Air fryers are a kitchen appliance staple, but each year brings new innovations in form and function.
There are so many types of air fryers that we now have dedicated roundups for the best air fryer of all types, the best double drawer air fryer, the best air fryer oven – and we even have a specific roundup to the Ninja. .
But innovation is what we rewarded this year, and this product is unlike any other product on the market.
Check out all of this year’s Tech Advisor Best of 2024-25 award winners.
Best New Air Fryer of the Year – Winner: Ninja Double Stack XL
Emma Rowley / Foundry
Ninja has done something truly different with the Double Stack XL (called DoubleStack XL in the US) – and so far its unique design hasn’t been copied. It’s a two-drawer air fryer, but its cooking drawers are stacked on top of each other, freeing up some of your valuable counter space.
The Double Stack XL is incredibly flexible and therefore incredibly useful
Each cooking drawer also has two cooking zones, thanks to the metal racks you can insert into the drawers, for two-level air frying. Thanks to this space-saving design, the Double Stack XL is incredibly flexible and therefore incredibly useful.
Combined with Ninja’s simple and intuitive control panel, the result is a particularly convenient air fryer, which you can use for everything from snacks to full family meals.

Best New Air Fryer of the Year – First Runner-Up: Procook Air Fryer Health Grill
Emma Rowley / Foundry
If you want a versatile air fryer multicooker, the Procook Air Fryer Health Grill is one of the best options available. Most countertop cookers are only suitable for cooking dry foods or making stews – but you can prepare almost anything in the ProCook, using any cooking method possible. And it comes with a host of accessories to help you get there.
Its build quality is excellent, and the stainless steel panels and curved design give it countertop appeal. There are other nice design touches as well, including the removable splash guard on the heating coil for easy cleaning.

Best New Air Fryer of the Year – Runner-Up: Sage Smart Oven Air Fryer
Alex Greenwood / Foundry
This is a beautiful device that would look great on any countertop. And it has such a range of features that you can even get rid of some of your other kitchen clutter, including your toaster. The Sage Smart Oven Air Fryer (sold as the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer in the United States) has ten functions: grill, broil, crumpet, bake, roast, pizza, reheat, reheat, air fry and cook slowly. Each function comes with a preset that you can adjust once chosen.
What we appreciated most, however, was the quality of the food it produces. This is a highly consistent cooker that uses an intelligent algorithm to direct power where and when it is needed to create the ideal cooking environment.
