20 Best Oil Less Air Fryer (2022 Updated)

I had this a few years and then thew it out because it was such a hot mess. First,don’t use it close to anything. the issue isn’t what’s behind it but the heat from this itself melted the air fryer! I put it on my stove as I knew it wouldn’t damage paint or be accidentally touched by a towel or anything and multiple times it just melted itself.

Second, after a few uses the handle cracked. It was still usable but not great quality apparently. Lastly, the markings came off quickly and the little rubber protectors that hold up the shelf inside came right off and got lost.

I am not hard on my appliances but when I use them I expect them to perform in the intended function. This does air fry things but that’s the only thing it does right. Get a better quality from the start and save yourself.

I have a larger air fryer but it’s a pain to get it out all the time. I purchased this compact one to cook my frozen salmon patties I get from Costco since I eat one almost every day. This fryer is small enough to keep on the counter.

What I like the most is that I don’t have to reset the temperature every time like I have to on my old one. I set the dial at 400 and it stays there until I change it. I also like that the minute selector is a dial.

For my old one I had to press buttons to add or subtract minutes. the dial is much more efficient, although maybe not as precise. No big deal. Overall very pleased with the convenience, efficiency and cuteness of this fryer with no annoying button sounds, just a classic “ding” when it’s done.

Definitely made for making single portions. My first challenge was to find accessories that would fit inside. The Dash website does carry an accessory set that will fit inside their compact Air Fryer, but it was tough to find them, as the Dash web site was sold out, and the product descriptions had to be read very closely because Dash makes more than one kind of “compact” airfryer.

I finally tracked down the right set on Amazon at a reasonable price (one vendor wanted more for the accessories than the cost of the Air Fryer). I’ve enjoyed trying out various recipes, though I’ve learned that when making “baked” or breaded items, I need to cover them with foil for at least half the cooking time or I end up with very burnt tops or slightly charred coatings.

So far, I’ve made single servings of french-onion chicken breast, muffins, fries, salmon, a mini cake, a hasselback potato, reheated and crisped up roast beef hash, garlic toast, cinnamon bread and have more recipes to try.

So far cleaning the Air Fryer had been really easy. While it is supposed to be dishwasher safe, I’ve opted to handwash the main basket and insert, a really easy chore. It’s also easy to store with its compact footprint.

I recommend this Air Fryer as long you recognize it limitations. Eventually, I’ll get a bigger AirFryer, but for now, I’m getting alot of use out of my Dash Compact Air Fryer and having fun doing so.

I have been avoiding cooking some foods because I didn’t want to wait for my oven to pre heat, cook and then release all that leftover heat. Plus, I never got them quite right. I’m a newbie, I chose this model because I am familiar with the Ninja brand and watching the video it made sense to me.

I also liked the stream lined look. It just fit under the cupboards on my counter BTW. I made chicken wings last night with onion rings on top and set it for what I thought was a short time to pull the onion rings first.

They were burned to a crisp. Lesson learned. This appliance is a beast. The wings were even done! I now feel like I can make those fries, onion rings, tots without waiting an hour but I’ll cook them separately now.

I went crazy in the store buying things I wanted for ages, spring rolls, dumplings, wings, fish sticks, even salmon patties, this Ninja air fryer will make cooking so much easier. I can’t wait to make those fancy brussel sprouts.

Easy to use, timing will be a learning curve but this machine is patient. I did buy the coffee filter like liners for air fryers on A and they worked great to avoid clean up on messy stuff. With this new Ninja Air Fryer, my InstaPot and the new Oster toaster, bake, broil, etc.

counter top convection oven I bought I’m not replacing my microwave, it’s gone and I’ll make the space a shelf to hold other things and won’t be seeing my oven until Thanksgiving. These appliances are a game changer.

The payments plans make it all for my budget as well. The sale prices didn’t hurt either. ;-).

If you are looking for an Air Fryer get this! The brand is fine, take the risk and buy! If you want anything and I mean anything cooked and crispy in a ridiculously hyper quick speed buy an air fryer.

