So you've been putting off finally buying an air fryer — and then kicking yourself every time your food is taking forever in the oven. Amazon's October Prime Day is as good a time as any to find an air fryer on sale, especially if you're a connoisseur of fried snacks during football games. That'll give you several extra weekends to squeeze in new halftime recipes compared to waiting until Black Friday.

Instant Pot, Nuwave, and Ninja deals are all in the mix, with options from mini two-quart basket designs to XL convection oven combos for the countertop. We're tracking the best air fryer deals at Amazon through the end of October Prime Day on Oct. 8 and will be updating the list as more pop up (or sell out).

Frequently Asked Questions


Pretty much anything you can cook in the oven, aside from potential size constraints. Air fryer baked potatoes, air fryer bacon, air fryer sweet potato fries, and air fryer fried eggs are a few current popular air fryer recipes, likely typed into Google thousands of times per day. Just think about whatever you typically have to crisp up in the oven — but faster. Air fryers are said to cook between 20 and 30 percent faster than a regular oven, and usually preheat in less than three minutes.
