To buy: Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer, $99 (originally $130) at amazon.com

If you're just cooking for one or if you don't have a ton of counterspace, opt for a smaller model, like the Ninja 4-Quart air fryer that's under $100 right now. With over 33,400 five-star ratings, it is a great place to start. Shoppers say it's the perfect size for one or two people and that it doesn't take up too much space. The same can be said for the Ultrean 4.2-Quart air fryer, which is also top-rated, and it's 50% off right now.

If you want to feed more people, options like the Instant Vortex Plus 6-quart air fryer or the Nuwave Brio 8-quart air fryer are great, since they have multifunctional capability and a little extra room perfect for multiple portions.

You can air fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate in the Instant Vortex air fryer, which is 38% off. Plus it has a completely digital touch screen and a sleek design. The Nuwave air fryer is a bit larger with a capacity to hold 3 pounds of fries or even a 5-pound chicken, but also has a smooth matte black design. Shoppers call out that it's easy to clean and use too.

If you're looking for an option with some extra perks, there are air fryers that come with accessories and add-ons, like rotisserie spits, trays, and more. Plus, they're usually a bit bigger, which means you can fit more food in at once. Snap up the Chefman 10-Quart Digital air fryer with rotisserie — which is 36% off — for the ultimate multitasker, since it comes with a rotisserie spit, a drip tray, and three removable racks. You can also grab the smaller version if you don't need an extra-large capacity.
