The best air fryer deals to shop now
Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer: was £199.99, now £149.99 at Ninja(save £50)
This is the best air fryer on the market. No questions asked. Our digital editor Kerrie Hughes has written before about her admiration for her Ninja Foodi Max air fryer, and we can see why: it's a family-sized air fryer that can use two different cooking methods at the same time.
Instant 4-in-1 Air Fryer: was £90, now £82.99 at Amazon (save £8)
This handsome discount makes this a great entry-level appliance for those using an air fryer for the first time. Simple, but effective, this petite single-drawer air fryer can roast, bake, air fry, and reheat to a really high standard. It's cheap at full price, but a bargain at half price.
Tower 5-in-1 Air Fryer: was £119.99, now £90.02 at Amazon (save £30)
25% off is a great discount on an already incredible price. It makes this impressive Tower Xpress model even better value for money. It's already a lot of air fryer for your money, it's basically like a mini oven. Our experts say this is the model to convert air fryer sceptics, especially because it's non-toxic too.
Philips XXL: was £219.99, now £159.95 at Amazon (save £60)
Philips were one of the first brands to make good air fryers, so the expertise is significant. Their simple, patented technology delivers faultless results every time. This XXL model is speedy, luxurious, and inexpensive. We loved using it during testing, which you can read more about in our full review.
Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK: was £99, now £79 at Argos (save £20)
This small, 3.8-litre Ninja Air Fryer has a firm spot in our round-up of the best Ninja has to offer. It may be the smallest and cheapest model, but that doesn't mean you lose anything when it comes to quality, with the power and controls to make cooking so much more convenient.
Tefal Easy Fry 2-in-1 Air Fryer: was £99.99, now £83.49at Amazon (save £16)
The eight presets on this easy-to-use fryer include modes for cooking crispy fries and a whole roast chicken; the presets are also easy to cycle through and choose from, due to the stripped-back display. There's a grill plate for frying meat and fish, and if you're using the steam function, careful steam technology stops your food from becoming soggy.
When is the best time to get an air fryer deal?
The next time you'll find plenty of discounts is in the run-up to, during and after Black Friday (29th November). Other than shopping Prime Day and Black Friday air fryer deals, though, you'll also find excellent air fryer sales in December; January air fryer sales can also offer plenty of bargains.
This means the best times to shop for air fryer deals include: July, October, November, December and January. However, you can find many air fryers on sale year-round; we've listed these above.

Consider searching for an older model air fryer for the best saving; these are often more heavily discounted than the latest buys.
Are Prime Day air fryer deals any good?
Prime Day is a wonderful opportunity to snag a saving on an air fryer. The Instant 4-in-1 air fryer was reduced to £45 in the last sale right now and the famous Ninja air fryer had a full £70 off. However, the next Prime Day isn't until July, so you're better off shopping for air fryers on Black Friday.
Are Black Friday air fryer deals worth waiting for?
You can expect to see savings of around 50% on air fryers around Black Friday. This means similar savings on air fryers to during Prime Day sales; however, on Black Friday, there is often a much wider choice. In 2023, for example, we saw excellent bargains on the best models at John Lewis, Amazon, Ninja, Instant, Tower, Salter, Lakeland and more, including on our top pick the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone (reviewed here in our guide).
Are air fryers cheaper on Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday air fryer deals are as good as those on Black Friday, though you may find the choice narrows somewhat. In the past year or two, some of the best air fryer deals have been available in the run up to Black Friday.
What is a good price for an air fryer?
The standard, non-sale price of an air fryer ranges widely, from £40 to up to £200. What you'll pay largely depends on the capacity of the air fryer, usually measured in litres. A two-person household will be able to make do with up to 2 litres capacity; a family of four will need a 3-4 litre air fryer, while a five-to-six-person household will want one that's 5 litres or more.
You can buy a smaller air fryer for as little as £40. Models with a 3-4 litre capacity tend to come in at around £100, though Tower and PowerXL, available at Currys, amongst other brands, offer larger air fryers at around the £100 mark, too. Expect to pay more for higher-capacity air fryers and for the most sought-after brands, such as Ninja.
With all this in mind, you can see that getting a £200 air fryer for £100 during a sale, or a £100 air fryer for £50, could be considered a bargain.
How do you know you're getting a genuinely good air fryer deal?
One factor to be wary of when looking for air fryer deals is that just because it looks like there’s a large percentage taken off the RRP through the deal, if the fryer was originally overpriced, you could still get better bang for your buck elsewhere. In the past, we’ve generally seen deals on air fryers sit at around 20-40% off the original RRP, so if you see a deal that offers a discount of half price or more, you might want to snap it up.
It’s important to look at what’s being included in the deal, too, as well as the size, capacity and features of the fryer. If you know you’re looking for an extra-large air fryer, and you see a deal that offers this for less than £100, you’d be wise to get in on the deal before it goes.
Are air fryers worth the money?
We asked Millie Fender, our former Head of Ecommerce and a small appliances expert, are air fryers are worth it? "I’ve reviewed countless air fryers from brands like Ninja and Instant, and I can confirm that they’re genuinely life-changing appliances," she says.
"My oven’s been on standby since I got my two-drawer Instant VersaZone air fryer, here at Amazon, which I’d highly recommend if you’re looking for an air fryer upgrade. And if you’re an air fryer newbie, I highly recommend Ninja air fryers, particularly the entry-level models, which are powerful yet compact."
As you would expect from an expert in air fryers and sales, Millie highly recommends waiting for the sales to snap up the best bargains.
How we test air fryers
We rigorously test air fryers with a vast range of ingredients in real homes rather than lab conditions. This allows us to report back on how they perform at making family meals for days and weeks at a time. You can find out more about how we test air fryers in our guide.
