After considering dozens of air fryers and completing comprehensive, hands-on testing to find the best air fryer out there, we found that the Ninja AF101 rose to the top of the pack. And right now you can score a version of our top pick, the Ninja AF100, for $59, thanks to this deal at Walmart.
Those of us with small kitchens know that nonessential appliances, tools or devices are not additions that should be made without real forethought. When air fryers rose in popularity a couple of years ago, some scoffed (“It’s just a convection oven!”), but for the most part, home cooks were delighted to create tasty, crispy dishes with ease, and air fryers earned a spot on many countertops.
Just $59 can score you a more affordable version of our favorite air fryer. This one is the same base model as the AF101, which wowed our editors after our hands-on testing, Now Walmart has the AF100 marked down by $30 ahead of Black Friday.
Its heavy-duty feel, combined with the reasonable price tag and impressive cooking ability, made it easy to declare this fryer the best overall. Not only that but it offers easy-to-use controls and simple disassembly for cleaning.
Today’s discounted air fryer is the same unit as our beloved Ninja AF101 air fryer, so while the model number is slightly different, this appliance still offers the same cooking technology that made it our number-one pick. The only differences, aside from the model number, is that this AF100 version forgoes a multi-layered cooking rack and comes in one of four colors. But with a $31 difference between Walmart’s model and the alternative you’ll find at Amazon for $90, we can’t recommend today’s discount enough.
