A safe all-rounder, a fryer you can see into, and a great-value dual-zone option.
Big, fast and well-reviewed. If you want one air fryer that can handle most family meals and entertaining, the AF400UK is the safest starting point.
The ClearCook window lets you see what is happening without opening the drawer. Great if you are new to air frying or just prefer to keep an eye on chips, wings and frozen favourites.
Keeps the flexibility of dual baskets at a lower price than the big-name Ninjas. A sensible choice if you want dual-zone cooking without spending top-end money.
These are the models we keep coming back to when friends and family ask for recommendations. We look at capacity, reviews, brand reliability and how often they are discounted in the UK.
The workhorse of many UK kitchens. Big enough for family meals, quick to heat and with intuitive controls. If you are not sure where to start and have the worktop space, this is the default choice.
A big-capacity dual-zone fryer from a familiar name. Good if you meal-prep or regularly cook for larger groups and want presets to do some of the thinking for you.
If you prefer the feel of a mini-oven, the Halo Flexi is easier to load trays into and can replace a lot of what you do in a standard oven, in far less time.
A strong choice if you do not need dual drawers. The COSORI is well-reviewed, neat on the worktop and often discounted into the “comfortable mid-range” price band.
A sensible alternative to Ninja if you want dual drawers from a familiar UK-facing brand. Usually priced a notch below the highest-end models.
Does most of what people want from a Ninja dual-zone, but is frequently on promotion. One to watch if you like a bargain and are not fixed on a single brand.
Being able to see your food makes a bigger difference than you might think, especially for chips and snacks. A very friendly option for first-time air fryer owners.
If you want one device that can pressure-cook, air fry and slow cook, the SmartLid is hard to beat. Ideal for flats or smaller kitchens where worktop space is at a premium.
A good entry-level dual-drawer model. You do not get every premium feature, but it often comes in at a noticeably lower price than the big-brand rivals.
Good if you like the Ninja approach but do not need the extra capacity of the AF400UK. Two drawers in a slightly smaller body keep it easier to fit on most worktops.
One of the cheapest ways into air frying from a known brand. Good as a first step if you are not quite ready to spend three figures but still want to experiment.
For smaller households who still want the Ninja name, the AF160UK is a neat, powerful single-drawer fryer that fits easily in most kitchens.

Our main checks
We do not accept payment from manufacturers to appear on this page. When prices or ranges change, we adjust the shortlist to keep it focused on the best-value options available at the time.
Choosing the right size & style
A good rule of thumb: if your oven is already full most evenings, a larger dual-zone model is worth it. If you mainly reheat leftovers or cook chips and sides, a single-drawer fryer is usually enough.
Broadly, yes. They heat up faster and cook smaller portions more efficiently. Exact savings depend on what you cook, but many UK households use them to avoid heating the full oven for small meals.
Dual-zone fryers are brilliant if you often cook a main plus sides at different temperatures. If you mostly cook one thing at a time, a single-drawer model will save money and worktop space.
For many everyday meals, yes. For very large joints or big trays of baking you may still prefer a conventional oven, but a good air fryer can cover a surprising amount of weeknight cooking.
Most baskets and drawers are non-stick and wipe clean easily. Check whether parts are listed as dishwasher-safe, but many people still prefer to hand-wash to preserve the coating.
