If you’ve not yet caught onto the craze, you really should consider adding an air fryer to your kitchen arsenal. These nifty devices can all but replace your hob and oven, using way less time, energy, and fat to perfectly cook your grub. If you opt for dual drawers, you can maximise your cooking efficiency by cooking multiple foods at different temperatures, all whilst syncing them up so they’re ready at the same time.
That’s exactly what’s on offer with the HOMCOM Oil Free Dual Air Fryer at just £63.74 down from £74.99 at Yimbly, which is owned by our parent company Reach (all prices correct at the time of writing). That’s even better than the Amazon price, where it’s retailing at the full £74.99.
On the average UK energy tariff, it costs just 30p per hour to run when using one drawer or 60p per hour if you’re using both. It will heat up in just a couple of minutes and cook up to 30% faster than a conventional oven, so it’s all but guaranteed to save you some time and money in the kitchen. Without the need for oil, you can also enjoy cooked food with significantly less fat.

It has a temperature range of 65 to 230 degrees centigrade, with an up-to-60-minute timer for convenience. The drawers can be operated together or independently, with different temperatures and timings to suit whatever you’re cooking.
At Amazon, the HOMCOM Oil-Free Dual Air Fryer has got a 4.3 out of 5-star average from 22 customer reviews so far. “Absolutely love this product,” said one five-star review there. “It was a Christmas present for me. It’s cooked so many dinners I use it everyday. I like how you can air fry using each basket on different temperatures and times.”
“I already have a two-drawer name brand air fryer, but this one is now my preferred choice,” said another five-star write-up. “It’s slightly more compact, and I really like the sleek look. I also like the fact that it doesn’t make a ridiculous series of beeps when I switch it on! Good price for an air fryer of this size and quality. Ideal for a family of 3-4 people. Would recommend.”
Another added: “A well-built device from an unknown brand name for me, but one I now have an appreciation for given that this air fryer is so well thought out, efficient and easy to use. Good value too at under £80 at time of review.”
Some customers found some early teething pains while they got to know their air fryer, however. “Not really sure I understand what all the fuss is about when it comes to air fryers? I get that it doesn’t use oil, bonus, but I was expecting crispy fries, like you get at a certain golden-arched eatery? But alas this was not to be the case,” said one person.
Others contested claims around drawer size saying: “The unit itself is big but the actual space inside the drawers is a bit narrower than I thought they would be. A roast chicken is shown in the advertisement, it certainly wouldn’t fit a chicken.”
Ninja has become the go-to brand for air fryers, and right now its own dual-drawer machines are reduced in its January sale. The Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone is just £199.99 down from £269.99, for example. On the bargain side of things, this Black and Decker air fryer is a steal at just £59.99 from Robert Dyas.
For a quality air fryer at a cracking price, the HOMCOM Oil Free Dual Air Fryer at Yimbly is well worth considering while you weigh up your options.
