Best Air Fryers

Enjoy fast, tasty meals with our hand-picked selection of the best air fryers on the market.


Whether you’re looking to save energy, cook healthier food, or just save yourself a bit of time in the kitchen, air fryers have become one of the most popular kitchen gadgets on the market. In just the last couple of years, there has been a massive increase in air fryer sales. Of course, with that popularity comes multiple brands trying to get a slice of the action. You'll now find kitchen brands large and small offering their own air fryers, often in a variety of different models. But how do you choose the best one for your kitchen? Not to worry- that's where the liGo experts come in!

We've tested an enormous range of air fryers from a whole host of brands to come up with our list of the top picks. We have tried to include options for everyone, but there are a few factors you should consider when picking a model for your kitchen. Firstly, size and capacity are both very important. Air fryers range in size, so you'll want to choose one that will comfortably fit on your kitchen countertop. As for capacity, think about how much you are planning on cooking in your air fryer. If you're only cooking for one or two people, then a smaller model will likely do the job. For larger families (or larger amounts of food, such as a whole chicken), a fryer with more capacity is a better bet. Some models also come with extra features such as pre-programmed cooking settings- we've highlighted these in the entries below where applicable.
