Our Verdict

thinkkitchen Retro Air Fryer

Typhur Dome 2

The Typhur Dome 2 is a better air fryer than the thinkkitchen Retro Air Fryer for most people. It makes better-quality fried food, leaving less of each batch undercooked. While it takes longer to preheat, it cooks food faster and maintains a more stable temperature while cooking. It's more versatile, too, with a wider range of temperature and fan speed settings as well as more preset cooking modes. That said, the Typhur is quite a large model, and you may prefer the thinkkitchen if you have limited space and don't mind a simpler, less expensive option.
