The best Prime Day air fryer deals

Cosori TurboBlaze Air Fryer

Best for: Home cooks looking for consistent, even crisping and a faster preheat time than standard models.

The value: The Cosori TurboBlaze is our top-rated air fryer. It handles everything from frozen fries to whole chickens with ease, and its cooking functions cover a wide range of meal prep needs.

The trade-off: While it excels at performance, the sleek black finish can be a fingerprint magnet, requiring frequent wiping to keep your countertop looking pristine.

Prime Day deal: We've tracked this model's price year-round, and this is the moment to buy. It just hit its lowest price ever. Getting our top-tested air fryer for under $100 is an absolute deal.

Instant Vortex Plus

Best for: Busy households that need a reliable, no-fuss appliance for quick weeknight meals.

The value: The Instant Vortex Plus isn't trying to be the sexiest appliance on your counter, but it's a total workhorse. It's easy to use, has a large capacity that fits family-sized portions, and features an intuitive interface that gets you cooking in seconds.

The trade-off: The basket tray can be a bit tricky to handle when removing cooked food, and it lacks the advanced "smart" features found in much pricier. high-end models.

Prime Day deal: At the current Prime Day price of just under $100, the Instant Vortex Plus is sitting well below the historical average of $129.42. While we've seen it drop as low as $75 in early 2024, the current price is a reliable discount for this kitchen workhorse.

Ninja Foodi DualZone

Best for: Any home cook who needs to cook two different foods at different temperatures to finish at the same time.

The value: The Ninja Foodi DualZone is a game-changer for batch cooking. You can cook and maintain a side simultaneously, ensuring everything is hot and ready to serve at once.

The trade-off: This is a large appliance with a significant footprint. If you have limited counter space, you will need to clear some room before adding it to your kitchen.

Prime Day deal: At its Prime Day price of $179.99, the Ninja Foods DualZone is positioned well below its historical average of around $218. We've seen it drop further, but the current price is a solid deal with significant savings.

Ninja Crispi Pro

Best for: Home cooks who want an air fryer that can prep, cook, serve, store, and reheat in the same glass containers.

The value: The Ninja Crispi Pro streamlines meal prep with two glass containers — a 6-quart option for family-sized cooking and a 2.5-quart container for smaller portions — plus storage lids for leftovers. It also has six cooking functions, including air fry, roast, bake/proof, dehydrate, recrisp, and max crisp. In testing, it did an excellent job of evenly browning and crisping the food, and we even used it to finish off chicken wings on other models that couldn't keep up.

The trade-off: The glass containers are more versatile than a standard air fryer basket, but they also make the system bulkier to store. It's best for someone who will actually use the containers for cooking and meal prep, not just occasional air frying.

Prime Day deal: At its Prime Day price of $249.95, the Ninja Crispi Pro is $50 off its usual $299.99 price. That's not a massive discount, but Ninja doesn't discount this popular item that often, making it a solid savings.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

Best for: Home cooks who want a high-performance, all in one machine capable of replacing a full-sized oven for most daily tasks.

The value: The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the gold standard for versatility. This isn't just an air fryer — it's a precision-engineered countertop oven that bakes, roasts, broils, toasts, and reheats with professional-grade consistency.

The trade-off: This is a premium appliance with a larger footprint and higher price tag than dedicated air fryers, making it an investment piece that requires dedicated counter space.

Prime Day deal: The Prime Day deal is an excellent savings off the historical high of $499.95. I bought the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for 20% off during the lead-up to Prime Day, and the deal won't get any better.

Chefman 4-Quart Compact Air Fryer

Best for: Dorms, apartments, and anyone looking for a budget-friendly air fryer that doesn't eat up counter space.

The value: Despite its compact size, the Chefman 4-Quart Compact Air Fryer performed surprisingly well during testing. It's perfect for one or two-person meals, simple to operate, and fits easily into kitchens where larger units simply won't work.

The trade-off: The smaller capacity limits you to smaller portion sizes, and it lacks advanced preset functions found on premium, larger-capacity air fryers.

Prime Day deal: While it has dropped as low as $50 before, the current Prime Day deal is still a great value for an entry-level air fryer.
