Product Information

Helen is a freelance contributor who trained as a Home Economist and another of Ideal Home's air fryer experts. This is the air fryer that our Ecommerce Editor Molly now uses every single day, saying that it is a miracle for midweek meals.

With the 26L LLIVEKIT Mini Oven, you can experience the goodness of crispy and delicious fried food without the excessive oil.Air-fryers are generally very versatile, but there are certain ingredients you should avoid air-frying for safety reasons, like popcorn and sauce-based dishes. If you’re wondering whether air-fryers are really worth it, we think the primary perk of owning one is convenience. Built with eight presets (steak, chicken wings, seafood, fish, pizza, chips, bake, vegetables), its sync function adds convenience and was effective when cooking different dishes at the same time – we tried this with salmon (10 mins at 180C) and chicken breast (20 mins at 180C). After a brief flick through of the manual we were able to get cooking pretty quickly thanks to the easy set up. We used a standard recipe for air-fried chips, bacon, broccoli and asparagus across all air fryers, recording the cooking timings and considering how evenly the foods come out, as well as how well cooked they are.

The LLIVEKIT 26L Oil-Free Air Fryer offers excellent value for money and is very easy to use, so you don’t need to be an expert in air fryers to be able to use it. With 360° hot air circulation and high power of 1700 watts, the air fryer oven can easily make the delicious food as you wish. It gets to the temperature you need quickly, has plentiful space inside and is absolutely brimming with functionality. Some of our fryers had up to nine pre-set programmes for popular foods like chips and, bizarrely, shrimps. The air fryer was fast, easy to use, and comes with four pre-sets that won't be too overwhelming for first-time air fryer users.Do you like to choose your own temperature and how long to cook things for, or would you prefer to leave all that to the machine?

While you can make delicious, low-fat roasties in an air fryer, it's worth noting they won't have that same sought-after crisp. These gadgets are much faster to heat up and designed to circulate hot air efficiently, meaning food can be cooked much quicker than in a traditional oven. This opens the door to thrifty bakes, classic cake recipes as well as free-from options to fit those with dietary requirements. Like the Ninja, this air fryer has five other functions, and all of them are perfect for everyday cooking.

Find everything from counter-top appliances, such as the best food processors and best toasters, through to larger white goods like the best microwaves and best dishwashers. The bake function is ideal for bread, the reheat function works for leftovers and you can even dehydrate fruit or veg inside with the ability to set the temperature low for a long period of time (up to 12 hours). Her main issue after testing was that the control panel is less intuitive than others on the market. If you want to adapt a recipe for air-frying, BBC Good Food’s food copy editor Samuel Goldsmith recommends reducing the cooking time by 20%. We'll be updating this list constantly to keep you up to speed with all of the air fryer newness you need to know about.
