Basket vs oven style, took me 6 months to see the difference

I got a basket style air fryer back in March and used it almost daily, mostly for wings and frozen stuff. Then my sister let me borrow her oven style one last week while she was on vacation. Same recipe, same temp, same time, but the crisping was totally different on the oven type, especially for anything with a batter. I think the basket traps heat better or something, but the oven style dried out the top before the bottom got crunchy. Has anyone else noticed a big gap between the two styles, or is it just how I loaded the trays?

Ugh, my basket air fryer once turned a whole batch of hash browns into charcoal while the middle stayed totally raw!
