The best cheap air fryer we've tested is the Beautiful 6qt Digital.
Top-rated by both RTINGS and Wirecutter, the COSORI TurboBlaze delivers near-Ninja crispness at a budget price. Its 6-quart capacity and multiple fan speeds make it genuinely versatile for roasting, baking, and dehydrating.
Wirecutter's top pick overall and a Reddit community favorite, the Ninja AF101/AF161 heats fast, cooks evenly, and is dead simple to use. It's the benchmark every other air fryer is measured against.
The only air fryer with a glass bowl design, the Ninja Crispi is nontoxic, portable, and doubles as a storage container. CNET called it the best air fryer buy in 2026 after a year of real-world use.
Two 4-quart baskets let you cook two different foods simultaneously at different temps, a genuine time-saver for households cooking varied meals. Wirecutter specifically called it out as a standout dual-basket option.
