CONS

Chefman Digital Air Fryer
Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer
Yes

1. It does take a good amount of space on the counter, and it's a bit loud while operating with the rotisserie spinning. 2. As this is more of a convection-style air fryer, the top rack is what gets hit with the heat blast and thus gets fried while the bottom rack is just serving as an oven. So you have to switch the top and bottom rack up during cooking if you want even fry. 3. Can be harder to clean. The little mesh trays need to be soaked in water as soon as you can. If not, you will be stuck using your fingernails to scrape up the pieces of meat that stay stuck on it. 4. It has no off switch so I have to unplug it to turn it completely off.

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.
