The 12 Best Air Fryers of 2026: Basket, Dual Basket and Oven Picks
Twelve air fryers for every kitchen, from a 2-quart Dash to a Breville oven that fits a turkey, with the features worth paying for and the ones to skip.
Best overall: Cosori TurboBlaze. Best dual basket: Ninja Foodi DualZone. Best with a thermometer: Typhur Sync. Best air fryer oven: Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
Air fryers all do the same basic job, circulating hot air fast to crisp food with little oil. What separates them is size, shape and a few features you’ll actually use, like a window, a second basket or a built-in thermometer.
These twelve cover every style, one per brand, all sold on Amazon US. The picks lean on America’s Test Kitchen and Tom’s Guide testing plus thousands of Amazon reviews.

The 12 Best Air Fryers, Reviewed
Basket models first, then dual-basket, smart and oven-style picks, and the tiny Dash last.
Cosori TurboBlaze 6-Qt Air Fryer (CAF-DC601)
If you only buy one air fryer, make it this one. America’s Test Kitchen rated it Highly Recommended, and it has 4.8 stars from more than 22,000 Amazon ratings, the best score on this list.
Five fan speeds and a 90 to 450°F range cover everything from dehydrating apple chips to searing wings. Cosori says it stays under 53 dB on its top speed, and the square PFAS-free ceramic basket goes in the dishwasher.
- Highest rating here
- Low 90°F setting for dehydrating
- Quiet for its power
- One basket only
- Some colors cost more
Instant Vortex Plus ClearCook 6-Qt Air Fryer
The Instant Vortex Plus 6-quart won America’s Test Kitchen’s air fryer test, and ATK named a ClearCook model its upgrade pick. The ClearCook adds a window so you can watch fries brown instead of pulling the basket.
It air fries, roasts, broils, bakes, reheats and dehydrates, and you can save your own presets for the dishes you make most. The basket and trays are dishwasher-safe.
- Window means fewer basket checks
- Comes from ATK’s winning line
- Save-your-own presets
- Max temperature not on the listing
- Single basket
Ninja Foodi DualZone XL 10-Qt Air Fryer (DZ401)
The most popular air fryer here by a wide margin, with over 36,000 ratings. Two full 5-quart baskets run separately, and Smart Finish times them so chicken and fries land together.
Match Cook copies one basket’s settings to the other when you need 10 quarts of the same thing, like wings for a crowd. The nonstick is PFAS-free and the crisper plates go in the dishwasher. See every two-basket option in our best dual basket air fryers.
- Two dishes, one finish time
- 36,000+ ratings
- Cooks two 6-lb chickens, per Ninja
- Wide footprint
- No window
Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer, 9.5 Qt (NA351/00)
Tom’s Guide picked this as its best dual-zone air fryer in June 2026. Rather than two equal baskets, it pairs a big 6.3-quart drawer with a smaller side drawer, which suits how most dinners actually look.
Auto-Sync finishes both drawers together, presets cover fries, chicken, fish, vegetables and cake, and the HomeID app adds guided recipes. Both drawers are dishwasher-safe.
- Tom’s Guide’s best dual zone
- Big 6.3-quart main drawer
- Drawers sized for main + side
- Only 23 Amazon ratings so far
Typhur Sync 8-Qt Air Fryer with Built-In Wireless Thermometer
Overcooked chicken breasts end here. The wireless probe lives inside the fryer, shows the internal temperature on the panel and your phone, and alerts you the moment food is ready, then recharges magnetically in the base.
The 10.3-inch square basket fits a 6-lb chicken or a 9-inch pizza, and Whole Chicken mode uses two-stage heating for crisp skin. The ceramic basket, grill plate and probe are all dishwasher-safe.
- No more cutting meat open to check
- Fits a 6-lb chicken
- Probe is dishwasher-safe
- Fewer ratings than the big names
- App needs iOS 16+ or Android 8+
Chefman TurboFry 8-Qt Air Fryer
A big 8-quart basket in the lowest price tier, backed by nearly 17,000 ratings. It keeps things simple: four presets for fries, chicken, meat and fish, plus a light that reminds you to shake the basket.
The square basket and flat tray go on the top rack of the dishwasher. The listing gives a 200 to 400°F range in its description and a 450°F Hi-Fry option in its title.
- 8 quarts for less
- Shake reminder
- Simple controls
- Fewer functions
- Temperature details vary on the listing
Cuisinart ClearView 4-Qt Glass Basket Air Fryer (AFC-4)
No nonstick coating at all: the basket is borosilicate glass you can see straight through, with a top window and interior light too. Open it and the heat pauses, then picks back up when you close it.
Five functions reach 450°F, and it fits about 2 lb of wings or a 4-lb chicken. The glass basket and crisper plate are PFAS-free and dishwasher-safe, and a storage lid turns the basket into a leftovers container.
- No coating to wear off
- See food from every angle
- Doubles as a storage dish
- 4 quarts suits 1 to 3 people
Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer, 6 Qt
Tom’s Guide’s best smart air fryer (June 2026). It combines a cook probe, a water atomizer and super convection to cook in stages, so meat stays juicy while the outside browns.
Chef Mode runs ingredient-based programs, Classic Mode works like a normal air fryer, and Probe Mode is fully manual. The app plays step-by-step video recipes, the glass window shows progress and the parts are dishwasher-safe.
- Tom’s Guide’s best smart pick
- Probe + mist for juicy meat
- Guided video recipes
- Top price tier
- More to learn than a basic fryer
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (BOV900BSS)
Part air fryer, part full oven. The 16 × 13.5-inch interior fits a 14-lb turkey, nine slices of toast or most 9 × 13 pans, so it can stand in for your oven on busy days.
Thirteen functions include toast, bagel, pizza, proof, slow cook and dehydrate. Breville’s Element iQ steers heat between five quartz elements, and super convection cuts cooking time by up to 30%, according to Breville.
- Replaces a toaster oven too
- Fits most 9 × 13 pans
- 13,000+ ratings
- Top price tier
- About 21.5 inches wide
Our Place Wonder Oven, 6-in-1, 13 Qt
A pretty, compact oven that air fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, broils and reheats. Its party trick is a splash of water that steams stale bread and leftovers back to life.
Two rack levels serve 2 to 4 people and fit a 4.5-lb chicken, and Our Place says it preheats 75% faster than a traditional oven. It’s Amazon’s #1 best seller in convection ovens.
- Steam revives leftovers
- Small footprint
- Comes in 5 colors
- Smaller than full toaster ovens
Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp 4-Slice Air Fryer Toaster Oven (31403)
The lowest-priced oven-style pick. It toasts, bakes, broils and air fries from 200 to 450°F, with a 30-minute timer that shuts itself off.
It fits four slices of bread, a 9-inch pizza or a 3-lb chicken in an 8 × 8 pan, and comes with a metal air fry basket, bake pan, broil rack and crumb tray.
- Lowest-priced oven here
- Everything included
- Small footprint
- Only 4 functions
Dash Compact Air Fryer, 2 Qt
Small, light and in the lowest price tier, with over 16,000 ratings. Dash says AirCrisp uses up to 75% less added fat than deep frying, and the compact body fits dorm rooms and office kitchens.

