Overview
Eleven quarts of basket space at 1800W is a capable combination for family-sized meals, and Cuisinart's ADZ-110 delivers both at a price that does not require stepping up to a countertop oven. At $169.95 it lands in a reasonable position for a brand that typically commands a premium, though the plastic construction is a tradeoff to acknowledge at this tier.
Touch controls and a 16 x 17.2 x 12.2 in footprint make it a larger countertop presence, so kitchen space is a real consideration. The 1800W draw ensures fast preheat and consistent cooking performance across that 11 qt interior volume.
With 233 reviews at a 4.4 rating, buyers are generally satisfied. Cuisinart's brand track record in countertop appliances adds credibility to the early score, and the rating suggests the model performs to the expectations set by the brand's reputation.
Performance notes
At 1800W and 11 qt, the ADZ-110 is well-matched for cooking a whole chicken, a large batch of fries, or multiple servings of protein at once. The wattage ensures the large interior heats quickly and maintains temperature even when loaded. Touch controls let users dial in time and temperature without needing to reference a manual. The unit weighs an unstated amount, and the 16 x 17.2 x 12.2 in dimensions confirm this is a countertop occupier rather than a compact model. Plan dedicated counter space.
What buyers say
A 4.4 rating from 233 buyers is a positive signal for a newer Cuisinart model. Cuisinart buyers generally arrive with established expectations around build quality and cooking performance, so a strong rating from this audience carries some weight. The review count is not yet deep enough for a long-term durability picture, but early feedback is encouraging.

Frequently asked questions
Is 11 qt enough for a whole chicken?
An 11 qt basket can typically fit a 3 to 4 pound whole chicken comfortably, though clearance depends on the basket's dimensions. At 1800W the heat level is sufficient for roasting poultry. Always verify the specific dimensions against your typical bird size before cooking a larger chicken.
Why does this Cuisinart model use plastic instead of stainless steel?
At this price point and basket size, the plastic body keeps weight down and cost manageable. Cuisinart's oven-style air fryers use stainless steel exteriors but command a higher price. The plastic here is a design choice for the basket-style form factor, not an indication of interior cooking quality.
How does the ADZ-110 compare to Cuisinart's oven-style air fryers?
The ADZ-110 is a traditional basket-style air fryer optimized for batches of food cooked in one vessel. Cuisinart's oven-style models like the TOA-60 add toast, bake, and broil functions with rack cooking. The basket design tends to circulate air more efficiently for crisping, while the oven style offers more cooking modes.
