Apart from investing in quality stainless steel cookware, no other piece of equipment has revolutionised my kitchen more than my air fryer. Despite it being a cheap no-brand hand-me-down, my air fryer has consistently produced delicious meals and revived leftover takeaway for close to zero effort.

I could only imagine how much better my meals could get with a higher-quality air fryer, and that’s prompted me to shop around for an upgrade during Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale. It turns out that there are plenty of air fryer deals and now I’m struggling to pick just one to buy.

The good news is that I can share these deals with you, if you’re also in the same boat as me, or if you’re buying an air fryer for the first time.

From some of the best air fryers across a range of use cases to some affordable options at the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, here are 7 deals I’ve found:

Philips 2000 Series air fryer (4.2L)
Save 47% (AU$84)
Philips 2000 Series air fryer (4.2L): was AU$179 now AU$95 at Amazon

This may be the cheapest in this list, but the Philips 2000 Series has something that most air fryers at this price point don’t have (but should) — a window and light to let you see what you’re cooking. Our colleague at Tom’s Guide said that was enough for them to not go back to any other type of air fryer, and it helped that it was easy to use and has a sleek look to it. For under AU$100, the value is unbeatable for an air fryer like this.

If you need more room, the 6.2L version is also on sale for AU$147 and you can find the 7.2L 5000 Series linked below.

Russell Hobbs Satisfry 9L dual basket air fryer
Save 41% (AU$77.75)
Russell Hobbs Satisfry 9L dual basket air fryer: was AU$191.95 now AU$114.20 at Amazon

Do you often cook for a crowd? Our favourite budget air fryer has a massive 9L capacity thanks to its dual basket design, and the Russel Hobbs Satisfry also performed well in our tests. This deal makes this air fryer just slightly more expensive than Russell Hobbs’ 5.5L single-basket model, almost doubling the capacity for just AU$14 more.

Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer oven
Save 57% (AU$200)
Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer oven: was AU$349 now AU$149 at Amazon

If you prefer an air fryer that looks and works a bit like a conventional oven, Instant Pot’s Vortex Plus air fryer oven should fit the bill. It has a generous 10L capacity to allow you to fit two cooking trays when you need to feed a crowd, and there’s also enough room to cook a rotisserie chicken. We’ve seen the Vortex Plus oven cheaper before, but 57% off is still hard to pass up.

Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90)
Save 56% (AU$250)
Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90): was AU$449 now AU$199 at Amazon

Philips is the undisputed king of air fryers and this 56% discount is close to the all-time low price for this model. The 5000 Series XXL offers a generous 7.2L/1.4kg capacity (enough to feed six people), 16 different cooking functions and even Wi-Fi connectivity and a smartphone app with recipes that can send commands straight to the fryer. The basket is also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

Ninja Crispi
Save 23% (AU$70)
Ninja Crispi: was AU$299.99 now AU$229.99 at Amazon

For something a little different, Ninja’s Crispi uses two borosilicate glassware containers that serve as both frying baskets and serving dishes, instead of plastic or metal ones with non-stick coatings. The Crispi packs 1700W of power into a portable design, and it also comes with two removable crisping grates and two snap-on container lids for easy food storage post-feast. Ninja released the larger Crispi Pro last week, so it’s no surprise that the older model is getting some good discounts right now, but if you don't need to feed up to 10 people, the original Crispi will suffice.

Ninja DoubleStack Air Fryer
Save 55% (AU$330.99)
Ninja DoubleStack Air Fryer: was AU$599.99 now AU$269 at Amazon

This air fryer is our favourite here at TechRadar, and for good reason — it allows you to cook two items at the same time without taking too much space in your kitchen. Philips has now released a similar model, but we don’t think it has outshined the OG from Ninja just yet. Each drawer gives you about 4.5L capacity, so you can make a main and a side easily enough for two or three people.

Ninja Woodfire
Save 33% (AU$233.54)
Ninja Woodfire: was AU$699.99 now AU$466.45 at Amazon

This is primarily an electric barbecue and smoker, but the Ninja Woodfire also has an air frying function, so this still counts. We’ve named this one of the best air fryers specifically for being an outdoor option, and our reviewer found it was easy to use and produced tasty food with minimal mess and hassle. While we’ve seen the Woodfire cheaper before, this discount makes it a lot more affordable than a conventional barbecue and smoker.