- Tiny footprint
- Lowest price tier

Air Fryer Features Worth Paying For
- A window: you check food without losing heat. Instant ClearCook, Cuisinart ClearView and Dreo have one.
- A built-in thermometer: worth it if you cook a lot of chicken or salmon. Typhur and Dreo include a probe.
- Coating you’re comfortable with: Cosori, Ninja and Typhur list PFAS-free coatings; Cuisinart uses glass.
- A low temperature setting: Cosori starts at 90°F and Typhur at 105°F, handy for dehydrating fruit.
- Dishwasher-safe parts: every basket model here except the Dash lists dishwasher-safe baskets or trays.
Skip paying extra for: long preset lists you won’t use. Most cooks stick to two or three settings. Curious about power draw? See air fryer wattage.

How to Choose an Air Fryer
Six quick questions to narrow it down.
Who are you feeding?
2 to 4 quarts for one, about 6 for 2 to 4 people, 8 quarts or dual baskets for bigger families.
Square beats round
Square baskets like Cosori’s and Typhur’s fit more food in one layer.
Basket or oven
Baskets crisp fastest; ovens fit pans and replace a toaster.
Ceramic, nonstick or glass
Cosori, Ninja and Typhur list PFAS-free coatings; Cuisinart’s basket is glass.
Check the decibels
Cosori says the TurboBlaze stays under 53 dB at full speed.
Measure first
Dual-basket models and toaster ovens need far more width than a 6-quart basket.