No oil is required to add to most foods, if needed a literal drop or two. The air cooking makes it almost comparable to frying. Literal 6-8 minutes for hash browns from frozen to hot and crispier and crunchier than McDonald’s.

Anything you want to make you can do it in the air fryer. You can bake a cake, dehydrate and cook a streak. All in a record breaking time. Exception is the dehydrating which takes 6 hours but worth waiting.

Only disadvantage is that the Australian consumers need to order a shelf direct from the manufacturer to enable more room for frying as it comes only with the base shelf that takes away the base of the air fryer so the product isn’t swimming in oil.

If you are planning on eating healthier and loosing weight anytime soon then this is not the product suitable for you at this time because the temptation is real and you would deprive yourself of much deliciousness.

I was looking for an air fryer that was efficient but not too pricey. This one was it. My main concern was how well it air fried chicken wings since that is why I bought it. After using it the for first time, it air fried the chicken wings perfectly.

They were crisp and cooked all the way through. You have to keep in mind that you need to toss around what you are cooking every few minutes. The guidebook was useful in determining the temperatures I needed to set it to.

However, the guide wasn’t that great in determining portion sizes. It says that you can add up to 3lbs of chicken wings, but I easily add up to 9lbs. With proper tossing 9lbs cooked perfectly every time I used it.

It also air fried chicken breasts nicely. The air fryer is easy to clean as the food pieces don’t stick to the sides or the bottom. Overall, this is a great air fryer.

What can i say about this thats bad? Its 4L capacity is awesome, no more cooking in batches! Anything you have ever had that was deep fried CAN be done in this with little to no oil. If you have meat in the oven and want roasted veg, put the veg in the air fryer and roast them! (I dont have many pans for the oven.

but i dont need them now!) reheat lastnights dinner for lunch. Even make your own potato chips. You know when you go to the store to buy chips but you have more oil on your hands than saudi arabia? NOT ANY MORE! The dehydration is really awesome especially for fruit.

Nothing like a good healthy snack without hurring up to eat it before it goes bad! (Nothing fancifies an adult drink with your friends like a thin 1/2 slice pinapple on your glass!) This entire unit is a win win on my opinion.

Why not treat yourself to a healthier option without missing out on your faves! Speaking of healthier options, you can cook fish in this bad boy too! Sooo good!.

Got as an early Christmas present. I like the different ways to cook on this air fryer. It’s quiet which is nice for my “loud ears”. Helps when you are cooking a whole meal and multiple things going on.

Soo, lots of people have talked about a plastic smell, and yes it is true. Pretty strong straight out of the box, which isn’t surprising when you think about it. Anyways I did a few different methods to get the plastic smell out of the air fryer and out of the house.

Yes I know. These worked for me; 1) Set it on as high as you can on any setting for 3 minutes and nothing inside do, it twice in a row. Afterwards put a bowl with a mixture of water, white vinegar, and a citrus of your choice.

Let it soak inside the fryer for a few hours at a time. Do that for a day or so. 2) You can also put the whole cooking dish and plates in a bowl of hot water, white vinegar, and an all natural soap that smells nice.

Then soak that for a while. 3) Just plain washing it through the dishwasher a couple times, do this before and after making food it in. Should be gone before you know it. Does that seem extra and a lot of time? Yes but definitely worth it if you want to keep the air fryer.

It works fast. I’m super looking forward to using the dehydration setting to make jerky soon and baking something. Will enjoy trying new recipes, something worth keeping if you don’t mind the cleaning out smell part lol.

Think that’s all. I can say for now.

As someone who is health-conscious, I’m always looking for ways to innovate my home cooking, but I’m also a creature of comfort. I love the taste of fried foods, and can’t completely give them up. My experiences with other air fryers had left me unimpressed, as it was too easy to under or over cook items.

The Vortex ClearCook solves this problem with a viewing window, eliminating guesswork. I am impressed with the speed at which it preheats, taking mere minutes to reach readiness. The size is more than adequate for my family of 6.

It was easy to use, and I appreciate that its cooking basket is easy to clean. In my experience, the foods came out evenly crisped and heated, and tasted so good, I wouldn’t have believed they weren’t traditionally fried if I hadn’t done it personally.

