Our Verdict
Cuisinart AIR-200
Fritaire
The Cuisinart AIR-200 is a better air fryer than the Fritaire. The Cuisinart makes better-quality fried food, leaving more of each batch crispy and golden-brown. While it has a higher minimum temperature and a lower maximum fan speed, the Cuisinart is still more versatile overall. It can get a little hotter than the Fritaire, has lower fan speeds for delicate tasks like baking, and offers more preset cooking modes. The Cuisinart works a lot faster, too, saving you more time than the Fritaire.
