9 Best Air Fryer Black Friday Deals for 2026 – Expert Picks & Reviews

Customer Review: “This air fryer is fantastic. I had a huge fryer on my counter. Took up too much room. This fryer is compact, works amazingly and easy to use and clean. I use it everyday. Crisps up french fries, chicken nuggets, small pizzas and I have cooked ham, chicken and fish. The black color is nice and it sits on my counter. Everyone in my family uses it even the grandkids. My 2 daughters have also purchased them for their homes. Great product.”

Customer Review: “I absolutely love this! Got it half off on Black Friday. Very easy to use and clean. Microwaving pizza doesn’t do well, but you can warm it up in the air fryer in less time than it takes to warm up the oven! You can cook a chicken breast and it’ll be nice and juicy, not dried out. I like to cook bacon in it. Faster and a lot less mess. Also Amazon said this one doesn’t get returned as much as other brands. I haven’t had any problems with it.”

Customer Review: “It’s nice. Insane value for the price. Pretty good size, easy to clean, quiet, easy to use. All around a good air frier.”

Customer Review: “Been having this fryer for 2 weeks now and it has NOT rested yet. I LOVE IT & wonder how I’ve gone this long w/out one. Before I start bragging on this thing, I am by no way endorsed by Ninja or getting paid by them. I’ve owned a few Ninja products blenders and still have one that’s over 10 years old. They make quality machines. This fryer is a life & time saver…especially if you’re a lazy cook. I have been researching air fryers for the past few months and nothing comes close to the Ninja. The basket size isn’t the large 5+ quart capacity like the bigger fryers, (Ninja is only 4qt), but this thing cooks so fast you won’t miss the extra 1 qt. It comes w/ a crisper that works perfectly, a recipe book and a multi-layer rack. The first night I had it I made wings and I tell you that I will NEVER buy fried chicken again!!! Yes, they were that crispy and tasted much better. I bought the Louisiana fried chicken flour from Walmart, battered the wings, spritzed w/ a little olive oil and had fried chicken in 10 minutes. No greasy mess, no 3rd degree burns from hot oil, and your house doesn’t smell like a chicken joint for 4 days afterward. Because the Ninja uses a ceramic coating on their fryers the clean up is very easy. Next, I made sweet potato fries! Had a bag of frozen ones in the freezer and popped those babies in for 10 min. They were crispier than McDonald’s. I tried homemade fries but the procedure takes too long. You have to peel, slice, soak potatoes, dry them…I’m just ready to pop them in the fryer and eat! It has been nonstop air fryer cooking in this house! I hit youtube to get a few recipes and it’s been on ever since. I did cinnamon rolls too! I used the canned Pillsbury ones and it normally takes 20 min in the oven. In the Ninja? 8 minutes and that’s if you like them brown. I actually could have stopped it at 5 min and they would be perfect. My house smelled like a Cinnabon factory!😛 I have used every feature on this fryer except the dehydrator but I’ll be making beef jerky soon. Overall, I am VERY pleased! The best selling feature was the price & the size. The Ninja is much slimmer than some of the bulkier fryers and fits under my cabinet nicely. I’m also happy it only used 1500W unlike some of the larger fryers that burn 1800 which could kill your light bill. The outside of the fryer doesn’t get hot so you won’t have to worry about getting burned but do take caution when taking your food out. Is it loud? My exhaust fan on my stove is louder than the Ninja. The extension cord on it is long so you don’t have to worry about being limited on where you can place it. I think I’ve covered everything? This thing is THE BOMB! If you’re wondering what cookware you can use, just about anything you place in a microwave you can put in the Ninja. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a few 7″ foil pans I use to reheat food & bake in. Also, grab you some silicone tongs while you’re there so you don’t scratch the surface of your fryer. This thing has been almost as good as a kid getting a new bike for Christmas. You will NOT be disappointed w/ this purchase. Happy & healthy cooking!”