The Vortex Plus ClearCook from Instant has been a welcome addition to my kitchen appliances, and I consider it an essential piece of cookware.

I’ve only had the Cosori – Pro 5. 8 quart Air Fryer for a short time and I already love it. I’ve never owned an air fryer before , so I was quite skeptical as how the food would turn out. With grandkids in the house always wanting chicken nuggets and it 90 outside, I hated turning on the oven to bake them.

so I tried my new air fryer and to my surprise, everything turned out delicious. Nice and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like the kids like them and no heated up kitchen. I’ve also cooked other foods and everything turned out great.

I love the fact that it has so many pre-set buttons that take the guess work out. It’s easy to clean and you can cook a little at a time or a lot for the whole family with the large 5. 8 quart basket.

I’m so glad to have tried this air fryer and recommend to everyone. It’s very easy to use.

I have never air fried before. It is a learning curve on the techniques. After reading the instructions, I ran out to look for a oil spray bottle. I could not find one in stock so I used a regular sprayer from the dollar store.

I used veggie oil. Olive oil has the wrong smoking level. I thought it would be easiest to try frozen fries because they are inexpensive to experiment. After washing and drying the food resevoir, I sprayed the oil and dumped in the fries.

Ran it for a few minutes and the results were so-so. Obviously I needed a little more direction and watched some you tube videos. They were invaluable. Apparently I put in too many fries and didn’t shake the contents.

Avocado was recommended. My second try using the fryer was more successful. The results are not like McDonalds but are acceptable. I am going to try some other foods. The machine is easy to use and clean up.

You should keep it at least 6 inches from the wall to let the air circulate. So far I really like the fryer.

I have only just started using this Cosori Original Air Fryer but like it a lot so far. It’s very easy to clean, and I got some perforated parchment sheets online that will make it even easier. The first Cosori I bought was digital and did not work properly even though it was brand-new and un-used, in the original box with all the packing and paperwork.

I could not get a refund for it (the seller was not “approved” or some such excuse) so I am saving it for parts — the basket and heating unit are interchangeable with the Original so I will keep it on hand for future emergencies.

These units get great reviews and the Cosori facebook page has a lot of wonderful-sounding recipes, so hopefully my air fryer will last a long time and the extra parts won’t be needed.

I have owned at least 8 air fryers in my time. I don’t care for digital air fryers, too many beeps. Most were hard to clean or just too small. This air fryer is the best of them all. Easy to use, clean and the size is great.

I love the manual settings and the only beep you will hear is at the end of cooking. Love Love Love this baby! Plus it looks great on the counter.

We have owned this air fryer for 3 months and I’m amazed how much we use it. The fan is very loud but my husband always knows when I’m ready to try a new recipe. Made chicken kabobs today and they were delicious.

I love the fact that we can take our favorite recipes and change them into a healthy version that requires very little oil. If I ever have to replace it, I will buy the digital version, I think it would be easier to program.

No complaints, love our new appliance.

I have owned for a litte over two months now and use daily in the am for potatoes with my breakfast. Tots and hash browns turn out really, really perfect! I have making some meats, and reheating some food and all turned out really good as well.

Pizza got crispy bottom and foods were fully reheated, unlike with the microwave. I also tried the dehydrator function and as it did work pretty well but it is something that I need to play with a bit more and get the science down of that method.

The one thing that bugs me about this machine is the touch screen buttons are a bit finicky sometimes and need multiple attempts to push to change. It also isn’t terribly, annoyingly loud, compared to another air fryer I have used.

It’s not dead silent but I can run it without it being more than white background noise. All in all, I love this machine and think it works really well and would recommend to someone in the market for a multi-use machine.

I will say the app from them sucks as it doesn’t really give you much air fryer recipes and doesn’t really filter out the results too well. I really wish the machine came with some basic guideline recipes/times for the dehydrator and food but so it goes.

