A $25 air fryer that won't crowd the countertop

Thanks to trendy air fryers and super convection cooking technology, being "full of hot air" has been given a total image overhaul -- it's a good thing now, folks. Air frying imitates deep frying for popular snack classics like chicken wings, cheese sticks, french fries and fried calamari or shrimp. It does all this with none -- or very little -- of that extra grease, fat and calories associated with regular frying. Right now, Best Buy has a 1.6-quart Bella air fryer on sale for $25, down from $50. It's one of the lowest prices we've seen for any air fryer and the deal is just for today.

Air fryers are equally great for quickly nailing frozen snacks (looking at you, Trader Joe's), like potstickers, samosas, tater tots or mozzarella sticks. You can get even healthier with easy air-fried mushrooms (my dad's personal favorite), Brussels sprouts or sweet potato skins. There's really no need for breading or oil to achieve that coveted crispy-outside, moist-inside situation we all love. It's a good time to be alive. Sort of. 

Shipping is $9 but if you choose free no-contact curbside pickup you can grab it later today.
