What the testers found
Rated Highly Recommended by America's Test Kitchen, the same tier as the Breville: "Its air-fried food was as good as the food made in our winning air fryer, and it also excelled at toasting bread to different doneness levels, broiling asparagus, and roasting chicken." Its "external footprint is about 10 percent larger," and it has no slow-cook or proof setting. ATK didn't test long-term durability; the listing doesn't state a warranty (the Breville's is 2 years).
