    A real miracle worker, must be our best ever purchase.

    5/5
    Having pancreas problems I have been placed on a very low fat diet (<5%). I have never like just boiled potatoes & veg and was beginning to dread dinner. Cooking and food had become rather miserable. But this air fryer is a miracle worker. Also as we face a winter energy crisis and huge fuel bills, you can save loads of energy (and money) by using this air fryer rather than your conventional oven and hob. Important to note is this gets very hot very quickly so reduce cooking temperatures by 10 degrees centigrade, and at first check often - it is much quicker than you expect. This is a great size for 4 portions, more than that in your family, get the bigger model. We now use this for cooking my meals with minimum or no fat at all. It makes 'naked oven chips' taste almost like the real deal. We now also cook a lot of meals for the family, using this. We can do 4 portions of shop bought oven chips, from frozen, in 10 to 15 minutes, and home cut chips in 20. Roasted potatoes for 4, with only 1 small desert spoon of avocado oil (recommended because of its high smoking temperature), came out amazing , and similarly roasted veg for 4 - and what is really special is that I can now eat with the family, and they like the low fat food I am eating, in fact they just don't notice it is low fat. We read loads of reviews in advance, and have since watched lots of online content of others using Air Fryers to really work out how to use this to the maximum, and we have now massively expanded our cooking using this. We have purchased (online) an inner rack, and a silicon cake tin for a few pounds, which has really expanded what this air fryer can do. For example, add 8 sliced carrots on the extra rack - and start cooking at 210 degrees. After 5 mins, reduce to 200 degrees, and add 4 portions of (par-cooked) frozen naked oven chips in the bottom of the pan. 5 minutes later, toss the carrots in on top of the chips, and add 4 small beef or gammon steaks, or 4 large beef burgers on the rack. 5 minutes later, turn them over. Less than 5 minutes later we have an amazing tasty and beautifully cooked low fat dinner for 4. The meat is beautiful - the pork gammon steaks are moist but cooked right through in 6 minutes. It makes beautifully cooked steak with better flavour than frying or grilling. If we add the steaks for just 6 minutes we have a perfectly cooked rare steak - 2mm of browning all over, and a still pink, but not bloody, moist inside., and the carrots and chips get that beautiful steak flavour added to them. But this doesn't just air fry, as someone said it is basically a very efficient mini oven and anything you can put into an oven you can put into this - just ensure you leave space for the airflow. We have roasted rhubarb and strawberries, we have baked apples, and we have cooked all sorts of fish, meat and veg. We even sterilized jam jars for our jam making, 4 at a time in 2 minutes - which is also the perfect warm up time for this fryer. We even baked a perfect low fat simnel cake using the silicon cake dish. To keep it low fat we really reduced the marzipan that is in the mixture. In the oven, simnel cake often burns a little due to the marzipan and dries up on the top, but in the air fryer it was cooked evenly all the way through and kept all of its moisture, and there was no loss of flavour, it tasted just like full fat simnel cake but better. Using the air fryer to its maximum has taken a bit of experimentation, but there are loads of online videos of other cooks trying out ideas, which gave us guidance and some ideas of our own to try out. We made roasted tomatoes and peppers, then added in eggs to poach for 4 minutes to get perfect Turkish Menemen for a 4 person brunch. Next we are experimenting with vegetable soup, So far nothing has been inedible, and almost everything has turned out better than it would have if cooked using a conventional oven and hob. What is really impressive is the way taste is enhanced, the taste is not just good but excellent. Having been forced onto a low fat diet, I had lost my appetite, was losing far too much weight, and probably become nutritionally deficient. We have had this less than 3 weeks, and I have put on 4lbs, feel full of energy and look forward to a dinner full of flavour that I want to eat, with my family. All this whilst saving energy and money. As I said, it is a miracle worker.

    Best Kitchen Gadget Ever!

