

Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt.

COSORI Iconic

The COSORI Iconic and the Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt. are both very good air fryers, and you may prefer one over the other depending on what's most important to you. The COSORI cooks a little faster and delivers better frying quality, so more of each batch comes out crispy. The Chefman, on the other hand, preheats faster and reheats faster after you open the drawer to add food. Both options are exceptionally versatile, making them suitable for a range of cooking methods, including baking, dehydrating, and roasting.
