Air Fryers Buying Advice

An air fryer is only useful if it fits your kitchen and your meals. This page is buying advice. We add specific product picks only after reading the maker's own page.

Start with what you need

  • Capacity. Capacity is listed in litres. Smaller models suit one or two people, and larger ones suit families.
  • Counter space. Check the size and weight of the fryer against the space you have.
  • Controls. Simple dials are easy to use. Digital controls with presets can help if you cook many things.
  • Cleaning. A removable, dishwasher-safe or easy-to-wash basket makes daily use easier.

Buying guide

  • Power. Power is listed in watts. Check that your home wiring can handle it.
  • Basket size. The basket decides how much food you can cook at once.
  • Noise and smell. Read what buyers say about noise and any smell when new.

Common questions

Does an air fryer use less oil?

Air fryers can cook crisp food with much less oil than deep frying, but results depend on the food and the model.

What size air fryer should I buy?

Choose by the number of people you cook for. Many families prefer a larger basket so they do not need to cook in batches.
