What a used air fryer is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for air fryers, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £90 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £76 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £58 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £40 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £22 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a air fryer
- Larger capacities and dual-basket models
- Non-stick baskets with coating intact
- Recognised brands with replacement parts available
- Original box and instructions
What lowers it
- Flaking non-stick coating, which makes the basket unusable
- Persistent cooking odours in the plastic housing
- Small single-basket models, which are heavily supplied
- Failing digital displays and touch controls
How to work out what yours is worth
- Inspect the basket coating closely for flaking or scratches
- Run it empty for a few minutes and check the fan and heater
- Note the capacity in litres and whether it is single or dual basket
Once you have those three answers you can place your own air fryer on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Do air fryers sell well second hand?
They sell quickly but for modest sums, because so many households bought one. Larger and dual-basket models hold value best.
Does a scratched non-stick basket matter?
Yes. Once the coating flakes the basket needs replacing, and buyers treat that as an immediate cost.
Can I get rid of cooking smells before selling?
A soak in warm soapy water and a run with lemon water helps. Deep-set odour in the plastic housing is much harder to shift.
