Best Black Friday air fryer deals 2019: What’s live now

Best Black Friday air fryer deals live right now:

Last year, the Instant Pot was one of the most popular purchases in over half of the states.

This year, you probably have another trendy kitchen gadget on your list. While pressure cookers are good for speeding up home-cooked meals and mastering difficult recipes like chunky soup or rice, air fryers are a must in all households big on hosting and snacking without feeling like shit about. You’ll want that over the holidays.

Nearly every store you hit up will have a few air fryers on sale, but you can narrow down where to buy yours by comparing your requirements. Does being from a ~big brand~ like Instant Pot or Ninja matter? Do you need one that will fit in a college student’s tiny kitchen? Are you just trying to snag the absolute cheapest one?

How to find the best air fryer deals

Some retailers get carried away with competitive prices and inflate the original price of kitchen items to make the discount look bigger. If you see that an air fryer is listed for hundreds of dollars and is on sale for less than $100, your deal-sniffing nose should let you know that’s a little fishy. Always check the original MSRP from the brand’s official website if you can.

Even if the list price is inflated, it can still be a good deal. For example, Amazon has the Philips Starfish Technology 2.75-quart air fryer listed at $249, but the actual MSRP is $129. A discounted price of $93.53 is still a decent deal — even if it’s not as good as it’s being presented.

Walmart

On a budget this year? Walmart has your best choice of air fryers under $50, giving you the chance to gift one to two people without going over $100. Most of these have free two-day delivery and some are eligible for next-day delivery if you order by 4 pm.

Amazon

Amazon is competing with itself by offering big-name air fryers from Ninja, Philips, and Cuisinart at prices lower than their previous lowest prices ever (or within $10 of it). Some even have extra coupons that’ll save you up to an extra $53.

Best Buy

Best Buy is making it possible for you to grab your air fryer at the same place you buy your new laptop or washing machine. Our favorite deals are on Oster’s air fryer toaster oven and Chefman’s air fryer toaster oven, both of which are perfect for families who don’t have counter space for two appliances.

Kohl’s

If you can ignore the fact that most air fryers “on sale” only look like they’re on sale because Kohl’s has inflated the original price, there are some genuinely good deals snuck in there. Use code GIVETHANKS to save an extra 15% at checkout, and ask your parents if you can borrow some Kohl’s cash to add on.
