Best Air Fryers in Ireland 2025 — Budget, Mid-Range & High-End Picks Air fryers have quietly transformed kitchens across Ireland. They offer a hassle-free way to cook crispy fries, roast veggies or chicken — faster than a conventional oven and often using far less oil. Below is a curated list of air fryers I recommend for 2025, organised by price tier: budget, mid-range, and high-end. Each write-up is styled like a standalone review — easy to drop into your WordPress blog as individual sections.
Budget Picks (≈ €50 and under)
Tower T17021 Family Size 4.3L Air Fryer The Tower T17021 is a no-frills, wallet-friendly option that punches above its price. With 4.3 L capacity and 1500 W power, it’s surprisingly roomy for a budget model — capable of cooking enough for 1–2 people or even a small family. The lack of digital controls makes it simple and straightforward: set time and temp manually, and you’re ready to go. For those cooking on a budget or trying an air fryer for the first time, this model delivers crispy results on chips, chicken or veggies without breaking the bank.
Daewoo Compact Manual Air Fryer For anyone with limited space — say a small apartment or student kitchen — the Daewoo Compact Air Fryer is a practical entry-level choice. Its petite size makes it easy to store when not in use, and it’s simple to operate thanks to old-school dial controls. The small basket means longer cooking times and smaller portions, but for solo cooking or quick meals, this is more than adequate. It’s perfect if you’re dipping your toe into air frying without committing to a bulky, expensive machine.
Tower Vortx T17024 Digital Air Fryer If you want basic digital functionality without spending much, the Tower Vortx T17024 is a good compromise. Retaining roughly the same 4.3 L capacity as the T17021, this version adds a digital interface — making temperature adjustments and timing slightly easier and more precise. For households that value convenience but still want to stay within a tight budget, this model offers the best of both worlds: capacity, simplicity, and ease of use.
Tower T17147 Digital 4.5L Air Fryer Moving a small step up in versatility, the Tower T17147 offers 4.5 L capacity plus multiple cooking presets — a rarity in the under-€50 bracket. For those who want “set and forget” cooking, the presets take some of the guesswork out of the process. While still budget-oriented, this fryer is better suited to households with slightly more regular cooking: think small families or couples who want affordable, everyday frying without fuss.
Midea Compact Air Fryer For minimalistic cooking and easy cleanup, the Midea Compact Air Fryer is a solid pick. With its compact design and dishwasher-safe basket, it’s great for quick meals and smaller portions. Though its capacity is lower than larger models, its simplicity and ease of maintenance make it ideal for beginners or those who don’t cook frequently. If you just want an appliance for occasional fries, snacks or reheating food with minimal effort, this one fits the bill nicely.
Mid-Range Picks (€50 – €150)
COSORI 4.7L Smart Air Fryer The COSORI 4.7L brings a noticeable jump in cooking performance while still staying under €150 — making it perhaps the most balanced choice for most households. Its larger cooking volume and multiple cooking functions (air fry, bake, roast, reheat etc.) enable you to cook full meals rather than just snacks. Users typically find the results crispier and more consistent than budget models. If you’re cooking for 2–4 people and want reliability with a fair price, this model is a top pick.
Russell Hobbs SatisFry 5L Air Fryer For slightly larger families or anyone who cooks regularly, the Russell Hobbs SatisFry 5 L offers generous capacity and even cooking. With 5 L space and program presets, it’s built to handle bigger batches — ideal for dinners or batch-cooking portions. While it might be a little louder than compact fryers, the trade-off is its versatility and consistent performance. It’s a dependable mid-range air fryer when you want more value for regular use.
Russell Hobbs Touchscreen Air Fryer If ease-of-use and modern styling matter to you, Russell Hobbs’ touchscreen version brings a premium feel into a mid-range device. Its intuitive interface and quick control responsiveness make cooking less of a chore. While the basket might be smaller than the 5 L model above, for couples or small families, this fryer delivers a good balance of convenience and performance. It’s a solid mid-tier choice for those who value form and functionality equally.
Cooks Professional Stainless Steel Air Fryer For those who want durability and a slightly different aesthetic, the Cooks Professional stainless-steel air fryer stands out. Its larger 6 L capacity (if you opt for that variation) makes it suitable for larger meals, and the stainless body offers a more premium kitchen feel. Cooking results are generally solid, though the fryer is bulkier than more compact units. It’s ideal if you want a mid-range fryer that feels robust and can serve multiple people comfortably.
COSORI TurboBlaze Air Fryer The TurboBlaze variant ups the ante with a more powerful motor and slightly enhanced cooking speed. If you cook regularly and want quicker cooking times with evenly fried results, this is one of the stronger mid-range contenders. It handles a range of meals — from fries to chicken, vegetables to reheats — with good consistency. For those who want a mid-tier air fryer that performs nearly like a high-end one, this model is a nice strike of value over price.
High-End Picks (€150+)
Ninja AF400EU Dual Zone 9.5L Air Fryer If you want one air fryer to effectively replace traditional cooking tools, the Ninja AF400EU is about as premium as it gets. With two 4.75 L baskets and 9.5 L total capacity, you can cook two different dishes at once — say fries in one basket, chicken in another — at different times or temperatures. The flexibility is hugely useful for families or anyone who likes meal-prep. Consistently praised for results: golden, crispy fries, evenly roasted veggies and minimal fuss. It’s big, a little pricey, but for what you get — massive cooking power and flexibility — it’s arguably worth the investment.
Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer For those who prefer a premium brand, the Philips Dual-Basket air fryer delivers high build quality and reliable cooking. Its dual-basket design is excellent for cooking two dishes in one go, and the Rapid Air technology ensures even heat and crisping. It’s slightly more compact than dual-zone monsters, so easier to fit in smaller kitchens, but still powerful enough for larger meals. If brand reliability and consistent results matter to you, this is a top-tier contender.
Ninja AF400UKCP Exclusive Edition This is essentially the dual-zone Ninja in a premium finish — same performance, but perhaps a bit more appealing if kitchen aesthetics are a concern. You get dual-basket flexibility, consistent cooking, and robust build quality. If you like the features of the AF400EU but want a sleeker-looking fryer (or one that fits a more modern kitchen vibe), this version is a good option. It’s a high-end device built for people who take air frying seriously.
Philips XL 6.2L Digital Air Fryer If you’re after a high-quality single-basket fryer rather than dual-zone, this Philips XL 6.2 L model offers generous capacity and dependable cooking performance. Its digital controls and Rapid Air tech make it easy to get consistent, crispy results. Great for larger families or anyone cooking bigger portions. It lacks the dual-basket flexibility of premium models, but for one-dish meals and everyday cooking, it’s a solid high-end choice.
Ninja SL400EU Speedi Rapid Cooker & Air Fryer For kitchens that prefer versatility and multi-functionality, the Ninja SL400EU stands out. More than just an air fryer, it doubles as a cooker and offers multiple cooking modes. Its large capacity and range of functions make it ideal for those who want one appliance to handle many cooking tasks. It’s bulky and requires more counter space, but for busy households and meal-preppers, it’s a very compelling high-end option.
