This Is the Best Air Fryer Deal You'll Ever See
UPDATE, 11/23/2018 at 7:54 a.m.: Bummer! Macy's has completely sold out of this deal, but don't fret just yet. Amazon has the Bella 2.5 liter air fryer on sale for 50% off! It's normally $80, but you can sang one for $40 right now.
Original 11/23/2019 at 7:00 a.m.: Calling anyone who loves fries: Macy's is here to make your dreams (and your New Year's resolutions) come true. For only $8 - a.k.a. the price of lunch at a drive-through - you can buy yourself an air fryer. The Bella 1.2 quart air fryer normally retails for $45, but this Black Friday deal takes a whopping 81% off the list price.
For those who don't know, this trendy kitchen appliance delivers crisp, even cooking but uses a lot less oil for a healthier alternative to traditional deep-frying. Betty Gold, a Senior Editor and Product Analyst at the Good Housekeeping Institute, tested air-fryers in the Kitchen Appliances & Technology Lab and found you can get some pretty delicious results without the overly greasy feel.
"Air fryers circulate hot air similar to a convection oven that adds a crisp exterior with minimal oil," she says. "Your food won't taste like it's deep fried, but it will have a crispy coating."
Another win for air-fryers: "The gadget pre-heats faster than your oven," Gold adds. "Most of the time, you just put your food in the basket, set the timer and temperature, and give it a toss halfway through cooking."
While the Institute has not tested this Bella air fryer specifically, Macy's reviewers gave it a promising four-and-a-half star rating. The small size means it easily fits on the countertop or in a cupboard - one buyer even keeps it at her office for making lunch. (If you're in the market for a bigger fryer, check out the Institute's top picks.)
The Bella 1.2 quart air fryer can air fry, grill, roast or bake up to 1.3 pounds of food and reach temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. That means it's the perfect size for whipping up tasty sides and apps like sweet potato fries, chicken wings, or cauliflower bites - not to mention the occasional doughnut for dessert.
The included dishwasher-safe pan and crisping tray make clean-up easy and a built-in shutoff timer will automatically power down the appliance after 60 minutes.
TIP: Use the code "BLKFRI25" on your Macy's purchase of $25 or more for $10 off.
Bonus: You can choose from black, red, or white - or order a few as easy holiday gifts. Consider your Secret Santa seriously impressed.
