Black Friday will soon be upon us. Many of you may be looking for Black Friday deals on countertop appliances that can sky-fry everything from French fries to chicken wings to Brussels sprouts. Ninja fans may be looking for Black Friday deals on Ninja Foodies.

You can also do much more than air fry, including baking, toasting, and even roasting, if you choose to buy one of the best toaster ovens. However, there are important things to consider before purchasing the first toaster oven you find on Black Friday.

As someone who has tried air fryers of all shapes and sizes over the years, I can tell you that the most important factor is size. Whatever you do, don't choose the largest air fryer possible just to save money.

Toaster ovens are naturally more expensive and most likely to cut back. However, this larger, more versatile product is not for everyone. Pros and cons of buying a toaster oven include:

Depending on your situation, a toaster oven may suit your needs. However, if you think an air fryer will suffice, don't go ahead and purchase a toaster oven based solely on the price on sale. Instead, wait for a toaster oven that is the ideal size for you.

The size advice also applies to air fryers: compact models like the Dash Compact Air Fryer are for one or two people, while larger models like the Philips Premium Airfryer XXL are for larger families. Be sure to buy only the size you need. Otherwise, you will end up storing larger fixtures, which will take longer to clean.

Good luck finding the perfect air fryer or toaster oven among the Black Friday deals. Here are some of the deals we've found so far:
