The CompactMax is Cuisinart's 8-quart basket air fryer built on a narrow footprint so it fits a crowded countertop while still holding 3 lb of fries or a 4.5-lb chicken. It offers Air Fry, Roast and Bake plus one-touch presets for Fries, Wings and Frozen Snacks, and an automatic Keep Warm. The ceramic nonstick basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe. Against cheaper 8-quart baskets it trades a little raw wattage and capacity headroom for a smaller footprint and Cuisinart's build and support; owners rate it highly for even browning and easy cleanup.

With four cooking functions and three air fryer presets, the Cuisinart CompactMax™ 8-Qt Basket Air Fryer can handle a day of food prep, from breakfast to snacks to dinner to dessert. Cooking functions include Air Fry, Roast, and Bake, and air fry presets make it easy to prepare Fries, Wings, and Frozen Snacks at the touch of a button. The narrow footprint of this multi-function 8-qt air fryer fits comfortably on the countertop but still has room to cook 3 lb of french fries or a 4.5-lb chicken. The Automatic Keep Warm feature holds food for serving. For easy cleanup, the ceramic nonstick crisper plate and basket are dishwasher safe.
