This week's Black Friday deals are putting some serious markdowns on some of the best appliances we've tested. Now is one of the best times of the year to upgrade your kitchen—and an air fryer is one of the best investments you can make to do so. These versatile all-in-one appliances have multiple cooking functions (like bake, roast, and dehydrate) to save counter space. Plus they can crisp up leftovers like no other oven can and are a quick cleanup thanks to their basket design.

I've purchased more than a handful of air fryers as gifts and tested different models over the past five years. A good air fryer should have streamlined controls, even cook results, and easy-to-clean non-stick baskets for effortless cooking. Each air fryer below not only checks all of those boxes, but does so for less than $100 to boot.

You can use this Ninja air fryer's two independent 3 Quart baskets to cook different portions of a meal at different temperatures simultaneously. For example, you can cook a steak at 400 degrees in the left basket and a side in the right basket at a much lower temperature. The Match Cook feature will ensure both finish cooking at the same time so that you don't have to wait around like you do with a single-basket air fryer.

This easy-to-use 4-quart air fryer basket squeezes 6-in-1 functionality into a compact, premium stainless steel design.

I can vouch for the Vortex's crispness as I own an older version of this model and have used it to make some deliciously textured salmon, seared steak, and crunchy wings.
