Buying guide · Air Fryers
The Philips NA352/00 is the best air fryer we tested for families of four to six: its two drawers cooked 1 kg of fries in about 17 minutes and a full meal in one go. For two or three people, the Philips HD9252/90 is the main alternative, a 4.1 L single basket that crisped 500 g of fries in about 18 minutes with one shake.

The Philips NA352/00 is a 9 L, 2300 W dual basket air fryer that cooks a full meal for four to six people in one go, at the cost of a large body and a dedicated 15 A socket.
Premium Pick
Air Fryers
The Philips HD9252/90 is a 4.1 L, 1400 W touch-panel air fryer that cooks frozen snacks and tikkas more evenly than most rivals under ₹10,000, with the widest service reach in the segment.
Air Fryers
The Agaro Imperial 34029 is a 2 x 4.5 L, 2400 W dual basket air fryer that lets a family of four to six cook two items together for less than the big-name dual-basket models.
Air Fryers
The Havells Prolife Digi is a 4 L, 1230 W digital air fryer that cooks evenly enough for a family of three and benefits from Havells' large service network, though it is slower than the Philips.
Air Fryers
The Agaro Regency 33684 is a 12 L, 1800 W oven-style air fryer with rotisserie that suits bigger batches, but it heats slowly, takes a lot of counter and is awkward to clean.
Air Fryers
The KENT Digital 4 L air fryer is a 1400 W digital unit that crisps snacks acceptably for two to three people, although its listed MRP is far above its real selling price.
Air Fryers
The Inalsa Fry-Light is a 4.2 L, 1400 W timer-and-temperature air fryer that does the basics of crisping fries and tikka for two or three people at a low street price, with some shaking.
Best Budget
Air Fryers
The Pigeon Healthifry Digital is a 4.2 L, 1200 W air fryer that is cheap to buy but slow and uneven, so it only suits light reheating and occasional snacks for one or two people.
