Who says you need to cook your favorite fried foods in oil to get that crispy texture you love? Air fryers use much less oil than traditional frying. They circulate super hot air to create that crispy, crunchy outcome we all adore, but using just a few tablespoons of oil. Have you decided to get smart and join the air-fryer revolution? Here's your chance: Just for today, Amazon has slashed the prices of popular Philips air fryers up to 48%. The model you definitely don't want to miss — the Philips Essential Digital Air Fryer — is down to $93 ($87 off).

$150 at Amazon

This Philips air fryer offers a four-liter capacity to help you whip up fries, wings and more with the touch of a button. It also grills, roasts, bakes and reheats, and it features a digital touch screen with seven presets to make cooking a breeze.

Remember what we said up top about oil use? To be specific: Normal fryers use 50 times more oil than air fryers — 50 times! Air fryers cook all your favorite crunchies with all the flavor but much less fat and fewer harmful compounds than are found in most traditionally fried foods (specifically acrylamide, which studies show could be linked to cancer).

"This is a great air fryer for two," raved a satisfied shopper. "I can fit most of our food that I want to air fry for a meal in one air fry session. It's really easy to clean and does a great job with fish, fries, shrimp, chicken, vegetables and more. It doesn't take up a lot of room on the counter either. I use it almost every day."

Want something roomier? Consider the three-quart Philips Digital Air Fryer ($166, from $250). It uses special fatremoval technology to capture and remove excess fat. Flip through a huge array of functions, including air fry, bake, grill, roast, reheat, dehydrate and toast. You can even preset cooking functions, so whipping up fries or nuggets is as simple as pushing one button.

"Really nice appliance," said a happy customer. "I was fairly impressed that this was a Philips product and was rather awesome at fat removal. I’ve made Panko shrimp that is absolutely great-tasting, simply following a recipe. And chicken. Controls are easy to use and clean up by hand washing rather easy too. And heck, fits into the dishwasher quite well. Well engineered product!"
