As Black Friday approaches, many retailers are already beginning sale preparations for the weekend of bargains.
And one item that will be highly sought after this Black Friday is an air fryer, which has gained popularity this year for its efficient cooking style and cheap running cost. Manchester Evening News reports that Ninja has been one of the first to repeatedly sell out their air fryers, with searches for the item soaring by over 1,000 per cent in 2022.
Salman Haqqi, a personal finance expert at money.co.uk said: “Generally, air fryers have seen a massive rise in popularity over the last two years. Some of the top rated products aren’t cheap though, and with other bargains to be had, it’s easy to go overboard with spending this Black Friday.”

In this guide, the most searched air fryers are ranked in their capabilities compared to the top-rated air fryers on Amazon. It will help shoppers decide which air fryer to grab during the sales, even when the bigger names sell out.
Ninja’s Black Friday exclusive deals see the Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer priced at £229.99, with the health grill and air fryer, and multicooker both included in the sale. Ninja recommends signing up to receive emails from the Ninja team to stay up to date about Black Friday Sale.
Currys has cut the costs of a Tefal air fryer ahead of Black Friday - which has been compared to the Ninja models - making it just £149 instead of £249. It is likely to sell out ahead of this weekend, so jump on that deal quickly.
Another popular search is Tower air fryers, with the three-litre option going for just £30 instead of its original price of £90. Small but effective, and well worth the price point.
The Dreo and Ultrean air fryers are not as popular in the search bars, but they are rated five stars on Amazon. These ones have only been searched 170 times and 1,300 times respectively, so are less likely to sell out when the bargains come rolling in.
The Ultrean air fryer is coming in at £117 at it's cheapest on Amazon, with a four-litre capacity, and is much cheaper than other models in stores like Curry's, for the same size. The Dreo air fryer, also rated five stars, is £95.99 on Amazon - and both of them are yet to receive the Black Friday treatment online.
The Tefal Acitfry Genius has been reduced on Amazon, coming in at £147.99 - saving £100 off the original price. The Amazon price is the cheapest so far as it's £137 more expensive on the Tefal website.
Shoppers have raved about this fryer specifically, as one said: "It cooks beef better than any other way of cooking. I can't praise this enough. Easy to clean, window to watch the cooking and easy to programme. It was my best buy of last year."
Another posted saying how it's stopped them having to use their oven: "I've been using this for a couple of months now and only used my main oven once. It takes no time to warm up, cooks evenly and quickly, and cheap to run."
