How to choose an air fryer that fits your kitchen
Capacity, counter space, cleaning, and the features you will actually use.
Start with the meals you make
Check the basket’s usable dimensions, not just its advertised capacity. Think about the portions you normally cook and whether a single layer of food will fit.
Measure your counter
Check the appliance dimensions and the manufacturer’s ventilation clearances. Allow space to pull the basket out and open nearby cupboards.
Consider cleanup and controls
Look up which parts are dishwasher-safe and how the basket coating should be cared for. Choose controls you can read and use comfortably.
Read model-specific limits
Cooking programs are convenient, but they are not a substitute for checking the manual. Compare accessories, warranty terms, and replacement parts before deciding.
