Top budget air fryers under Rs 10,000 for healthy cooking

Air fryers are a healthy alternative to deep frying foods. Their design is quite simple and they fry or cook foods very well, but only using a spoonful of oil. This feat is made possible by the use of powerful convection air currents within the fryer, which circulates superheated air to fry your food.

If we’ve convinced you to buy one or you happen to be in the market for one, here are the best air fryers under Rs 10,000 that you should consider:
