Description:
W're rounding up everything you can expect from Black Friday Air Fryer deals in 2021, from the models to watch to the best retailers to check out come November.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Black Friday air fryer deals are some of the most popular discounts available come November, so it pays to get your research in now so that you're prepared for the main event. Last year saw some record low prices on older models as well as some new releases taking their own discounts as well. Plus, with big name brands like Ninja, Cosori, and Instant Pot getting involved, things bode well for Black Friday 2021 .
We expect to see the same names lining the shelves in this year's Black
Friday air fryer deals, with brands like Bella and Aria offering up lower budget options, with Vortex bridging the gap between these affordable options and the more high end Ninja and Instant Pot machines. However, we were seeing Instant Pot devices sitting under $50 for the first time last year, so those more premium appliances could drop even further.
Of course, Black Friday ran a little differently last year. With the global pandemic pushing an online retail spike all the way from October (kicking off with a late Prime Day) right up until Christmas Eve, retailers were offering discounts far earlier than usual. Adobe reports that the online holiday
season delivered over $188.2 billion to retailers in 2020, a 32% growth over the previous year.
However, November in particular hit over $100 billion in online retail
revenue so while we may still see early discounts in Black Friday Air Fryer deals 2021, competition will still likely be incredibly high during that month.
If these trends continue, we could be in for an excellent selection of Air Fryer deals come November, so we're showing you everything you can expect
from this year's discounts, as well as the best places to shop right here. Black Friday air fryer deals: FAQ (Image credit: Ninja) When will the best Black Friday air fryer deals start in 2021?
While Black Friday air fryer deals typically kick off around the week of the event itself, last year's earlier discounts were offering savings as soon as October. Considering the success of the previous holiday period, we are expecting to see a similar timeline comes 2021's offerings. However, the best deals will likely still appear on the official Black Friday date; November
26.
Those shopping in the budget category, however, may not need to wait so long. We saw far more discounts hitting affordable brands like Bella, Aria and even Vortex in the weeks leading up to Black Friday last year than we did the more premium models. If you're only looking to spend $20 - $50, then, you may be able to escape some of the intense competition when the official Black Friday air fryer deals do land.
If you are waiting for the main event, it's worth noting that last year Adobe reports that retailers started dropping their prices from the beginning of Thanksgiving week, with average discounts dropping to just under 30% from the 15% average of previous weeks. While that data does apply to all products and not just air fryers, it's a good indication that the juiciest Black Friday
air fryer deals may be worth waiting for. Where to find the best Black Friday air fryer deals
Last year, Black Friday Air Fryer deals were dominated by Home Depot, Best
Buy and Walmart so it's worth keeping a close eye on these retailers in particular in the lead up to the event itself. However, there are plenty more retailers who could take us by surprise this year as well. You'll find all
the stores worth browsing throughout the event just below.
Amazon: regularly price matches cheaper stores with free shipping
Best Buy: wide range of budget brands like Bella and Aria
Home Depot: often the best value for money come November
Lowes: best for high capacity air fryers from premium brands
Target: low prices and same day pick up sometimes available
Walmart: mid-range models with great prices
What to expect from Black Friday air fryer deals in 2021
Last year we saw some record low prices cropping up in Black Friday air fryer deals, most notably on Instant Pot and Ninja devices. However, in the lower end of the price range, Best Buy was offering some excellent discounts on its exclusive Bella line and Aria and GoWise were also dropping into this budget category as well.
We can expect to see a similar trend heading into this year's offers, with smaller, cheaper machines (3-4Qt) available for under $40 and more premium models dropping by between 30-40%. Last year's best deals saw average discounts of 39%, and if trends continue, these savings may increase slightly in 2021.
Many of the big name brands will likely be participating in this year's Black Friday air fryer deals, with Ninja leading the way for more high budget
items. We've seen Cosori, Safe, Tower Vortex, Philips, and Instant Pot
getting in to the action in recent years, though the best discounts tend to sit on mid-range models that have spent some time on the shelves.
That means those who are willing to sacrifice picking up the newest release stand to save the most cash this year, by foregoing some of the fancier features 2021 might have in store. What to look for in Black Friday air fryer deals
Finding the best Black Friday air fryer deal for your budget requires a
little research, as the best discounts are the ones on models with the features you know you need. There's no point paying for a premium device if you won't use it, so make sure you know what you'll be cooking with to find the best prices for your wallet. That means checking out the different types of air fryers and what each one can offer before finding the products that best suit your needs.
There are two types of air fryer on the market right now; basket and oven.
The former is a smaller, cheaper device that will only serve air frying
needs, however the latter packs in far more cooking options for a larger
price tag. Choosing between the two will depend on how much food you will
need to prepare each day, whether you need additional functions like
roasting, grilling or baking, and how much counter space you have to play with. (Image credit: Chefman)
Basket air fryer
The basket air fryer is a more cylindrical shape and offers up both drawers and removable baskets in a variety of sizes. Like an air fryer oven, a basket air fryer is essentially a convection heater - working by heating the air at the top of the device and then circulating that air around your food.
Typically, however, basket air fryers only do the one job, whereas oven air fryers can pack more roasting or baking features into the same device. However, you'll be saving counter space here and saving a little heat up time as well.
If you're just after an air fryer without all the bells and whistles, basket models do come in significantly cheaper. However, if you need an all-in-one machine we'd recommend checking out the oven variety instead. (Image credit: Breville)
Oven air fryer
An oven air fryer does everything a basket design can do and more, though
can take a little longer to heat up and generally takes up more room on your countertop. These machines regularly offer additional cooking functions like grilling and roasting and can accommodate more than one tray within the oven space itself.
That means you'll be able to cook multiple components of a meal at the same time, while also keeping watch through the door of the machine. You do pay
for those extra features, though, with oven air fryers costing a little more than their basket counterparts.
If you're looking to experiment with your air fryer, or you've been shopping for multiple kitchen accessories that are all featured in one model, the oven air fryer is likely the best design for you. While you're paying more for
this version, the versatility and larger sizes make this better for larger meals and more complex air fryer recipes. Today's best air fryer deals
