The Good

In-Depth Review
The Value Proposition: At AED 219, this is one of the cheapest branded digital air fryers in the UAE market. It replaces the older 7.2L model in our list because it offers similar "smart" features (touch screen, presets) at a significantly lower price point, albeit with slightly less capacity.
Performance: The 1800W power is sufficient for the 5.6L basket, ensuring crispy fries and chicken. It accommodates approximately 1.5kg of food, which is sufficient for a standard lunch for 3-4 people.
Critical Warning: We noticed a pattern in user feedback regarding rust. This usually happens with budget models using specific metal alloys. Tip: Do not air-dry this basket. After washing, dry it immediately with a towel or return it to the fryer for 2 minutes to ensure no moisture remains.
Why we picked this
"The undisputed value champion. You are getting a reputable brand, digital touch controls, and family-sized capacity for the price of a generic manual fryer. Perfect for families of 3-4 looking for their first air fryer."
