This medium-sized air fryer is great for families, and it is one of NuWave’s most popular air fryers.

In terms of capacity, it can hold around 3.5 pounds of chicken and 2 pounds of fries, which is more than the previous two models. 

What makes the 6-Quart stand out from the other models, is that it contains a removable divider insert. This allows you to cook different foods at the same time.

If you do need to cook something larger, you can also remove this section. This is a time-saving feature as it means you do not have to cook everything individually.

Its built-in safety features make the Brio Air Fryer one of the safest on the market. It will automatically switch off when the cooking basket is removed. It does not resume cooking until the basket is safely clicked back into place.
