The Dreo offers special 'Chef Modes', so you can cook the juiciest steaks and seafood at the touch of a button. If you're only looking to fry chips and nuggets, it might be too pricey.

Right now, Cosori air fryers are among the best-sellers on Amazon. This compact model has tons of functionality, but it's never more than $100. We found it quick and effective, just slightly too powerful.
This Cosori Pro Air Fryer review has more details.
This was top of our best air fryer buying guide for a while. I recently replaced it with the bigger (yet more space-efficient) Ninja DoubleStack above. However, it's still a great air fryer, perfect for large portions, and it's likely to be discounted in the sales this season.
Another Instant success, we rated this multi-cooker 5-stars for its exceptional air fryer function. It can sauté, slow cook, sous vide and steam, too.
Our Instant Pot Duo Crisp review has all the detail.
The Max XL isn't the best air fryer on the market, but it's often a steal in the sales. It's super speedy, non-toxic and very compact, too.

This is the most basic model on our list, but it made the best roast asparagus we've ever tested. It's cheap and petite. A solid choice for students or individuals.

How to choose the best air fryer deal
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
Black Friday & Cyber Monday air fryer deals
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are renowned for the best air fryer deals. 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.
This year, Black Friday air fryer deals are still lingering online, even though the deals ended on Monday, December 2nd. So far, I've seen discounts of up to 40% off on my favorite models (listed above). If you missed Black Friday, this is a second chance to secure discounts across leading brands like Ninja, Philips, and Cosori.
However, I wouldn't leave it to the last minute. This week is your best chance to find discounts on everything from basic models to high-end, multi-functional air fryers.
January air fryer deals
Following the holiday period, the January sales bring more great 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.
January 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-energising for the new year.
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.
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.
How we find the best air fryer deals
It’s my full-time job to stay on top of the best air fryers all year round. I research the latest models, rigorously test popular machines, and track price trends to identify the best air fryers with standout features, great value, reliable design, and performance. I keep our best air fryer buying guide continually updated, documenting price drops and comparing costs so we’re always prepared for the biggest discounts.
With years of experience, I know which retailers consistently offer the most competitive air fryer deals. Amazon is unbeatable for its vast selection, while Walmart, Best Buy and Target and Wayfair offer deep discounts. I always check the Ninja Kitchen site too, since they offer seasonal discount codes and sign-up savings. I’m always on the hunt for value-packed bundles that include extras like grill racks, recipe books, or extended warranties, so you can get more from every purchase.
To catch the best air fryer deals, I rely on price-comparison tools. Timing is everything, especially for seasonal sales. Deals go live at different times, so I check early and late in the day to catch midnight drops, restocks, and the day’s best savings. If I see a stunning air fryer deal, I'll update you here at H&G.
