Compare the top 3 deep fryers in Australia 2026

For most Australian households the Tefal Filtra Pro FR5181 at around $129 is the right buy: its patented oil-filtration keeps the oil cleaner for longer, which means less smell, fewer oil changes and a lower running cost over a year of Friday-night fish-and-chips. The 2300W element also recovers heat fast, so the second basket of chips cooks as crisply as the first.

If you cook for a crowd or want one pot that does more than fry, the Sunbeam DF4500 at about $66 is the value pick, 5L is the biggest capacity here, and it doubles as a multi-cooker for braising and slow-cooking. If you want set-and-forget presets and the cleanest frying experience, the Breville Smart Deep Fryer BDF500 at about $199 is the premium choice, with seven one-touch programs and Cool Zone technology that extends oil life.
