If a small air fryer isn’t enough for you and your family’s needs, this air fryer might be a better match. It has a 5.8 quart (~5.5 litres) capacity, which is enough to make up to 5 portions of food or to fit a 5-6 pound chicken. 

Not sure what temperature to cook your food at or how long to cook your food for? This air fryer comes with 13 pre-set cooking modes which include: Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Seafood, Bacon, Preheat Bread, Frozen Foods, French Fries, Vegetables, Root Vegetables, Desserts, Bread, and more. No more having to blindly guess what temperature your food needs to cook at! 

Although some people find pre-heating to be a hassle, this air fryer has a pre-heating option that takes between 2 – 5 minutes. Pre-heating can improve the texture of your food considerably – plus, the pre-heating option takes much less time than pre-heating an oven would. Something else that’s useful about this air fryer is that it has a function that tells you when you should shake the food in the fryer while it’s cooking, so it cooks evenly. Plus, it has a keep-warm function for if you’re not ready to eat when your food finishes cooking. 

Lastly, its removable parts are dishwasher safe – no need to have to scrub at the non-stick basket manually. The wide range of presets is why we also said this is the best air fryer to for frying fish.

Specifications:

Utopia proves that a quality kitchen gadget can still be affordable. With a 3.2-quart capacity (~3 litres) fryer, you’ll be able to make a decent amount of food for one or two people. If you’re constantly running around the kitchen, you’ll be glad to know that the Utopia Kitchen air fryer has a 30-minute dial timer that will automatically shut off your air fryer after the set time has elapsed – you won’t have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. 

If you’re not quite sure what to cook with this air fryer, it comes with a recipe book that has more than 50 recipes for common foods like chicken, seafood, and vegetables. On the downside, the parts for this air fryer aren’t dishwasher safe, so you’ll need to clean this air fryer after each use. 

In general, reviewers on Amazon are satisfied with this air fryer – however, one common complaint about this air fryer is that it takes a long time to cook (for example, one user said that it took half an hour for a single batch of French fries.) 

Specifications: 

• Dimensions: 30.5 x 29.8 x 29.2 cm
• Item Weight: 7.26 Kg
• Power: 1500 W
• Capacity basket: 2.5 lbs

Being short on space doesn’t mean that you can’t have an air fryer in your home – this Cuisinart air fryer can fit right onto your countertop. This air fryer can air fry up to 2.5 pounds of food and it comes with an air fry basket as well as a baking pan. The wide air fry basket helps food cook more evenly, in comparison to other air fry baskets that are narrower and cause food to stack onto itself. 

Something unique about this unit is that its actually a combination of a toaster oven and a built-in air-fryer. No need to put away and take out this unit constantly, since it can help you with toasting bread for breakfast, baking salmon for lunch or air frying a chicken for dinner.  

Unlike some other air fryers, it comes with a viewing window so you can check how your food is coming along without having to open up the drawer.  One downside to this air fryer is that its parts aren’t dishwasher safe – you’ll need to hand clean them. Overall, this reasonably affordable air fryer will do everything you expect an air fryer to do – but if you hate hand cleaning things, you might want to look for a different air fryer. 

Specifications: 

• Item Weight: 3.27 Kg
• Parcel Dimensions: 30.5 x 30.5 x 25.4 cm
• Power (Watts): 1000 watts
• Capacity: 2.6 Quarts/2.46 litres

Don’t have a huge budget lying around for an air fryer? This Dash air fryer is one of the most affordable air fryers out there, going for about $50 on Amazon. Since it’s both small and cheap, it’s a good choice for people living in apartments, or for students living in a dorm who might not have access to a stove or an oven. Plus, it only weighs around 7 pounds, so its easy enough to take with you on an RV camping trip. 

With a 2.6–quart capacity, you could cook a 1–pound bag of fries or up to a dozen wings. If you have no idea what to cook with an air fryer, this unit comes with a cookbook with more than 15 recipes that will help get you started. If you’re looking for an air fryer that can make several portions of food at once, this air fryer probably isn’t it. 

If you’re the type of person that frequently forgets to turn off their hair iron or stove, the auto-off feature that comes with this air fryer will be quite useful for you.  In case anything goes wrong with this air fryer, it comes with a 1–year manufacturer guarantee.  Overall, the reviews for this air fryer are positive – however, one downside that’s been noted is that numbers wear off the timer dial quite easily. 

Specifications: 

• Item Weight: 4 Kg
• Product Dimensions: 32.6 x 32.6 x 39.1 cm
• Capacity: 4.2L / 4.4 Qt

The COSORI Air Fryer that we listed as the best overall holds 5.5 L for only a slightly larger price. However, if that one didn’t appeal to you, this T-Fal family-sized air fryer is the next alternative.

