Hi everyone šŸ™‚

I’m looking to get one of the above to try and both myself and family to cook from scratch a bit more often but after reading reviews etc I can’t decide on which would seem to be the best.

Anyone who has one feel free to tell me the pros and cons etc and any other brand suggestions much appreciated.

Thank you šŸ™‚

We have a ninja foodie. Bought from AO for 200 but with a 20 discount. We were looking for a slow cooker and air fryer, so it didnt cost much more.

Its amazing but its huge!

We love the crispy potatoes with minimal oil, scotch eggs with no oil, and today I have pressure cooked lamb leg which would have taken 7 hours in 2. I think the yoghurt function looks good but takes forever, not sure we will use that. Dehydrate we will try with apples one day when we get a glut of them from the trees. I doubt Ill ever cook a whole meal in it, but its great for various functions and especially for the two functions we wanted it for.

But, as I mentioned before, its huge.

I was edging towards the Ninja Foodie because of the air fryer function as I’ve read the others can’t achieve the crispness - coincidentally mil bought one yesterday so I might see how she finds it šŸ™‚

Can you cook two things at once ie. rice and a meat or fish dish?

I dont know, Im afraid. Its not what weve bought it to do. I may get around to playing sometime and checking that out.

Last night we had boiled potatoes ans had some left over. I added a little oil and pepper and air crisped them tonight and they were great. Like mini roasties!
