When air fryers first entered the culinary scene a few years ago, I thought they were a gimmick. They seemed like a fad that would quickly fall out of fashion.
Years later - and dozens of air fryer reviews later - I have to concede that these appliances are life changers; I use mine every day. They make it quick and easy to cook a huge range of different foods with less oil than frying or roasting.
This isn't just sales bluster to get you to click. I'm a trained chef, so I know exactly what good food looks like. I've tried dozens of air fryers, so I know firsthand which products are worth your time, and which are fairly priced and offer genuine discounts. The rest of the team is the same, with dozens of air fryers under their belts.
Black Friday deals are winding down for Cyber Monday, so this is your last chance to get a discounted air fryer until the New Year. We track prices throughout the year, so we know which too-good-to-be-true deals are lies and which are actually worth your money. 2024 has seen much better deals than last year, so you may not see these discounts again. I'm monitoring the deals minute-by-minute, so I can let you know immediately if a new deal lands or a price suddenly drops.

Our favorite air fryer deals
After trawling through thousands of deals, these are the best deals on my favorite tested air fryers. These are the best air fryers you can buy - ignore deals on anything else.
One of our old favorites is now ridiculously cheap. We love this air fryer. It's fast, compact, and simple. It won't steam your veggies or tell you the doneness of your meat like fancier air fryers, but it's perfect for throwing in some frozen fries for a quick dinner after work.
Our pick for the best non-toxic air fryer is also on sale. It has a stainless-steel basket with none of the PFOA concerns of other air fryers. It blew us away on test; it's technically a multicooker, but the air fryer is so good that it's like an air fryer with a ridiculous amount of bonus features. If you want an air fryer that can also slow cook, sous-vide, and even make yogurt, this is the one.
I'm back with another deal. I just found this generous discount on Ninja's smallest air fryer. The traditional black colorway is sold out, but I actually really like the white option (I'm not so convinced about the bright red and blue...)
The round, 4QT basket is best suited to couples or individuals. This size can fit two portions of salmon, some French fries, or vegetables. I recommended this deal to my sister, as she's a student who is short on time and space.
Ninja vs Instant Pot - which is a better two-drawer air fryer?
If you asked us last year, we would've given the win to Instant Pot. The Instant Pot Vortex Plus XL is an incredibly efficient two-drawer air fryer, the two-drawer version of the Instant Vortex Plus, our favorite air fryer.
But Ninja snatched the crown with the DoubleStack. It offers more food in a sleeker countertop footprint. It can nestle between cookbooks and cereal boxes in a way that the Instant air fryer can't. That's unbeatable.
There's very little difference between the two for cooking quality, though the Ninja is slightly faster.
For more information on these deals, take a look at this comparison table.
Coming in hot with a celebrity endorsement, we've got a $30 discount on Brooke Shields' air fryer. I've shopped around Target and Walmart but I found the deepest discount on Amazon.
Some of the best air fryers are multipurpose machines. Here's my favorite countertop oven from KitchenAid, now with a $60 discount at Amazon.
I've just spotted a deep discount on one of the best air fryers for beginners. With a four-quart capacity, the Instant Essentials Air Fryer is slightly on the smaller side, but ideally sized for small families. Plus, it's super-easy and intuitive to use.
What makes an air fryer toxic?
As a trained chef and H&G's resident Kitchens Editor, I'm often asked: 'are air fryers toxic?' My research shows that air fryers can be toxic if you ingest some of non-stick coating, but only if that coating is damaged by scrubbing or scratching. I suggest you steer clear of non-stick chemicals, such as PTFE, PFOA, PFOS, and BPA, in favor of ceramic and stainless steel.
For your peace of mind, I've ranked and reviewed six of the best non-toxic air fryers. One of my favorites is listed for less on Amazon this Black Friday. Last night, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp was selling for $149.95, but now that deal has dropped by another $50 to $99.94.
If you're working with limited counter space, or you're stuck in a small kitchen, then you need a smaller air fryer. The Instant Vortex Slim is designed to fit in narrow nooks, though it's deceptively capacious.
What is a French door air fryer?
A French door air fryer looks a lot like a French door refrigerator in miniature: double doors with two vertical handles in the middle for easy access. A French door air fryer tends to be large and long, taking up about as much counter space as a convection oven.
Double doors means more glass and greater visibility, so it's easier to monitor your food and make sure you don't overcook it. I've tested dozens of air fryers, and I prefer French doors for kitchen safety: you're less likely to burn your wrists and forearms when you open the doors.
