Russell Hobbs air fryers average Bad on our four-band scale. None of them clear our buy threshold. That is above 81% of the air fryers brands we grade.

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.

What Russell Hobbs says and does about PFAS

Russell Hobbs does not say what the non-stick coating on its UK and European air fryers is made of. The pages for the SatisFry and Express models we grade call the baskets and plates non-stick coated and stop there. Its Australian site does describe one newer dual-basket model as having PFAS-free plates and baskets, which is the company’s own claim for that model only.

  • MaterialsThe UK page for the SatisFry Dual Basket 9L says its crisping and grill plates are non-stick coated, without naming the coating. Russell Hobbs UK ↗
  • MaterialsThe page for the Express Air Fry Mini Oven uses the same wording and names no coating. Russell Hobbs UK ↗
  • MaterialsThe European page for the SatisFry Air & Grill says its grill plate coating is three times more durable than the brand’s standard coatings, again without saying what it is. Russell Hobbs Europe ↗
  • Brand statementRussell Hobbs Australia describes the removable plates and baskets of its SatisFry 9L Dual Basket air fryer (RHAF2768) as PFAS-free. Russell Hobbs Australia ↗
  • MaterialsAn Australian manual for a discontinued Russell Hobbs air fry toaster oven describes its crumb tray as having a PTFE and PFOA free ceramic non-stick coating. Russell Hobbs manual ↗
