- DWAF 3013 AIr Fryer – This fryer, which is currently priced around Rs.27,000 is good for a small family. It has a cooking capacity of 3L and offers a variety of cooking and temperature control settings. Its basket is coated with a non-stick Teflon coating, which prevents the food from sticking.

Haier HAF 40W claims to use 80% less oil during cooking and comes with a 1 year warranty. The fryer’s capacity is 4L, which means it’s good for a small family.

Anex Air Fryers
Anex currently offers two models – AG-2019 Air Fryer and AG-2020 Air Fryer.

Like other air fryers, Anex air fryers also offer a variety of cooking and temperature settings for baking, roasting and grilling.

Kenwood Air Fryers
Kenwood is a known British brand of home and kitchen appliances. The company currently offers two models of air fryers in Pakistan, namely:

- HFP50.000 BK – It’s priced around Rs.36,000.
The company’s website isn’t clear about the differences between the two; however, both claim to use only 1,500 Watt, offer 5.5L capacity and consume less than 80% fat than traditional fryers, etc. Both air fryers come fitted with an overheating protection feature. If you buy a Kenwood air fryer, it would come with a recipe book.
To conclude, local brands do not offer variety when it comes to air fryers, though their limited models offer a variety of settings, which international brands offer. Locally manufactured air fryers are also economical and therefore popular in Pakistan. With the exception of Philips, all other popular brands in Pakistan are competitively priced and offer similar, if not same, features. So, your buying decision would really depend on your budget.
