What the testers found
TechGearLab's Best Overall Air Fryer: "An excellent, four-quart fryer that consistently makes delicious meals no matter what you're cooking." It cooked better and ran truer to temperature than the DualZone in TechGearLab's tests. The trade-off is size: one 4-quart basket with about half the DualZone's cooking area, which TechGearLab rates for "Couples and side dishes." Its con: "Limited temperature controls." It can't cook two foods at once.
