Meilleures friteuses pour ultra budget

We think the Dash Compact is the best air fryer for dorm rooms, RVs, or anyone cooking for one. At 5.4 lbs and about $40, the investment is minimal. We cooked single servings of fries in about 15 minutes with good crispiness. Do not expect to feed a family with this, but for solo meals and snacks, it does the job remarkably well for the price.

We tested the Chefman TurboFry 3.6 QT as an entry point for people curious about air frying. At under $45, the barrier to entry is about as low as it gets. The analog controls are basic but reliable, and the 60-minute timer is actually better than the 30-minute limits on some pricier models. Perfect for singles or couples who want crispy food without the investment.

We tested the Bombastik 6000 as the absolute floor for air fryer pricing in Europe. At 60 EUR for a 6L unit, it is priced like a toaster but cooks like a proper air fryer. Fries came out crispy in about 18 minutes at 200C, and the basket held a full bag of frozen chips without crowding. The build quality is basic and the fan is loud, but if you just want to try air frying without spending much, this is a sensible entry point.

We tested the FR-9037 as a compact budget pick for students and singles. At 45 EUR it costs less than a nice dinner out, and it delivered decent fries and nuggets in our tests. The 3.5L basket is right-sized for 1 to 2 portions, and the small footprint means it works in kitchens where counter space is at a premium. Just do not expect premium build quality or advanced features at this price.

We tested the Silvercrest SHLF 1000 D2 knowing exactly what to expect at 30 EUR. It crisps fries and nuggets well enough for a single person or a couple, but the 1000W element means you wait 3 to 5 minutes longer than with a 1400W competitor. The analog controls are dead simple, which is a plus for anyone who finds touchscreens annoying. We would not recommend it for a family of 4 or for anyone who cooks daily, but as a first air fryer for occasional use it does the job for remarkably little money.
