What size air fryer should I buy?
The smallest air fryers we've tested can hold up to 800g of food – about four portions of chips and roughly equivalent to the amount of food you can fit on two baking trays in an oven.
If you typically only cook for four people or fewer, any of the air fryers we've tested should be big enough. But if you want the option of using the air fryer to cook for more people – or you just have a particularly hungry household – air fryers such as the Tefal Actifry 2 in 1 or Tefal Actifry Express XL can fit almost twice as much (1.5kg).

How to buy the best air fryer
This list of buying questions will help you narrow down your options and ensure you get the best air fryer for your needs:
- Do you value the fried food taste above all else?We find that foods made in an air fryer, and chips in particular, do have a fried quality. But if you're used to deep-fried food, then you won't be fooled: most people can taste the difference.
- How much food do you typically cook?Most air fryers can cook around 800g (around four to six portions) of chips. Some can manage up to twice as much. If you have lots of people to cater for, opt for a larger capacity, or a model with double-level cooking or a second compartment.
- How much free worktop space or cupboard space do you have?Some air fryers are huge and heavy. The Ninja OP450UK is 36cm high and 42cm wide, and weighs 10kg out of the box. Some also come with lots of extra accessories that you'll need to find storage for. We always list power cable length in our reviews because it can determine how close you'll need to place your air fryer to a socket.
- Do you prefer digital or manual controls?Digital models can make it easier to see how much cooking time is left. Some air fryer models come with smartphone control via an app.
- Do you own a dishwasher? If you have a dishwasher, choosing a model with dishwasher-safe parts will help save on cleaning time.
- How much are you willing to spend?Basic air fryers start from around £60, but models with extra features – such as multiple compartments – can set you back well over £200. The cheapest models will usually have a smaller capacity, too.
Air fryer types explained
Basket-type air fryers
This is the most common type of air fryer. They have a cooking bowl or basket with a handle, so you can shake your food during cooking. This helps ensure the food cooks evenly and makes it easy to lift out of the air fryer once it's ready.
Sometimes they come with a stirring paddle, though we’ve found this doesn't always make for better results.
Pros
- Generally cheaper than oven-type air fryers.
- The handle on the bowl makes it simple to turn your food.
- Normally straightforward to use.
Cons
- You can't usually check on the progress of your food without stopping the air fryer and pulling the basket out.
- Cheaper basket models may lack additional functions such as preset programs.
- Often smaller in capacity than oven-type air fryers or multicookers.
Take a look at our basket air fryer reviews to see all of the models we've tested.
Oven-type air fryers
Oven-type air fryers come with one or multiple trays to place your food on and slot into the machine for cooking.
Most have a viewing window on the front so you can keep an eye on your food without disturbing the cooking process.
Pros
- Multiple trays mean you can cook several types of food at the same time.
- Are usually versatile and come with several preset programs.
- Most have a viewing window.
Cons
- Usually more expensive than the basket type.
- May take some time to get used to.
- Can be large and bulky.

Air fryers vs multicookers
Right now, countertop cooking appliances are becoming bigger, bulkier and more feature-laden as they take on a multitude of cooking tasks, from air frying and pressure cooking, to steaming and slow cooking.
We’ve tested several pressure cookers and multicookers that also have an air fryer function, such as the Ninja OP350UK and the . These have separate lids for pressure cooking and air frying, and do a number of other jobs, too.
All this versatility comes at a price though, so consider whether you’ll really use all the features. If you just want to cook batches of chips and the odd chicken drumstick, a simpler, cheaper air fryer will do the job just as well.
We compare the top air fryer brands in Ninja Foodi vs Tower Air Fryer vs Tefal Actifry.
Best air fryer features to consider
Don't pay over the odds for features that you'll rarely use. Consider this list before before you decide on a model.
Digital timer
All air fryers have timers that allow you to set how long you want your food to cook for, and show you how much cooking time is left. Some, such as the Philips Viva Airfryer and Russell Hobbs Purifry, have manual dials that you turn to set the time, but most other air fryers, including the Tefal Actifry, have digital timers instead. A digital timer can make it easier to see at a glance how much time is left on the clock.
Dishwasher-safe parts

Preset cooking programs
Grill– which give you the option of grilling your food instead of air frying it, handy for cooking things like meat and fish.

