Is a air fryer patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a air fryer have been patented many times, but "a air fryer" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 210 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “air fryer” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 200 best keyword matches we examined, 178 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2006.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: NINGBO CARELINE ELECTRIC APPLIANCE CO LTD (34), SHENZHEN CHENBEI TECH CO LTD (8), SEB SA (7), ZHEJIANG BIYI ELECTRIC APPLIANCE CO LTD (6).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): A47J (197), F24C (31), A23L (10), A21B (8).

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a air fryer been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Kitchen gadgets are a crowded, mature field; novelty usually sits in one specific mechanism, the material, or how two familiar functions are combined.
