The 6 Best Air Fryers 2026

What we love

• 6.3 qt capacity serves up to 6 people in a compact countertop design
• 1600 W turbo heating with 105–400 °F range, 1–60 min timer, 4 presets, and full manual/custom control
• Bare heat-resistant glass bowl and 18/8 stainless tray have zero PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, or other chemical coatings
• Glass bowl and tray are 100% dishwasher safe with crystal-clear 360° view for monitoring without opening the lid

Worth knowing

• Glass bowl and tray are heavier to handle and move than traditional lightweight metal basket models
• Standard warranty is 1 year; 2-year coverage requires product registration
• Only 4 one-touch presets; most recipes rely on manual temperature and time settings
• Positioned at a higher price point than basic coated air fryers in the same capacity class

What we love

• Fully uncoated food-contact surfaces: tempered glass bowl plus stainless steel accessories with no PTFE, PFAS, PFOA or BPA.
• Self-cleaning cycle loosens residue via hot air and soap vortex for fast rinse-out with minimal scrubbing.
• Transparent 360° glass bowl enables real-time monitoring of cooking without lid lifts or heat loss.
• Includes rotisserie spit, tumbling basket, air stand and grabber for 9-in-1 functions powered by 1300 W up to 400°F.

Worth knowing

• 90-day limited warranty (shorter than the 1-year coverage common on many air fryers)
• Glass bowl and lid hand-wash only; the appliance weighs approximately 15.4 lb.
• $199.99 is a premium price for a 5 qt glass-bowl model versus typical coated-basket units

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

• 16 qt tempered glass bowl with two stainless racks fits whole chickens or layered family meals at once.
• No nonstick coating on any food-contact surface — uncoated glass bowl and bare stainless steel racks.
• 1300 W with 360° convection and 180–400°F range handles air fry, roast, bake, and more evenly.
• Dishwasher-safe bowl and racks plus built-in auto-clean cycle for fast post-cook maintenance.

Worth knowing

• 12.5 x 16 x 13.5 in footprint and 14.7 lb weight require substantial counter space.
• 1-year limited warranty is shorter than many competing air fryers.
• 400°F maximum may restrict high-heat searing or certain crisp-roast techniques.
• Glass bowl needs careful handling; lid is not dishwasher safe.

What we love

• 6 qt primary container is uncoated 100% PFOA & PFAS-free glass for visible, chemical-free cooking.
• 1750 W with 12 presets, time and temperature controls, and pull-out drawer.
• Dishwasher safe glass container, air fryer basket, storage lid and silicone accessories.
• Storage lid included for direct cook-to-refrigerator transfer and storage.

Worth knowing

• Heavy glass design weighs 17.31 lb with dimensions 16.18 x 13.23 x 12.19 in, making it bulky.
• Inner basket nonstick coating type is not specified by the manufacturer.
• No published maximum temperature or noise level from brand site or retailers.
• Sells for around $180 with several key performance specs unavailable.

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.
