How to choose
Match capacity to the meal
Basket capacity decides how much cooks at once. The Cuisinart holds 4.5 quarts in one basket, the Chefman holds 6 quarts across two 3-quart baskets, the Ninja pairs a 4-quart container with a 6-cup container, and the NEWBULIG totals 9.5 quarts across two baskets. Two baskets let two dishes cook at once, while a single basket suits one dish at a time.
Compare functions and presets
Functions name what the fryer does, and presets set time and temperature for common foods. The Cuisinart and the Ninja each list 4 functions, while the NEWBULIG lists 10 presets. The Cuisinart presets cover French Fries, Wings, Frozen Snacks and Vegetables, and the NEWBULIG presets cover Bake, Dehydrate, Defrost, Steak, Chicken and Shrimp. Match the list to the foods you cook most.
Check cleanup and storage
Parts that go in the dishwasher cut cleanup time. The Cuisinart, Chefman and Ninja list parts that go in the dishwasher, while the NEWBULIG has ceramic-coated crisper plates in a stainless steel body. For storage, the Ninja PowerPod nests inside its glass containers. The Chefman and NEWBULIG each hold two baskets.
