Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone air-fryer

Best air-fryer for families

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone AF400UK air-fryer

Star rating: 5/5

This sleek-looking air-fryer from Ninja comes with the handy sync function you get with most dual-drawer models, which allows you to programme both drawers simultaneously, even when cooking at different times and temperatures. This particular model also arrived in mostly recyclable packaging, which is a big win on the sustainability front.

It has a large capacity so it's an ideal choice for families of four-plus, and while it takes up a big chunk of the counter, it's versatile enough to guarantee everyday use. Now's the perfect time to snap it up for a fraction of the RRP.

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.

Star rating: 5/5

This boxy air-fryer is a multifunctional piece of kit. It comes with all the attachments for air-frying, chips and cooking rotisserie chicken. We loved the oven-style door and interior, as well as the large window and internal lights. There are plenty of functions to get to know and the touchscreen interface makes it a joy to use.

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.

Cuisinart air fryer mini oven

Best mid-range mini oven

Cuisinart air fryer mini oven

Star rating: 4.5/5

If you want an appliance that does more than air frying, this mini oven from Cuisinart is a solid upgrade. It's easy to set up and has intuitive controls, with seven preset functions that span from air frying and roasting, to grilling and baking.

It also has the ability to cook 30% faster than a conventional oven, which is useful for keeping energy costs down. Some of the dials are a little stiff and the volume timer is very quiet. But the cooking results were excellent, and our apple & almond cake turned out especially well.

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.

Cosori Dual Blaze Smart air-fryer

Best air-fryer for all-round even cooking without shaking

Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart air-fryer review

Star rating: 4.5/5

This Cosori air-fryer is built with clever technology that allows for even browning on both sides, which means you don't need to shake or stir your ingredients as they cook. The 360 ThermoIQ technology and thick aluminium baskets also help food to cook more quickly.

It comes with 12 presets, including vegetables and fries, as well as chicken, steak and seafood. We also liked its compact, tall design and easy-to-use touchscreen, and the fact you can operate it from a smartphone is an extra fun bonus.

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.

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.

Tefal ActiFry Genius XL high res with star buy badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

Distinct and striking in design, this circular-shaped air fryer includes containers and baskets for multi-level cooking. In test, we achieved good results with very little oil. And the central paddle inside ensures food is evenly coated and evenly cooked.

We particularly liked the large window on top of the lid, which allowed us to check on the progress without interfering with the cooking process. Read the full Tefal ActiFry Genius XL review.

HySapientia 15-litre air-fryer oven

Hysapientia 15L

Star rating: 4/5

If you're looking for an air-fryer with a large capacity and the ability to cook a variety of ingredients at the same time, this Hysapientia model is a great choice. You'll need a decent amount of space to store this model, or be willing to give up some countertop space for it to live permanently. Cooking results were mixed, but if you're happy to put in some trial and error, you'll soon master its quirks.

Swan Duo air-fryer

Star rating: 4/5

Featuring two four-litre drawers, this air-fryer is a brilliant choice if you've got a number of mouths to feed or you like to cook for a crowd. Its interface is less sophisticated than some of the other models we've tested, but the test recipes cooked well on the whole, and excelled on our halloumi test.

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.
