FAQs

Where can I find the best air fryer deals on right now?

The best air fryer deals available right now are on Amazon. They've got some tempting early Prime Day deals on offer right now and the discounts are only going to get bigger. I've already seen 40% off the Instant Omni Air Fryer Oven as well as dicounts on Ninja, Cosori, and Instant.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon has just announced that Prime Day 2024 will fall on July 16 and 17, but you don't have to wait that long for the discounts. They've already launched some of the best air fryer deals of the year, so it's worth shopping some now if you're in a hurry.

Can I shop Amazon Prime Day without Prime?

You can shop on Amazon without having a Prime account, but you might not have access to every single deal. You'll probably also have to pay for shipping, so it makes a lot of sense to get an account. You can get an account for free by signing up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime.

What is a lightning deal?

Around Prime Day, you'll see a lot of chatter about 'lightening deals'. These are likely to be the very best air fryer deals of the whole sale, but they'll drop for a short period. We've seen stocks run out in minutes.

Knowing which air fryer deals to shop and when to buy them, can be tricky, but if you follow some simple tips, you'll be able to snag the best saving possible.

1. Know what to shop

The first thing you need to know before shopping the sales is what you're looking for. There are lots of different types of air fryers: compact, tower, dual drawer, French door, smart, and multi-cookers or grills that integrate air frying functions. Knwoing roughly which category you're shopping in will help you to streamline your search. You won't get overwhelmed shopping either. If you need a hand, we go deep into the details of what to look for in our air fryer buying guide.

2. Ask the experts

People like me spend our days testing, reviewing, and researching the best air fryers on the market, so we have a lot to say about them. When the Amazon Prime Day sales come around, we'll all be updating articles on the best air fryer deals. Given that it's our job, it's worth looking at what we have to say. I'd always cross-reference different sites, so you can see what everyone is talking about, but you'll see commonalities between what we are all talking about.

3. Check for yourself

It's always nice to have your own reassurance too. There are extensions (I use CamelCamelCamel) that will show you the price of the product on Amazon and where it has sat historically. Some air fryers are regularly on sale and others are rarely discounted. If you can see the lowest price that it's been and how long ago, you can make an informed decision about what you want for youself.

4. Stay focused

Don't get tempted by bigger discounts on models that don't tick all of your boxes. If you know you want a dual-drawer air fryer, don't compromise, because you'll only end up using your air fryer less in the longer-term.
