Anyone got one?
I want the biggest deluxe version but not sure if they do different things so may not be as simple as getting the one with the biggest price tag.
Anyone have experience with these things? They come very highly recommended.

Not got a ninja but bought an air fryer off Amazon. Got to say the best thing I have bought for a long time. Massive reduction in cooking time's so less electricity used. We have one that has racks as opposed to a basket so we use it almost like a mini oven. It came with a spit so chickens and pork joints done in around half the cooking time as a conventional oven. Personally would look for ones with a rack s that you can cook multiple things at the same time. Hardly used the oven since getting it. |  | | |

I have an air fryer, not the Ninja you are looking at, and I can't remember the last time we used it, I have only cooked chips in it but prefer oven chips. Take a good look at what you can cook in them and see if it works for you, it didn't for me. |  | | |

Can’t help with that brand, but our Tefal air frier is very good at what it does, good chips with very little oil.
To me the paddle idea to turn items is the way, mates got one that you have to remove basket & manually move items………pain!
Get one & let us all know, but a couple of months in please. | | | |

Most reviews say similar to Scotblue inasmuch as they use it all the time and rarely use the oven now. Problem is that the reviews seem to be of different models but on the same thread.
I'm a bit nervous about buying the wrong one for what I want, hence the post.
I want something to do multi food types in one go rather than a bulk load of one food type.
Basically it's for my northern man cave so needs to be multi purpose. | |

Mine is a single compartment model, some have two smaller compartments and some have a rack to allow you to cook more than one item. This is the essential part as we have to run the oven as well as the air fryer. My non use may have more to do with this than how air fryers perform. | | | |

Agreed Lord Lucan as mentioned we have racks in ours so that you can cook multiple items. Would be wary of just having a basket as I belive you could only cook 1 food item a time.
This is our model although I luckily got a discount as it was a return although came as brand new.

My Tefal version is sitting next to the waffle maker, breville toasted sandwich maker, bread maker and smoothie maker. Really must dust them |  |

One of the best gadgets I have ever bought. It can cook almost anything, saves time, energy and there is less washing up. Buy it. |  | | |

ours gets used a lot, on stuff thats microwavable, stuff that would have gone in the oven, especially if its for just one person. it's useful, not sat with the Brevile sandwich toaster, Sodastream, or even the George Foreman, that still gets a yearly run out! | | | |

We have 2 Ninja's. We never use the oven anymore.
1 which has 11 functions including a pressure cooker and another which has 2 independent drawers.
We have the 2 different ones as it allows us to do full meals. The one with the pressure cooker can also do pasta bakes, etc. The 2 drawers one means we can cook 2 things at different temperatures for different times and they finish at the same time.
Look at the functions and what you want to use it for and that should help decide | | | |

Was looking at getting one quite recently but i read one reviewer saying they were a bit on the noisy side. I have an open plan kitchen/living area and it kind of put me off a bit. |  |

Gat a Tefal brilliant bit of kit does all sorts even toasties at only 40% of conventional oven energy . | | | |

We have had an air frier for 5 or 6 years now. I can't remember the brand of the first one we had, but it worked well for a few years until the handle busted and we replaced it with a halogen light cooker. That was a mistake and we sold it and replaced it with the cosori air fryer.
We used the Cosori so much we got another air frier with different functions, the Ninja 11 in 1.
A roast chicken done in the ninja is absolutely awesome. 180c for about an hour for a 2kg bird (although you do need to turn it over halfway though cooking). Honestly the best roast chicken I have had. |  | | |

No idea about Ninja but I have a Tower one that's amazing. I use it at least once a day. Cooks things very quickly. When doing things like 'chips' I prefer them without any oil and it cooks them up well. |  |

I bought the 9 in 1 7.5L model 2 days ago and arrived this morning. Not tried it yet though. PM me if you are going to buy one, might be able to get you a discount. | | | |

Air fryer not comparing to deep fried shocker. Honestly, what complete and utter garbage that is. It's like buying a bike and then complaining it's not a car. | |

Got a Ninja. It's brilliant for cooking relatively small amounts of food.
The one thing it is not particularly good.at is.frying, nothing beats oil for frying in
For baking, grilling and roasting it is superb for small quantities. I takes so mu h less time than an oven to heat up that it saves a lot of electricity.
Wouldn't be without mine, but do miss properly deep fried food. |  |

Our gas oven broke a couple of months before we were due to move to a house with an in-built oven. We bought a Nija Foodi Grill which has an air fryer basket but also a big ridged lump of metal that you can put in, preheat, and use to cook steaks etc.
It has been a great buy. There is now a larger version available, and an option for a built in probe thermometer, which should guarantee perfect results with meat.
Take Jay Rayner's chip on his shoulder with a pinch of salt. He complains of the bacon being pink and flabby. Well put it back in for another couple of minutes then, you daft twot! And as for the chips: if you expect the best chip shop chips ever- no chance. But if you just want to quickly cook one or two portions of oven chips quickly and cheaply, then this is the way to go.
Ninja have just launched onto the US market, a new version of the grill, rated for outdoor use, with an added smoke chip box. That will revolutionise home grilling/smoking/barbecue. I'll be following the reviews and early adopter videos from the US. There is already a similar concept from Bradley smokers, amongst others, but the multifunctionality and chain store penetrative of the Ninja brand means it will be well placed to win out. | | | |

Got a dual Ninja after advice on here about a year ago. Does fantastic bacon, sausages etc both veggie and meat versions with minimal mess.
It’s going to be used a great deal more now the energy prices have gone up.
Not very successful with vegetables but think we got in a bit of a mix up with the timings.
Used it to great effect at Christmas last year in conjunction with the oven when feeding the masses.
Big thumbs up from family SSB old fruit. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

The name air fryer suggests it does frying though. Can understand people complaining if it's not good at err... frying. |  |

Yes. I have the one with two compartments and, within its limitations, it is a time and money saver. |  |

And it does fry. Anyone buying it expecting to produce the same results as deep frying is an idiot. | |

Get the mini over instead, same principle but more versatile. |  |

I've got the af400uk and really like it. Much better than the tefal one I had years ago and having the dual baskets is pretty handy.
I must be a better cook than Jay Rayner because I've made some pretty tasty chips in it too, certainly way better than oven chips. |  | | |
