Compact air fryer that 'does a great job' now £18 in Amazon sale
Most kitchens in 2025 will have one of these somewhere - either proudly displayed or tucked away for occasional use. With lower energy usage and quicker results, it's no wonder that the air fryer quickly became a kitchen must-have.
Air fryers like this continue to take over kitchens around the world. They rank as the third most-used appliance in UK kitchens after the toaster and microwave. And, with Amazon's July Prime Sale event, there are plenty of discounted models to consider if people want to upgrade or are just entering the world of air frying.
In one deal exclusive to Prime members, the Bella 2.74L Manual Air Fryer costs just £17.93 for the black version, down from the original price tag of £39.99. According to Amazon, the compact kitchen gadget is great for small kitches and for "feeding up to four people" without having to switch on the oven.
On the website, it claims: "Say goodbye to complicated buttons and hello to delicious, hassle-free dishes. Our small air fryers boast simple knob controls, which make cooking easy and fun. Enjoy guilt-free meals with 88% less fat and 65% fewer calories than typical fast food restaurants. Thanks to its compact size, our electric fryer fits easily on any countertop, saving you valuable space without sacrificing performance."
For those who don't need a mammoth appliance taking up space on their worktop, there are lots of alternative single-drawer air fryers. Argos is selling the 5L Tefal Easy Fry Max (£59), Debenhams has a deal on the Living and Home 5.5L Smart Air Fryer (was £89, now £35.99) and Dunelm has a very affordable Manual 4-Litre Air Fryer on sale from its own brand range (£30).
But, shoppers shared their glowing reviews of this specific model from Bella on Amazon that "fits well in small kitchens". One said: "I had been looking at Air Fryers for some time and this one caught my eye. It is basic which is good for me, easy to clean and easy to use and the price was just right. I've used it several times now and it is very efficient and takes no time at all to heat up to the desired temperature and cooks in half the time compared to my conventional fan oven."
Another added: "I bought this as a replacement for another fryer when its handle repeatedly fell off. I'm pleased to see that this one has four solid screws holding on the handle - but only time will tell if it holds up. Compared to the other well-known brands, this one is more robust with a wider frying basket, meaning that the food is properly crisped, rather than piled on top of itself."
A third wrote: "The unit is very nice and compact and can fit snugly in the tightest of spaces. The dials are nice and easy to set, and the timer automatically turns the unit off - it has a nice audible ring when it's finished. The basket and frying bed are dishwasher safe, meaning that clean-up is a breeze."
The reviews weren't all stellar, though, as some suggested there could be an issue with the handle. One wrote: "I bought this to try it as a first-time air fryer. I used it twice, and the whole handle has come apart. All the bolts and screws. I cannot repair myself. Waste of money." Another added: "The handle then came off as the attaching screws fell out one by one. Huge health risk and defective item also!" Liz said: "Great saved me a fortune on electric but it's not big enough."
However, much of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One more put in their review: "The air fryer has been an absolute champion for me on my lunch, it's 2.7L capacity is perfect for portioning out a meal for one person. The basket is really easy to clean and the temperature control seems like it's working perfectly. The food that comes out of this airfryer is never cold or unevenly cooked, providing I've followed the directions properly."
Another put: "Nice little air fryer, can't beat it for the price, simple and just works." Someone else wrote: "Cheap and effective well worth the money." Mike said: "Does a great job! I am so happy having this modern design airfryer."

Britney Spears' iconic Fantasy perfume is on sale for just £4.33 - here's how to get it
Fans of Britney Spears' vibrant and affordable perfume, Fantasy, are in for a treat as we've found a nifty way to get a bottle for just £4.33. With a 100ml bottle currently reduced on sale at Superdrug for £20, instead of £22, this equates to a saving of £17.67. Outperforming current discounts at the likes of Argos, where the perfume is reduced to £16.67, The Fragrance Shop's £18 offer, and Boots' £24.50 price, the Superdrug deal is only accessible when purchased via the deals site TopCashback. This website is a nifty money-saving platform that helps shoppers earn cashback on eligible purchases, when bought through the site. To get the Britney Spears perfume for less, shoppers must sign up here as a new member to TopCashback. Once signed up, search for Superdrug in TopCashback's website and follow the link through. Then simply search for Britney Spears' Fantasy Eau de Parfum and checkout. Once purchased, new members will earn a £15 bonus (on their first purchase over £15) as well as a certain percentage for cashback. This means that while shoppers will have to pay £20 at the checkout for the Britney perfume from Superdrug, within seven working days, they'll receive the £15 bonus in their TopCashback account ready for withdrawal. After all deductions, this means that the Britney Spears Fantasty perfume will cost £4.33 for new members. The Britney Spears Fantasy Eau de Parfum is the singer's second fragrance and is a popular choice amongst beauty buffs. With its playful, sweet scent, it has notes of jasmine petals, white chocolate orchid, red lychee, cupcake accord and creamy musk. Superdrug's website shares how the perfume 'has been created for women who are seductive, charming and elusive, its about loves ability to overwhelm you when you least expect it.' The fragrance arrives in a vibrant pink bottle whose cap and neck features sparkly rings, which is said to 'represent the pursuit of everlasting love' - certainly a bottle that can be proudly displayed for all to admire. Its bottle design competes with that of Jimmy Choo's Blossom Eau De Parfum, which arrives in a bottle with a standout pink ombre design (£27), whilst Valentino's Born In Roma Donna Extradose boasts a funky textured bottle in a deep magenta shade with contrasting black lid, on sale for £61.60. Boasting a 4.6 star rating, the fragrance has won over numerous customers, with one person raving: "I've bought this for a few years now and although it is a bit embarrassing to say you're wearing a Britney Spears perfume at 34 years old, it smells so good on me and I always get complimented which is also nice obviously! I can even smell late into the night and the next morning. I always buy when on offer. Do it!". Another customer simply commented: "Such a lovely smelling perfume, not too overpowering, just perfect. "I've always loved this scent by Britney Spears. The original fantasy perfume. Please don't ever discontinue this one. It's sweet but not overly sweet and not overpowering. Last hours and it's super affordable too and the bottle it's cute," remarked a third. Whilst most people enjoyed the fragrance, one person found it slightly too subtle for their liking, commenting: "As soon as you spray it's a very weak smell... so I sprayed even more, you cannot even smell after one minute!" However, for the most part, people have praised its staying power, with many saying it endures for hours. "I bought this perfume about five years ago and never looked back. Good price (especially on sale) and every time I wear it people ask 'what is your perfume your wearing' and I would have put it on two or three hours before," one person said, echoing the praise for its longevity.