I bought it because I wanted to try air frying foods and I had some gift cards. 1) it’s VERY small. You cannot fit a whole chicken. (Costco bag of 3 whole chickens, not a single one fits) 2) Strong smell of plastic for the first several usages and it really permeates for a long time (days) 3) Buttons are rage inducing and completely non-deterministic.

You can tap it 10x and it might register once or twice. I find that if one button doesn’t want to be ‘pressed’, you can press another one and then go back to the original one. It seems to be caused by bad software, but hardware is possible too.

The most honest way to describe this item would be: Easy bake oven for adults. On the bright side, it warms up VERY quickly (up to 400F) and does a decent job at cooking and reheating certain things like frozen foods, fish filets, etc.

I use it mostly as a toaster oven for hash browns, occasional fries and fish filets. I did a comparison between my deep fryer and this item for fried chicken. Half the batch went in the oil and the other half in the Vortex air fryer.

The chicken in the deep fryer was perfect and delicious whereas the chicken in the air fryer was absolutely NOT crispy, took much longer to cook and the meat was dry. I feel like the marketing behind ‘Air Fryer’ is not based in reality and should be investigated for being misleading.

I really like the vortex plus. Not sure why there is a complaint about it’s overall quality. I have cooked roasts, pork loins and small chickens in half the time of a conventional oven. The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 5 is because of 4 specific reasons.

1) my biggest annoyance about this model is the obnoxiously loud and high pitched beeping sound (that makes my whole family cover their ears) when turning it on, setting the time and temp, the “ready for food” alert, the “almost done/check food” alert, and the “done” alert.

The fan is also very loud, sounds like a very loud microwave 2) you get 2 trays but can only use one at a time because it does not cook evenly. 3) unlike most other air fryers/ portable cookers, it needs to preheat so you have to put the tray, rotisserie basket or stick on an alternative surface while it preheats; very inconvenient, especially with raw meat.

The temp goes to high for preheat to put the food in first. 4) because it preheats first, getting the rotisserie basket or stick in place can be a challenge since it is so hot.

TLDR: air fryers are great, but the Instant Vortex should be avoided My wife and I really enjoy using our Instant Pot because it’s fast, convenient, has many options for type of cooking and is very well built, so when we decided to get an air fryer, the Instant Vortex was an easy pick.

However, we quickly learned that the Vortex is not the same kind of innovative and well made product we had come to expect. Out of the box, we were a bit disappointed to see that there were no sample recipes to try, unlike our Instant Pot.

Also, the power cord is fixed, rather than removable like on our Instant Pot which we appreciate because it makes it easier to store when not in use. The interface on the Vortex uses cheaper feeling capacitive buttons and the piano black and brushed black plastic finish doesn’t look nearly as nice as the brushed stainless finish on our Instant Pot.

The basket of the Vortex and the included grate are very thin sheet metal with a non-stick coating on them, while the Instant Pot includes a thick stainless steel pot. Initial impression was that the Instant Vortex might not even be made by Instant, it might just be a rebranded air fryer because the quality of the product was nothing like what you get with an Instant Pot.

For our first use of the Instant Vortex, we decided to make chicken wings and french fries at the same time, an ideal combo for this air fryer. Since the maximum temperature the Vortex will go to is 400 Fahrenheit but the fries required 450, we set the timer a bit longer than the stove cooking directions for the fries and keep an eye on them through the cooking process.

To our surprise the chicken wings and french fries cooked quicker than they would have in a stove and at a lower temperature. The fries were golden and crispy, and the wings cooked through and had a wonderful crunchy coating like you’d expect from an oil fryer.

After washing the basket and grate with a soft soapy brush and rinsing them, we placed the basket on our stove to dry before putting it back into the fryer. Our puppy decided to inspect the basket and knocked it off the stove, snapping the poorly constructed handle off.

My wife contacted Instant about getting a new handle but they informed me that no replacement parts were available for the Vortex, so they offered to sell her a new unit for a discounted price, which she did.

With our new Vortex, we noticed after about 20 uses that the non-stick coating on the grate was wearing off, which had us worried about consuming the Teflon coating, so we stopped using the grate. We again contacted Instant, this time to see about a replacement grate for our newer fryer and a handle so we could fix our older fryer so we could give it to my parents.

