Looking for the best of air fryer ovens? Here is Kitchen Cookware and Appliances’ take featuring 3 of the best available. With so many air fryers available we decided to break it down based on a couple of categories.
Size, materials used for construction and ideal kitchen based on size were some of the main categories considered during the vetting process. As always design, function and longevity remain the core baseline categories. All categories factored help weed out the best all-rounder for regular use (keep this in mind when reading).
Stainless or brushed stainless steel tends to last long and it fits right in with kitchen designs. The average servings needed for each kitchen varies, it’s why these three air fryer ovens range from large, medium and small. We aim to only recommend products that will last with regular use.

All About Air Fryers.
Is it more than a gimmick appliance?
Air fryers are touted as a single-use appliance by some, this being the nicest way of putting it. While this might be true for some kitchens it’s not for every single kitchen. Traditional Convection and True Convection ovens can produce similar results with the right cookware. All ya need is a baking pan sheet with a rack. If you learn more about the difference between the two I highly recommend visiting Don’s Appliances post European vs. American Convection: What’s the Difference? they cover it all clearly and concisely.
Others deem air fryers as a flat out waste of money. Honestly it depends on the kitchen and cooking habitats. The extra heating element combined with a high velocity fan does make food crispier without much prep work or turning food while in the oven.
It is true that not every kitchen needs a new countertop appliance or new freestanding oven. Even air fryer enthusiasts know this, it’s all about preference. It’s so cool how your personal cooking style can help shape your kitchen’s cookware and go to appliance.
There are legitimate reasons why someone would or wouldn’t want an air fryer oven. The number one reason for wanting one is to exercise it’s air frying capabilities. One of the main reasons for not getting one is already having a fully operational oven, which is a pretty good reason.
The biggest reason would be necessity, which is dependent on cooking preference. Overtime as you cook more and more you’ll eventually find a preference, best suited for you. While we all have to eat who says we can’t make it fun and humorous. WhY sO SeRiOuS?
Some kitchens do require a new appliance. If this is the case, getting it as soon as possible should be top priority. Don’t let the options scare you. A little research today can go a long way, sometime 20 years plus.
Whether it’s to replace, update or add to a kitchen’s capabilities. Air fryer ovens are anything but a single-use appliance in the right kitchen. It’s all about combining preference and purpose.
So what happens if you’re just looking for a gift and don’t know about how air fryer ovens work. Check out our post How do Air Fryer Ovens Work? hopefully it helps.

A quick rundown of what we view as the best.
For the air frying enthusiasts cooking for 2-5 people or more, I highly recommend Frigidaire’s Gallery 30” Front Control Range with Air Fry. It can come in as an induction, gas or electric range. This air frying oven offers the most cooking capacity for residential purposes.
For air frying enthusiasts cooking for 2-3 people, the Digital Countertop Oven with Air Fry from KitchenAid is a top tier choice. The main appeal of this air fryer is the cooking capacity and the fact it’s made from stainless steel.
For air frying enthusiasts cooking 1-2 servings, the Cuisinart Compact Air Fryer is a solid choice. The small design takes up less space and the stainless steel makes cleaning up easy.
