Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between basket and oven-style air fryers?
Basket air fryers are typically more compact and easier to store, while oven-style models offer more cooking space and versatility. Basket models are great for quick meals, while oven-style models can handle larger items and multiple dishes.
How do I choose the right capacity?
Consider your household size and typical cooking needs. For 1-2 people, 3-5 quarts is usually sufficient. For 3-4 people, look for 5-7 quarts. For larger families or entertaining, consider 8+ quarts or an oven-style model.
Are more expensive air fryers worth it?
Higher-priced models often offer better build quality, more features, and improved performance. However, there are excellent budget options available. The best choice depends on your specific needs and how often you'll use the appliance.
