Just thinking about crisp, salty French fries can make your mouth water, am I right? Of course the calorie count of fried foods is a bit of a buzzkill. Enter the air fryer: the miracle machine that uses little to no oil to crisp food to perfection. So you get the taste without the unhealthy extra calories. In other words, you can have your cake (or French Fries) and eat them, too.

An air fryer is essentially a countertop convection oven with a powerful fan that generates and circulates hot air around food. While that might sound expensive, it's not. As air fryers have become increasingly popular, there have been more and more options at lower prices available.

We combed the Internet for air fryers under $60 and assembled the list below. Some but not all are on the smaller side, so note sizes. One more plus to cooking with an air-fryer: it keeps the activity contained, so your kitchen stays clean! Find your extremely affordable air fryer below.

Family size: Gourmia 6-quart Digital Air Fryer

This Gourmia six-quart air fryer delivers high-end features at an amazing price. For Cyber Week it's down from $69 to just $54! The Gourmia has twelve easy preset cooking functions that cover pretty much everything you might need: air fry, fries, wings, bacon, seafood, vegetables, bake, roast, broil, dehydrate, reheat and keep warm. The angled touch screen makes it easy to adjust settings, and there’s an optional "turn food" reminder. The six-quart capacity serves two to four people.

A Walmart shopper loves it: “Great product! Food tastes like it was fried, but without the extra oil! Great for french fries and chicken fingers! Setup and cleaning was easy! Clear and simple instructions on how to use it. Size is great — fits perfectly on my kitchen counter but is also easy to store away when not using. Highly recommended.”

Midsize among our picks, with plenty of enthusiastic reviews. (Photo: Amazon)

You can bake, fry, grill, and roast using the compact Amazon Basics 3.2-quart compact air fryer. It's a solid performer at an affordable $60. The gadget requires little to no oil for crisping up your favorite fried foods. The temperature and time controls are intuitive, the non-stick basket is easy to clean, and an automatic shut-off feature ensures safety.

One Amazon shopper said: “I'm new to constant cooking [...] and didn't want to gain weight but wanted tasty food. The air fryer was recommended. This one doesn't disappoint and can do more than just fry veggies. I've already cooked okra, potato fries, sweet potato fries, squash, and even cooked some ahi tuna. Fried some avocados (in panko) and also some frozen corn dogs. It's easy to use with clear, logical dials and the pans are easy to hand or dishwasher wash. Spraying them with cooking oil speeds up clean-up time too. A clear manual helped me learn cooking times and techniques.”

The Dash Compact Air Fryer Oven is an Amazon's Choice item with more than 13,000 five-star reviews. Compact and lightweight, it has a two-quart cooking drawer and auto-shutoff (should, say, a dorm dweller fall asleep while making their midnight snack). With a decidedly futuristic look, this little beauty actually adds to your kitchen decor. The smaller size also means it heats up pretty quickly too. Also in black, gray, red or white.

"PERFECT little air fryer for one, maybe two, people! Heats wonderfully and cooks foods super fast," says one five-star shopper. "Chicken wings are my favorite to cook in this amazing little contraption, and you would swear they were fried! I’m hooked. I’ve already recommended to a few friends."

The Elite Gourmet one-quart air fryer is an absolute bargain at $38. It has a small footprint, so it's great for tight spaces, and is just right for whipping up a personal portion in a jiffy.

A Walmart shopper said the Elite Gourmet is a perfect addition to her home: “It is incredibly easy to use. The directions on the top are spot on. It is easy to clean, super compact (which is great for condo/apartment living) and the choice of colors was great!” Another said it’s ideal for one person: “Perfect for a single household, have never eaten so many french fries in my life since I got it, even tried jerky and apples, it's all perfect. Perfect for a college kid too.”
