Airfryers as a whole are getting increasingly common in the everyday household, but why? There is a lot to unpack when it comes to air fryers, why are they great, why are some more expensive than others, what you should watch out for when buying an air fryer and many more related questions. At DNA Health we have 3 completely different DNA Airfryers that serve different purposes that suit different consumers.
Why Are Airfryers So Popular?
There is a very scary time we are all familiar with and that was COVID Lockdown. Yes, this is one of the key areas where air fryers skyrocketed in popularity. Students suddenly needed to learn how to cook fast, no quick Starbucks, no university meals, and no more instant noodles (no one could live off that for too long). And an air fryer was the perfect solution because it took little to no skill or time to prepare delicious, and sometimes nutritious, meals in minutes.
Online school really encouraged busy parents to whip up quick and nutritious warm meals for their children during both their lunch breaks. A quick air-fried meal was the ideal solution. The same concept applies to the many workers that were now working from home. The convenience of receiving an instant prepared meal at work was suddenly not an option. Sure an air fryer can’t magically prepare a full meal in an instant, but it was the next best thing other than taking the extra long cook time on the stove.
In other words, those who no longer could grab an instant meal now turned to air fryers for quick and easy meals to prepare during work or even school hours. And even after the Lockdown was lifted those who did end up with an air fryer loved them so much that they recommended them to all their friends and family members. Which gave rise to the ‘clearly you don’t own an air fryer’ meme.

Are The DNA Airfryers Worth It?
Yes, it is worth owning an air fryer. It is a healthier alternative, especially for those with diabetes, high cholesterol, or heart conditions. An Airfryer is significantly healthier than using a normal oil fryer simply because a high intake of fats and oils is bad for you and can cause health issues. And an Airfryer will give you the same result as an oil fryer only containing less calories and reducing your oil intake. The reduced cooking time is also a bonus!
Choosing an air fryer means knowing which essential features to look for when buying one. From size to design, there’s plenty to consider. The DNA Airfryer rage are high-performance Airfryers that make for speedier cooking and great results every time. With digital touch screens, smart technology, and with many presets and accessories to enjoy!
Visible Window
Having a visible window in your Air Fryer is a must for cooking the perfect meal. Looking in on what’s cooking makes sure you don’t interrupt the cooking process by opening the door. It also allows you to keep an eye on your food while watching it transform.
Size Matters
The bigger the better! We would always recommend purchasing a larger air fryer for the convenience of having more space to work with. With smaller air fryers you shouldn’t overload it too much otherwise your food won’t cook properly, so why not just get the bigger air fryer and enjoy the extra space? We know you won’t regret it!
Programming
Presets, presets, presets, the best feature of newer air fryers is the advanced technology and programming that goes into them today. It is simply the best to place your food in an air fryer and select a preset rather than adjusting the time and temperature manually. Got pizza, then choose the pizza preset! Got pop-corn, then choose the pop-corn preset! And so on.
Spares
Imagine this, you just bought an air fryer in South Africa and after some time one of the accessories goes missing, how long do you think it will take you to receive a spare, a month, a week? At DNA Health it will only take days because we are a South African-based company and do our best to have stock on spares for the convenience of our customers.
Price vs Quality
Often the price point can be the most significant deciding factor when buying a kitchen appliance like an Air Fryer. Choosing a cheap option means you often sacrifice quality and convenient features. Lower-quality air fryers tend to leak chemicals into your food so it’s important that you take careful consideration into choosing an air fryer that is made with higher-quality materials so it’s safer and tends to last a lot longer.
Design
Air fryers come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common shape is a rounded design almost like an egg with a basket, at DNA Health all our air fryers from our range have a sharper and unique square design and are made with a metal exterior with a mixture of a matt design and a gloss or reflective design. Very modern! All our DNA Airfryers have a visible window so you keep an eye on your food without the need to open the air fryer and let all that hot air out.
Bottom Line
The DNA Airfryer range is praised for its versatility, range of sizes, ease of use and the utilisation of presets and accessories to cook any dish and replace other appliances. The DNA Smart Airfryer utilised the basket design, the DNA Airfryer Oven utilises an oven design with a 14.5l capacity and the DNA Dual Airfryer Oven has a much larger capacity of 36l and comes with more accessories to suit all your needs. Although the DNA Airfryer range is not the cheapest in the market it does make a difference with its versatility, size, ease of use, amount of presets, accessories, customer service and overall quality.
