Anybody on here use one, and what are your thoughts on them ? I heard it’s basically the same as an oven but quicker and healthier than frying. Ninja seem to have the best reviews. Doing some research before potentially buying one. ---

I recently bought one and am very happy with the purchase. As you said it’s basically an oven replacer. I would say it’s a bit better I would say and also a lot faster. Preheating happens in ~2 minutes and you’re good to go, and it’s big enough. I got the Cosori, it even has an app so you can control it from your phone and it give you notifications with the status.

We have, and are super happy with, one of these. > **[Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer \[AF400UK\] 2 Drawers, 6 Cooking Functions,...](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ninja-AF400UK-Drawers-Cooking-Functions/dp/B09BZR9JFG)** > > Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Buy Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer \[AF400UK\] 2 Drawers, 6 Cooking Functions, 9.5L, Black at Amazon UK. Main benefit for us is speed and convenience. Our oven is so old and slow it takes a good 30 mins to get up to temperature. The air fryer is good to go in literally minutes and cooks things great while using a lot less energy (much smaller cavity to heat up). ---

Good for you. We must have gone too cheap, ours was about half the Ninja cost. R- ---

We’ve a ninja duel as well, highly recommend it. I think we use it more than the oven these days… ---

I use one _sometimes_. I’ve only got a small cheap one, all they do is blow hot air so don’t go wild with it. Favourite of mine is to cut up some carrot and potatoes and throw them in there. Sometimes I don’t bother with the oil. Surprisingly a great way to cook or reheat things like pastry based products. Though by far my favourite feature is when you reheat left over pizza with it, comes out divine after a minute or two. ---

We have a Tefal Actifry 2in1 and it’s amazing. We always do things like sausages and roasties/chips in it now ---

Do roasties come out crispy and fluffy? ---

Honestly I’ve made the best roasties in the air fryer, much easier to control the amount of fat over them, get them nice and soft on the inside from a parboil and then bake/roast in the Ninja and they come out perfectly crispy 😌 ---

Given that this thread is quite old now, does anyone still use an air fryer after having one for eight months? We are thinking about getting one, but don’t want to spend money on something which sits in a cupboard. ---
