What's so great about this particular air fryer? Well, first of all, it’s bigger than other models. It’s still one of the higher-priced air fryers on this list, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. We’d argue it’s worth the investment even at its (admittedly high) normal price point, but it becomes even more of a must-have when it’s on sale at a steep discount (we’re talking $100 off). It should come as no surprise that our favorite Cyber Monday deals to recommend are the ones on the winners of our product tests One such product test winner? The Phillips Premium Air Fryer, which has come out on top two years running. But if you need to keep this in a cabinet when it's not in use, the R2D2 shaped ones might be the way to go. If you have the space to keep it out all the time, we recommend opting for a countertop oven that can “air fry” as opposed to a traditional basket “air fryer.” That's because the actual ovens offer more functionality, and more space-and with more space, your tater tots can spread out and not get piled on top of each other. You may be wondering: Why buy an air fryer if your oven already has a convection setting? Well, air fryers heat up very fast, increase the amount of available oven space you have, and make small-batch weeknight cooking or reheating leftovers a cinch. One important part of air frying food is that you have to toss it occasionally, which is much easier to do with a basket than a tray.

Those basket-style air fryers aren’t just made to mimic the look of a deep fryer.

Air fryers, at their best, are just weird looking little convection ovens that typically come in two forms: basket-style or countertop oven-style. However, we are huge proponents of convection cooking, that is, adding fans to an oven to move hot air around food and help it cook evenly and get crispier than it otherwise would.
