The Fuss with Instant Pot vs Ninja Foodie/Dual?

[Nachtvlinder]

I'm posting here for traffic, so don't mind me...

I can't decide on what I want to buy; mostly will be needing to do pressurised stuff for stews, soups, sauces and also would like to have an airfryer option as I've never had to use one before. Have had a long look at various models and there's a split between the Ninja and Instant Pot. I can't make up my mind as there's conflict about the airfryer function not being big enough to put a chicken in or enough food for 4 people, or it doesn't crisp very well.

What do most people do? Cook in batches and then put it in a warm oven to keep warm which defeats the object really for moneysaving on fuel. Do you have both the pressure cooker and the airfryer separate? I don't have much worktop space for both and it might be too costly. My budget will be £150-£200. I'm not the most cleverest in dealing with lots of buttons and an exhaustive list of instructions.

Thanks.

I have an instant pot and an airfryer. I don't think the instant pot works as well as a dedicated air fryer.

I have the instant pot Pro crisp and find it does everything I want it to. The pressure cooker was the thing I really wanted, but I do use the air frier too, it's really simple to use. I did cottage pie in minutes by cooking the mince with the potatoes on the trivet and then swapped lids to grill the cheese on top, loads simpler than the oven and hob.

We have separate appliances , for us the instant pot crisp lid is no better than popping under a hot grill - I want to be able to make fries , goujons etc so we have an actifry

I have a Berg pressure cooker and it cooks stews in 15 minutes, on ( p2 ) pressure settings of which there are 5 I think!)) where I discovered that by switching it off and off again at the plug, after its finished cooking and leave it for about 5 hours, it continues to cook like a slow cooker but releases its own pressure slowly.

I batch cook 5 meals, mostly stews with mixed veg, home made gravy and about 2" chorizo....... its delicious and cost effective too.

The ninja foodie is fine for an element of a meal air fried. We're a family of 4 with decent appetites so I could do potato wedges but not the chicken goujons too for e.g. I really like it for making things like stews and bolognese as you can brown the meat and saute before slow cooking or pressure cooking.
