Our Verdict

Dreo ChefMaker

RICARDO Air Fryer

The Dreo ChefMaker performs better than the RICARDO Air Fryer, which is available on the Canadian market. The Dreo makes better-quality fried food and does so faster. While the RICARDO has a larger overall capacity, the Dreo has nearly as much surface area in its basket, so arranging food in one layer is easier. The Dreo also has more cooking modes and a temperature probe. Plus, it connects with an app for more convenient cooking.
