14 Best Air Fryers (Review) In 2021

Let’s start with our best choice: Cosori CP158-AF Air Fryer. One of the things you should look for in an air fryer is the basket capacity. What makes this air fryer ideal is that the extra-large, non-stick basket can fit a whole 6lb chicken. The basket is removable and dishwasher safe. As air frying does not require oil, this means that your Sunday roast is healthier. It’s not just limited to a whole chicken. Air fryers are useful for a wide range of foods, and this has eleven settings which you are encouraged to experiment with, including steak, seafood, frozen food, and vegetables. Simply select your setting on the touch screen and let the air fryer do its job. Cook time is faster than a conventional oven, and the flavor is not at risk because there’s a delightful crisp to every bite. If you’re stuck for inspiration, this model includes a rights reserved recipe booklet with one hundred original recipes to experiment with, as well as access to an online cooking community. The streamlined, slim design means it will fit neatly onto your countertop, saving space, hence why we had no problem selecting it as one of the best options currently available.

Our next selection for this list was chosen for its innovative touch screen menu: GoWISE USA GW22731 Air Fryer. This model includes a start/stop button, which makes it easier to control your cooking up to thirty minutes. As well, you can take control of the temperature settings by adjusting them through the touchscreen. Besides, you can activate the built-in alarm, which will alert you when cooking is finished. Everything you cook will be just as delicious without the extra calories from traditional oil frying. It doesn’t get much better than this! The eight pre-set controls include the usual steak and shrimp, as well as unconventional air fryer recipes such as cake and pizza! If you would like more information on how this sleek and modern air fryer can achieve such a thin, refer to the included cookbook! If you would like more interactivity than just turning it on, you can shake the non-stick pan and add a little movement to your fare. If having the best appliances is important to you, then you will certainly appreciate this unique and popular model.

This next air fryer takes third place because of its excellent value. Achieve perfection in healthy eating with the Chefman Turbofry. Everything comes out healthy, crispy, and fried using 98% less oil than a traditional fryer. The Turbofry’s compact size saves space on your countertop or other small space where you happen to be frying. This comes with versatile temperature control, which you can handle manually, and the detachable 2L basket is BPA-free. The basket and tray are both removable for easy cleaning.

Our premium selection is the Phillips Airfryer XXL. True to its name, the XXL has a 3lb capacity which is large enough for a whole chicken or two bags of French fries. What makes this our premium pick? It is the only air fryer with fat removal technology, so your food is not only even healthier and as crispy as anything deep-fried. It’s ready to go in seconds, cooking up to four times faster than a traditional oven. There is no preheating required, and it comes equipped with multi-cooking technology.

Most of the parts are removable and dishwasher safe, and the basket it quick-clean to save time!

And the award for extra-large capacity goes to… Ninja AF101 Air Fryer! Guilt-free food has never tasted so good. This would be ideal for folks who enjoy hosting dinner parties, as the non-stick basket has a 4qt capacity, and the crisper plate can fit 2lbs of whatever you have chosen to fry. The temperature range is quite extensive, hitting up to 400F, and gently removes moisture from food. This will need to preheat for about three minutes before it is hot enough to use, but trust us, it will be worth it! If you feel like having a bit of fun, you can use the dehydrate function for homemade snacks. The basket is easy to clean, and the crisper plate and rack are both dishwasher safe.

However, we would like to take a moment to highlight the Dash Deluxe, whose auto-shutoff feature is so precise that you could forget about your meal for an hour, and return to find it perfectly cooked (we do not recommend that you forget about your food for an hour). This fryer uses air crisp technology to reduce the fat content by up to 80%, without compromising the flavor of your favorite food. The basket has a 6qt capacity, meaning you can make an abundance of whatever you have chosen to cook. Have a look at the included recipe book if you lack inspiration.
