How to choose the best air fryer deal
Before you snap up an air fryer deal in the Presidents' Day sales, first decide on the size that suits you. Here's my guide to choosing:
Small air fryers are a practical choice for petite kitchens. Typically ranging from 2 to 4 quarts, they are ideal for preparing two or three fish fillets, side dishes or snacks. They are also easy to hide away in cupboards when not in use.
A larger, 6-quart air fryer is great for families, allowing you to cook bigger portions for around 4-5 people. They tend to come with more functions (like dehydrating or baking) and they naturally take up more countertop space
If you want to make a full meal in the air fryer, you need a dual-basket air fryer. This design allows you to cook two different dishes at once, saving time, effort, and keeping flavors separate. This option is ideal for big families and busy individuals.
If your kitchen is cluttered with multiple appliances, you might want to replace them with a multifunctional air fryer. These versatile machines can do almost everything, like steaming, grilling, roasting, and more. A cost-effective and space-saving choice.
If you're a health-conscious cook, who wants to prepare worry-free meals, choose one of the best non-toxic air fryers. They are free from potentially harmful non-stick linings, using materials like ceramic or stainless steel instead.
When to shop the best air fryer deals
Presidents' Day air fryer deals
With the holiday sales over and done with, you might think there's nothing to look forward to. But the Presidents' Day sales bring some very decent air fryer deals. Many retailers continue their discount strategies into the new year, giving you the chance to pick up a high-quality air fryer at a fraction of its original price.
In recent years, we’ve also seen discounts on premium air fryer models that didn’t sell out before Christmas, giving you another opportunity to snag that top-tier model you've had your eye on at an even lower price.
The beginning of the year is an ideal time to stock up on healthy kitchen essentials, including air fryer deals, as many people focus on refreshing their diets and re-energizing for the new year ahead.
Amazon Prime Day air fryer deals
It's way too hot to use my oven in summer, so Amazon Prime Day might be my favorite time of year to score the best air fryer deals. Held annually in mid-July (with an additional event in October), Prime Day offers steep discounts across Amazon’s wide selection of air fryers and air fryer accessories, too.
Last Prime Day, I spotted savings of up to 40% on my favorite Dreo Chef Maker, as well as deep discounts on Ninja, Instant Pot, Cosori, and Philips. Prime members enjoy perks like early access to lightning deals and additional discounts on select items, while non-members can get a free 30-day trial, making it easy for everyone to take advantage of the air fryer deals and enjoy Amazon’s speedy delivery.
Labor Day air fryer deals
Labor Day isn't just a day off work – it's an excellent time to shop for air fryers, with sales often extending through the entire holiday weekend and into early September. As one of the last big sales events before the holiday shopping season, Labor Day deals some discounts for around 20-30% off.
Back to school air fryer deals
At the end of August and beginning of September, you're likely to see prices drop (just a little) on air fryer models from top brands like Ninja and Instant. If you missed out on the bigger Prime Day or Labor Day savings, this is still a good time to shop. Especially if you're looking for a small, cheap air fryer for a dorm room.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday air fryer deals
Many retailers save the best until last. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are renowned for the best air fryer deals of the year. Major retailers will slash prices, and top kitchen brands will offer substantial discounts and bundles, making these days the perfect opportunity to grab an air fryer deal without overspending. Last year, I saw discounts of up to 50% off on my favorite models (listed above).
If you miss Black Friday, Cyber Monday is a second chance to secure discounts across leading brands like Ninja, Philips, and Cosori. Sometimes, we even see a prolonged 'Cyber Week' – although the savings don't stay quite as high. That's why I wouldn't leave it to the last minute. Black Friday itself is your best chance to find discounts on everything from basic models to high-end, multi-functional air fryers.
