Sanford 5.5L Air Fryer 1500W with Touch Screen and 7 Smart Presets - SF2450AF

Five and a half litres is the size that suits most households — big enough for three people's dinner in one batch, small enough that it does not dominate a counter or take forever to heat. The Sanford SF2450AF runs 1500W with a touch-screen display and seven smart presets, covering the everyday jobs: chips, chicken, fish, vegetables. Its 80–200°C range is the useful part beyond presets — low for gentle reheating without drying food out, high for genuine crisping and roasting — and the 60-minute timer handles a roast rather than just a quick fry. Frying, baking, grilling and roasting with little or no oil, which for most families is a real change in how much oil the household gets through in a month.

Specifications

Buying guide

This is the sensible default capacity, and the one to choose if you are unsure. It feeds about three people in a single batch, which covers a small family, a couple who entertain occasionally, or a household that cooks for two with leftovers. Go bigger only if you regularly cook for four or more, or want to roast whole chickens — batching kills the convenience. Go smaller only if you genuinely cook for one. Beyond capacity, the adjustable temperature range matters more than the preset count, and 80–200°C covers everything a home kitchen needs. Practical points that improve results immediately: single layer, never crowded; shake or turn halfway through; light oil spray for browning; and preheat for a couple of minutes before adding food for anything you want crisp. Wash the basket after every use to prevent grease build-up and smoking.

How it compares

Against the 7L and 8L models, this is smaller and cheaper, suiting three people rather than four or five. Compared with the 4L SF2455AF, this adds a touch screen, presets and a much wider temperature and timer range. Against the 3.5L, considerably more capacity. Against a conventional oven, faster to heat and cheaper to run for everyday portions. Against deep frying, far less oil and no disposal problem.