Customer Review: “Its easy and very fast to cook in. Its also very easy to clean. Anything that can be cooked in an oven can be done in this bad boy with less than half of the overall effort and in a quarter of the time. This unit in particular runs relatively quiet and you can tell its also higher quality than the competition. The basket, while not the largest size offered is roomy and from what I have read this size is the perfect balance for quick good times and available cook area. The unit also shuts down automatically when the basket is removed which makes me as a novice cook feel far more confident in its safety. 10/10”

Customer Review: “I’ve used the air fryer a few times and find it to be consistent and reliable in cooking times and results. This is my third air fryer – I loved my previous two but was worried about safety. One of the selling points of this Cosori air fryer is safety. It has a ceramic coating on the interior that I’m finding is fantastic because of the nonstick easy cleanup. Simple, straightforward cooking instructions with a helpful reminder direction label you can choose to stick on the top. Overall, love this and I plan to take it in our motorhome because of its versatility, quick cook times, and perfect food prep.”

Customer Review: “I was looking for an air fryer, something at least mid-range, and this one really stood out, while I didn’t find many reviews outside of just Amazon, what I did see was largely positive. Its been less than a week, but I’m happy I bought this, especially the luck of it going on sale. The air fryer has a large basket capacity, yesterday I cooked 3 thick Angus beef patties at once, they all cooked through well done and were very good, I did make an extra for my dog, who was very excited for her burger. With what meats I’ve had in the kitchen, everything has been great in the air fryer from the burgers to a can of maple Spam, to some spicy hot links. I’ll have to stock up on frozen snacks and such next time at the store, I do miss fried steak fingers on an air fryer. Also, the machine is extremely easy to use, the touch screen is simple with its presets, and hand washing the basket is easy, get some dish soap and a paper towel, and it’ll be spotless in no time, or buy some air fryer filters and have significantly less necessary cleaning up. I also like that this air fryer is powerful, it gets going quickly, you don’t need to wait to preheat, but you can anyway, on the presets, you can get things done with no fuss, like the burgers, press the meat preset, flip halfway through, and when the timer is near done, you have perfectly cooked through meat that doesn’t lose any of the juices.”

Customer Review: “The Chefman 8 Qt TurboFry has been a great addition to my kitchen. The 450°F Hi-Fry setting really makes a difference — fries and wings come out extra crispy without drying out. The 8-quart capacity is perfect for families or meal prep. I can cook a full batch of chicken or multiple servings at once, no need for repeat batches. It’s easy to use, heats quickly, and the nonstick basket is truly easy to clean (dishwasher-safe is a plus). The stainless steel finish also looks nice on the counter. Only downside: it takes up some space, but that’s expected for an XL size. Overall, a solid air fryer if you want capacity + crispier results.”

Customer Review: “Honestly this has been a great air fryer! Me and my girlfriend have been using it almost everyday since we go it. All the features work great and we especially love the reheat options. If you food prep this is definitely helpful. It heats up quick and cooks just as quickly. We have made steaks, chicken, pork, bacon, pizza, and pretty much anything you can think of in this ary fryer. And so far everything we have cooked has come out perfectly cook. It’s size is perfect for cooking meals for about 4 people and it actually fits perfectly on my apartment counter. I gotta say that for the price this is a very good machine and I am happy with this buy!”

Customer Review: “Awesome size for even a small kitchen. It hold a lot in a compact space and cooks perfectly. It’s also super-easy to clean. So simple, and it cooks evenly.”

