The Milex one seems to be the most popular, and I believe the bigger the the better.

This one, and its big so the air can circulate properly compared to the smaller ones. Go big or dont bother

Get the digital ones, not the dial turning ones. Seems the digital you can turn off early and the entry philips you cant.

Also look up the things to avoid or where you make the mistakes. or your outside would be crispy but the inside frozen solid.

You could just unplug the dial ones.

That's not a real Airfryer. Only the Philips is and preferably the XL or XXL. As noted earlier the knockoffs don't have the starfish design.

^^
Edit: Also with the Philips you don't have to go bigger because with the rapid air starfish design you can stack food in it. So the XL can cook for 4-5 people easily.

Its a griller with a fan to blow the hot air at the food.... its more even and efficient then a griller.

Its called a convection or Multifunction oven.

If you have a fancy BOSCH, AEG or MIELE ovens, most are multifunction ovens.

Basically

You get an oven with elements (this is a standard oven)
Then you get a fan assist oven (this has elements but also had a fan which circulates the air)
Then you get a convection oven (this has elements around the fan, which then circulates the heat better.) compared to the fan which uses bottom and top elements.

Convection can be trickier to bake cakes, but much easier for cupcakes. Its generally 20 degrees hotter than a normal oven when you bake due to the better circulation so you have to adjust for that. It can also dry your food more, so watch out for that.

But its far more energy efficient and bakes faster.

Its not a starfish design that makes a difference, it depends how the fans and elements work.

Air Fryer is just a fancier name for a convection oven.

You've been getting convection microwaves also for ages. You just have to hand over more cash than a normal microwave.

An oven is big, an air fryer is smaller version of the same thing.

If you have use a convection before, you will notice you dont need really any oil for that either.

Sure it is. The starfish design gives it 6 times faster airflow.

No it's not. My airfryer I don't have to preheat whereas my oven takes 10 minutes to heat up and if I open it, it'll take another 5 minutes + to get up to temp. It uses less electricity because there's no unused air and much easier to clean. My oven rack and pan took ages to clean.
