Best air fryer

Can you please recommend what air fryer you use as there is so much choice and despite googling I’m no further forward. I was leaning towards a ninja model or Tefal but the Tefal doesn’t have a reheat mode. I am on my own but I wouldn’t want a tiny one, maybe something 4 litres upwards. Anyway suggestions greatly appreciated.

I would go for the Ninja double drawer airfryer. I love mine it's great so easy and quick to use.

I have the larger Ninja double drawer model. I use my gas oven to batch cook at the weekend, and then husband puts a lasagne, pie, fishcakes or whatever for dinner. You can just use one drawer.

Or he might use the other drawer for some homemade chips or garlic bread. You can have both sides set at different temps and timings, and set so both are ready at the same time.

I’ve recently bought the Ninja dual air fryer and whilst I love it I do find it difficult to programme.

@Cynderella could you explain to me how to set the time on it? I have been waiting until the time flashes up and then pressing the - key to reduce from the default but usually what happens is the temp reduces instead. It’s driving me crackers and the instruction manual is hopeless and doesn’t explain how to do it!

Another Ninja Dual Lover User here.

There are two versions of the double drawer model afaik- we have the bigger one and it’s a whopper, but the smaller version would work.

The two drawers are fab- meat in one drawer, side in the other, ready at the same time with minimal fuss.

@Katrinawaves when you turn it on and press what drawer you want (eg 1) then pick airfry - then adjust temp on left and time on right then press start. If you want to cool something in the right drawer you follow the same process selecting drawer 2. Does that make sense?

Love ninja two drawer - we have 9.5 (2 adults and 2 kids) but I’d say 7.5 might be enough for you

I'm loving the ninja 10 in 1 speedi. It's so much more than just an airfryer. I've only had it a few weeks and it does everything !

Ummmm .... I'd have to stand in front of it to tell you, but you should be able to set both time and temp. If you set those for drawer 1, you can tap MATCH and both drawers will cook same times/temps. Or you can set each drawer differently, and then SYNC, so they finish together.

Have a look on youtube - does help?

Ninja 2 drawer. Game changer.

GigiAnnna · 12/12/2023 22:51

I've got the Ninja with 2 drawers. Think it's called Ninja Foodi. I love it.

Thosepurpleberries · 12/12/2023 22:54

We got the Tefal Xxl recently and it's great. Not life changing but really handy for cooking smaller portions and eg roast broccoli is so much better in it. Quick too for things like baked potatoes and sausages.

Thanks, it seems best to go for the ninja dual air fryer. I think the 9.5l may be a bit big so definitely leaning towards the 7.5l. Thanks for the help.

I think I’ve got a different model unfortunately. Mine is this one. Does anyone have the same one and is able to help please?
