Best Air Fryer deals

If you’re on the hunt for an air fryer, we can offer some advice.

Whenever you’re looking, you’ll be able to find a great deal. Still, there are obviously key times of the year to buy, such as in November during the run-up to Black Friday, on Black Friday itself and through into Cyber Monday, and during the Christmas and January sales.

There are also more specific sales for this type of product. Typically, there are great small appliances deals to be had around Easter.

In between these times, retailers will discount older models or have their own clearance sales. If you’re looking to buy, visit some of the retailers listed below, search for air fryers and see what’s available.

Which air fryer should you buy?

But when you’re ready to buy, don’t go for the first thing you spot. Start by making a list of your needs. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. How much space can you spare? You’ll need a dedicated spot on your counter to get the most from your air fryer.
   
2. How many are you cooking for? Air fryers come in a variety of sizes. In some ways, it makes sense to get the largest one you have space for, although there’s one caveat. One of the key reasons to use an air fryer over an oven is to save on electricity. Larger air fryers tend to be more power-hungry, which will erase some of your savings.
   
3. Would a multifunctional appliance be a better buy? Some air fryers also steam, grill, slow- or pressure-cooker, or function as a rice cooker. You could save space in your kitchen by buying an appliance that performs different types of cooking.

When you’re weighing up options, give weight to trusted brands such as Ninja and Instant. It may be worth paying a little more for an appliance from one of those names than an unknown brand.
