Air Fryers

Crispy results without the oil

156 products tested

You bought an air fryer expecting restaurant-quality fries and crispy chicken wings. Instead, you got soggy vegetables and unevenly cooked meat that left you wondering if you wasted your money. Sound familiar? You're not alone. After testing 156 air fryers, we've seen countless models that promise crispy perfection but deliver disappointing results that make you question whether air frying actually works.

The truth is, air fryers can absolutely deliver on their promises, but only if you choose the right one. Our extensive testing revealed that basket design makes or breaks your results. Models with poor air circulation create hot spots that burn some food while leaving other areas undercooked. We also discovered that many popular brands skimp on insulation, making your kitchen uncomfortably hot and driving up energy costs.

Temperature accuracy varies wildly between models too. Some run 50 degrees hotter than their display shows, turning your dinner into charcoal. The best performers maintain consistent temperatures and feature intuitive controls that actually make sense. We found several standout models that consistently produce golden, crispy results without the guesswork.

Ready to find an air fryer that actually lives up to the hype? Our detailed reviews below reveal which models passed our rigorous testing and which ones left us disappointed. Your perfect match is waiting.
