If you’re like me and want to buy an air fryer that’s made in the USA, then this article is for you.
I don’t mind paying extra if it’s manufactured in the US. It’ll support American families and will strengthen our society overall.
But is there any air fryer made in the USA, not in China? Let’s find out:
Best Air Fryer Made in USA
We started our research with the most popular air fryer brands like Ninja, Cosori, NUWAVE, GoWISE USA, Instant Vortex, PowerXL, etc. Then we further looked at the model from these top brands.
Some of the products that we specifically looked at:
- Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer
- Ninja Air Fryer AF101
- NUWAVE BRIO 15.5 QT.
- PowerXL Air Fryer
- Chefman Digital 6.5 L Air Fryer
- TaoTronics Air Fryer
- KOIOS Air Fryer 39006
While most of these are manufactured in China, some models are made in the US.
Why are most Air Fryers Made in China?
China is the global hub of electronics skill sets. The manufacturing costs are way much less in China than in any other part of the world.
Even Apple manufacture its products in China and sells them worldwide. So most of the time it’s the brand that’s providing value to the customer by ensuring product quality and satisfying customer support.
The models mentioned above are some of the best air fryer models out there and their product quality made them the top choice for many of us.
If you’re looking for an American-made air fryer, not from China, then Chefman Digital 6.5 L Air Fryer (Amazon link) is the one you can go for.

i bought chefman with a mechanical timer, on purpose mechanical, and it broke after used 3 times. yeah made in usa with cheap foreign parts, makes it a junk. maybe made in germany may be better option.
Check again and confirm with Chefman. I believe they are made in China
