How we test air fryers
Every air fryer goes through the same weeknight routine: frozen fries, fresh wings and salmon, timed and taste-tested. We check how evenly it browns, how loud it is and how long cleanup takes. Then we tell you who should skip it.

- Browning evenness photographed batch by batch
- Noise measured at arm's length
- Cleanup timed, dishwasher claims checked
