If you're in the market for a new air fryer, consider upgrading to the Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer 8.3L, currently discounted by 44% as part of Amazon Prime Big Deals Days. This limited-time offer reduces the price of this double-basket air fryer from £179.99 to just £99.99.

With a wide range of air fryers at various price points available, it can be tough to decide which one to choose. However, after upgrading my old single-basket air fryer to this Tefal model earlier this year, it's become my most frequently used kitchen gadget.

After conducting some research and reading reviews online, the Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer initially caught my eye due to its mid-range price point. For comparison, the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer 7.6L costs £200, while the Dunelm 7.2L Flex Drawer Air Fryer is priced at £90 at full price.

The fact that celebrity chef Jamie Oliver used it on his Channel 4 show, Jamie's Air Fryer Meals, sealed the deal for me. The Tefal air fryer is essentially a two-in-one gadget, featuring two differently sized drawers.

You have the option to heat one drawer independently, thereby saving on energy costs, or utilise both to cook various foods simultaneously in different ways, reports MyLondon.

One particularly clever feature is the ability to synchronise the drawers, ensuring everything is ready at the same time. You can place meat into the larger drawer at a higher temperature, and vegetables that require less cooking time in the smaller drawer, hit sync, and the air fryer will do its magic so that both items cook together without any need for your intervention.

The quality, speed, and crispness of the food produced by the Tefal air fryer is exceptional. I've cooked a variety of foods, from crispy chips to juicy meat, re-heated pizza, and even baked muffins, and it has never let me down.

It comes with pre-set modes like fish and fries, or you can manually adjust the temperature and time yourself. Granted, it's a bit more complex to operate than my previous air fryer, but it only took me a few tries to master it and you certainly don't need to be a tech whizz to get the most out of it.

When it comes to cleaning the air fryer, I simply take out the drawers and either pop them in the dishwasher or wash them by hand. I've never had an issue with food sticking to the inside of the drawers, and the removable trays inside the baskets are easy to insert and remove.

The Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer is a sizeable appliance, so you'll need some room on your kitchen counter. However, its stylish design makes it a welcome addition to any kitchen.

If space is at a premium, consider the vertical double-stack Ninja's Double Stack 2-Drawer Air Fryer 7.6L, priced at £229.99. Since upgrading to the Tefal air fryer, I've found it cooks food faster and tastier than my oven.

It's also more cost-effective to run, especially when cooking for one or two people, thanks to its dual basket with an 8.3L capacity. I bought the Tefal Air Fryer at full price and would do so again, but now it's less than £100, making it a deal worth considering.

You can buy the Tefal Easy Fry Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer for £99.99 here. Amazon has also cut the price of the Russell Hobbs XXL Family Rapid Digital Air Fryer 8L to £65.54 from £159.99 if you're happy with a single drawer.

Alternatively, the Lakeland Dual Basket Air Fryer with Easy View Windows 8L is available for £99.99, and customers have lauded it as 'quick, easy to clean and energy-saving'.
