Does Delonghi air fryers have PFAS?
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
We graded 8 Delonghi air fryers products, averaging Bad (15/100). None of them grade Good or better. Against the other 29 air fryers brands we grade, where the middle brand sits at 15/100, Delonghi is about typical, scoring above 36% of them.
Graded and flagged Poor and Bad, we’d swap these