Once again we were informed that there were no replacement parts available for the Vortex, so Instant offered to send us a third Vortex for free. Our experience with our Instant Vortex has been very bitter-sweet.

Over the course of a year, we’ve gone through 3 units and while air-fried food is wonderfully crispy, fast cooking and healthier than traditionally fried foods, the Vortex itself is a very poorly built product.

My wife’s parents have a T-Fal Actifry which has worked well for them for a few years, and it has an agitator to continually stir the food during cooking so you don’t have to repeatedly shake the basket like you do on the Vortex.

We ended up selling the third Vortex that we got and will be putting that money towards a different air fryer, something better built.

So there is definitely was a difficult time in choosing an air fryer because as you know, there are so many to choose from. So many price variables and claims to what each fryer can do. In my case, I just wanted real crispy potatoes and real crispy chicken, along with my roasted vegetable that I have been doing in the oven for a while.

I also wanted something simple to use. I didn’t want to sit down and take a course in learning how to use the unit. This Instant Pot Air Fryer, push air fry, push time-adjust with dial, then push temp-adjust with dial and start.

That’s it. During the process it will beep to add food and beep part way through to remind you to stir the food. Simple and the results for me are very satisfying. So this machine is everything that I was searching for.

Perfect fries. For frozen fries, I don’t add anything and the results after 15-20 mins on 400 are amazing. For fresh potato fries, I will use a small amount of oil in a bowl to coat the potatoes and BOOM.

So I surely would recommend it. If this holds up anything like the pressure cookers, then this will be another solid item. I do have a toaster oven air fryer by Cuisinart and for those of you who are looking to which one is better, the instant air fryer makes it crispier.

The Cuisinart does hold more food I find. Instant fryer is much easier to clean than the other one. This is Rob approved.

This is the best airfryer! We purchased 3 airfryers in less than a year, but this one is a keeper! We had a smaller one, a different brand, which was okay but we wanted one that was shaped more like a countertop toaster oven.

We gave away our first one, and purchased a stainless steel one that sits on the counter and opens up like a little oven. Terrible idea and we immediately regretted that. We stuck with it because we had been through 2 in a short time, but about 6 months later I surprised my husband with this one for Christmas last year.

We still use it pretty much every day. It does take up a lot of counter space, so I make everyone put it up when they’re done with it. It cooks to perfection. There’s lots of room inside, and I can cook about half a bag of frozen fries at a time.

It’s super easy to clean, most stuff comes out with just a wipe of a paper towel but for the crusty stuff, I just hit it with warm water and a scrub brush and it just slides off. This air fryer is great quality, cooks everything perfectly, and is the best value for your money that you may find.

I bought this less than a month ago. When you first use an air fryer there is a smell to it. Honestly, the first use it had a smell then after that it was fine. It’s taller and slightly wider than my older ninja and it cooks well.

I started reading up on air fryers and a chemical they release that can increase our cancer risks but the chemical is also found in chips French fries basically anything cooked at high temperatures. So I will keep using ours.

I reheated left over dominos about two slices for 5 minutes using the reheat button and the pizza came out nicely. Also I love to make wings. 10 wings take about 24 minutes to cook we use decent size wings they’re called left wings and they come out good.

I like this air fryer and would recommend.

I’ve had the Breville Smart Toaster oven for many years and love it. I use it almost daily and unless I need to, I prefer to use it over my full size oven. I’ve also been wanting an air fryer, but have resisted getting yet another appliance.

I finally purchased this and I am so glad that I did. It has all the features of the regular Smart Oven, but with an added “super convection” setting that serves as the air fry setting. Using a friends stand-alone air fryer, I will say that this is not quite as good.

Fries still come out crisp, but the stand alone air fryer fries are a tad crisper. That being said, I am still loving this and have no regrets getting this instead of a stand alone air frier. I purchased some perforated parchment sheets to line the fry basket just to help with clean up, and that makes clean up a breeze.

If you already own a Breville oven, all the controls are the same, so there is no learning curve at all. There is just that one additional “air fry” setting added to the selection list.

