Frequently asked questions

For one or two people, 2.1 to 4.2 quarts (2 to 4 liters) is enough. For three or four, aim for 4.8 to 6.3 quarts (4.5 to 6 liters). For five or more, go for 6.3 to 8.5 quarts (6 to 8 liters) or larger, or a dual-zone model that cooks a main dish and a side at the same time.

A dual-basket air fryer cooks two foods at different settings and finishes them at the same time, but it is wider or taller. A single basket takes up less counter space and works well when you cook one dish at a time.

It's worth it if you follow guided recipes or want to check on your food from your phone. For everyday cooking, a model without an app cooks just as well.
