An air fryer doesn't have to be an eyesore — take this one, with its sleek stainless steel design. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Having an air fryer makes it (almost as) easy to enjoy your favorite foods in a more economical — not to mention healthier — way. There's no waiting half an hour for the oven to preheat and then subjecting yourself to a swampy kitchen during the summer. Plus, you can cook with little to no oil and have dinner on the table lickety split. With so many models on the market, it can be overwhelming to narrow it down. That's why we went in search of the best air fryers, and the Cuisinart 6-Quart Air Fryer — currently on sale at Amazon — was the one that wowed us the most.
It might resemble an electric toothbrush, but you'll want to use this little gizmo for busting away messes in the tiny corners and crevices of your home. We're taking bathroom tile grout, fridge gaskets, around faucets — anything you don't feel like cleaning by hand, since it scrubs a whopping 60 times per second!
Kick those spring allergies to the curb, thanks to this popular HEPA air purifier that's ... wait for it ... 90% off. Not only can it remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles as large as 0.3 microns, it does so quietly (as in, quieter than a whisper). It's suitable for spaces of up to 1,076 square feet.
Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this No. 1 bestseller is cordless for even more convenience, and the on-page coupon brings it down to within a few dollars of its best price yet.
One Yahoo editor gave it a try, saying, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."

We don't "wing" it here at Yahoo: We put 15 models to the test and awarded this one "best air fryer overall." According to Granero, who conducted the tests, this Cuisinart "boasts substantial cooking room, minimal required maintenance and an easy-to-master learning curve, all while looking non-clunky."
Its LED display has five cooking functions: air fry, roast, bake, broil and warm, as well as five preset options for popular foods like fries, wings, frozen snacks and vegetables. Other cool components include its interior light and see-through doors, which allow you to keep an eye on your food while it cooks, and a "toss reminder" that'll alert you when it's time to flip your food in the basket.

At $102 when you apply the on-page coupon (down from $150), this is as low as we've ever seen this air fryer marked down to, making it a worthwhile sale. Plus, the fact that it came out on top after we tested it alongside brands like Ninja, Breville, Philips — many of which cost more — speaks volumes about its functionality.
According to Yahoo Life writer Kristin Granero, who conducted the air fryer tests, the Cuisinart "boasts substantial cooking room, minimal required maintenance and an easy-to-master learning curve, all while looking non-clunky." She noted that the appliance arrived preassembled (no tools needed, hooray!) and that it came with easy-to-follow instructions and a recipe guide. So far, so good.
Another standout feature was its LED display, which has five cooking functions to choose from — air fry, roast, bake, broil and warm — as well as five preset options for popular foods like fries, wings, frozen snacks and vegetables. Who doesn't love a kitchen gadget that takes the guesswork out of cooking?
As for results, Kristin said, "We assessed the air fry function by making french fries, breaded chicken tenders, chicken wings and crab rangoons ... everything came out right on time in juicy-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside fashion. ... While air-frying was the main focus of our test, we also tried our hands at several other functions: Our roasted chicken breasts, baked salmon and broiled steaks cooked to perfection."
Other cool components include its interior light and see-through doors, which allow you to keep an eye on your food while it cooks, as well as a "toss reminder" that'll alert you when it's time to flip your food in the basket. Oh, and speaking of the basket, this one is conveniently dishwasher-safe.
Yahoo Life editors aren't the only ones who approve of this air fryer — Amazon customers are eating it up too.
"Just the right size and so quiet," raved one happy home cook. "Saves me money by not having to use my oven. It won't heat up my kitchen during the hot summer months and looks really expensive, but isn't. I recommend it."
"I was hesitant to join the air fryer club," admitted a convert. "Boy am I happy I did! ... I can get a healthy, delicious dinner on the table in minutes ... Fried chicken without the mess? Yes, please! ... And I love the window to watch the food without having to open the drawer."
"It is so much better than the one we had that died," said a third shopper. "The food has a better taste and is a lot more crisp. We absolutely love the broiler feature and have broiled hamburgers, beef steaks, pork steaks and salmon. They tasted like they had been grilled. The icing on the cake is that we can put the basket and crisper in the dishwasher!"
"[The] only downside is it doesn't fit in any of my cabinets," wrote a generally pleased reviewer. "Without a walk-in pantry, storage might be an issue. Our solution was to store [it] on a shelf in the garage right off the kitchen for access — [it's] lightweight, so easy to move in/out of the kitchen."
"I have used this for about two weeks and it works perfectly," shared a final fan. "The only thing is the 'flip-over' reminder doesn’t buzz very loud. But I am happy with the product."
