Our take
For anyone who doesn't want to overthink it or spend over $100, the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp just works. It beat pricier models in GH's air frying tests — that's all you need to know.
If counter space is your #1 constraint, nothing else comes close. The flip-up design is genuinely brilliant, and the air fry performance is best-in-class for this form factor.
