How to Choose an Air Fryer in Australia
Capacity
Single-person: 2–4L. Couples/small families: 4–6L. Families: 7L+. Dual-zone models (two baskets) offer flexibility for cooking different foods simultaneously.
Single vs Dual Basket
Dual-basket models (Ninja Foodi series) let you cook two dishes at different temperatures/times with Sync finish. Single baskets are simpler and cheaper.
Functions Beyond Air Frying
Look for roast, bake, dehydrate, and reheat modes. Grill plates (Tefal) and rotisserie functions add versatility.
Cleaning
Dishwasher-safe baskets and non-stick coatings make a huge difference to daily usability. Avoid models with hard-to-reach heating elements.
Bench Space
Measure your bench before buying — dual-zone models are wide. The Ninja DoubleStack solves this with vertical stacking.
