Best air fryer in India, Best air fryer Brand

Airfryers are the latest gadget in the market for healthy cooking. At the end of this page we list the best air fryers in India with complete specifications and price. Philips Air fryers were the first to hit the market and they are still considered as the best air fryer brand in India by many. But now many new air fryer models available in India have new innovations like Halogen heating elements and rotating food tray.

For more on the fundamentals of Air Fryers see our page describing what an air fryer is and how to use it.

How many types of Air Fryers are there?

There are three types of Air Fryers:

1. Static Air Fryer in which the food stays stationary and the hot air circulates around it.
2. Dynamic Air Fryer in which the food is gently stirred by a rotating paddle while the hot air circulates around it.
3. Halogen Air Fryer where a special halogen light bulb is used as the heating element instead of normal heating coils. The Halo fryer, as it is commonly known as, can be of either the static or dynamic type. The static type Halogen air fryer is also known as the Halogen Oven. The efficiency of the halogen heating element is supposed to be better than the regular heating coils, but I would say the difference cannot be much. One major advantage with the halogen air fryer is that with the bright light inside the cooking chamber and a transparent glass cover, the food being cooked inside can be seen very clearly and it helps in knowing the end point of cooking like how brown the food has turned.

What is special about Oster Halo Air Fryer

The Oster Halo is different from the normal Air fryers. Normal air fryers are of the static type, meaning the food is not moving during the air fry cooking. For example, when frying potato chips, the potato chips are not moving and stay one on top of the other, and this could result in the potato chips getting stuck together. The Oster Halo is a dynamic Air Fryer, the food is gently stirred while it is being air fried. The pan of the Oster Halo fryer rotates and with the paddle being fixed, it gently stirs the food while being air fried. This results in a more even cooking.

For foods like Cutlets and Samosas, static air frying is a better choice, and for this the Oster Halo Fryer can be used without the paddle, so no stirring of the food takes place. Oster Halo Fryer also has a special stand which allows grilled food to be made in an air fryer and for the oil to drain away while air fry grilling of fatty foods like bacon or chicken drumsticks/chicken legs.

The other specialty of the Oster Halo Fryer is that it uses a powerful Halogen lamp as the heating element. Halogen cooking is the latest technology, which is popular in modern day ovens. With Halogen heating technology incorporated in a dynamic air fryer results in an air fryer using the best technologies. The Halogen heating lamp in the Oster Halo Fryer is advantageous in two ways: one, there is a bright light in the cooking area which enables to see what is being cooked inside the air fryer very clearly through the transparent cover. This is very helpful, for example, to know how brown the food has become inside the air fryer. Second, the halogen heating element is more efficient than the normal heating coils in ordinary Air fryers.

I own a more expensive Air Fryer, the Tefal Actifry described below, but in my opinion the Oster Halo Fryer is better, even though it is cheaper air fryer at about half the price. You can also make meat or vegetables currys in this Halo air fryer as described in the Tefal Actifry description below.
