What Size Air Fryer Do I Need?
Match capacity to household size and cooking style so you never run out of room mid-meal.
The most common regret in air fryer reviews is not buying big enough. Here is a rough guide, based on servings of chips or a mid-sized protein per basket:
- **Single or couple:** 3–4L single basket.
- **Family of three or four:** 5–7L single basket, or 7–8L dual.
- **Family of five or more, or regular entertaining:** 8L+ dual basket, or a bench-top air fryer oven.
Bench space matters too. Measure width AND clearance above the unit — most air fryers vent hot air out the top and need at least 15cm above them for airflow.
