Capacity The average capacity of an air fryer is 3.7 liters, although a quality study by PROFECO analyzed different air fryers, whose capacities range from 1 liter – ideal for 1 or 2 servings – to nearly 5 liters – perfect for large families. Therefore, regarding capacity, you should choose the model that suits your needs. If you choose a smaller capacity model but want to fry larger amounts of food, just consider the extra time it will take to prepare the portions separately. Of course, the larger the capacity of your air fryer, the bigger its dimensions will be, and it will take up more space in your kitchen, not to mention that they tend to be heavy. So if you have limited space, this is also a point you should consider before choosing from the available options. 2. Price According to a quality study by PROFECO, in Mexico, the price of an air fryer ranges from nearly $1000 to over $2800 pesos. Of course, prices vary depending on the brand, capacity, and features of the product, as there are models that include special features or combine several appliances into one. In this case, the best thing is to evaluate the quality-to-price ratio while always considering your budget. 3. Specific features You should also consider the special features of the model you are interested in. As noted by TechRadar, there are air fryer models with windows to view the cooking process, with preset settings, or special alarms. Similarly, there are models that come with interchangeable accessories that allow you to prepare even more dishes and make better use of this type of appliance. 4. Design By this, we do not necessarily mean how beautiful or modern an air fryer is – although it doesn't hurt to choose one that matches the rest of your appliances – but rather a feature more related to practicality: whether it is digital or manual. As noted by Consumer Reports, digital models allow you to control the temperature with buttons or a touchscreen and usually have preset settings, although they tend to be more expensive. Manual models, which are less costly, work with knobs that allow you to select the desired time and temperature; as the cooking process progresses, the knob acts as a timer and sounds at the end to notify that the food is ready. Now that you know all the reasons why buying an air fryer is an excellent idea and how to choose the best one for you, go ahead and make the most of it! You can also read: How to make the most of your air fryer
