Germany’s Airfryer Boom Enters Price War as Premium Models Draw Strong Reviews

Deep discounts below €100 reflect a market driven by speed, energy savings, convenience.

Overview

  • Market data from NIQ shows 5.8 million airfryers sold in Germany last year, up from 1.3 million in 2019, confirming mass‑market adoption.
  • Retail offers intensify: Lidl’s Silvercrest grill‑airfryer combo is listed at €99.99, MediaMarkt sells Philips’ 7.1‑liter Flex NA150/00 for about €95, and Ninja’s 4.7‑liter AF140EU drops below €100 with a newsletter code.
  • Chip.de’s February test reports the COSORI ICONIC performed well, with low power use and even results but noticeable noise; the model features 96% stainless steel construction, PFAS/BPA‑free ceramic contact surfaces, 6.2 liters, and a 30–230°C range.
  • IMTEST’s review of the portable Ninja Crispi (test grade 2.64) praises fries and chicken nuggets yet notes higher power draw and a loud 57 dB operation, with a simplified control setup lacking temperature selection.
  • Independent assessments cited by t‑online, including Stiftung Warentest and Ökotest, reaffirm faster, often more energy‑efficient cooking than ovens and report substantially lower acrylamide formation versus traditional deep fryers.
