The Gadget Guru on Air Fryers and AI

This time on the Gadget Guru, Ian Ellery takes a look at a few new devices and the latest tech news. One of the most sought-after gadgets of the last few years isn’t a wearable, a screen, or a computer. It’s the air fryer. The air fryer industry is expected to be worth $1.26 billion in 2025. If you’ve been thinking of getting one, the variety can be dizzying. We’ll hear a review of a new model.

After pledging to spend $80 billion in the United States, Microsoft appears to be backing away from AI. The company is pulling back on building data centres. Data centres take time, so Microsoft is likely signalling long-term plans. This could also be a reaction to the Chinese AI app DeepSeek, which seemingly accomplishes much more calculation with far less server load.

Plus, would you ever need a toothbrush sanitiser? Ian never thought so, until he gave one a try, and it has him smiling. Listen to the Gadget Guru's whole segment here.
