The 6 Best Air Fryers 2026

What we love

• You want zero chemical coatings on every food-contact surface -- the glass bowl and 18/8 stainless tray are both bare.
• You value seeing your food cook through the transparent glass bowl.
• You cook for two to four people and want a 6.3-quart capacity with dishwasher-safe parts.
• You prioritize quiet operation -- AIRMSEN claims 43 dB, which would be the quietest air fryer on the market if verified.

Worth knowing

• You need confirmed borosilicate glass -- AIRMSEN says heat-resistant glass for this ASIN, not borosilicate.
• You require third-party PFAS-free verification (NSF 537 or lab testing), not just a manufacturer claim.
• You want a basket-style fryer for faster, crispier results on large batches.
• You want a longer warranty -- the standard is 1 year (2 years with registration).

What we love

• Zero-coating, PFAS-free food-contact surfaces are your top priority.
• You want glass bowl visibility and 360-degree convection cooking.
• You accept the premium price and short warranty for material safety assurance.

Worth knowing

• You require UL/ETL electrical safety certification before purchasing any appliance.
• A 90-day warranty on a $200 appliance is unacceptable to you.
• You need dishwasher-safe cooking vessels for easy cleanup.

What we love

• You want the strongest cooking performance available -- 1725W TurboBlaze with DC motor.
• Quiet operation matters -- less than 53 dB even on the highest fan speed.
• You want an explicit PFAS-free claim from a well-known brand and are comfortable with manufacturer self-reporting.
• You cook for three to five people and want a 6-quart, dishwasher-safe, square-basket design with a 2-year warranty.

Worth knowing

• You want uncoated food-contact surfaces -- look at glass or bare stainless steel air fryers instead.
• You require third-party PFAS-free verification (NSF 537 or lab testing), not just a manufacturer claim.
• You prioritize material purity above all else -- the ceramic-coated bare aluminum design scores below average on safety.
• Budget is a concern -- at $99.99, other models offer better material safety at similar or lower prices.

What we love

• You want a large-capacity (16 qt) glass air fryer with zero coatings at a mid-range price.
• Dishwasher-safe parts (including the glass bowl) matter for easy cleanup.
• You want the glass bowl convection cooking experience with halogen + infrared.

Worth knowing

• You need confirmed 304 or 316 stainless steel on food-contact surfaces.
• You want independent PFAS verification beyond manufacturer claims.
• You need independently confirmed UL/ETL certification.

What we love

• You want an uncoated glass bowl air fryer -- the glass container itself has no applied coating and zero degradation risk.
• You value a lifetime warranty (10-year proxy) from a brand that stands behind its product.
• Dishwasher-safe glass container and basket make cleanup easy for daily use.
• You trust Livwell's PFAS-free claim and accept that no independent lab has verified it.

Worth knowing

• You need to know exactly what material the crisper plate is made of -- Livwell does not disclose it.
• You require UL or ETL safety certification -- none is disclosed for this product.
• You want independently verified PFAS-free testing, not just a manufacturer claim.
• You need a published max temperature specification -- none is available from any source.

What we love

• You want borosilicate glass containers that are chemically inert and heat-resistant.
• You accept nano-ceramic crisper plates as a compromise for the glass-bowl design.
• The 62 dB noise level matters -- this is quieter than most air fryers on the market.
• Dishwasher-safe glass containers and crisper plates simplify daily cleanup.

Worth knowing

• You want zero coating risk -- nano-ceramic has the same transparency concerns as undisclosed coatings per SKL.
• You need independently verified PFAS-free testing, not just a manufacturer claim.
• You want stainless steel crisper plates with no coating at all (e.g., Fritaire).
• You require UL or ETL safety certification -- none is disclosed for this model.
