My sister-in-law has a Ninja and loves it - uses it for all sorts
she is a proper old fashioned home cook so if she likes it it has to be good!

Ninja. Ironically I'd worked doing customer support in their call centre, never having seen one, let alone used one, so I had a very bad impression.
Now that I've actually used one (no idea which, they are much of a muchness), I have completely changed my mind. Turn it on, select the function and temperature, select the length of cooking time and you're away.
Much quieter than I expected too.

We have had 2 air fryers
First was a basic one - basket that you had to shake half way through
worked well but after a while, in spite of cleaning after every use - mostly in dishwasher - my wife started complaining about smells of stale fat whenever I used it - when I save "a while" I mean possibly 2 years or so
ended up only using it outside then gave up and chucked it
problems was easy to see - the air passage which takes the used hot air out of the fryer was coated in old fat - but couldn;t be cleaned because it was not accessible and the plastic bits around it were not removable.
next we got a Tefal air fryer - more expensive but stirred the contents as it went on - much more convenient and a bit better
same problem cropped up after about a year - probably because we were waiting for it - and same problem solving it - I could not get to the problem areas to clean them
In this case I had pretty much only cooked oven chips in it - whereas the previous one had been used for all sorts including raw veg with a "drizzle" of oil - I had been blaming the "drizzle" for the vaporised oil that had condensed in the exit passageway
in teh Tefal this was not true - the old fat had come from the actual food!
anyway - point was moot because the rear fan on it broke and it wasn;t worth trying to replace it because the "stale fat" problem was still going to be there
so now we have just gone back to using the oven
anyway - that is us
and - to be clear - my wife has a very sensitive sense of smell especially regarding fat and similar - so she is rather over sensitive compared to "normal " people

Top tip, you can buy what looks like a large bun case, a pack with a few in, it goes in the air fryer and makes cleaning a lot easier!

Lidl currently has a Salter twin drawer air fryer at £109. I think they also still do their own Silver Crest single drawer at £39.
Yes....that is my thinking.

Yep, we've got this one and it's great. Although now I've been using it for a while I agree with this.
What you lose in simplicity you gain in flexibility. I often end up having to use a pan or the oven as well as the air fryer when a two drawer one would let me do the lot.
Ninja do 2 x 2 drawer fryers but they are aboot 50mm too big for the cupboard ie fryer is 400mm and the cupboard is 350mm.
