Quick answer
Air fryers need practical clearance, not just a footprint. Check depth, height, drawer travel and steam path before assuming a model fits under wall cupboards.
What to check
- Measure from wall to front edge of the usable counter.
- Check appliance height against wall cupboards and shelves.
- Allow room to remove baskets or open doors safely.
- Check cable length and whether the socket position forces awkward placement.
- Think about where hot baskets will be set down.
Trade-offs
A taller or deeper appliance may be fine on an open island but awkward under cupboards. Compact dimensions can help, but only if the cooking area still suits your meals.
