The air fryer has come a long way. In fact, with so much brand competition in the market, it's can be difficult to find a model that doesn't have several extra features. But that's one of the great things about progress. By now, it's clear that air fryers with rotisserie capabilities demand more space. So, be mindful of countertop and storage space and your cabinet clearance. Bigger machines use more materials, which means they're more costly. While you'll have to pay a premium for an air fryer that can rotisserie, not all of them break the bank. Also, if your considering spending more, one with more functionality is a nice plus. Equally, this model like all the other air fryers out there does need close monitoring to ensure your food doesn’t end up just a little too sizzly. However, the stand out features for me have to be the rotisserie and also that rotating wire mesh basket.

Before giving you the rundown on some of the best air fryers with rotisseries, we should point out some primary differences between these important kitchen utensils. What’s the Difference Between an Air Fryer and a Rotisserie? At this point the results were best described as floppy with singed edges. With the second batch, I went straight in with 20 minutes and got slightly better results but the fries were more dehydrated than fried – I think the internal temperature just wasn’t hot enough. The standout features here are the mammoth capacity and the plethora of accessories to use when cooking.
