Should you buy the Ninja Air Fryer?
Ninja air fryers are popular because they are efficient, intuitive and high performing. Its line of air fryers are large and have good security system so you can cook with peace of mind. On the other hand the fryers are definitely on the pricier side, even for the smaller models you will be paying a higher price, which of course will impact the value of using an air fryer instead of your oven. But the model will last for a long time and if it is within your budget it is a good choice, you will also often find the air fryer on sale, which can help you save even more. There are plenty of models to choose from and it may be a bit overwhelming, but here is a rundown of the most popular Ninja air fryer models such as the popular Ninja Dual zone air fryer, the Ninja air fryer max xl and the Ninja grill air fryer.
Pros and Cons
+ Good range of sizes
+ Intuitive design
+ High Performing
– The premium price tag
– Not as many presets as other brands
Ninja Air Fryer Dual Zone AF300EU
The AF300 is one of the most popular Ninja air fryer models, and if you're looking for a big air fryer then this popular model from Ninja is a great choice as it has a capacity of 9,5 litres, although not the biggest one on the market it should be enough for up to four people, but you won't be able to cook a large chicken. A dual air fryer has two baskets so you can cook two dishes at once. You can even have different temperatures for each basket, between 40-230 degrees. The only downside is that it is a very large air fryer and takes up a lot of space.
Pros and Cons
+ Capacity of 9,5 liter
+ Cook two dishes at the same time at different temperatures
+ Dishwasher friendly
+ 6 different cooking settings
– Large and bulky
Ninja AF100
The Ninja AF100 is on the smaller side and probably more appropriate for a single person household, even then it may be a bit of a struggle as many recipes require food to be spaced on the flat surface to be evenly cooked, so bear this in mind when looking at smaller air fryers. That being said out of the Ninja air fryers this is the most affordable one and if you only use your air fryer for side dishes or one element of your meal then it might be the perfect choice for you, it also does not take up as much space as many of the larger models do.
Pros and Cons
+ 3.8 Litres capacity
+ Dishwasher Safe Components
+ Dehydrate and roast function
– Only 4 settings
– Expensive for the size
Ninja AG551EU Foodi Health Grill and Air Fryer
The Ninja Foodi grill and air fryer again on the smaller side, but it does have a grill function that can give an authentic chargrilled result. The design is a bit more akin to that of a small oven so it does end up taking up a bit more space on your countertop. With this air fryer you can air fry, bake, roast, reheat, dehydrate and grill, the grill settings are quite advanced giving you the perfectly cooked steak and fish. A big downside is that the price is quite steep for a small air fryer, the price hike being justified by the grill feature, so if this is your main selling point then this might be the air fryer for you.
Pros and Cons
+ Chargrilled results
+ 6 cooking functions
+ Max temperature: 260°C
– Only a capacity of 3.8 litres
– Expensive for the size
