Our take on the Cuisinart Compact Max 8-Qt Basket Air Fryer

The Cuisinart Compact Max is a basket-style air fryer with an 8-quart capacity and 1800 watts of power. The large single basket suits families and batch cooking, and a keep-warm function lets food sit before serving. It is bigger and more powerful than most 4- to 6-quart basket fryers, but it takes up real counter space and lacks the dual-zone baskets or rotisserie some rivals offer. Owners like the capacity and even browning; some find the presets limited and the exterior warm during long cooks.
