Top 1 Budget Air Fryers 2026

What we love

• The largest glass-and-stainless cooking vessel available is the priority — 16qt with no coating on any food-contact surface
• You're cooking for 5–6 people regularly and want a vessel big enough for a full batch without breaking it into rounds
• Glass bowl transparency matters — you can watch the food cook without opening the unit
• Halogen convection is a cooking method you know, or you're open to adjusting your approach from basket-style air frying

Worth knowing

• You want basket air fryer-style crisping — halogen convection uses a different heat mechanism and won't replicate that texture reliably
• Kitchen noise is a concern — there's no measured noise data for this model, and it's a noted gap in the research
• You need borosilicate glass confirmed — the glass type is not disclosed by the brand, and the distinction from tempered soda-lime isn't verifiable from the product listing
