Our Verdict
NutriChef 5.8 Quart NCAF539TB
Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt.
The Chefman Crispinator 8 Qt. is a better air fryer than the NutriChef 5.8 Quart NCAF539TB. The Chefman offers more capacity, so you can make bigger batches, and it preheats and cooks faster. It also cooks more evenly, so no matter what you're making, it comes out more uniformly crispy and golden brown. The Chefman is much more versatile as well, with a wider range of temperature and fan-speed settings that are ideal for other cooking methods, such as baking and dehydrating.
