Looking for the best air fryer in 2026? In this guide, you'll discover our top 5 models, plus the best options for frying chips and snacks, double-basket air fryers, and models for both small and large households. So, you can easily find the air fryer that suits your needs and kitchen setup.

What is the best air fryer?

A white air fryer sits on a counter, a hand adjusts a black dial. Behind it are kitchen items: a wooden board and oil bottle.

To choose the best air fryer for your home, consider a few key factors. First, check the size of the appliance – it should fit your countertop. Then think about the basket capacity. If you cook large portions or often prepare multiple dishes, go for an air fryer with a large or double basket. Also look at features like auto programmes for chips, chicken or vegetables, and technologies that ensure even cooking. Finally, check the accessories – some models include a grill rack or baking tray.