Out of all the available T-fal air fryers, this particular unit stands out with a relatively affordable price, a decent capacity (4.2L) and multi-functionality (it can grill, roast and bake in addition to air frying.) With a 4.2L capacity, this unit can fit a whole chicken inside. It also features a max temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius (which is standard for air fryers) as well as a 60–minute timer for your convenience.  

Like many other air fryers, you can throw the basket into the dishwasher. However, if you do want to manually clean the air fryer basket, you should know that the non-stick coating is made from Teflon. You shouldn’t use anything abrasive like iron wool to clean the air frying basket so that the non-sticking coating stays on. In the same line of thought, you’ll want to avoid scraping the sides of the basket with metal utensils when serving food so you can avoid getting Teflon flakes into your food. 

Overall, reviewers on Amazon are particularly impressed by the price to volume ratio of this air fryer, as well as how user-friendly it is.

As the name suggests, this Kalorik air fryer is actually a combination of both an air fryer and an oven. It comes with 13 cooking pre-set options including steak, ribs, chicken wings, chicken thighs, fish, shrimp, fries, pizza, vegetables, corn on the cob, cupcake, toast, and reheat – all you need to do is press a button and dinner (or dessert!) is taken care of.  

With a 10–quart capacity (~9.5 litres), this air fryer over combination is well suited for large families. With so many cooking pre-set options, you could potentially cook all your meals in this air fryer oven and limit what you’d have to clean to just one appliance and dishes rather than several different appliances. Plus, this air fryer oven comes with all the accessories you’d ever need for it (two non-stick air-racks, a stainless steel rotating skewer rack, rotisserie spit and stand, mesh basket with handle, 2-in-1 baking/drip tray, and splatter guard), saving you money. The removable parts of this air fryer oven are dishwasher safe, so you won’t have to spend the whole night cleaning up things by hand. 

Like an actual oven, this air fry oven features a light on the inside that you can turn to check on how your food is doing. With regular air fryers, you have to open the air fryer basket to check which lets out heat and prolongs cooking time. Overall, this unit not only functions as an air fryer but also as an all-in-one appliance that can cook a wide variety of meals. It’d be particularly useful for large families or for people who like to meal prep and cook all their food beforehand. 

Specifications: 

• Dimensions: 31.4L cm x 37.9W cm x 32.6H cm
• Capacity: 6 quarts
• Weight: 12.08 lbs | 5.48 kg
• Power supply: 120V – 60Hz
• Maximum draw: 1500 watts

Here’s another option to consider if you prefer air fryers that have digital displays. With a 6–quart capacity (~5.67 L), the air fryer basket can hold around a 2–pound bag of French fries or a 4–pound butterflied chicken. There’s also a larger 10-quart capacity version that was more functions available in the same listing. 

Like some other air fryers on this list, this unit has other cooking functions (roasting, baking, and re-heating). Having one appliance that can take care of your cooking needs helps cut down on cleaning in the kitchen – plus, there’ll be more space for other things if you use this air fryer as a replacement for other cooking appliances. 

While the rack that comes with this air fryer can go into the dishwasher, the air fryer basket cannot. Still, reviewers on Amazon find that clean up is easy, even if you have to manually clean the basket. When it comes to noise, this unit falls on the quieter side of the spectrum. If you can handle the noise level of a microwave, you’ll probably be alright with the noise level of this air fryer. 

In particular, reviewers on Amazon mention that the Instant Vortex 4-in-1 is user-friendly and that it provides an even cook with whatever you place inside the air fryer basket. Overall, this is a decent unit to consider if you’re looking for a unit with multi-functionality that’s not exceptionally expensive.

Specs:

• Capacity: 8 quarts.
• Weight: 12.2 kg.
• Special features: Programmable.

The Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 is our pick for the best quick air fryer, and it’s not because its cooking times are incredibly faster. This air fryer comes with dual-zone technology, meaning you can have two independent baskets cooking two different meals at the same time.

Such an efficient, time-saving feature makes it one of the fastest options out there since you won’t have to wait for the next batch of food to start air frying another different meal. This is ideal if you have a large family with multiple different dietary needs, if you frequently host, or if you intend to use your air fryer A LOT.

In addition to being a dual air fryer, this one has a wide temperature range (105-450°F) and can also broil, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate food. It pretty much does anything. It’s no wonder that it has an almost perfect score on Amazon Canada with more than 3,500 reviews.

Our verdict: Most people plan to cook a single air fryer recipe at a time anyway, so the Ninja DZ201 Foodi 6-in-1 is only worth it if you plan to get the most out of the dual-zone technology. Otherwise, there are many better (and cheaper) options above in this guide.

