In this video, I break down my Top 5 best air fryers in 2025 by focusing on what actually matters: features, real-world performance, and overall value. I tested and compared five models that have been making waves this year, and I ranked them from #5 to #1 so you can quickly figure out which one fits your kitchen and your budget. If you want the most up-to-date pricing, I also point you to the links in the description. I start with the Ninja AF101, a simple, versatile pick that can air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate, with a wide 105°F–400°F temp range and easy dishwasher-safe cleanup. Then I move into the CHEFMAN multifunction unit that adds rotisserie and convection-oven vibes, plus 17 touchscreen presets and no-preheat convenience. For hotter, meat-friendly cooking, I cover the COSORI 9-in-1 with up to 450°F and its recipe support. The Instant Vortex Plus 6QT XL stands out for EvenCrisp results and fast preheating, and my #1 is the Ninja DZ201 DualZone—two independent baskets with Smart Finish/Match Cook so you can cook mains and sides at the same time without back-to-back batches.
