Quick answer
Air fryer capacity is not just about litres. Match basket shape, usable cooking area, portion size and storage space to the meals you actually cook.
What to check
- List the usual number of portions for weeknight meals.
- Check basket width and depth, not only headline litre capacity.
- Allow space around the appliance for loading, opening and cooling.
- Compare drawer, oven-style and dual-zone layouts against your recipes.
- Check whether accessories reduce usable cooking space.
Trade-offs
A larger basket can reduce batch cooking, but it can be harder to store and slower to preheat. A compact model can suit small kitchens, but may need more batches for family meals.
