Find The Best Air Fryer For Your Kitchen: The Complete Buying Guide
What Is An Air Fryer?
Air fryers are the latest in cooking technology and it's easy to see why they're becoming one of Australia's best-loved kitchen appliances. With an air fryer you can create favourite dishes that are traditionally deep fried without compromising on taste - just imagine savouring the flavour and crispy texture of fried food without the fuss and mess of deep-frying in oil.
For years, conventional ovens have been trying to compete with the delicious taste of deep-fried delicacies to no avail, until now. An air fryer works by using hot air to cook your food, rapidly circulating the air to ensure even and thorough cooking. Unlike a conventional oven, an air fryer won't dry out your food or create uneven temperatures, making it ideal for roasting and baking.
With so many air fryers to choose from, how do you find the best one for you and your family? At Harris Scarfe, we've tried and tested our brands to ensure quality and durability. Our comprehensive air fryers buying guide will help you understand the features and benefits of this handy appliance so you can find the best air fryer for your kitchen.

Air Fryer Features, Benefits & Functions
Despite their name, air fryers are not just for frying - you can bake, roast and heat a huge range of dishes with ease in an air fryer. Air fryers feature a range of temperature settings, functions and accessories to take your cooking to the next level. At Harris Scarfe you can find air fryers that can also replace your conventional oven when baking desserts, pizzas, schnitzel, meatballs and more. Discover easy to use functions across the range of air fryers including pre-set cooking programs, timer settings, digital touch displays, defrost modes and much more!
There are a couple of different styles of air fryers available on the market - namely standard air fryers (also called basket air fryers), and air fryer ovens. Air fryer ovens can perform all the tasks of an air fryer, with the added benefit of trays instead of a single basket. Despite their looks, they have similar air frying functionality and will cook your food in the same way. Conventional oven users will benefit greatly from air fryer ovens, as they combine the best of both kitchen appliances. Their larger size allows you to cook multiple dishes at once while the air frying elements give meals a crispy and juicy flavour.

Choosing The Best Air Fryer
Once you've decided between a standard air fryer or an air fryer oven, you'll need to weigh up the various functions each air fryer comes with. If you have young kids, then a defrost function is a must - think quick and easy snacks and dinners at the touch of a button! If you're going to be using the air fryer regularly, removable and dishwasher safe racks or baskets are also a must-have for simple and fuss-free clean up. Before you choose between the finer details, there's one more big consideration - and that's its size or capacity.
What Size Air Fryer Do I Need?
Small, medium or large - what's the best size air fryer for you or your family? And what do the volume measurements really mean in terms of how many people it will feed? Here's a quick breakdown between your different air fryer size options:
- Small air fryers are nice and compact, taking up less space on your benchtop. They're perfect for families of up to four people who want to cook meals and side dishes quickly and easily.
- Large air fryers and air fryer ovens are ideal for bigger families - they allow you to cook a full roast dinner with ease. When it comes to air fryers with a more generous capacity, 7.5L air fryers and 10L air fryer ovens are popular choices. With an XL basket or multiple trays, these are the best type of air fryer to buy if you're cooking for a crowd or like to cook multiple elements at once.
