Product Information

Having tested quite a few bulky and heavy air fryers, this made for a refreshing change. There are no smart apps to contend with or confusing control panels to conquer, either. The auto-switch off timer, ranging from 1 to 60 minutes, ensures that your food is cooked to perfection without any guesswork. The adjustable temperature setting, which ranges from 40°C to 200°C, allows you to customize the cooking process based on your preferences and the recipe at hand. These features make cooking with the DIDO Air Fryer a breeze.

We cooked the same food in each model: chips, roasted vegetables, sausages and fish fingers. We were looking for tasty, healthy, appetising results (everything took a little experimentation to get right) but we also wanted to see how easy each machine is to use, how much space it takes up, how much it costs to run and how easy it is to clean. Programmes: air fryer, Speedi meals, steam bake, steam, grill, steam air fry, bake/roast, dehydrate, sear/sauté, slow cook Manufacturers make bold promises about being 75 per cent healthier than conventional fried food, and in my tests I never used more than one or two teaspoons of oil. For some dishes, I needed none at all. How much oil do I need to add in an air fryer? I really enjoyed using this fryer as the 5.7L basket is deep and gives you enough room for up to six portions. The drawer pulls out a little swiftly, so you’ll need to be mindful when taking food out, but I can tell the design is made from quality materials and built to last.We recommend no fewer than four Ninja air fryers and, in some ways, that would be enough to cover the whole market. They are very much the dominant brand. First up is the AF100UK, Ninja’s bestselling air fryer and one of the simplest to use on this list. Yes. “Air fryers require less oil compared to deep fat frying or pan frying and so help reduce the calorie content of the overall meal; it’s definitely a healthier way to cook whilst preserving taste and texture,” confirms nutritionist Jenna Hope. It’s also markedly less messy than regular frying. It is true that thermoplastic coatings can still release harmful compounds when heated to very high temperatures of 260C or above, but air fryers don’t reach temperatures that high. If you’re dead set against thermoplastics, consider an air fryer that uses ceramic cooking surfaces, such as the Ninja AF100 above. Results are similar to the Philips above. Chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, if a little dry. Burgers and sausages cook as well as in a normal oven, and in about two thirds of the time, but again look a little dry. Cakes come out well, but you do need to keep an eye on them since all the settings are inaccurate by a fraction. Air-fryers differ in size and versatility, so it’s worth considering the following while you do your research.

I wasn’t expecting the cheapest model (by far) on this list to come out near the top of my testing, but the Tower Air Fryer is a budget powerhouse. It’s very easy to set up and clean, with a simple drawer design, and the end results were as good as those from air fryers three times the price. It heats up in seconds and cooked chips in 20 minutes, sausages and fish fingers in 12-15, and vegetables in just six. The beauty of the dual drawer design is the ‘sync’ feature. It means you can set each drawer to a different time and temperature and the air fryer will ensure both finish at the same time. I found this particularly useful for cooking meat and vegetables. The aluminium and plastic Cosori Lite comes ‘truffle grey’ and a ‘milk white’, both with a stylish orange trim. The overall feel is premium. It has rounded corners and its basket opens and closes smoothly, without sliding out too fast like some air fryers can.If buying an air fryer, however, make sure it’s big enough to feed your whole family. Having to do two lots of cooking will negate its time- and energy-saving benefits. You will also have to balance its capacity against storage: some can be quite big. ClearCook here denotes a viewing window, a scarce feature in the air fryer world but one that comes in very handy. It lets you see when your sausages are starting to brown and need a turn, or if your chips need a good shake to evenly coat them in oil. It’s also great for baking cakes: my air-fried banana bread rose really nicely inside. Customers have praised the DIDO Air Fryer for its excellent performance and versatility. Many have raved about the crispy results it delivers without the need for excessive oil. The convenience of the timer and temperature control has also been a standout feature, allowing users to achieve perfectly cooked meals every time. Overall Value The DIDO Air Fryer provides an excellent alternative to traditional deep frying methods. By using rapid air circulation, it significantly reduces the need for oil while still delivering the same deliciously crunchy results. You can now enjoy your favorite fried foods guilt-free, knowing that they contain less fat. Versatile Meal Preparation The digital control panel is easy to navigate. I like the simple dial allowing me to adjust time and temperature settings, from an accurate 49℃ to 205℃. There’s a good range of pre-set cooking modes for air frying, dehydrating, roasting, baking and grilling.
