How we picked these products

Evaluating everything from ease of use and assembly, to food’s crispiness, juiciness and evenness, our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute tested a variety of models to find the best air fryers. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust. They tested each machine for user-friendliness, efficiency, cleanability, noise level during operation, and temperature range.
