First, look at the brand.
I suggest you choose professional brands, such as Panasonic, Midea, Jiuyang and Philips. These brands are all specialized in producing electrical appliances. The heating efficiency, thermal attenuation and temperature control can be accurately controlled, and the product is safer to use.
For example, the air fryer I bought for the first time was brand-free. It is not only difficult to control the temperature, but also very easy to burn food. It broke down in less than three months and wasted money. I really regret being cheap, so I suggest you choose a brand.
Second, look at the capacity.
Like other electrical appliances, the size of the air fryer is also different. Personally, I suggest that you choose to buy according to the required quantity, such as 1 2-3l for 3 people, 3-5l for 5 people, and 5-6L for more than 5 people. I suggest you buy an oven.
If you live alone, you can buy an air fryer of about 2l. Buying too much will not only take up space, but also be troublesome to clean. The bigger the air fryer, the better. For convenience, I suggest you buy by weight.
Third, look at the touch mode.
At present, the air fryer on the market is mainly divided into two touch modes, namely knob type and touch type. These two methods actually have their own advantages and disadvantages. The knob type is cheaper, but there will be some differences in temperature control. Touch is more expensive, but the temperature control is very accurate.
Personally, I suggest you choose the touch mode, which can not only control the temperature more accurately, but also grasp the time better than the knob mode. Most importantly, the online air fryer tutorial is often easy to overturn, because the knob mode can't accurately control the temperature and time, but the touch mode can't.
Fourth, look at the difficulty of cleaning.
At this point, everyone must think that the easier it is to clean, the better. That's true. At present, air fryers on the market are mainly divided into single layer and double layer. Relatively speaking, the single layer is definitely better than the double layer. Don't choose the one with patterns on the baking tray. Try to buy a smooth baking tray, which is also better for cleaning.
In addition, don't choose the small handle of the wok. This kind of air fryer is very easy to get stuck in food, and it is super troublesome to clean. The first air fryer I started was like this. I had to buckle the stuck food every time I cleaned it, which was super troublesome ~