Customer Review: “Here’s your updated review with that added:—⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I am OBSESSED with this air fryer! The Bella 6 Qt Slim Air Fryer is hands down the best one I’ve ever owned. First of all, the slim design is a game changer it truly fits anywhere and doesn’t take up a ton of counter space like most air fryers do. It looks so cute in my kitchen too (I got the Blossom color and love it I love anything pink!). The cooking performance is amazing. Everything comes out perfectly crispy on the outside and cooked evenly on the inside. I’ve done everything from breakfast sausage to potatoes and OMG GRILLED CHICKEN is PERFECT and it’s been flawless every time. The preset options make it super easy, but I also love being able to adjust the temperature when I want more control. One thing I didn’t expect it’s SO quiet. You honestly barely hear it running. I didn’t realize how loud my old air fryer was until I got this one! The ceramic nonstick coating is another huge plus—nothing sticks and cleanup is SO easy. That alone makes it worth it for me. Also love the 6 qt size it’s perfect for feeding my family without having to cook in multiple batches. If you’re on the fence, just get it. This one is actually worth the hype!”

Customer Review: “Greta little air fryer. It’s super sleek looking in the kitchen. Works well, has options for different cooking. The color is gorgeous and I got the matching toaster. It’s a great addition to the kitchen.”

Customer Review: “I’d heard neighbors in our senior residence community talking about air fryers, I just had to get one. Delivered today, used tonight to invigorate packaged onion rings and toasted cheese/tomato sandwiches from droop to crisp. And now we too are singing the praises of this product. Its small size is perfect for our limited counter space, and the way it enlivens food is remarkable. Price, performance, ease of clean-up: all endears this fryer to us seniors on fixed incomes who still enjoy tasty food.”

Customer Review: “Wow, just wow! We really like this air fryer. We never had or used one and figured it was time. I read up a bit and knew we wanted to be able to adjust the temp and time and this model has that. Simple and sweet. We used it twice so far and are extremely happy with it; frozen jalapeño poppers and pizza bites…..never tasted this good from the oven, seriously. As fast as the smells when first using? The book explains that, but we could hardly smell it at all…all appliances are like that, big and small. Fires? The book warns not to put the liner in without food or during warming, the hot air will cause it to move around and can catch fire. Simply read the user guide and all will be fine. This is not a fancy unit, but is all we need; we’re happy with it.”

Customer Review: “Wow…this Air Fryer is really amazing! This is our second air fryer and it is soooooo much better than the one it is replacing. This air fryer does everything, and best of all…it keeps the food warm after the cooking is completed so you can serve everything at once. This Cuisinart Air Fryer will obviously air fry, but it also bakes, it roasts, and as previously mentioned, it keeps your food warm once the cooking cycle ends. I actually roasted a small chicken and it came out perfect! Seriously, it cooked the chicken faster and juicier that if I had used my Jenn-Air convection oven. The unit takes up a fair amount of counter space, but is not so heavy that it cannot be stored in a cabinet or pantry and moved to the counter only when needed. It really looks nice due to the stainless steel accents, so if you choose to leave it on your counter, no biggie. The large LED screen on the front is simple to use and lets you know exactly what is going on during whatever cooking cycle you choose. The interior and basket of the unit is coated in ceramic so cleaning is a breeze and you do not have to worry about Teflon or any PFAS chemicals getting into your body after eating things cooked in this unit. The price was reasonable and this air fryer really is FANTASTIC!!!”

Customer Review: “This is my first air fryer and I was surprised by how big it is. That is not a complaint. I’m glad I got a big one. As a single person, it means I can place thinner layers of food and get good size portions of things without having to flip the food too much. I began using this appliance straight out of the box without reading instructions, so it is very easy to use. The buttons are easy enough to figure out. I cooked hashbrown rounds and they came out perfect. Straight from the freezer to cooked and crispy in 15 minutes. I didn’t preheat as the instructions said to do on the food bag. I just adjusted the overall cooking time to what I estimated would be enough time to cook from start to finish, and I got perfect results. This unit is very well made and it has a modern and beautiful appearance that will look good in any kitchen. I like that it is quiet while it is cooking, and it has a bell sound let you know to shake the basket, or flip the food, or that the cooking time is done. I look forward to using this more and learning to cook different things with it.”

