The CompactMax is Cuisinart's 8-quart basket air fryer, a 1,800-watt machine that tops out at 410°F. The 8-quart basket is generous for a single-basket design, so it fits a whole chicken or a family batch of fries, but the body is 19.2 inches wide and takes real counter space. It sits between smaller 6-quart fryers that crowd food and larger dual-basket models that cost more and add a second zone. Owners rate it well for even crisping and simple controls; the usual complaints are its footprint and the single zone.

Owners give it strong marks for even crisping and easy operation at a family size. The recurring complaints are its width on the counter and the limits of a single basket.
