CONS

CHEFMAN Large Air Fryer Max
Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer
Yes

1. The bottom tray does NOT lock into the basket. 2. Why is this problem? Say you have some fries or chicken nuggets in the air fryer cooking and you want to dump them out into a bowl or plate. The whole bottom tray will fall out - and you try to stop it and you get burnt. 3. Double-check the dimensions of the air fryer, with the space that you want to put it into. 4. This unit also throws off a lot of heat. So if you're expecting to use it in the summer on a 90 plus degree day without heating up your kitchen - reset your expectations.

Yes

No preset modes for different food. When you select cooking mode, a default time is set (i.e. 10 min for Max Crisp, 15 min for air fry, and 20 for bake). Quite tall but should still fit on your counter. You will still need to have the back and top open when using it as the air intake is at the top and the air exhaust is in the back. It's deep but the cooking is uneven. The top will get burned while the bottom is still raw. You can make this problem go away by shaking your meal. You constantly have to Google the cooking temperature and time of a food item as not a lot are in the booklet that comes with the appliance. It is considered to be a bit noisy.