Customer Review: “I never write reviews… but I’m obsessed with this air fryer. No joke it has literally changed my life hahhaah. First off – I don’t cook. Never have. Always hated it. I’m neurodivergent and I’m very good at a lot of things but just not in the kitchen – I hate the prep, the smells, the number of options for tools and pans, etc… the way the stove or oven heats up the whole kitchen, and the huge amount of dishes and whatever you have to clean up afterwards. I think the thing that bothers me the most though is that it’s hard to find good recipes – people will just share horrible recipes that take forever to make (and groceries are expensive these days!) You spend all that money and end up with something gross. Or I would mess up and burn something or undercook something because there are so many nuances that go unspoken in cooking. All ovens have different internal temperatures… cooking on gas or electric stoves affect the types of pans you may be using… I don’t even know which pans are good for what types of foods… there’s so much to consider and it all goes widely unsaid in recipes. So I often would try to make something and end up throwing it out. Not fun. Long story short, it’s just not worth it to me. Luckily my spouse is an amazing cook and loves the art of it. He knows how to make anything and how to take a recipe and alter it to be GOOD, so he does all the cooking! Fast-forward to him having to leave for about a month this summer and I’m really struggling in the kitchen alone every day. My mom suggested getting an air fryer to make my life easier – just a small one (she recommended this exact model backed by research and thousands of great reviews). I thought okay maybe it would be nice to heat up some frozen food and have it be cooked better than a microwave at least, I don’t know. I always thought air fryers were a gimicky thing – just another dumb gadget to take up space on the counter. Not interested. But I ordered it anyway… she was adamant I would like it. And oh. My god, was she right. I had no idea!! First of all, pretty much everything frozen or pre-packaged has air fryer instructions on the back. You just dump some stuff in, set the temperature and time, and in a few mintiess, you have something that is PERFECTLY COOKED. It’s too simple. Nothing comes out rubbery or unevenly cooked like in the microwave. Everything is chef’s kiss – crispy, cooked, perfect… almost like grill-level good. And you just push a button. It’s so small, there are no pans or excess dishes to wash after. You just wait for the basket to cool off then rinse with a bit of soap and water the end. Or you can even use those air fryer basket liners – even less clean up! Then I tried making real food… he air fryer recipes on the internet are sooooo simple – buy a thing, season it, maybe spray the air fryer basket with some olive or avocado oil, then press a button. So then I tried to make stuff not from frozen bags! I made buffalo wings… brussel sprouts… cheeseburgers… chicken breast… asparagus… even steak!!! It may sound stupid but this is HUGE for me. Like – I bought raw meat and was 100% confident that the air fryer would cook it correctly and that I wouldn’t make a mess or overwhelm myself. And that’s exactly what happened! Quick, easy dinners in MINUTES with no mess. It’s a miracle. It’s like, what I always wanted cooking to be lol, just pop something in a little drawer, set the time and temp and bam, it’s done. It reminds of that gadget in Back to the Future 2 – I hope someone else remembers this – when they go visit the McFly house in the future and they’re cooking dinner in that “hydrator” thing and the mom pops the food in the drawer and says “hydrate level 4, please” and the food comes out perfect in like 30 seconds, hahaha. THAT’S what I always wanted and THAT’S what the air fryer is to me!!! I’m so obsessed. My spouse is back and I’ve been cooking multiple nights a week and he is STUNNED he can’t stop laughing at my new obsession and is also very impressed that the stuff I’m air frying is really good! So he calls me the air fryer queen now. I just bought another one – a 4 qt. Chefman model so I can cook multiple things at once! So anyway – if you hate cooking and never thought you had a chance… I’m here to tell you there is hope haha. And this lil mini 2 qt. chefman is a hero for the ages.”

Customer Review: “Very nice, little air fryer. Works very well. Easy to clean, fingerprint magnet though. Easy to use, i like the round control knob. Definitely recommend – buyer be aware, it is a small air fryer”