As a product (and product range) the concept and convenience is excellent. I regularly amaze myself with what I can cook and reheat in the Ninja air fryer. This is the 5th one I’ve purchased for myself and family members, it’s so good.

My one concern is with durability/robustness. Obviously an electrical consumable like this has to be built to a tight price in the Far East and could lead to compromises in materials and components. Out of 5 purchased, 2 have failed, one just inside the 12 months warranty and annoyingly, one just outside the warranty by a month or so (they just died and I suspect high heat and a flaky component may have had something to do with it).

Ninja have however been very fair and honoured the warranty to include a model upgrade, and for the one outside the warranty gave me a voucher towards a new one. I upgraded to the Ninja Foodi Max which I have to say I find even more impressive and convenient than the air fryer (although it too air fries).

I was very sceptical before buying my first air fryer but having used the first one, despite its short life, our family wouldn’t want to be be without one now.

For just me and my wife this is perfect. Since we got it we have been using it everyday and not so much cooking happens on the cooker anymore. The amazing thing is we have cut out the oil thanks to this.

So when it comes to sunflower oil shortages we wont be panicking! I was initially after the Ninja AF160 which has a simillar design yet has more space. Id say if you are just 2 people or 1 then this is fine.

Meals are much easier to cook and dont take very long either. I have mainly just used the Air Fry function so far so cant really comment on Roast, Reheat, Dehydrate functions but nice to know I have that there if I ever need.

Also its nice small and compact fits perfectly in my small kitchen – any bigger and it would look odd. Very happy with this purchase and I’d recommend to anyone that is single or has a small family. One thing i noticed was the vent at the back left some residue on my tiles so always leave some room around it when in use!.

Pros: easy to use, works well, heats up fast, small machine, easy to care for and maintain, comes with a recipe book Cons: smells really strong for several uses The Magic Bullet Air Fryer is really nice! It’s very easy to use, easy to care for, and it works really well.

The instructions for this air fryer are really straightforward and easy to understand. Basically, you remove all the packing, hand wash and dry the crisping tray and the fry pot, then find a level surface for your unit.

Then you place the crisping tray inside of the fry pot. The crisping tray has little silicone feet on it, mine were not seated correctly when it first arrived and it’s really imperative to have them on correctly so you don’t mess up the non-stick coating.

It’s a snug fit when placing the crisping tray into the fry pot. Next, you are ready to cook. The first thing I did after cleaning and assembly was the optional running of the machine to reduce the new-machine smells.

This machine is extremely strong smelling and definitely needed the pre-running. As far as actually cooking in it, this machine is super easy to use. There is a dial for temperature and a dial for time.

Plus, it comes with a simple cookbook which is super nice. Preparing food and following the recipes are very easy. You can choose the temperature on the dial and then choose the appropriate time on the timer.

The timer can be used counter-clockwise to reduce the time until it auto-shuts off. This is a little harder to do than I thought it would be. There are two lights on the unit, the green when its on it indicates that the unit is heating up and it shuts off when it’s gotten up to temperature.

The orange light shows that the timer is set and running. When it goes down to zero, it shuts off. If you need to look at the food or flip it at any time, you can just pull the fry pot right out and take a look or flip it, then replace the fry pot.

Once the timer is done, you’re supposed to wait until you don’t hear the food frying then you’re ready to take it out (let it cool), and then eat. The entire process is very straightforward. Cleanup is really easy, once the machine is cooled down you just wash the fry pot and crisping tray by hand and let them dry, then replace back in the unit.

Wipe the outside with a damp cloth if necessary. The overall sound isn’t overly loud it sounds like a fan running with a timer ticking. The unit itself is pretty small, but the cord isn’t too short to fit nicely on my counter.

Plus, the machine looks nice just sitting there. All in all, this is a really nice air fryer! It’s very easy and straightforward to use, it looks nice, and it works well! I would absolutely recommend it!.

This is a product that does what it’s supposed to do flawlessly. The build quality seems decent and the unit is well put together. You can easliy lift the whole unit by the handle and move it around.

