About this deal
The control panel is touchscreen, which gives the model a sleek, minimalistic look when turned off and at 40cm across, its footprint on the countertop wasn’t as chunky as others we’ve tested. The cooking results, too, were excellent – both thick and thin-cut air-fried chips were a success, as was a deliciously crisp duck breast, which cooked at 180C for just 15 minutes. The best part of this recipe is that you can make multiple batches while your kitchen stays nice and cool. As well as air frying, this machine works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, sauté pan, steamer, sous vide and food warmer with extra settings for roasting, broiling, baking and dehydrating! After 55 minutes, this model’s glass front panel and exterior was warm but not dangerously hot, which is a tick in the safety box for adults and kids.
I like the convenient pre-set mode that makes it easy to blast the air fryer with heat for a few minutes before loading food. Fruit leather is an excellent way to make the most of a dehydrate function if you have a hand blender, blender or food processor at home, or for an umami-kick try dehydrating tomatoes or mushrooms.Arriving in plastic-free packaging, this machine reached 200C in a rapid three minutes and put in its best performance when cooking chicken, dropping just one mark.

Read our full guide on what not to cook in an air-fryer, plus recipe developer Ailsa Burt’s top air-frying tips.Although we struggled to find any real need for the app (setting the air-fryer to go takes very little time), it is useful to be able to check how much time is left from afar and for the bank of Cosori recipes it houses. Whether you're after a compact, slimline gadget that can rustle up meals for one or two people, or a large-capacity model to cater for the whole family, you can find a variety of air-fryers to suit your needs at Hughes. Though the Speedi does come with a recipe book, it’s limited and after a few goes you’re left to your own devices. But for the purpose of the test, we shook ingredients only when prompted too and scored the appliance based on its performance. Air fryers are all the rave at the moment - bringing home cooks quicker dinners that are a tad more healthy too.
