Single-drawer air fryers save you space on the kitchen counter, particularly if you have a small flat or live in a houseshare, while cooking meals in a fraction of the time.
The air fryer world is constantly innovating, be it an AI-powered design, vertical tower model or 11-function appliance – but sometimes the most fuss-free machines are the best. If you’re working with a smaller space, or there are just one or two people in the household, Judge’s 4l air fryer is the one.