The size of the frying pan is pretty much comparable to other similar air fryers in the market. I could fry fry 8 average-size russet potatoes without hitting the recommended limit by the instructions.

For frying times, I wouldn’t totally count on the recommended times on the device, insteade, I suggest keeping your eyes on the food to prevent possible over-frying. Overall, the build quality seems good and it worked smoothly and without a problem.

* I would add that there’s been a concern regarding the release of some particles, especially the one relating to non-stick pans, in the market for air fryers. I recommend you do your research on the topic before committing to this type of frying.

Over the last couple years, I have been fortunate to use a variety of air fryers. From the bucket styles to the larger oven size. It really is true, things just taste better in the air fryer. For starters, the turn style knob on the front is a welcome change from all the other bucket fryers that all seem to be exactly the same.

It feels sturdy and long lasting. When it comes to cooking, the results were consistent. As long as you don’t over fill the bucket, it provides an even cook all around. My one negative (and this is consistent with most bucket fryers) is that you CAN NOT fill the bucket to the top with fries.

It simply does not cook them well, and definitely does not get them crunchy. Even though they love to post the full bucket picture on the box, I do not recommend it.

I looove air fryers and have had several. None have been especially better than the others. My only requirement is that they be large enough – 10 quart or greater. The last one I had was the Power Air Fryer XL.

It was excellent, but I would occasionally wish I had something that could cook two things at once but in different baskets. So, I bought this for that reason. And it is huge – takes up the entire portion of my small side counter next to the stove.

Take a look at the dimensions if you have a potential issue with the size. Anywho, the double basket feature is nice, but when I’m not cooking two separate things it really isn’t a benefit. I have a large family and some things, like fries, just form one big pile and I have to constantly shake the basket to ensure they cook evenly.

Yes, I could use the two baskets at once for one item, but then I’m cleaning two baskets and don’t always want to do that. Other issues I have is that it doesn’t pause cooking when you pull the basket out to check on the food – you have to press the control knob – never had to do that with any other air fryer.

Also, you have to press the control knob between almost every action. Other than those things, is a nice air fryer. Get parchment air fryer liners to save on cleanup and ruining the nonstick.

Bought this air fryer because of the great reviews and the dual baskets to air fry two items at once. Was a great air fryer! Easy to use buttons and looks nice. Ended up returning it for the xl verson though, as the baskets were a bit small on this one, especially if only doing one layer.

Now having tested both this one and the xl, the buttons and ease of use are better for this one than the xl, but fir me, the size of basket still won out of ease of use. Love how fast this cooks ans heats up as well! Also have used the instant brand air fryers, and although those are built very well too, they have this preheat and cool down mode that adds an extra few minutes on each end where the ninja seems almost instant for cooling and heating, which is great when I’m tired after a long day of work and just want to make a meal real quick in under 10 minutes.

One thing I dislike though is when cooking two baskets at once the power is reduced, so cook times do need to be slightly longer. If they had the same power rating as just cooking asingle basket at a time it would make this a 5 star unit.

Hope this helps someone on future purchases!.

I have always wanted to try an air fryer. Reading reviews about plastic smell/taste filling your food/home always stopped me from taking the leap. My mom bought me this one for Christmas. I watched a lot of YouTube videos before using.

A lot of people recommended doing a “dry run” on the air fryer before cooking food in it for the first time. 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes is supposed to burn off that plastic smell. I did it twice and didn’t feel like it worked (also, open your windows if you can) Next I tried the lemon juice vinegar trick.

Get two oven safe containers. Fill them both with 1/2 cup of white distilled vinegar and 1 TBS of lemon juice. Place one container in each side and run your air fryer for 10 minutes on 400 degrees. You may have to repeat the treatment.

I did it twice (washed everything in between treatments) The first thing I made was tater tots. Sprayed the basket with oil olive and cooked according to package instructions. Was not disappointed. I got crispy tots that did not taste/smell like plastic.

They did not stick to the bottom either! A few days later I successfully made popcorn shrimp and corn dogs. 75 shrimp pieces fit on side one, and four corn dogs fit into side two. No bad smells or tastes! Don’t let those other reviews scare you.

