Editorial Policy
Editorial Standards
Air Fryer Finder is an evidence-led resource. Our coverage is independent, test-driven, and designed to deliver long-term value for busy households. Every recommendation must be supported by verifiable testing, transparent methods, or repeatable kitchen trials.
Independence & Integrity
- We do not accept payment for positive reviews, guaranteed coverage, or preferential placement.
- Manufacturers cannot preview or edit our conclusions or scores.
- Loaner units may be accepted for testing; acceptance never guarantees coverage. When feasible, we purchase retail units under alias accounts to avoid selection bias.
Sourcing & Citations
- We cite specifications, manuals, and safety documentation directly from manufacturers and standards bodies when relevant.
- When referencing third-party data (e.g., material safety, energy ratings), we link to primary sources.
Testing & Verification
- All reviews and comparisons are grounded in the methodology described on our How We Test page.
- Claims about capacity, noise, energy, or performance must be reproducible on our bench and, when possible, in a second setting.
Review Process
- Define user scenarios (family dinners, small-space cooking, batch prep).
- Run standardized tests and record metrics.
- Analyze trade-offs (throughput vs. evenness, speed vs. noise, capacity vs. cleanup).
- Draft recommendations with clear caveats and use-case fit.
- Senior editor review for clarity, accuracy, and user value.
Updates & Corrections
- We timestamp major edits and maintain changelogs on significant reviews and tools.
- If we make a factual error, we correct it promptly and note the correction date.
Monetization & Disclosures
- Air Fryer Finder is reader-supported via affiliate links. If you click a link and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
- As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Monetization never dictates our conclusions or product rankings.
Product Submissions
- Brands may submit products for consideration via [email protected]. Submission does not guarantee testing or coverage. All units are evaluated by the same standards.
Community & Feedback
- We welcome reader feedback, test replication notes, and correction requests at [email protected]. Where appropriate, we incorporate reader data into future testing.
Accessibility & Inclusivity
- We prioritize clear, jargon-light guidance and tools that support different diets, budgets, and household sizes.
AI & Automation
- We may use automation for data normalization and formatting but never to replace expert testing or editorial judgment. Human editors approve all publishable content.
