To ask you to help me work out whether I need an airfryer or speedi?

It's totally bamboozling. I want to make life as simple as possible as I hate cooking but we are a family of five and need nutritious meals on the table daily.
We usually eat things like roast dinner, chicken, chips and veg or any meat, potatoes and veg or curry/pasta/jambalaya.

I'd like to use as few pots as possible in cooking. With a roast dinner it's all the pots and chaos that I can't stand, I love a one pot meal that's easy to chuck in and clear up.

I can't decide if I need a large airfryer that I can fit a roast or meat and veg in or a ninja speedi that does rice/pasta. Though cooking rice and pasta I don't mind as its just water in a pan!

I'm overwhelmed. Pleass help me work this out?!

Two drawer big ninja airfryer. My DSis and her family of 4 swear by it.

I have a Tefal 9 in 1 and love it. The rotisserie chickens are amazing!

I don't have a airfryer shaped gap on my work surface and don't feel one would improve my life/cooking. The food processor and microwave take up enough space.

Instead of a new applicance, you could just get one large roasting tin and a Rukmini Iyer The Roasting Tin book or two.

We have the Ninja Foodi Flexdrawer and absolutely love it. I wasn't convinced about airfryers until my sister got one and I'm so glad I got one. Use it daily.

I have the speedi - size wise I think you'd struggle for 5 of you.
I'd probably look at a large 2 drawer airfryer.

If you want everything in one pot, maybe you should be looking at a slow cooker rather? Or a couple of really large casserole style pots that can go in the oven or the stove and definitely more tray bakes.

Air fryers are amazing, but hard to do for big family meals without some fiddling.
