Best air fryers under $80

Top pick: Beautiful 3 Qt Air Fryer with TurboCrisp — the strongest all-rounder here: a 3-quart basket that suits one or two people, simple dials, and the best owner ratings of the bunch by a clear margin. Easy to live with and easy to clean.

Who the others suit:

• Gourmia 8-Quart — households of four or more, or anyone who wants to cook a whole batch at once.
• Gourmia All-in-One 14-Quart — if you'd rather have one machine that also roasts, rotisseries and dehydrates.
• Chefman Dual Basket 6-Quart — cooking two different things at once, like fries and chicken.
• Bella 4qt Slim — tight counter space with a bigger appetite.
• Dash Tasti-Crisp / Chefman 2 Qt — small kitchens and single portions.
• Ninja AF101C — a familiar name if you want a compact 4-quart-style basket.

Skip the no-name listings: little or no rating history to judge them by.