If you're catering for a large family, or you want to make bigger portions to eat now or save for later, then you need a bigger air fryer. This dual-basket model makes crispy fries and tender veg and reheats frozen food just right.
Air fryer accessories – how to make the most of your air fryer
Recently, I compiled a kitchen gift guide for the holidays and I tracked down all the little extras that make air-fried food taste that much better.
I know it's called 'air frying', but my fries come out crispier when I use a little bit of olive oil. I don't pour it straight into the basket: that would defeat the entire point of air frying. Instead, I spray a few squirts of olive oil onto the bottom of the basket to help my food retain moisture and stop it from sticking to the basket.
For quick and convenient clean-up, I like to use air fryer liners for single-serve breakfasts and desserts. I use silicone liners, because they're reusable, and easy to clean in a bowl of warm, soapy water.
That's me signing off for the night. I'll be back in the morning, checking all the prices on the hottest products, and bringing you the best air fryer deals before the Black Friday rush.
Yesterday, I said that Black Friday deals are looking a lot better than last year's, in terms of breadth of deals and depth of discounts. That's still true, but I didn't notice a big drop in prices overnight. The price on the world's best air fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus, has actually risen in the last few hours (only by a few cents, though, and it's still a steal).
Morning, everyone. Chef Lydia here back to bring you more of the best air fryer deals.
Often, the bigger the air fryer, the more expensive it is. You're paying for enhanced cooking capacity and maybe a few more cooking pre-sets or special features. That's why you should always snap up a discount on a large air fryer when you see one. This deal went live in the UK yesterday, and now it's available for our US readers.
You'll get more from your money this Black Friday when you shop a multipurpose machine. As a trained chef, I appreciate the versatility of something like the Ninja Combi Multicooker. It comes with no fewer than 14 functions: you can cook rice, sear steak, steam vegetables, and proof bread in this thing.
Ninja vs Cosori - who makes the best air fryers?
We think Ninja makes better air fryers. Our favorite Ninjas are faster, cooks more food, and have more functions. However, lots of Cosori air fryers have an Alexa connection, so if that kind of functionality is important to you, I'd go with Cosori.
However, Cosori has seen several issues in the past few years. Which? recently claimed that their air fryers collect personal data, and last year, millions of Cosori air fryers were recalled.
If you're prepared to sacrifice some functionality, I've just caught a great deal on one of our favorite non-toxic air fryers. It's an older model, but it's still a great appliance.
One of the best ways to save money is to buy refurbished old appliances. They're often just as good as newer models, but you can save a lot of money.
One of the best ways to save money on air fryer deals is to size down. Air fryers can hold a surprising amount of food, so you don't always need that 10-quart behemoth. Sometimes, a smaller air fryer works just as well while saving you more money.
You can also save money by choosing a refurbished air fryer - the air fryer below is an excellent example:
The popularity of air fryers means that companies push out lots of different versions of the same basic model. This means that models with tiny differences - a slight bigger drawer or function - can be much cheaper than their most recent iteration. For example:
Again, older air fryers can be a smart choice, because while their performance hasn't changed, they've been knocked down the pecking order by newer models, so they're much cheaper than they used to be.
If you're an air fryer beginner or somebody who lives alone, this mini model could be the one for you! I'm usually not as keen on round air fryers, since a square or rectangular basket will offer better cooking space. However, this Ninja performs well and it's affordable. Let's hope you're looking for a bold appliance too – cherry red is supposed to be in for 2025, I hear!
I've spent months researching the best non-toxic air fryers, and recently, the brand Bella caught my attention. While I haven’t tested it yet, its ceramic coating is notably free from PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, and cadmium – important features for anyone prioritizing safer cookware.
Before I log off for the evening, I wanted to leave you with some clear advice, in case you're still on the fence! If you're torn between the Ninja and Instant deals on my list, here’s my verdict:
Instant makes the best value, small air fryers with viewing windows. They are affordable and easy for beginners to use, but not quite as glamorous as Ninja.
However, Ninja makes the best big air fryers with premium features. A winner for large family-sized portions, Ninja is slightly more expensive, but more premium with high-quality interfaces and controls.
Below are the best models from both brands – you absolutely can't go wrong with either of these. With Black Friday passing by quickly, time is running out! I'll be back tomorrow with more updates.
Hello again! Black Friday may be behind us, but the deals are far from over. Brands like Ninja are keeping the momentum going with weekend-long sales of up to 48%. Plus, retailers like Amazon are already rolling out early Cyber Monday deals.
