Buying guides
Start with the job, then choose capacity and power.
Air fryers
Choose capacity by regular portion size. Compact baskets suit one or two people; larger households benefit from more cooking area and easier batch cooking.
Rice cookers
Match capacity to the amount of rice normally cooked. Keep-warm functions help when meals are served at different times.
Blenders and grinders
Use motor power and included jars to decide. Dry spices, wet grinding and smoothies need different jar shapes.
Kettles and cookers
Check wattage, counter space and control type. Safety shut-off and stable handles matter for daily use.
