(Image credit: Ninja) Cooking has never been quicker, and if you're anything like me, an air fryer has probably become one of the hardest-working appliances in your kitchen. Thanks to Amazon Australia's Prime Big Deal Days sale, now's a great time to upgrade your current model or finally see what all the fuss is about.I've tested my fair share of kitchen gadgets over the years, and few have made a bigger impact on weeknight cooking than a good air fryer. They heat up faster than a conventional oven, use less energy and make everything from chips to chicken wings far less hassle to prepare.The category has come a long way, too. Today's best air fryers offer larger capacities, smarter cooking modes and dual-basket designs that let you cook different foods at different temperatures simultaneously. That's a game-changer when you're trying to get dinner on the table without juggling multiple appliances.That's what makes this year's Prime Big Deal Days air fryer deals worth a look. Amazon AU has discounted models from some of the biggest names in the category, including Ninja and Philips, with standout offers seeing the Ninja DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L Air Fryer reduced to AU$170.05 from its AU$499.99 RRP — an all-time Amazon low. Meanwhile, the Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer has is down 57% to AU$170.05 versus its AU$399 RRP — just a tenner shy of its lowest-ever Amazon price back in July.Those savings are calculated against each model's full recommended retail price, and while it's fair to say that most air fryers rarely sell at full ticket price these days, these Amazon sale discounts are still among the most competitive prices I've seen on highly rated models from trusted brands.Of course, those are just some of the top air fryer deals I've spotted during Amazon's sale — you may find other options which are better suited to your needs below, or alternatively check out the current best-selling air fryers at Amazon to see what everyone else is buying.
