Our Verdict

Chefman Multifunctional Air Fryer+

Ninja Foodi DZ550

The Ninja Foodi DZ550 is a better air fryer than the Chefman Multifunctional Air Fryer+. Both models have approximately 10 quarts of capacity, and while the Chefman has more cooking surface area, thanks to its oven-style design, this doesn't translate into better performance. The Ninja makes much better-quality fried food, leaving significantly more of each batch crispy and well-cooked, and it produces results faster. It offers more versatility, too, with a wider range of temperature and fan speed settings, as well as additional preset cooking modes.
