Difficulty 1/10
Tools Counter space / socket check

Air fryers are useful if they fit your kitchen

An air fryer can save time, but only if the size, basket layout, cleaning routine and storage make sense for your home.

Check before buying

  • Single drawer, dual drawer or oven-style layout.
  • Capacity for your normal meals, not just headline litres.
  • Clearance around vents during use.
  • Basket cleaning and dishwasher compatibility.
  • Where it will live when not in use.

Safety note

Use a suitable socket, keep vents clear and avoid placing hot appliances under low wall units.
