I've spent 5 years reviewing the top air fryers on the market, from budget brands like Dash and Cosori to high-end dual zone models from the likes of Ninja and Instant. Having put over 50 air fryers through their paces, I regularly get asked by friends and family to recommend the best air fryer for a range of budgets, and these Prime Day deals make some of my favorite models a lot more affordable.
As we enter the final day of Amazon's Prime Day event, time is running out to save on a new kitchen upgrade. I've tested and loved all five of these air fryer picks, so if you're torn on whether to invest in a swishy new dual-zone or find something smaller to suit your kitchen, this roundup is here to help.
It says a lot that out of all of the air fryers I've tested, the one I use in my own home is the Instant VersaZone, currently 35% off at Amazon. This air fryer has a removable divider that can expand the cooking space to a huge 9 quarts, and it's also one of the quietest air fryers I've tried. If you're on more of a budget, I recently reviewed the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1, now $30 off at Amazon. It went straight to the top of our buying guide thanks to its reasonable price and outstanding cooking performance.

How to choose the right air fryer this Prime Day
When choosing the right air fryer for you, the first thing you need to consider is the size you need. If you have a family of four or more, a 7-quart capacity would be the minimum you need to cook whole meals in one machine. However, two-person households could happily work with a 4-quart capacity, especially if you're short on space.
Different brands offer different perks. With Ninja air fryers, you'll get a noisier but more powerful machine than alternatives from Instant or Philips, whereas Philips has a huge range of settings to choose from if you'd make use of pre-determined modes for cooking fish, cakes, or fries. If you wouldn't use these, a Philips air fryer might be overkill, especially because they're one of the more expensive brands on the market.
If you're interested in an air fryer with a see-through cooking drawer, Instant Brands is a top choice. I also enjoy how quiet these fryers are compared to other models I've tried, although they can be a bit shinier than other models, so will mark easily with oily fingerprints.
