Air fryer mistakes that can actually start a fire

The most pressing open question for consumers is whether the air fryer already in their kitchen carries a valid safety certification — something many users have never checked. For those considering a new purchase, the gap in safety standards between certified and uncertified models remains a live issue as budget appliances continue to flood the market. How retailers and regulators respond to the proliferation of uncertified kitchen appliances is a question that consumer protection bodies in both the UK and EU are expected to address in the coming months.
