You might have heard of airfryers but what the heck are they and do you need one?
Well, if healthy eating is high on your list you might well find an airfryer a useful addition to your kitchen.
Technically it doesn’t actually fry your food – you’d need more oil for that – but the result is pretty close.
So, how does an airfyrer work? Well, it has amazing technology that spins hot air around the base and up the sides which means anything you put inside will get a thorough continuous blast of hot air – a bit like a fan forced oven – but faster.
According to canstarblue.com.au, 39% of people bought an air fryer to be healthier and 32% bought one for convenience.
Whatever your needs, here are some reviews of the best air fryers in Australia.
#5 Kmart 3.2 Litre Air Fryer
Kmart 3.2 has an LED control, adjustable temperature up to 200ºC and a 30 minute auto shut off. It’s basic and affordable but works a treat.
Diane E says “Love this! Been using it everyday since purchase, I barely use the oven at all anymore, this is so much faster and cooks better. Wish I purchased sooner.
RRP $69
#4 Delonghi MultiCuisine FH1396
The Delonghi multi function appliance can cook pizza, cakes and pies as well as air fry hot chips using minimal oil.
Rachel from QLD says, “Quick, clean easy to use. No more oil splatters or having to wait around while things cook in the gas oven or on the stove. Just set, start and come back to perfectly cooked vegetables, roasts, homemade chips etc.”
“Only negative is that it is quite noisy while running but the results are worth it.”
RRP $499
#3 Healthy Choice 10L Digital Multi Function Air Fryer
As you can see in the video above, the Healthy Choice 10L Digital Multi Function Air Fryer, available from kogan.com is easy to use and will crisp up a basket of hot chips with very little oil and almost zero effort.
MJ says, “For the price this airfryer is amazing! I have used it to bake a cake so far and it turned out great, the see through lid lights up periodically offering a great view of your food so that you don’t need to lift the lid to check every time.”
RRP $449
#2 Philips Digital TurboStar Airfryer
An impressive 97% of reviewers recommend the Philips Digital TurboStar Airfyer.
Why? Maybe because it evenly browns everything from chicken, chops and chips while keeping the centre deliciously tender.
The heated airflow comes from the top and you don’t need to turn it half way through cooking (like you do with some others).
David from NSW says, “It is fair to say that it has exceeded our expectations by a wide margin, having almost completely replaced the fry pan and the oven as the cooker of choice.”
“Baked salmon, pork, chicken are quickly dispatched and absolutely delicious … Easy to use, easy to clean. We have added a couple of options since buying – a small rack and a baking pan. These add versatility and they will be frequently used. Our family cannot recommend this too highly.”
RRP $399
#1 Bellini Digital Air Fryer
The Bellini Digital Air Fryer from Target gets the thumbs up from 96% of reviewers and as an affordable option it gets our vote as the perfect entry to the air frying experience.
This bench top appliance comes with the usual hot air technology and digital touch buttons. But unlike some of the others it has a pull out basket which makes it super easy to remove your basket of air fried chips in 15 minutes.
One reviewer from Sydney says, “This was my first time trying an air fryer, I was originally looking at a more expensive brand but thought id try the Bellini after reading some reviews.”
“It is a great product and makes the crispiest chips!”
RRP $99