It’s the perfect time to sit back with tea or coffee and browse the latest price drops. Personally, I'm going to check off some holiday gifting while I'm at it.
I’ll be back shortly with some top air fryer deals that make fantastic gifts, along with must-have accessories and bundle options you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned.
When I asked my friends what was on their Christmas list, one of them said, 'Anything Beautiful by Drew Barrymore.' It’s easy to see why – Drew's designs combine a classy matte finish, golden accents, and cute pastel colors. We loved the air fryer when we tested it; the food was crispy and the hidden touchscreen transforms into a minimalist blank slate when turned off. It’s a very thoughtful gift that blends beauty with everyday practicality.
I tested this electric grill in the summer and thought it was fantastic. You might be thinking... Lydia, I thought we were talking about air fryers! Well, this has an amazing air fry function, too. You can quickly crisp up fries and vegetables, or even bake bread in your own backyard.
I gifted this air fryer to my mom in the Autumn (along with a glass oil spray bottle). I wish I got it on sale with this $70 discount. It's the winner of the 'best dual-drawer air fryer' category on my best air fryer 2024 guide.
My mom loves it and has been experimenting with recipes. She tends to use the smaller basket for salmon fillets and the larger one for roasted vegetables. She tells me that her attempt at roasted aubergine didn't go well (I agree, this is often a bit dried out in the air fryer without a marinade) but other than that, major success!
Another deal from Philips, which is shaping up to be my favorite air fryer brand, along with Ninja. I haven't tested their new air fryer yet (since it's been out of stock) but the $170 price drop is too good not to share.
There's a surprising number of things to consider when purchasing an air fryer. If you're thinking of picking one up this weekend, you should stop and think about what you need first.
- How many people do you need to feed?
- How big is your kitchen?
- Do you like to use a dishwasher, or will you be ok hand-washing every element?
I've rounded up the most common buying mistakes here, along with four suggestions on air fryers for your unique needs and kitchen requirements. After all, you don't want to fall into the common air fryer buying mistakes and find yourself scrambling for a replacement next year!
To help prolong the life of your air fryer (and to help minimize mess and scrubbing when using and cleaning it) I highly recommend purchasing air fryer liners.
These handy air fryer accessories provide a protective layer to your appliance, by catching residual cooking oil and crumbs, helping to make cleaning quicker and easier.
I round up the very best air fryer liners in my separate guide, but here are two Black Friday deals I've spotted on air fryer liners on Amazon.
If you're looking for a Black Friday deal on one of the best non-toxic air fryers, then look no further. I love the stylish, retro-inspired design of the Our Place Wonder Oven, and it not only looks good, it works as an impressive multifunctional appliance that can air fry, bake, broil, toast, roast, and reheat food, too!
Before I sign off for the evening, I'm bringing you one last air fryer deal. I've already included this model in my favorite air fryer deal list above, but I'm shining a light on it once again as it really is the best air fryer I've ever tested – and you can now save $90 in Amazon's Cyber Monday sale...go go go!
Good Morning! Lydia here again, and I'll be back with you throughout the day to bring you all of the very latest Black Friday (imminently shifting to Cyber Monday) deals on air fryers.
To kick things off, I thought I would highlight one of the most important accessories to always have on hand when using an air fryer: a trusty pair of silicone tongs.
Metal utensils + a non-stick surface = a no go – especially if you want to make your air fryer last longer. While many of your air fryer-cooked foods can be poured out of the basket onto plates, I find that a pair of silicone tongs helps to move more delicate food, like air-fried chicken or salmon fillets, with no mess.
As a trained chef, I appreciate the versatility of something like the Ninja Combi Multicooker – and you'll get more from your money this Black Friday when you shop a multipurpose machine.
The Ninja Combi comes with no fewer than 14 functions: you can cook rice, sear steak, steam vegetables, and proof bread in this thing.
The versatile KitchenAid Digital Countertop Oven With Air Fry is ideal for large households, our expert tester, Jaclyn, referred to it as 'a complete kitchen in one'. The oven can dehydrate, proof, bagel, roast, bake, broil, warm, and, of course, air fry. This deal even comes with a pizza stone!
Now, shopping the Black Friday sales can sometimes be quite an overwhelming and confusing experience, especially at this point in the weekend, as many retailers will start to switch up their Black Friday messaging to 'Cyber Monday'. So, if you're wondering what's the difference and if you should wait for deal drops tomorrow, here is a short snippet of advice.
