This year the most in-demand home appliance isn't the usual blenders and stand mixers—it's the air fryer. Getting perfectly crispy French fries, mozzarella sticks, and battered fish is usually a tall order at home, requiring large batches of oil and high temperatures. Air fryers have made that process nearly obsolete, cutting out the oil while keeping the texture as crisp as ever. So is it time to invest? Early Black Friday deals offer a resounding "yes."

Ninja has several top-rated air fryers and multi-cookers that do it all, and we found three options that have great discounts ahead of the holiday weekend. With the popularity of these items, there's a real possibility things will sell out before the end of the week, so it's a great idea to get in early. Whether you're looking for Christmas gifts or something for your own kitchen, these best-selling air fryers will fit the bill.

Stay up to date on what healthy means now.

Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 Indoor Grill and 4-Quart Air Fryer (26% off)
