Black Friday air fryer deals 2021: early deals on top fryers
Black Friday air fryer deals have well and truly arrived. We’ve found plenty of early Black Friday air fryer sales on top brands like Amazon, Ninja, Breville, Tefal and Cosori to get your sale season off to a strong start. Air fryers are immensely popular, with recent research showing that air fryer sales have increased by 400% in just the past year. We can see why, too, because the best air fryers we’ve tried have truly transformed the way we cook. Not only do they cut back on the amount of fat needed to achieve that perfectly crisp chicken fillet or homemade chips, but they also take a fraction of the time your oven takes to pre-heat.

We’re already seeing savings on Ninja and Philips air fryers, as well as a few more alternative fryers from Tower and Breville. These air fryers come with rotisserie attachments, which are perfect for cooking homemade kebabs or roast chickens.
Many of the top brands on the market regularly offer discounts on their air fryers, but as it’s the shopping event of the year, Black Friday air fryer deals are usually the ones to hold out for. Last year we saw discounts of up to 50% on brands such as Philips and Ninja, and we also saw a lot of Amazon lightning deals on air fryer brands such as Cosori and Instant.

Breville Halo Rotisserie Air Fryer: was £160, now £130 at Amazon
We tried the Breville Halo and loved the rotisserie function for making delicious roast chicken. It’s very smart, with an inner light to watch your food while it cooks, and seven cooking modes.
COSORI Air Fryer: was £79.99, now £67.99 at Amazon
Cosori reliably makes some of the top air fryers for great setting and speedy, even cooking. This budget-friendly model is an excellent introductory fryer thanks to its more compact dimensions yet generous 3.5 litre capacity.

Philips makes some of the most reliable air fryers on the market, and this extra large option is perfect for families. It has a 1.2kg capacity and modes to fry, grill, roast and even bake.

Tefal’s ActiFry air fryer is one of the smartest on the market. It has an unique stirring paddle to keep chips moving while they cook for an even hands-free result, and an upper layer for multi-cooking different elements of your meal.
Black Friday Ninja air fryer deals
Ninja makes some of the best air fryers on the market, and we’re particularly big fans of the Dual Zone, which has two independent drawers to cook meat and veg, or starter and main, simultaneously. Ninja also can be found on regular promotions, so we’re expecting some amazing Black Friday Ninja air fryer deals.
Our handy price widgets will pull in the lowest price air fryers from Ninja, so all you need to do is pick the model that’s right for you.

Tefal’s alternative take on air frying features an unique and innovative paddle that stirs food as it cooks. Use it for stir-fry, curries, or keeping chips crispy. In our Tefal YV970840 Actifry Genius XL 2in1 review we were particularly impressed by the chips it made, and how easy it was to use both layers for different kinds of cooking.
Black Friday Tower air fryer deals
The Tower Vortex 5-in-1 Digital Air Fryer is one of our favourites for making roast dinners, because it comes with a rotisserie insert to cook chicken to perfection. It has removable drawers that are easy to clean, and allow you to cook multiple elements of a meal in one go. We found it functioned best as a mini oven, with the ability to air fry, convection cook, and roast.
How much can I save with an air fryer deal?
While not every air fryer will have a great saving come the big event, last year we saw savings of around 50% on some of our favourite models. Ninja offered at least £20 off most of its air fryers, and for more premium picks such as the Foodi Multi Cooker, we saw savings of £50 for air frying, slow cooking, roasting, and a lot more.
Some of the best Black Friday air fryer deals can typically be found on air fryers that have been in the market for a year or two, so while we’re not sure if Cosori’s latest Premium air fryer will be hitting everyone’s baskets, it’s likely that we’ll see extra low prices on the classic Cosori CP358-AF, which is still a great option.
When will Black Friday air fryer deals start?
Last year we saw a lot of retailers dropping their prices well in advance of Black Friday itself. This year, Black Friday will take place on the 26th of November, but if last year is anything to go by, we’re expecting retailers like Amazon to lead the way with a few lightning deals a good week in advance. Is it worth waiting to make your purchase? Last year one of the best Black Friday air fryer deals, a £70 saving on the Ninja Foodi Max, was sold out before Black Friday had even started, so if you see a deal that looks unbeatable, it’s worth snapping it up fast!
We’re keeping this page updated ith all the deals as and when they drop, so if in doubt, check in here to find out whether we think a deal is worth the investment.

What air fryer should I buy?

If you’re new to air frying and want something budget-friendly to get you started, we recommend the Instant Vortex Mini air fryer. While it’s small it’s also affordable, and it comes in a range of fun colours. This air fryer really shows what the hype is all about, but if you go for a cheaper brand that comes in at around £20, you may not get to experience all the added cooking functions and sensitive temperature controls that make us love air frying in the first place.
Premium air fryers can cost as much as £300, so Black Friday is a great excuse to upgrade to something that’s capable of keeping up with busy family life if you see a breakout deal. After all, many air fryer owners are such big fans that one air fryer is not enough! One solution to this is the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, which is Ninja’s two-drawer air fryer that retails for an RRP of £199.99. While we don’t know if it will go on sale this Black Friday, it dropped to a record low price on this year’s Prime Day, so we’d be surprised if it didn’t go on a further sellout promotion.
What types of air fryer are there?
There are two main types of air fryer, a basket air fryer, or an oven air fryer. In America, people also use toaster ovens, but those are less common in the UK market.
Basket air fryers

Most of the top air fryers we’ve tried were basket air fryers. This means there is a central heating element with a basket that can simply be inserted into place. You can use the handle on the basket to pull out your chips or veggies and give them a shake midway through your cooking cycle, which is very helpful for keeping your hands safe when cooking.
Basket air fryers sometimes come with a removable insert that separates food from any liquid or fat that drips away during cooking. This insert can usually be lifted out to allow you to cook in the flat base of the air fryer, particularly in Ninja and Instant air fryers, but other models like Swan and Cosori will depend on the model. The removable insert has its pros and cons, because while it can make your air fryer more multi-functional, it will also make it harder to pour out your food without also pouring out the liquid that’s gathered at the bottom of the fryer.
Oven air fryers
We’ve reviewed a few oven air fryers from Tower and Breville, and they are more of a cross between a regular oven and a drawer air fryer. The drawer air fryer will only have one cooking compartment, but an oven air fryer can distribute numerous shelves through the inside of the cooker. This is useful for cooking different elements of a meal in one go, and can also make cleaning easier. Convection ovens circulate hot air in the same way an air fryer does, so in many ways, an oven air fryer is more of a mini convection oven.
