Tefal Easy Fry Compact EY1458
We see the EY1458 as the right Tefal for students, couples, or anyone in a small apartment. At 70 EUR, it is cheaper than most Philips and Cosori models of similar size. The 3.5 L basket handles a single portion of fries in about 15 minutes at 200C, or two modest portions if you do not mind slightly less crispy edges from a fuller basket. The 1300W element is the weakest in the range, so expect cooking times to run 1 to 2 minutes longer than the 1400W or 1500W models. For the price, that is an acceptable tradeoff.
Tefal Easy Fry and Grill XL
The Tefal Easy Fry and Grill XL is unique among air fryers because the grill function actually works. We tested it with burgers, chicken thighs, and vegetables, and the die-cast grill plate left proper grill marks with good char. At $130, the capacity is a bit small compared to what Ninja and Cosori offer at this price, but if you specifically want that grill capability, no other air fryer does it as well.
