Chefman - Double Basket Air Fryer - 9 Quart

The convection style air fryers that look like mini ovens don’t air fry as well as the basket fryers. The only exception is the instant pot vortex plus that still utilizes the top down fan. So keep that in mind as the oven style ones will take longer to crisp things up (bigger size with a weaker fan). All are pretty difficult to clean but I would avoid the ninja flip for that reason, it has heating coils that are impossible to clean under and will look terrible pretty quickly if you don’t deep clean after every use (depending on what you are cooking). Toasting is also better from a dedicated toaster, I find it dries out the bread too much in the oven. I personally have the cosori ceramic now since it’s easier to clean but honestly the cheap chefman basket style air fryer I bought for 30$ back in the day was a much better air fryer, most air fryer directions I think are for basket style as the oven style I need to keep it running for quite a few more minutes at a higher temp to get it crispy

I’ve never used the instant pot air fryer lid myself (although I do have an instant pot), my main concern for it is not having any airflow underneath the food, but I see from the product details it does have a fryer basket which basically turns it into a large basket style air fryer which should work better than an oven style convection. The only downside I see is it seems kind of like a pain in the ass to have to assemble it before being able to throw your food in vs just having a dedicated air fryer on the counter, but the upside is it seems a lot easier to clean it all
