At H&G, air fryers are high up on our kitchen wish list. They're speedy and easy ways to make delicious food. The only thing that gets our experts more excited than an air fryer test day is an air fryer sale. And those are few and far between.
Finding a seriously good air fryer deal can be tough if you don't know the market. Ninja, Cosori, and Instant make some of the best air fryers , so they're a reliable place to look for deals. Outside of that, there are plenty of cheap, plastic air fryers and some models that cash in on the 'luxury' price tag. With all that in mind, how do you know when an air fryer deal is any good? You ask us.
We have a team of air fryer-obsessed experts who are always looking for the best air fryer deals on the market. We test any model we think you'll like, looking for air fryers that suit every kind of home. We've found small air fryers, dual-drawer air fryers, multi-functional slow cookers, and even the best non-toxic air fryers . Then, if we see a discount on them (at any retailer), we shout about it. So, if you've been coveting a Cosori or daydreaming of dual-drawer air fryers, you're in the perfect place.
Where to shop the best air fryer deals
If you want to get straight into shopping for yourself, here are the best places to buy an air fryer. They might have a retailer-specific sale, or a special sale section. It's always worth checking.
If you like your appliances to be hard-working, the Instant is perfect. It's really a slow cooker, but its air frying capacity is as good as any other.
If you know you'll need some flexibility in the kitchen, this is perfect. You can adjust the size of the drawer and split it in half, making the Foodi Flexbasket the most versatile model out there.
Nothing beats the speed of this incredible air fryer. It doesn't need to pre-heat and you don't need to time it – the Ninja's pre-sets do everything for you. So you can go and lay the table, or someone else can, if you like.
Not all air fryers come with brains and beauty, but this one does. It's compact, colorful, and of incredible value (even at full RRP). We'd recommend it for any compact, chic kitchen or smaller meals.
There's no nationwide sale on right now (the next one will be Labor Day). So, we've popped our favorite, tried and tested air fryers below. Some brands might have a sale on them, so make sure to shop around.
If you're short on space (and time), this compact, speedy air fryer is perfect. Its specialty is fried food, but it also does a great job of dehydrating and re-heating too. Miraculously, it's still on sale.
The Instant Vortex Plus is another top scorer from our favorite brand – and it's currently 54% off in the Prime Day sales. This is their smallest and cheapest model (without the window and anti-odor technology). Still, incredible value for a very functional machine View Deal
Cosori are well-known for making the best air fryers for beginners. This is compact and quick and really fierce. You'll get ultra-crispy fries in the Cosori. View Deal
This family-sized air fryer has dropped by nearly $100. Aside from the spacious basket, it's the easiest model to use thanks to the simple cooking modes. When we tested, the only thing we could fault was the price, but now it's a bargain.
Perfect for 4-6 servings, this is the best air fryer we've ever tested. The Odor Erase technology keeps cooking scents to a minimum and the see-through window is an unsung hero feature. 24% off the price is a brilliant discount.
Perfect for large households who need crispy food in a hurry, the Ninja Max XL is an excellent investment. Amazon has knocked $50 off the price in their Prime Day deals, taking nearly a third off the price.
There are a few Ninja models on sale right now, but at 44% off, this is the best deal we've seen. The capacity is a little smaller than the models above, but the XL nonstick basket and crisper plate can cook up to 3 lbs of French fries or wings with ease. View Deal
If you'd like to know which air fryer our experts use at lunchtime, look no further. This model features a spacious two-drawer design and flexible settings, so you can air fry an entire meal with ease. Our testers agreed it's the fastest dual-basket air fryer on the market. Enjoy a solid $40 discount in the sales today.
If you live in a large home and you need a hand getting dinner on the table, the Instant makes life a lot easier. Like the Ninja model above, it features two 4 QT baskets that can cook on separate functions, temperatures, and times. It has a slightly larger footprint than the Ninja model above, so takes up more counter space.
The two drawers of this air fryer collapse into a single 7 quart 'megazone', so you can air fry large joints of meat. On test, we found it very similar to the standard Ninja Foodi. It has sync-cook and match finish functions, making it easy to cook two dishes at once and have everything ready at the same time if you'd like.
