Budget air fryers and space-saving upgrades

Choose for the meals you cook and the worktop you have. One usable drawer can be more practical than two small compartments, while separate cooking zones can help with different foods. Our opening picks illustrate those choices using Good Food’s testing and manufacturer details. A price reduction matters only if the capacity and physical layout work in your kitchen.

How we choose and describe these picks

These are researched shortlists, not WantThis hands-on tests. The reasons to compare a product are our editorial judgement. We attribute a reviewer’s findings to that publication, label specification-led choices and do not infer an owner consensus from star ratings. A reference to a publisher is not an endorsement of WantThis.

Each offer is a separate dated check for the named model and bundle. Unknown delivery, unavailable stock, membership prices and expired checks stay out of budget results. We do not call a price a saving without comparable price-history evidence.

Before you compare prices

  • Measure the appliance plus the clearance required by its instructions, including space to open drawers.
  • Litres alone do not describe the usable cooking area or a particular meal’s portions.
  • Check cleaning, basket replacement and whether the appliance will remain on the worktop.

Find a pick for your budget

Budget results use public offers checked within 24 hours, including the stated standard delivery. These are dated checks, not live prices or a search of every shop. Confirm your postcode, stock and final total at checkout.

2 picks to compare

Single drawer

Cosori TurboBlaze 6L

TurboBlaze 6L, black UK

A good fit for: Cooks who want one useful basket and straightforward meal planning

Why it makes our shortlist

We would compare the TurboBlaze first when a single cooking zone suits the household. Its inclusion in Good Food’s tested selection gives a reason to investigate it beyond the feature list. Check the basket against the foods you make most often and compare the actual delivered price before paying extra for a second drawer.

The trade-off: One drawer cannot run two separate temperatures at once. The manufacturer listing checked for this guide was sold out, so that offer is not a budget match.

Check the package: Black UK 6-litre model. Check the supplied basket and accessories, and avoid confusing it with a US-voltage version.

Stacked dual drawer

Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L

SL400UK, 9.5L UK

A good fit for: Kitchens where worktop width is the limiting dimension

Why it makes our shortlist

The stacked layout is the reason to compare this model: it tackles width differently from a side-by-side dual drawer. We would shortlist it for someone who wants separate zones and has checked the height and depth available. A discount is useful only after confirming the cabinet clearance and drawer-opening space.

The trade-off: It is tall and deep, and Good Food notes noise as a drawback. A single-drawer model may be simpler if you rarely need separate zones.

Check the package: SL400UK 9.5-litre UK model. Check the two drawers and rack accessories in the exact package.

Common questions

Is a dual-drawer fryer always better?

No. Separate zones help with different foods, but one larger usable basket may suit the meals you cook. Compare the layout, not only total litres.

Why show a researched model without a current offer?

The research can remain useful while stock or price needs checking. Such a model stays out of budget results until a complete recent offer is recorded.
