Why We Like It
Air fryers are compact convection ovens that heat quickly and crisp food with little oil. A 5-quart basket is the sweet spot for a household of two to four. Preheats in minutes, not tens of minutes. Crisps food with little or no added oil.
What It Does
Crisp, quick weeknight meals with far less preheating. When you shop for one, focus on a capacity that suits your household, dishwasher-safe basket and tray and digital presets plus manual temperature control.
Pros

- Counter space required
Who Should Buy It?
Small households that want quick, crispy weeknight dinners.
Who Should Skip It?
Skip it if batches get crowded is a dealbreaker for you, or if counter space required would bother you day to day.