One of our favorite non-toxic air fryers, the Paris Rhône is great for small families. It's not without it's eccentricities (I'm not sure how many people will get daily use out of the flan pâtissier setting) but we used it to roast a whole chicken despite its small size.
We haven't tested this exact air fryer, but a 54% discount is too good not to share. Reviews say this has more than enough capacity, even for big families, and that it's super easy to use too. View Deal
If you want an air fryer that can bake, roast, toast, crisp, and work like a mini oven, this is a brilliant investment. From rotisserie chicken to 12” pizzas, it can handle anything. There's 46% off the price at Amazon right now.
We all love Summer BBQs, so an air fryer that doubles-up as a grill is a genius idea. The Ninja Foodi Smart Grill is perfect for quick, easy, al-fresco dining. And it just dropped to a stunning 42% off. View Deal
I'm thrilled to see this KitchenAid oven is still discounted. It's really a toaster oven (an excellent one too), but it can dehydrate, proof, bake, broil and of course, air fry. This bundle comes with a pizza baking stone too. Did I mention it's also non-toxic? View Deal
Perfect for large households who need crispy food in a hurry, the Ninja Max XL is an excellent investment. Amazon has knocked $50 off the price in their Prime Day deals, taking nearly a third off the price.
This is one of the hardest working appliances you'll have in your kitchen. It comes with thirteen diverse settings, air fry function, and over $100 discount. We love the non-toxic, stainless steel as a quality alternative to non-stick coating. View Deal
The Instant isn't the most premium air fryer on the market, but if you want a more simple model that excels at the basics, this is what you need. It's straightforward, simple, and dishwasher safe too. View Deal
True to its name, this is a beautiful air fryer. When we put it to the test, our experts were impressed with how easy this is to use and how well it performs. It's a little flimsy, but if you're on a budget, this is a brilliant buy. You can shop it on Amazon for just over $80 (that's the discounted price), but it's cheapest straight from Walmart).
The next nationwide sale isn't until Labor Day in September. Unless you're willing to wait until then, it's worth shopping around at different retailers, because they might have individual sales on throughout the year. Whenever we see a noteworthy deal, we let you know about it.
When is a good time to buy an air fryer?
If you need one, any time is a good time. However, if you're not desperate, it's worth waiting for a nationwide sale, such as Black Friday, Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and New Year. These are the best times to snag a serious saving, because all retailers reduce their prices to compete with each other. We'll keep you up to date on all the best offers whenever these sales are on.
When is Labor Day?
This year, Labor Day falls on September 2nd. It'll be the next best time to grab an air fryer deal. Watch this space for more details on what to shop and when to shop them.
Our tips for getting the best air fryer deals on offer

Knowing which air fryer deals to shop and when to buy them, can be tricky, but if you follow some simple tips, you'll be able to snag the best saving possible.
1. Know what to shop
The first thing you need to know before shopping the sales is what you're looking for. There are lots of different types of air fryers: compact, tower, dual drawer, French door, smart, and multi-cookers or grills that integrate air frying functions. Knowing roughly which category you're shopping in will help you to streamline your search. You won't get overwhelmed shopping either. If you need a hand, we go deep into the details of what to look for in our air fryer buying guide .
2. Ask the experts
People like me spend our days testing, reviewing, and researching the best air fryers on the market, so we have a lot to say about them. When the Amazon Prime Day sales come around, we'll all be updating articles on the best air fryer deals. Given that it's our job, it's worth looking at what we have to say. I'd always cross-reference different sites, so you can see what everyone is talking about, but you'll see commonalities between what we are all talking about.
3. Check for yourself
It's always nice to have your own reassurance too. There are extensions (I use CamelCamelCamel ) that will show you the price of the product on Amazon and where it has sat historically. Some air fryers are regularly on sale and others are rarely discounted. If you can see the lowest price that it's been and how long ago, you can make an informed decision about what you want for yourself.
4. Stay focused
Don't get tempted by bigger discounts on models that don't tick all of your boxes. If you know you want a dual-drawer air fryer, don't compromise, because you'll only end up using your air fryer less in the longer-term.
