The tests focused on preheating speed (using a metal test piece), cooking performance for french fries, cookies, bacon, and chicken, as well as noise level and ease of cleaning. The final ranking is determined by an average score across all these metrics. ## Detailed Analysis The review compared ten air fryers: Cosori ($120), Ninja ($130), Oster ($110), Instant Pot ($150), Philips ($140), Cuisinart ($220), Typhur ($300), CHEFMAN ($60), BLACK+DECKER ($53), and Breville ($400). The Cosori won the overall review with the best average finish score of 3.1, largely due to its exceptional performance in initial heating (8 minutes) and its top scores in noise, bacon, and cleaning. The Ninja placed second overall with a score of 4.4, tying with Oster and Philips, and winning the French fry and cookie tests. The Breville was the slowest overall, taking 11:23 to cook fries and 30 minutes to cook chicken, resulting in the highest average score of 6.3.
