Ninja AF160UK Air Fryer Max 5.2L

Best air fryer for quick baking

Ninja AF160UK Air Fryer Max 5.2L

Star rating: 5/5

We consistently praise air fryers for their multifunctionality, but not all models come equipped with a wealth of baking functions. The circular non-stick tray inside lends itself well to baking cakes.

As is typical with Ninja models, the Air Fryer Max comes with a good range of cooking options: max crisp, air fry, bake, reheat and dehydrate. Our reviews experts gave this model a well-deserved 5/5.

Instant Vortex Plus dual air-fryer

Best dual-drawer air-fryer

Instant Vortex Dual air fryer

Star rating: 5/5

This dual-drawer model was one of the smallest we tested, and is able to cook a main and sides for four to six people thanks to its combined 7.5-litre capacity. The SyncFinish function also allows different functions to finish cooking at the same time – great for plating up various dishes simultaneously.

Ninja Speedi air-fryer ON400UK

Ninja Speedi 10-in-1 Rapid Cooker

Star rating: 4.5/5

So much more than an air-fryer, the Ninja Speedi is the brands' latest offering. Though there are 10 settings to explore, the Speedi can be primarily used for air-frying, grilling, roasting and sautéing. Its generously sized 5.7-litre capacity makes it a brilliant addition to households of four or five, and the rapid-cook setting is ideal for dinners in a flash.

We've watched the Speedi fall in price throughout the Black Friday period, but we don't expect this model to be any cheaper than it is today.

Cosori Air Fryer Lite 3.8L

Best WiFi-enabled air fryer

Cosori air-fryer lite 3.8L

Star rating: 4.5/5

This Cosori model impressed us with its sleek and simple design, colourful accents, and easy-to-remove grill tray – and its WiFi compatibility is a huge win on the convenience front. At the time of testing it was also one of the cheapest air fryers to run versus other models.

It ran quietly during use, and though we had to exercise some trial-and-error during the cooking process, it produced crispy, well-sealed chips and moist, evenly cooked chicken.

Philips Premium Avance air fryer XXL

Best for large families

Philips Avance Airfryer XXL cooking chips

Star rating: 4.5/5

This large-capacity air fryer from Philips impressed us with its efficient frying and range of preset functions, which include frozen fries, fish meat, chicken drumsticks, and a whole chicken.

For such a sizeable appliance, it stands to reason that it has a large footprint – but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy, and the integral cord storage means you can easily tidy it away between meals.

The keep-warm function is a great feature, and meant our chips were still hot and crispy after 20 minutes. We were impressed by the air and heat circulation too, and our lamb chops came out perfectly without us having to turn them while cooking.

Tefal EasyFry Precision 2-in-1 air-fryer and grill

Best air-fryer with grill attachment

Tefal EasyFry Precision digital air-fryer and grill

Star rating: 4.5/5

This slimline air-fryer from Tefal is equipped with eight presets for chips, meat, fish, vegetables, nuggets, roast chicken, pizza and desserts, plus manual air-fryer and grill options. Browning was a little inconsistent on a few of our tests, but this model excelled when cooking halloumi and crisp, crunchy chips.

Cosori Pro 5.5-litre air-fryer

Best large capacity air-fryer for affordability

cosori airfryer 5.5l high res with star badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

Already our best air-fryer for affordability, you can now pick this model up for even cheaper than the RRP. We loved the boxy, smart design, as well as the clear and intuitive control panel. There are a wealth of presets to explore as well as a manual setting so you can cook food exactly to your liking. Chips were cooked well, but they could have been more crisp.

HySapientia 24-litre air-fryer oven

Best air-fryer for large households

HySapientia air fryer oven

Star rating: 4/5

With a 24-litre capacity, this HySapientia model is certainly one of the largest air-fryers we've tested – making it an ideal choice for households of four or five. Its three-tiered cooking system can handle just under 1kg of fries or a 2.5kg chicken, and because it comes with so many accessories, it's also hugely versatile.

This air-fryer also produced evenly golden chips that were well sealed and didn't need to be shaken or turned over half-way through. Our halloumi fries were flavoursome, sporting a crisp outer layer and stretchy texture.

