Our Verdict
Gotham Steel Air Fryer
Salton AF2085
The Salton AF2085 and the Gotham Steel Air Fryer are pretty evenly matched. They both produce decent-quality fried food, and neither is very versatile. The Gotham Steel cooks a bit faster, but the Salton maintains better temperature stability, which makes it easier to follow precise recipes. One thing to note is that even though these air fryers are about the same size, the Salton has almost double the capacity of the Gotham Steel. So, if you're tight on space and need to make larger portions, you may prefer it.
