I was skeptical about how much difference a mesh rack would make, but the improved air circulation really shows in how evenly the fries crisp up on both layers. It fits snugly and doesn't wobble at all, so loading the top basket feels totally secure.

The extra space this rack adds really opens up the air fryer for batch cooking—I can fit a full tray of wings without them crowding each other, and the improved circulation crisps everything evenly. It fits perfectly with the 15.5 QT model and doesn't wobble at all.
Robert★★★★☆
The mesh rack fits perfectly in my 15.5 QT and the open wire design really does let hot air move around, so I can cook a full tray of fries and chicken at once. It's a bit of a squeeze to slide it in if you don't align it just right, but once it's seated, it's a solid two-level setup.