How to shop safely online

If you spot an air-fryer deal and it feels too good to be true, it probably is. According to NatWest, these popular gadgets are becoming one of the top purchase scams criminals use by advertising goods or selling through retailers that don't exist. You can minimise the risk of being duped by targeted scams by shopping from reputable retailers you trust, and avoiding unfamiliar sites or private sellers suggested to you through social media.

Always use the recommended secure payment methods if shopping online and avoid quizzes that ask for personal information similar to security questions, as these can be used to guess your passwords. Rest assured, we won't be adding any links into this page unless we're 100 per cent comfortable with the retailer. Read more in our guide on how to avoid scams when shopping online.

How do we find air-fryer deals?

When searching for air-fryers on sale, we look at a whole host of retailer sites to see what they’re offering. We’ve found that prices can change a couple of times a day as retailers compete with each other, so we track all the prices to ensure you’re always getting the best deal and update this page accordingly.

But we don’t just look to big retailers, we also look at smaller ones, too, as they may be offering a price that their larger counterparts cannot. Our aim is to find you the best price and the biggest air-fryer deals, whatever the retailer.

How do we select air-fryer deals?

You’ll notice that there are plenty of air-fryer deals around, but those that feature in this list are the best performers of more than 40 of those shortlisted, tested and reviewed by BBC Good Food experts.

Each was put to the test using Good Food's thoroughly tested recipes, designed to assess both their performance on everyday kitchen tasks but also challenge the additional functions to identify any weaknesses. Visit our full guide to the best air-fryers to find our top-rated picks and those that achieved the highest star ratings.

Are air-fryers worth the hype?

Known for their versatility, air-fryers are able to perform multiple functions. You can bake, roast, dehydrate and grill in almost all of the models we’ve tested, plus many more functions. It’s impressive to see how much is packed into their compact countertop footprint.

Not only does an air-fryer save you precious counter space, they’re often cheaper to run than ovens, particularly if you’re only heating up food for one or two.

Air-fryers work by circulating hot air to cook and crisp food to achieve that 'fried' texture and flavour, rather than using vats of oil – making air-fryers a healthier alternative to deep-fat frying. Plus there’s considerably less mess.

Not just reserved for chips, use your air-fryer for air-fryer chicken breasts, buffalo cauliflower wings, air-fryer sausages, air-fryer salmon, air-fryer doughnuts and much more. Read more in our guide: are air-fryers worth it?

How much does an air-fryer cost?

Prices can vary depending on the size, capacity and versatility of the machine. Prices for standard air-fryers tend to begin at around £50, though those at the lower end of the spectrum may require you to do some pre-cooking before you start.

For a basic air-fryer, we recommend looking at those around the £100 mark for something efficient. For more versatile and multifunctional appliances, we’ve seen prices reach the £300+ mark, but these models tend to serve as an extension of the oven, so are equally well worth the price.

How to get a good air-fryer deal

  • Read reviews: it’s easy to get swayed by a great looking deal, but there’s every chance the model you’ve got your eye on could be a dud. Our reviews experts have tested more than 40 different air-fryers so really do know the very best models around. Each test and review is impartial and offers up-to-date advice on the products actually worth buying.
  • Set a budget and stick to it: sales like these are excellent opportunities to save money so, in order to make the most of those savings, set a budget and try to stick to it.
  • When you see a price you're happy with, buy it: many air-fryer deals will only be available for a short amount of time.
  • Utilise tools to alert you to good prices: for example, CamelCamelCamel will show you the price history of Amazon products.

How to calculate your kWH cost

While air-fryers can be cheaper to run than a conventional oven, they do vary in energy efficiency. To calculate how much energy your appliance uses, simply multiply its wattage by the number of hours it is used per day. Then, divide that total by 1,000 to get the gadget's daily kilowatt-hour (kWh).

The cost per kWh can vary depending on what your energy tariff is, plus where you live. If you have a smart meter in your home, you'll be able to see the cost per use as you cook without having to do this calculation.
