The drawer-style air fryers are kinda dumb but the ones with the rotating basket on the inside really do cook french fries way better than you could in a regular oven spread out on a sheet pan and without having to heat up a bunch of oil in a pan to get similar texture.

Came here to say this. It feels like they're so attached to the "fryer" narrative that they designed it so they can say "look, it even has a fryer basket" but that basket is dumb. When I had one it had shelves which meant I could make more stuff at a time and what I made came out better because it wasn't all piled on top of itself. Also the rotisserie with the skewer made whole chickens pretty quickly and the rotating basket made the bangin'est oven fries.

If you happen to remember what brand name it had or what it was called, I'd love to know. Sounds amazing.

I had a chefman air fryer. The 10qt one and it has 5 positions for the shelves, came with two racks. It is really great for cooking a few things at the same time that you want basted in fat.

I cook sausages on the top rack then fries underneath, the fat drips on the fries and makes them tastier.

I was pretty lazy with it and some fat got into the electronics and it started smoking. I'm now going to buy the 12 qt version.

It was a gift and has long since died. best I can do for you is that it says "power air fryer oven" on the front
