Measured usable capacity (L)
View more details.
The manufacturer's claimed capacity can sometimes be misleading, so we have also started measuring the usable capacity of each air fryer. This is a relatively new addition to the test so you may find some models that say "not measured" for this assessment.

Claimed capacity
View more details.
Claimed capacity or volume can be misleading. Some manufacturers measure the whole space inside the air fryer and not the actual useable capacity. For example, a "10-litre" model may only be able to cook about 500g of chips and a "2500-gram" model won't actually be able to accommodate that much weight of food. Take the manufacturers claimed measurements with a grain of salt.
