Looking at a 9.5L double type one. But what’s the difference between any of them and the letter names?

bump as clueless and need to get one today as switching the oven on to make baby food seems rediculous!

I have an AF500. The reason I went for this one is because it has the flexi drawer meaning you can use it as 2 separate compartments or one large compartment. I love it and it is big enough to cook a medium sized chicken with veg etc.

I had the Ninja Maxi with a large single basket then upgraded to a Ninja Stack with two slightly smaller drawers on top of each other. As it also comes with two grills, I can now cook four different items at a time, at two different temps.

The downside is that as the heating fans are at the back rather than the top, the cooking time is a bit slower and the front part cooks quicker than the back hence a lot of shaking! But I got used to that and love using it to do a full meal - did salmon, smashed new potatoes, corn on the cob and sautéed mushrooms for tea last night.

It is also much easier to clean the fan area than in a regular AF where the fan is at the top. You do need to check that it fits underneath any kitchen cupboards as obviously it is tall.

Oh thanks both I’ll take a look. I am completely new to this and didn’t know there weee so many options!

The options are just clever marketing. We don’t need 101 different variations of the ninja,
but they’re trying to convince us that we do!

Most people only use the temp & the time buttons.

@CrazyCatMam which one do I want if I want one of the bigger dual zone ones?

I picked up my ninja airfryer on fb marketplace - so worth having a look on there.

For going off to college I bought my daughter a dual air fryer by Salter - way cheaper than ninja and no complaints.

From what I can tell with the ninja pull out drawer ones - they all do the same thing. Some are stacked one on top of the other, some side by side.
