Look at the usable basket shape, not only the advertised liters.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleaning matters<\/h2>\n<p>Choose a removable basket with a nonstick surface you can clean without special tools. Fewer parts usually mean a better chance you will use the appliance often.<\/p>\n<h2>Useful controls<\/h2>\n<p>Simple temperature and time controls are enough for most meals. Presets can be convenient, but they should not replace clear manual adjustment.<\/p>\n<h2>Where it belongs<\/h2>\n<p>Leave space around the air fryer for ventilation and make sure the cord can reach safely. A smaller model that stays accessible can outperform a larger one stored in a cupboard.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>For two people, prioritize a practical basket shape, easy cleanup, and a footprint that fits your routine. Extra modes are optional; daily convenience is not.<\/p>\n<h2>Capacity is about basket shape<\/h2>\n<p>Two baskets with the same advertised volume can cook differently. A wide basket may fit vegetables and a protein in one layer; a narrow one may require stacking and shaking. Check the basket, tray, and handle against your sink and dishwasher, and leave airflow around the appliance.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Factor<\/th>\n<th>Compare<\/th>\n<th>Impact<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Basket<\/td>\n<td>Surface area and depth<\/td>\n<td>Even cooking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Controls<\/td>\n<td>Manual range<\/td>\n<td>Repeatable recipes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cleanup<\/td>\n<td>Removable parts<\/td>\n<td>More frequent use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>A dual-basket model can coordinate foods but costs space and money.
