About Air Fryer Chips

Updated on

Air Fryer Chips is an independent buying-guide site about basket air fryers, so you can compare models and pick one with confidence.

We write for home cooks who want a plain answer, whether you are buying your first air fryer or replacing an old one.

You don't need to know the jargon. We explain words like quart, preset and crisper plate as we go.

What we cover

Our guides cover small and budget air fryers, models with a viewing window and easy-to-use controls, and brands such as Gourmia, Philips, Instant Pot, Ninja, Cosori and Chefman. We put models side by side so the trade-offs are easy to see.

We also answer the everyday questions: how to clean one, whether to preheat, how much power it uses and how an air fryer compares with a halogen oven, a microwave or a regular oven.

What we do

We read the product details, specs and maker information for every air fryer we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.

Then we turn it into plain guides, comparisons and clear picks. You can read more on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't make or sell air fryers, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

Air Fryer Chips is not affiliated with Gourmia, Philips, Instant Pot, Ninja or any other maker.

We don't claim to have tested every air fryer ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

We don't give repair or wiring advice. An air fryer gets very hot, so follow the maker's manual for setup, clearance and care.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
