Air fryer which one to buy?

So, family of 3 in the hols from uni but just the 2 of us most of the time. We are not veggie but like veggie meals a few times per week. I cook from scratch mostly.

I cook a lot of stove top meals and like one pan roasting tin meals.

Would like to buy a compact air fryer that would help us speed up weekday meals, avoid ovened chips (ie my own chips cooked in the oven) and maybe do roast potatoes.

Where should I start ?

NB do not own microwave or slow cooker

Had a Lakeland one over two years. Have replaced removable bases. Came out best buy at the time. It cooks a whole small chicken , a ham. Found chips too dry until I put them in a silicone basket which helps a bit. The fan oven on the cooker is no better though.

We rarely use our cooker now.

Without a doubt get a 2 drawer, as it's mainly the 2 of you! It's far more versatile, in that you can cook 2 different things at once.
I have a Ninja, as do my 2 daughters. Eldest dd had a Tower before but much prefers the Ninja. Personally I think they are well worth the extra money as the build quality is good. It's so easy to programme and use, I really can't fault it.
