The standard format: a pull-out drawer with a perforated basket sitting in it. Fast to heat, easy to shake mid-cook and easy to wash. 67 basket air fryers are verified here at the manufacturer's own price, from ₹2,199 to ₹19,999, across Lifelong, Wonderchef, KENT, American Micronic, Kenstar, Crompton, AGARO and Morphy Richards.

Capacities run from 1.8 to 12 litres. Read that number carefully: on a basket fryer it is the volume of the basket, not the amount of food it cooks well. A 4 litre basket comfortably does chips for two; crowding it past a single layer is the commonest reason an air fryer disappoints, because the hot air can no longer reach every surface.

46 of the 67 have a digital panel rather than a dial, and 40 publish a preset-menu count. Presets are convenience, not capability — they simply set a time and temperature you could dial in yourself.

Every price and specification was read from the brand's own store on 18 September 2026. Amazon and Flipkart frequently sell below the brand store in a sale week, so compare using the links on each model.

How we chose these

Usable capacity, not basket volume

We list the litre figure the maker publishes and then say what it realistically feeds. Food has to sit in roughly one layer for air frying to work, so a 5 litre basket is a two-to-three person appliance, not a four-to-five person one.

Watts tell you preheat speed

Higher wattage mostly buys faster preheating and better recovery when you open the drawer. It does not make the food crisper on its own.

Published specs only

Every figure comes from Lifelong, Wonderchef, KENT, American Micronic, Kenstar, Crompton, AGARO and Morphy Richards's own listing or product page. Where a brand publishes no wattage, the model says so rather than carrying an estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the best basket air fryer in India?
Among the 67 verified here the entry point is the Lifelong 800W 2.5L Air Fryer at ₹2,199 with a 2.5 litre basket, and the largest is the Morphy Richards Duocrisp at ₹19,999. Pick on the capacity you will actually fill in one layer.
What does a basket air fryer cost?
₹2,199 to ₹19,999 on brand-store prices checked September 2026, across 67 models.
Does an air fryer really use less oil?
Yes, and this is the one claim in the category that holds up. An air fryer is a small convection oven: a fan drives hot air past the food fast enough to brown and crisp it, so you need a brushing of oil rather than a panful. What it does not do is reproduce deep-fried texture exactly — chips come out closer to oven-roasted than to fried, and batter-coated food does not work well at all because there is no hot oil to set the batter.
How much electricity does an air fryer use?
Most are rated 1,200-1,800 W, but they run for minutes, not hours. A 1,500 W fryer for a 20-minute batch draws about 0.5 units — roughly ₹4 at ₹8 a unit. That is less than heating a full oven for the same food, because there is far less air and metal to bring up to temperature.
How do I stop food coming out soggy?
Three things, in order: do not overfill the basket — one layer, with gaps; preheat for two to three minutes so the food meets hot air rather than warming up with it; and pat wet food dry and brush it with a little oil. Most sogginess is overcrowding, not a fault in the machine.