Specs:

• Capacity: 5 L
• Size: 32 cm (W) x 38 cm (D) x 36 cm (H)
• Weight: 5.5 kg

You would expect that a non-stick basket is a feature owned by any air fryer, but only a few of them mention it as part of their core qualities. If your main concern is the ease of cleaning – but you still don’t want to spend too much on your first air fryer –, then this Insignia air fryer could be your pick. With a pure aluminum basket with a non-stick coating, it will be easy to clean your air fryer after cooking most food items.

With 5 L capacity and a digital panel, this air fryer is a relatively affordable yet quality bet for anyone looking to start at the air frying game without breaking the bank. You can easily find it for less than $160 on many online retailers, or even close to $100 if you don’t mind buying an ‘open-box item’.

Although this product lacks the versatility of many of its competitors, such as cooking program buttons and smart features, it still can do some useful tricks, such as overheating protection and alarm reminders that won’t let you forget your timer has expired. We love any features that will prevent us from overcooking food and reduce fire hazards at the same time.

Our verdict is that the Insignia is not amazing, but it’s a safe player from a well-known brand, which means a lot – most air fryers on the budget side of things aren’t from major manufacturers.

Specifications: 

• Item Weight: 11.8 Kg
• Product Dimensions: 40.9 x 37.1 x 36.3 cm
• Capacity: 8 quarts
• Voltage: 120

What sets this air fryer apart from other models is that it has both air fryer and pressure cooker functionality – cooking some foods with pressure cooking followed by air frying to crisp them up can make them taste better than if they were just pressure cooked or air fried alone. Plus, the basket in this unit is non-stick ceramic coated and PTFE/PFOA-free. That means you won’t have to worry about Teflon flaking into your food and altering its taste or worse, potentially harming your health. 

Other than that, the capacity for this unit is quite large at 8 quarts, making it well suited for large families. If you’d prefer an air fryer that has a smaller capacity, this exact same Ninja air fryer is available in a 6.5–quart size. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, this unit also has the following functions: Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Sear/Sauté, Bake/Roast, Broil, and Dehydrate, which makes it one of the most versatile units on this list.  

Finally, the non-stick basket that comes from this unit is dishwasher friendly, so you won’t have to worry about manually cleaning this unit after every use. Overall, reviewers on Amazon find that this unit is very user friendly and that it’s a great replacement for other cooking appliances. 

Specifications: 

• Product Dimensions (LxWxH): 322 x 433 x 316 mm
• Weight: 7.39 kg/16.3lbs
• Power: 1725 W
• Capacity basket: 1.4 kg /3.08lbs

If you’re looking for an air fryer that can cook up a good amount of food in one go, this air fryer from Philips might be the air-fryer for you. It has a higher than average capacity of 3 pounds – that’s a small whole chicken or 2 bags of French fries. 

In addition, this air fryer can do more than just air fry – it can also grill, bake, and roast food. That means you can cook your main course and dessert all in the same appliance, meaning less hassle and less cleaning overall. Plus, it includes a recipe book that can help give you ideas on what to make for dinner. 

If you hate waiting for your oven or stove to heat up, you’ll probably like that this air fryer doesn’t require pre-heating – within seconds, this air fryer heats up and is ready to start cooking. Unlike some other air fryers, all the removable parts of this air fryer are dishwasher safe (e.g. the basket with a non-stick mesh as well as the drawer.) You can throw these parts into the dishwasher alongside your mountain of plates and cutlery. 

As with all other air fryers, the Philips Airfryer XXL uses little or no added oil to cook your food. Excess fat from your food can be extracted via the fat reducer at the bottom of this air fryer – all you need to do is empty it out once your food is finished cooking. 

On the downside, this particular air fryer doesn’t feature digital controls, meaning that you won’t be able to set the temperature or timer as precisely. It’s also quite noisy – not great for when you’re trying to put your kids down for a nap or if you’re living in an apartment with thin walls. Overall, the large capacity of this air fryer and its lack of pre-heating time make it a good choice when you need to cook large amounts of food relatively quickly. 

While this technically isn’t an air fryer on its own, it’s worth considering if you already have an instant pot at home. The one we’ve linked here is for a 6 qt instant pot, but you can find lids for other instant pot sizes in the same listing. 

This is a great option for anybody that’s short on space – a lid is a lot easier to store than a whole appliance. Plus, this air fryer lid has 5 other cooking functions in addition to air frying, which are broil, bake, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. You can potentially replace a lot of appliances with this lid, meaning more space in your kitchen. 

If you’re not a fan of any of the pre-set functionalities, you can always customize the cooking time and temperature via the digital display. You can also save your own pre-set functions so that you can ensure that your favourite foods are cooked the same way each time. 

Instant Pots themselves are mostly dishwasher friendly (except for the cooker base, which should be wiped down periodically), so you won’t have to deal with the hassle of manually cleaning your Instant Pot after air frying some wings. Overall, the multi-functionality of this air fryer lid makes it worth considering, especially if you already have an Instant Pot.
