The decision in plain terms
Choose Compact Air Fryer 2 Qt if you want the smaller advertised capacity. Choose Tasti-Crisp 8QT Max Pro Ceramic if the larger advertised capacity fits your batch plan.
The key documented difference is advertised capacity. That difference does not establish a proportionate change in usable cooking area, portions or cooking speed. There is no hands-on performance winner or live-price winner in this comparison.

What could change your choice
Measure the food footprint you need, inspect the manual's clearance instructions and confirm exact-model accessories. Unknown dimensions and coating chemistry are not equivalent to zero or an adverse finding. Current price, stock and personal budget can reverse a specification-based preference.

DCAF150GBAQ02: model-specific notes and limitations
Exact Aqua SKU; manual timer controls. Cosmetic colors not separate models. Shop displayed Sold Out. Coating label does not establish whole-appliance health outcome. Exact DCAF150 guide requires at least 4 inches free space surrounding the appliance and nothing on top. It does not separately quantify overhead clearance, so the complete rear/side/top object stays unknown.
