Air Fryers

[MamaMiaOhDear]

I'm very late to the party I know haha but I'm planning to invest in an air fryer on payday.

Is buying a Ninja branded one worth it? Or is there a cheaper alternative?

I'm looking at a dual option one big enough for meals for 4.

You could find those that fit the bill on Amazon, & check the reviews for them.

I get the sense that the branded ones are not necessarily better, especially if you really just want the air fryer rather than multi cook option.

However, my top tip is that even if you buy online, go and look at some in person. The different sized drawers/options can be very difficult to fully understand when you're looking online and so you need to see them in person and get a sense of how YOU would personally use it. eg I have very limited space so wanted a relatively small one. But when I looked at them, I realised the slightly bigger single drawer would be the best option for me. SIL has gone for a bigger one but with two drawers, both slightly smaller than my single drawer. If I had the space, I'd probably have gone for a larger, single drawer one so that I could use it more for things like a whole roast chicken etc. But none of that was obvious when I looked online.

If you want a Ninja, keep an eye out as they seem to often be on sale in various places. So pick a couple on Amazon or John Lewis or whatever and then watch the price for a bit.

Have a look at the Instant range. We have one and it's pretty good. Not the dual one, though.

Bear in mind that they take up a lot of space.

We got one for £100 from Costco with 2 drawers and it's brilliant

Amazing thanks everyone!

I got a Tower air fryer, very pleased with it, use it all the time. I started saving for a double drawer ninja very slowly, tenner a month, and have now decided not to get one as the Tower does what I need
