Looking for a cheap air fryer or a great deal on a not so cheap air fryer? Want to eat healthier and cook more efficiently? Well, one of these babies can revitalise your mealtimes. They’re quick and easy to use while the end result will be delicious and nutritious. Better still, new price comparison data from Idealo suggests that right now is the time to secure the best deal on the best air fryer for you.
Strange. When something’s in high demand it usually goes up in price, right? You’ve only got to look at the secondhand car market in the UK to see that in evidence. The best air fryers are bucking the trend however, despite the fact that the beginning of the year is always that time when we start looking at cutting down on junk food and improving our dietary intake.
Newly revealed price comparison data shows that buying an air fryer in the UK right now could save you a wedge of cash. For example, the figures show that compared to a cost of £191.24 in 2021, consumers can now buy an air fryer for £166.62 if they snap one up today, saving 13%. Handy, given the current cost of living crisis that’s unfolding before our very eyes.
Tik Tok and Instagram have really boosted the appeal of air fryers too, just as they previously did for the best Instant Pots and multi-cookers. There’s been 2.8 billion searches for the healthy heating appliances on the Tok, while Instagram has seen similarly frenzied air fryer interest, with 993,000 hashtags appearing.
Air fryers: what's hot?
As you’d expect, while there’s a hunger for all makes and models of air fryer, some brands are more in demand than others. Top of the pile is Tefal as well as Ninja, with the data indicating that the Tefal EY201840 air fryer is currently available with a beefy saving of 30%. At one point over the last 12 months it would have cost you £79.09, whereas now it can be found for just £55.00.
Similarly impressive is the Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer AF300UK, which had been retailing for £199.00 over the same time period. Right now it can be tracked down for just £177.99, which represents a smallish, but tidy 11% saving. Meanwhile, the Ninja AF100UK Air Fryer has been £149.00 and can currently be purchased for £129.00, so that’s a sweet 13% off, right there.
Lookout too, for the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF400UK, which is great for larger families or the super hungry thanks to its twin basket design. It has been £227.99, but is currently doing the rounds for £197.99, so that's another 13% off that one. Finally, our in-house fave, the Tefal ActiFry Genius XL 2 in 1 YV970840 is still reassuringly expensive, yet gets a 20% saving from the £268.99 of the last 12 months because you can currently pick it up for £213.89.
Of course, these prices aren't set in stone and it pays to shop around, but if they're a general guide then the time to buy your air fryer is, therefore, right this minute.
