Product Information

Choose from Superman, Groot, Minions, and Batman, alongside characters from the likes of Harry Potter and Stranger Things. It is pretty bulky and wants putting away when not in use, but it’s the second cheapest on this list and it’s a worthy investment. The functions are a little awkward: even with the instructions, I struggled to find the compartment you have to fill with water (it’s on top, by the way). They seem to be selling out everywhere, with big brands Ninja, Philips and Gourmia now as rare as gold dust.

Guided Cooking Prompts offer the option to preheat the air fryer and enable the Turn Food Reminder, giving you the freedom to use the settings needed to get the perfect result every time.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother doing fresh chips because frozen ones are perfect for the job and suit the air fryer way of cooking perfectly, without the clonk. The chips it produced definitely couldn’t be described as crispy, and during cooking it was loud and rattly.

Its controls are clear and responsive, the machine is stable in use, and it’s effortless to clean thanks to a trusty non-stick coating. I found fish fingers were quick to cook too: a moderate 180°C for 15 minutes more than enough to whip up tea for my ‘hangry’ kids when I was in a hurry.This temperature probe took all the guesswork out of it and by the time the chicken had reached 75 degrees, it had crispy skin and was succulent and juicy on the inside. We were looking for tasty, healthy, appetising results (everything took a little experimentation to get right) but we also wanted to see how easy each machine is to use, how much space it takes up, how much it costs to run and how easy it is to clean. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, though slightly dry (the downside to most air fryers). Never touch the main unit and the connecting cable with wet hands when the device is connected to the mains power. It’s essentially air frying on steroids, wedging the grill plate between steam from the bottom and air frying on top to cook meals even quicker.

We liked this model so much, that we’re adding it straight into our top 10 of recommended air fryers currently available in the UK. We recommend no fewer than four Ninja air fryers and, in some ways, that would be enough to cover the whole market. After it has cooled down, clean the device and the accessories (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter). Some recipes may even need no oil at all, but it’s always worth a few light sprays to prevent food from drying.
