There are so many air fryers on the market, how do you know which one is right for you? I would expect one to last 5 years, if not more. However, this does depend on how often you use it for and how well you maintain it (yes you should clean it). Is it worth getting a $200 one, or a $100 one? Let’s just say the pricier ones often have a larger capacity and/or made of more durable materials and/or made with non-toxic non-stick coating. Since I care about my health and wellbeing, I would absolutely avoid cookware that release harmful chemicals from lower grade materials. High quality exterior (the housing) made of BPA-free plastic components, offering great heat-resistance are desirable. While stainless steel or aluminium construction within the air fryer is less likely to emit toxic fumes. The basket coating is either ceramic-based, or PTFE/PFOA-free. If you tend to clean up using the convenience of a dishwasher, make sure the parts are dishwasher-safe and the coating isn’t at risk of being damaged.

Having highlighted the above, here are reputable brands selling air fryers you can trust. They are popular for good reasons.
