Sanford 7L Digital Air Fryer 1700W with LED Display and 12 Preset Programs - SF2454AF

The most powerful air fryer in the range at 1700W, and power is what determines how quickly food crisps rather than dries. Higher wattage means the basket recovers temperature faster after you open it and after cold food goes in, which in practice is the difference between crisp chips and pale ones. The Sanford SF2454AF holds 7 litres — enough for a family of four — and offers 12 preset programs, the most here, so chips, chicken, fish, steak, vegetables and baking each have a setting rather than requiring you to remember numbers. An LED display shows exactly what it is doing, and the 60-minute timer covers full roasts. It fries, bakes, grills and roasts with a fraction of the oil deep frying needs, and it reheats leftovers far better than a microwave.

Specifications

Buying guide

Between the 7L and 8L models, the choice is power versus space. This one has 1700W against 1500W, which crisps faster and recovers temperature better, and it offers 12 presets against 10 — but the 8L basket holds more and takes a whole chicken more comfortably. If you cook for four and want the best results, take this; if you regularly cook for five or roast whole birds, take the 8L. Either way, resist buying smaller than 5.5L unless you are cooking for one or two. Presets are a convenience rather than a necessity; the important thing is that you can override them. Cook in a single layer, shake or turn halfway, and use a light spray of oil for browning. The one maintenance habit that matters: wash the basket and drawer after every use, because accumulated grease is what makes an air fryer smoke and smell.

How it compares

Against the 8L SF2458AF, this has more power and more presets in a slightly smaller basket — better crisping, less capacity. Compared with the 5.5L, 4L and 3.5L models, this suits a family where those suit smaller households. Against a conventional oven, far faster to preheat and much cheaper to run. Against deep frying, a fraction of the oil, no disposal and no lingering smell. Against a microwave for reheating, an air fryer restores crispness that a microwave destroys.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose this or the 8L model?
This one for better crisping — 1700W against 1500W recovers heat faster — and 12 presets. The 8L holds more and takes a whole chicken more comfortably.

Does higher wattage matter?
Yes. More power means the basket recovers temperature faster after opening or after cold food goes in, which is the practical difference between crisp and pale results.

How do I stop it smoking?
Wash the basket and drawer after every use. Accumulated grease burning off is the usual cause of smoke and smell, not the appliance itself.