Plenty of retailers are still embracing 'Black Friday' language but you'll soon start to see a switch up to 'Cyber Monday' (the Monday following the Black Friday weekend is renowned for big discounts on tech). However, after covering Black Friday sales for many years here at H&G, we can tell you that prices usually stay the same on air fryers. So if you have your eye on a particular model and are working out whether to wait until Cyber Monday, my advice is to not bother, and make the most of the discounts now.
Amazon has already launched its 'Cyber Monday' event, but prices on air fryers are still looking pretty much the same as they have been all weekend. However, I'll be keeping my eye on other retailers today and tomorrow to serve up the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals still available.
I resisted getting an air fryer for years because I thought they were ugly. I put too much thought into curating my kitchen to bring some clunky piece of plastic in the mix. The Our Place Wonder Oven is pretty enough to change my mind: it oozes retro charm.
Although I'm a trained chef, I don't always feel like standing in front of the stove for hours of an evening. Sometimes, I like to make my machines do the work for me. When this budget-friendly buy from Instant takes over, I can sit back and relax.
This is our best-selling air fryer in the Black Friday deals, and I can understand the appeal. This multipurpose machine is energy-efficient, quick to cook and easy to use, and it's excellent value.
This air fryer is an Amazon fan-favorite, with 70,000 verified five-star reviews. 'The basket size isn't the large 5+ quart capacity like the bigger fryers, (Ninja is only 4qt), but this thing cooks so fast you won't miss the extra 1 qt,' says one recent reviewer. 'The first night I had it I made wings and I tell you that I will NEVER buy fried chicken again.'
Hey there! Hebe with you for a few hours to hunt for the best air fryer and countertop ovens that you don't want to miss this Black Friday.
The much-hyped Paris Rhone 5.3qt currently looks to be out of stock in most places, but I will keep an eye out for any restocks and great deals. In the meantime, if you are after a super affordable air fryer that has that same great function of a window to view your food as it's cooking, this offer from Target is a steal.
The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 came up tops in our pick of the best Ninja air fryers. It's speedy, really easy to use, easy to clean and you can cook two dishes at once. It's currently in stock and on offer with 40% off at Amazon.
The Ninja double stack comes out third in our guide to the best air fryers and for its compact size, we found you could cook up to four different things at once. The sell for me is that the drawers are dishwasher safe so clean up is so simple.
I cannot stop singing the praises of the Our Place Wonder Oven. I mentioned it earlier but just in case you missed it, this non-toxic air fryer is a powerhouse of an appliance.
If you are health-conscious, and want Teflon-free air fryers for safer, healthier cooking, than this is one of the best options on the market. You won't regret investing in one...
Good morning, everyone. It's Cyber Monday, so we're looking at the last few deals of the Black Friday rush. You can sometimes find lower prices than we found on Black Friday, but stock is much more limited, so you need to be fast.
I've woken up to some huge price drops overnight - including on our favorite air fryer:
Just as I predicted in the introduction, Cyber Monday is seeing big discounts on some great air fryers - in some cases lower than they were on Black Friday:
Another huge discount for Cyber Money, the Dreo Chefmaker is now on sale for the best price we've seen.
There are lots of deals dropping for Cyber Monday that we didn't see over Black Friday or the weekend. For example, the Beautiful 9 quart is now on sale for almost as little as the 6 quart version though we weren't entirely convinced by it on test:
Lots of celebrity air fryers are seeing discounts today. It's not just Drew Barrymore - Paris Hilton is getting in on the action too.
Amazon isn't the only place to find good deals. Williams Sonoma have a range of good deals on Philips and Breville appliances.
It looked like Ninja's deals were winding down for the day, but I've just caught an incredible deal on one of Ninja's best air fryers. It's one of their largest models and comes with a thermometer but it's somehow cheaper than their other air fryers. You need to be fast before this deal runs out:
You can also save money on combination toaster oven/air fryer hybrids. One of our favorites, the Café Couture Oven, is now on sale for the lowest price we've ever seen:
Outside of sales season, I'd expect to spend at least $100 to get a decent air fryer. I can't quite believe the Ninja AF101 (one of our top-rated models, by the way) is selling for just $69 at Target (it just went out of stock at Macy's).
The French door air fryer is the hot new appliance trend. You get double doors, which means more visibility and more space, and I think it looks more luxe, too.
Before I sign off for the night, I wanted to bring you a deep discount on one of my favorite appliances. I first sampled this air fryer in our test lab. I liked it so much that I bought one to use at home. I use it almost every day to cook up sides or desserts while I work on the main event.
