Best Air Fryer

[Octopus45]

I know this has been done to death, but I'm looking to get a new air fryer. Currently have a one drawer Tower one which is rubbish. Looking to maybe get a Ninja two drawer 9 litre one, but was wondering whether any of the other slightly cheaper brands are as good.

I can't speak to others but my Ninja is brilliant - my mam has the two drawer one and I have the bog standard. Honestly, they are worth it. Maybe have a look on eBay if the price point is a bit high?

I think it depends. We swapped out our one drawer tower one for a Ninja after finding that air cookers were great for whamming some chicken nuggets in etc. and it saved turning the oven on. Admittedly the tower one was basic, and only cost around £30, it just air cooked (you turn a dial for the minutes and off it went) the Ninja was about £150. Admittedly, the Ninja looks a lot better, is bigger, has all sorts of functions, electronic timer, temperature control, different options so can grill (not very successful), slow dry (to get say, dried mushrooms), I think it might even pressure cook (not tried). But the reason I say "it depends" is because we are still using it like we did the tower one, i.e. to wham some chicken nuggets or similar in. If you love all sorts of different cooking, then I am sure the Ninja (or something else) would be far better, but for me personally, I haven't really thought the Ninja was worth the extra cost, given the functionality I required. I only got it because I had some vouchers from work, and whereas I have no moans about it at all, I am not sure it would be money well spent if I hadn't effectively got it for free.
