Your support makes all the difference.If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen appliances or are yet to invest in an air fryer, you’ve come to the right place, as we’ve rounded up the best air fryer deals to snap up this month.
In light of the rising cost of living, energy efficiency has become a top priority for many. Air fryers are not only cheaper to run than a conventional oven, but they can also help you rustle up healthier meals in half the time. Some market-leading models can cost hundreds of pounds, though, so, if you’re on the hunt for a more affordable air fryer, we’ve got you covered.
Air fryers also use little or no oil to cook food, meaning healthier chips could be on your menu. You can do everything from grilling vegetables to cooking a roast dinner with these devices. Plus, you can choose between compact and larger models, to suit your kitchen and culinary requirements.
Among the most important stats to look for are the power and cooking times, as well as the capacity of the air fryer, which is sometimes measured in kilograms and sometimes in litres, depending on the manufacturer.

Airfryer deals FAQs

What to look for when buying an air fryer?
There are a number of different factors to consider when choosing an air fryer. There are four different types: basket, paddle, rotisserie and mini oven style. Which one works for you will depend on what you want to cook in yours.
Basket is the most popular and common style, it’s a great all-rounder, using a draw-style technique to cook a wide range of food to even and crispy perfection. Some air fryers have dual draws and capacities may vary so if you’ll be cooking for a big family or lots of hungry housemates, make sure to take that into consideration. The paddle is great for quick on-the-go and minimal-effort cooking as it stirs your food for you. Rotisserie, unsurprisingly, is best for cooking succulent and flavourful meat dishes. And finally, mini-oven style is, well, a mini oven – a great pick if you're tight on kitchen space. It acts the same as your regular oven only smaller, quicker and more energy efficient.
