Airfryers: Bigger, Better, and More Feature-Packed Than Ever

Posted on November 25, 2025

Airfryers have come a long way since their debut. When the first modern airfryer hit the market around 2010, it was a novel idea: crispy, fried‑style food with far less oil, using hot air circulation instead. That first widely marketed model came from Philips after teaming with inventor Fred van der Weij, marking the start of a whole new appliance category. Modern airfryers are true kitchen powerhouses. They’re bigger, smarter, and packed with features that make cooking everything from juicy roasts to baked desserts a breeze.

Bigger Sizes for Bigger Families

One of the most noticeable changes in airfryers over the years is their capacity. The first models were compact, often only holding 2–3 liters, perfect for a single serving or a small household. Modern airfryers, however, are built for families and gatherings.

More Features Than Ever Before

Today’s airfryers do far more than fry. They bake, roast, grill, reheat, and even dehydrate, giving you a multifunctional appliance that can replace several gadgets in your kitchen.

Some of the features modern airfryers boast include:

  • Preset cooking modes for fries, chicken, fish, and even desserts.
  • Dual-zone cooking to cook multiple meals simultaneously at different temperatures.
  • Digital timers and temperature controls for precise results.
  • Easy-to-clean non-stick baskets or stainless steel interiors.
