We don’t “wing” it here at Yahoo Life: We put 15 models to the test and awarded this one “Best Air Fryer Overall.” According to Yahoo Life writer Kristin Granero, who conducted the tests, this one “boasts substantial cooking room, minimal required maintenance and an easy-to-master learning curve, all while looking non-clunky.”
Its LED display has five cooking functions to choose from — air-fry, roast, bake, broil and warm — as well as five preset options for popular foods like fries, wings, frozen snacks and vegetables. Other cool components include its interior light and see-through doors, which allow you to keep an eye on your food while it cooks, as well as a “toss reminder” that’ll alert you when it’s time to flip your food in the basket. This is as low as we’ve ever seen it marked down to.

This top-selling, compact cutue won’t take up a ton of space in your kitchen and has six one-touch smart functions — air-fry, roast, broil, dehydrate, bake and reheat — to make meal prep a breeze. It also preheats in mere moments (up to 400° F) and won’t make your kitchen feel like a sauna during the warmer months.
This is the lowest this model has been marked down to all year, and at nearly 55% off, it’s within a few dollars of its best price of all time … just sayin’!

Granero awarded this snazzy appliance the title of “best air fryer toaster,” calling it “an expert at multitasking, hitting the sweet spot in our testing for size, price and function.” She adds, “It has a 12-liter capacity that supports four slices of toast, 1 pound of french fries or a 9-inch pizza, and a 4.5-pound chicken with only the bottom tray in place. It also performs six duties: air-frying, baking, toasting, broiling, reheating and roasting, with the option to infuse steam, for different texture preferences and appetites.”