The treatment really works. Best Christmas gift ever.

Since buying the Ninja AF100UK for use at home by just two of us, we have used it just about every day…. more than once some days. Bacon, sausage, pork loin joint, chicken thighs all turned out fantastic.

My only disappointment was a pizza which turned out too well done on top with an only just cooked base. BUT… that may have been my fault for just guessing heat settings. I was genuinely surprised at how easy the grill tray and pan wash clean with just a quick soak and wipe in hot soapy water.

I can’t tell a lie, if we had more space to store a larger Air Fryer, I would definitely have gone for the double drawer unit but on most days, with only two of us two feed, we coped just fine. No negatives at all from me.

We bought the fryer direct from Ninja for £89. 99 and that included a free apron and free shipping. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

This here. is my new addiction! I didnt understand the whole deal with people and airfryers but now I do. Even my partner loves his food cooked in this. It cooks practically everything. There are 4 options on it.

air fryer, reheating, roasting and dehydrating. I have only tried airfrying to be honest lol I am slowly getting curious about the dehydrating options. For airfrying, I cook everything at 350f and shake the basket every 5 minutes.

All the food I use to fry, is perfectly cooked and crispy this way. I cooked seafood, bread, pastries, fries, vegetables, pizza, wings, ham, turkey and am trying and testing every possibility. This is perfect for anyone from a student to a great cook! It cuts down on electricity usage, calories, grease, time and your own energy.

Very smart gadget and cooks food well HOWEVER, did not complete test run as no onscreen messages saying to add or turn food as per user guide and visual display different. Suspect this might have been an older model! Now out of stock.

If I manage to get a replacement that works as it should, I will be delighted as really like the appearance and results.

What a game changer this product is, the internal light and clear front window means that you dont need to keep opening the drawer. the capacity is perfect for a family of four. It seems a lot quieter as well than the old air fryer we had and the pre sets seem perfect for most dishes.

Really happy five stars.

Really like this and the model I have does bleep when need to turn food. it also has a great light to see how food is doing and has other cooking functions that means you don’t need to put on a big oven for a little bit of food!!! makes wonderful crispy veg and chips and fish.

just takes time to work out how long. could have done with a recipe book! However have found good air fryer online videos to look at.

It was awesome the first time we used it. We cooked chicken wings and they were amazing. When we were done, it cleaned up fairly easy and we were really excited to use it again, however there was an awful burnt plastic smell that filled the house.

I chalked it up to burning off the new BUT, when we used it the next night, no power, no fan, absolutely nothing. Plugged it into several different outlets and let it sit for a while to see if it would come on.

Still nothing. After looking it over my wife made notice that the face plate was all digital and since it wasn’t getting power, there’s nothing you could troubleshoot. So you take the good with the bad.

I returned it with no problem. I’m sure we’ll buy another air fryer but we’re definitely gonna research it a little more.

It’s cute my last one was larger and more expensive (dif brand) lasted 3yrs? Thought I might like this one better because it will take up less space on the counter. glad I got half off cause it’s prob not going to last long.

Door is wonky to close and basket is thin material. On the fence if I should keep it. It doesn’t seem to get very hot and the highest temp to cook is 400. The other day did fresh fries came out pretty good seems to take longer than my old unit.

Tonight did fresh zucchini and barely browned & just got mushy. Haven’t tried cooking raw meat yet. Wondering if the temp is not working right & don’t want to ruin dinner. I would say if you’re going to cook for more than two people get a bigger unit because this one will take forever to do a family meal in batches.

I have been wanting an air fryer but was waiting to get a good deal, well I scored a GREAT deal this Black Friday. I couldn’t wait to get it home to start using it. My 1st meal was a marinated s salmon filet with French fries.

The food came out PERFECT! The fries were so crispy and tasty and the salmon was so moist and delicious! I was amazed how fast it cooked and all the calories I saved without having to use oil. Oh and cleaning up was a snap! I can’t wait to make dinner tonight.

I hope it lasts longer then some of the reviews I have read.
