Top tips for buying an air fryer on Black Friday

The main thing you should do before committing to any new kitchen appliance is researching it. Research the top brands, research the different types of machines you can get, and find out as much information about it before purchasing. This will ensure that you're super happy with your long-term purchase and it'll be worth the money in the long run.

In terms of buying an air fryer, particularly during the Black Friday sales, it's about finding the model to suit your needs and your family. Once you've settled on a specific model or design, you will then need to shop around to find the best deal.

Features and functions

Basket air fryers are much more basic than air fryer ovens - do you want an air fryer that can grill too? Do you want one that is easy to clean or one that has a pre-set timer? Deciding on the type of machine that you want to commit to is a great idea, it will make hunting on Black Friday much easier as you'll have all the knowledge and information you need before adding that particular air fryer to your shopping basket.

Capacity and size

One of the main things to keep in mind when purchasing an air fryer is its size - and not just the size of the machine itself but the capacity. How many people do you need to cook for? Will it feed all of you or will you have to use it twice to get the most out of it? Whatever your decision, make sure you find out more about the capacity of the model before purchasing as well as the overall size of the air fryer to see if it can fit on your countertop or in the cupboard easily.

Recommendations and reviews

Read as many reviews and talk to friends and family who may already have an air fryer. Getting a first-hand recommendation of a specific brand or type of air fryer is a great place to start.
