Our Verdict

Gotham Steel Air Fryer

Proctor Silex 35055

The Gotham Steel Air Fryer and Proctor Silex 35055 are both small models with simple designs, but the Gotham performs better. While it produces air-fried food that is just decent, food cooked in the Proctor Silex air fryer is of poor quality. It has more surface area in its basket to spread food out in a single layer and, ultimately, cooks it faster. The Gotham Steel also heats back up faster after you add food to the basket, though the Proctor Silex's temperature fluctuates slightly less throughout its cooking cycle.
