Air fryers were a lockdown sensation, both with people who wanted to eat chips with fewer calories and foodies interested in trying new flavour combinations and cooking techniques. The result was a boom not unlike the one for Instant Pots a few years ago. Not surprisingly, the best Cyber Monday deals already include price cuts on numerous air fryers including some of the very best air fryers.
• Shop all Amazon air fryer deals – there are plenty, believe me.
The ones I've picked out here start with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer, which is an Instant Pot that is also an air fryer. So with that one you're getting two of the most popular cooking products of the last five years in a single device. A single device, with two lids, in fact.
Already got an Instant Pot? Try the Philips Essential XL Air Fryer. This loses the pressure/slow cook element to focus fully on good, old-fashioned air frying, like mama used to make.
If both of the above are a bit rich for your tastes there are also two large air fryers at rock bottom prices, from Breville: the Halo Air Fryer and perhaps best of all, the Halo Rotisserie Air Fryer, which is also a rotisserie, obviously. So you can skewer and spit roast to your heart's content, like a 21st century Henry VIII.
Remember: these offers must end soon. Don't wait for the best Cyber Monday deals; strike while the iron is hot.

Duncan is the former lifestyle editor of T3 and has been writing about tech for almost 15 years. He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime. His current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself. He also covers cycling and ebikes – like over-using italics, this is another passion of his. In his long and varied lifestyle-tech career he is one of the few people to have been a fitness editor despite being unfit and a cars editor for not one but two websites, despite being unable to drive. He also has about 400 vacuum cleaners, and is possibly the UK's leading expert on cordless vacuum cleaners, despite being decidedly messy. A cricket fan for over 30 years, he also recently become T3's cricket editor, writing about how to stream obscure T20 tournaments, and turning out some typically no-nonsense opinions on the world's top teams and players.
Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years.
A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know."