Where to buy an air fryer
The buzz around air fryers means that popular models have been difficult to come by recently.
To help you find your choice, we've picked out a handful of the most searched-for sellers that have a wide range air fryers in stock.
- Amazon offers hundreds of air fryers from brands including Instant Pot, Tower, Tefal and Ninja, which will usually set you back between £90 and £150. Free two-day shipping is included for Prime members, otherwise you'll have to wait a little longer for free standard shipping for orders over £20.
- Argos stocks a few options, but most cost over £100. You can order models for free click and collect from most UK stores. Otherwise, you can order home delivery for an extra £3.95 for delivery between 8am to 5pm, or £5.95 for evening delivery between 6pm and 10pm.
- George at Asda might have a smaller range of air fryers than other retailers, but they are more budget-friendly, costing between £55 and £100. It mostly stocks Tower, Salter, Daewoo, and its own-brand air fryers. Click and collect is free from most UK stores. Standard delivery costs from £2.95 and you need it sooner, next-day delivery starts from £4.95.
- Costco members can pick up air fryers at a discount, but since it stocks primarily high-end models, you'll still need to spend nearly £200. Its selection of air fryers is more limited than other stores, but it does carry high-end brands like Sage and Cuisinart. Shipping is included in the price. If you're not a Costco member, memberships can cost as little as £15 per year if you're only doing online shopping.

Can an air fryer save money on your electricity bills?
Yes. An air fryer can save you money, but it depends on the size of your air fryer and how many people you’re cooking for.
The main drawback with the air fryer is the amount of food you can cook. The cooking capacity of the air fryers we’ve tested ranges from 0.3kg and 2.2kg, a huge variance, so choose a model that caters for your needs.
In general, small households cooking single batches of food will benefit most. As an alternative to switching on a full-sized oven several times a week to cook a meal for two, the benefits really stack up.
However, if you’re feeding several people, or want to cook a few different food items at the same time, an oven has more space and may work out cheaper than cooking several batches in an air fryer.
Air fryer v halogen oven v electric oven
To help you decide whether an air fryer is a worthwhile investment, we cooked 320g of chips (two to three portions) in an air fryer, a halogen oven and a built-in electric oven.
We found that the air fryer was quicker to heat up, cooked faster and used less energy, although the quality of cooking was slightly worse than in either of the ovens.
If you're a smaller household, an air fryer may save you money if you use it several times a week instead of a built-in electric oven.
| Air fryer | Halogen oven | Built-in electric oven | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooking time | 23 minutes | 35 minutes | 33 minutes |
| Energy used to cook | 0.287kWh | 0.679kWh | 0.863kWh |
| Cost to cook | 10p | 23p | 29p |
| Saving (compared to electric oven) | 19p cheaper | 6p cheaper | n/a |
| Quality of cooking (out of 5) | 3 – some cooked perfectly but the chips at the bottom were undercooked | 3.5 – some chips were overcooked and some were undercooked | 3.5 – inconsistent cooking as some chips were too crispy |

What can you cook in an air fryer?
Any food that does well when roasted, baked or fried will do well in your air fryer.
As well as chicken and chips, other popular choices include potatoes, roasted vegetables, falafel, fish, pizza and even baked goods such as cookies and cakes.
Air fryers can also be useful for quickly cooking and crisping up frozen foods and snacks such as fish fingers, chicken nuggets, spring rolls and pies.
Things you should avoid putting in your air fryer include fresh greens, cheese and any food covered in wet batter. Cooking whole roasts such as roast chicken can also be problematic, so joint your bird first before frying.
Some air fryer manufacturers offer starter recipes to get you going: take a look at these Ninja Foodi recipes and Philips recipes.

Can you repair a broken air fryer?
If you're out of warranty then getting your air fryer replaced can be very expensive, so much so that it's worthwhile wondering if you should even bother. Air fryers have fairly short guarantees, usually one or two years, so you'll only be covered for a brief period of time after purchase.
Some manufacturers sell spare parts for air fryers, but for the most part you can only buy parts that are readily accessible and easily exchanged. Buying spare racks and baskets is easy, but internal components are generally too hard to access and not sold separately.
- Ninja sells parts like baskets and racks for their air fryers, though no internal components.
- Philips sells dials, handles, baskets, racks and more.
- Tefal has a fairly extensive spare parts shop, though for air fryers, you're only likely to be able to get spare paddles, baskets, drawers, components that are readily accessible.
- Tower sell pots, lids, baskets, thermometers, pressure regulators and more.
As a general rule, if you've broken something detachable from your air fryer then you might be in luck. If something more complicated has gone wrong, like an internal component has stopped working or if performance has nosedived because of the heating element or the fan, then you'll probably need to take it in for repair if it's not a simpler fix.
If your air fryer is beyond repair, take it to your local council recycling/reuse centre. Use Recycle Now’s recycling locator to find your nearest one.

Air-frying also produces high temperatures at a very rapid rate, thus making it extremely easy to burn food. And charred food may be carcinogenic. In addition, Cucuzza adds, because most devices cook 1 to 3 pounds of food at a time, it can be challenging to air-fry meals for a large family.
