The best air fryer deals are starting to arrive for Labor Day. If you're investing in your first air fryer, or you want to upgrade to a new, dual-drawer model, now is the time to do it.

I've scrolled through the early Labor Day sales over the last 24 hours and found some of the best air fryers on the market have already been reduced. You can pick up a Ninja, Cosori, or an Instant model for up to 30% off.

The air fryers on this list have been tested and approved by our experts. I've sorted them into the best small air fryers, the best large air fryers for families, dual-drawers, multi-functional models and my personal favorites – the best non-toxic air fryers. Whatever shape or size you're looking for, you're sure to find the best air fryer for your needs here.

Where to shop

If you want to get straight into shopping for yourself, here are the best places to buy an air fryer before Labor Day kicks off.

The best small air fryer deals

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!

The best large air fryer deals

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 grilling or baking) and they naturally take up more countertop space.

The best dual basket air fryer deals

If you want to make a full meal in the air fryer, you need two baskets. 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.

The best multi-functional air fryer deals

If your kitchen is cluttered with multiple appliances, you might want to replace them with a versatile air fryer. These multi-functional models can do almost everything. A cost-effective and space-saving choice.

The best non-toxic air fryer deals

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 instead.

FAQs

When is a good time to buy an air fryer?

Early Labor Day air fryer deals are great because you can snag a top model before they sell out. Otherwise, it's worth waiting for another nationwide sale, such as Black Friday, Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and New Year. These are the best times to snag a serious saving, because all retailers reduce their prices to compete with each other. We'll keep you up to date on all the best offers whenever these sales are on.

When is Labor Day?

This year, Labor Day falls on September 2nd. It'll be the next best time to grab an air fryer deal. Watch this space for more details on what to shop and when to shop them.
