The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL is our favorite air fryer, and it's easy to see why. The premium design looks great, plus it's the only air fryer we tested (at least that we've tested) with fat removal technology. Not sure how fat removal technology works? It's essentially a filtration system located in the air fryer basket that captures excess fat from the food. The fat is then drained into a collection bucket, and the basket is cleaned, ready for the next batch. The fat removal technology works great, and we found that the fat collection bucket worked quite well. However, keep in mind that the fat removal technology can't remove 100% of the fat from the food, so there's bound to be some fat in the food. But we found the fat to be negligible. The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL is also easy to use and clean. The controls are intuitive, and there's even a timer you can set.

The Aigostar Electric Deep Fat Fryer is large, easy to use, and easy to clean. It's one of the best deep fryers we've used, and it's fast, too. The unit is large, but it weighs only 11 pounds, so it's portable enough to fit in almost any kitchen. The fryer has a clear viewing window that allows you to see when the chicken or fish are almost done. The fryer has two separate timers, one for power and one for frying, so it's easy to keep track of how long it's been heating. The unit is large, so you can't fry a big batch of food all at once, but that's also a good thing: You can fry up smaller batches of food, and the unit has plenty of space in the basket. The fryer has 3.2 quarts of oil capacity, which is large enough to cook up to 12 cups of chicken or fish. It takes about 5 minutes to heat up the oil. The fryer has 1650 watts of power, which is ideal for frying large batches of food. The heating element is immersible, so it heats the oil indirectly. The fryer has a safety feature that will automatically shut off the machine if it's been in use for a prolonged period of time, and it's ETL certified, so it's safe. The fryer's splatter shield and cover help prevent hot oil splatter. The fryer also has non-slip pads on the bottom, which increase stability. The fryer works well, and it's easy to use. The Aigostar Electric Deep Fat Fryer has nicely browned, crispy food, and it's fast.

The Bella Electric Air Fryer makes fried food taste great without all the calories, fat, and grease. It's easy to use, cooks food quickly, and cleanup is a breeze. However, the Bella Air Fryer is pricier than some comparable air fryers, and it requires more counter space. The one drawback is that the basket isn't dishwasher safe, so you'll have to clean it by hand after cooking. Otherwise, the Bella is a terrific air fryer, and it easily ranks among the best we've ever tested.

The Philips Airfryer is a healthy alternative to deep frying, and it's perfect for anyone who wants a quick, easy, and delicious way to fry their food at home. The Philips Airfryer is the healthiest way to fry, using little or no added oil to fry your favorite food. It's the only air fryer with fat removal technology that reduces and captures excess fat.

The Fat Daddio's PRD-73 Round Cake Pan is perfect for baking cakes, cupcakes, and tartlets, as well as serving dessert. The round shape makes it easy to slice and serve, and the nonstick surface makes it easy to release baked goods. The aluminum construction heats quickly and evenly, and the pan's nonstick coating makes for easy release and clean up. The PRD-73 is dishwasher-safe, but we recommend that you hand-wash it to preserve the nonstick coating. The pan comes with a handy size guide to help you choose the correct size pan for your recipe. The pan has an inner diameter of 7 inches and a depth of 3 inches, which fits the 6-quart and 8-quart pressure cookers and 3.4, 4, 5.3, and 10-quart air fryers. The pan's nonstick coating is safe for citrus-based foods, so it's great for home cooks who regularly bake with lemons, limes, and oranges, and it's also safe to use in the freezer, oven, and pressure cooker.

The pan is priced lower than most comparable pans, but we found that the quality of its construction and nonstick coating was on par with more expensive pans. The PRD-73 isn't perfect, however. The pan's nonstick coating is prone to scratching. The pan's anodized aluminum construction is prone to denting, and we found that the metal became dented after several months of daily use. The pan is also a bit small. The pan's inner diameter measures 7 inches, but it's 3 inches deep, which limits how large you can make a cake. The pan's inner diameter also limits how you can fit the cake in the oven. The PRD-73's nonstick coating is slightly rough, so cakes made with it tend to stick to the pan. The PRD-73's nonstick coating is also prone to scratching. The PRD-73's anodized aluminum construction is prone to denting. The PRD-73's nonstick coating is prone to scratching.

The COSTWAY deep fryer offers a lot of bang for the buck, making it an excellent choice if you're looking for a deep fryer that is powerful enough to produce crispy food, but won't break the bank. Like our other top picks, this deep fryer has an adjustable temperature control, letting you set it from 302 to 374 degrees Fahrenheit. It's not quite as versatile as our other top picks, which let you set the temperature from 160 to 320 degrees, but it is more than powerful enough for most frying tasks. The fry basket is also removable, and the oil pan is removable as well, making cleanup simple. The oil container is large, with a capacity of 3.2 quarts, so you won't have to worry about running out of oil during a long frying session.

The lid has a viewing window that makes it easy to know when your oil has reached the right temperature.

The basket is also higher than most, so it's easier to remove food without splattering oil everywhere. The oil tank is removable, so it's easy to clean.

Yolk, the makers of COSORI air fryers, have been making kitchen appliances since 2005. While COSORI focuses on durable, high-value appliances, Yolk is devoted to making kitchen products easy and fun to use. The COSORI Air Fryer Oven Combo is Yolk's latest air fryer, and it's fairly similar to previous models. The basket is nonslip, nonstick, and removable, and it has a 5.8-quart capacity. The touch screen is easy to navigate and displays 11 preset temperatures. Users can adjust each preset's timer, temperature, and texture. Like other air fryers, the COSORI Air Fryer Oven Combo has a range of preset temperature options. The recommended temperature for cake is 400F, and the recommended temperature for chicken is 390F. We cooked a chicken in the combo at 390F for 25 minutes, and it came out crispy and flavorful. The air fryer cooks much faster than traditional deep-frying methods. It's also very easy to clean, and it's dishwasher safe. The COSORI Air Fryer Oven Combo's design is nice, too. It's square, so it's easy to store, and it has a non-slip, nonstick basket. The basket is spacious, and the corner spaces provide more cooking area and flexibility than round designs. The outside is black, and the air fryer has a clean, simple design. The air fryer also cooks a wide variety of foods. Just choose your preset, set the temperature, and cook time, and you're ready to cook.