    5/5
    I'd been chewing over whether to get one for years, when they first came out I bought a well known brand and it was horrendous, caught alight and had to be thrown out the door or the house would have burnt down that was swiftly returned to where I bought it, pre AO days. That experience put me off. But a friend bought a Ninja and I was so impressed I bought one. I bought the AF100UK, its a fab little air fryer but I wished I'd bought the dual zone model. After a couple of weeks it became evident that even tho I live alone, it wasn't big enough for me as I do love to cook but I had to cook one part of my meal and then wait to cook the second part of my meal, so I sold it to my neighbour and bought the Dual Zone model AF300UK. The AF300UK is fabulous! I can sling a steak in drawer one, mixed mediterranean veg and seasoning in drawer two, press 'sync' and it cooks both sides perfectly, the veg start being delayed so both drawers are finished at the same time. Today I tried out the dehydrator mode. I have a glut of tomatoes and thought I'd dry some to have over winter in meals. Dead easy to use. cut 1 poind of cherry tomatoes in half, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, and lay them on the rack inside each drawer, half a pound fits the drawer perfectly without overlapping. Then press dehydrate it automatically comes up at 60C and 6hours and press 'match' and off it goes, 6 hours later perfect dried tomatoes and if you want them a bit drier just set it for another hour or two although 8hrs is the max I think. Otherwise they'd be too hard and crisp. Then remove them, wait to cool, place in large 500ml kilner jars, cover with olive oil (and herbs if liked), place the lid on to keep them airtight, and store in a dark cupboard. They should keep for months. Just make sure you sterilise the ars well before use. I'm over the moon with the AF300UK air fryer. It roasts, bakes (cup cakes were amazing), air fries, reheats, and dehydrates everything to perfection, and my neighbour loves the AF100UK I sold her, she's cooked roast chicken in hers, cup cakes, chips and all sorts. So we're both happy bunnies! If you're dithering about getting one, get this one! I can't recommend it highly enough. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it. I rate both the AF100UK and the AF300UK 5 stars each as they're equally brilliant machines!

    Amazing Cooking Experience and money saving device.

    5/5
    I’m amazed at the things that can be cooked in the Ninja Airfryer. I’ve been constantly using it since I received it. Meat is so tender, roast potatoes are so crispy. Fish is so succulent. As for frozen chips, well I’ll never even consider doing in an oven again. All these plus points for the Ninja Airfryer, and that’s not mentioning the saving in energy and obviously money.

    Amazing little machine!

    5/5
    Amazing little machine! Really quiet operation, cooks perfectly and in less than half the time on any packet tried so far. The crisper tray ensures food cooks evenly and this works much better than cheaper air fryers I've seen/used. Really high quality finish, looks great and the ceramic makes cleaning really easy. This product is absolutely worth the money and makes cooking so quick and easy. Perfect for 2 but if you want to cook for more people get the larger one. Don't buy a cheaper air fryer!

    Great Kitchen Addition

    5/5
    So far really enjoying using this. Works efficiently and produces great quality food. This model is a good size for 1 to 2 people without having to over fill the basket and it's easy to clean. If you're new to air frying I recommend watching one or two videos just to learn tips and techniques. Very simple to use and glad I got it.

    Fabulous

    5/5
    Best equipment I have ever bought. Before buying ninja I couldn't do roast potatoes at all with out burning but with the ninja they're fluffy and perfect and it makes perfect chips and perfect cooking for chicken. I now use the ninja more than my oven which is a bonus .. Would absolutely recommend everyone to buy one, and they are very easy to clean jo fuss no mess at all

    The best on the market

    5/5
    I eat fried food at least 2x a week so it’s probably the most unhealthy part of my diet. I’ve been looking for ways to improve so I’ve switched normal to sweet potato fries or even roast vegetables instead, but nothing detracts from the amount of oil I go through in a week. So I was so excited, having been influenced by social media personalities I follow, to buy an air fryer and this seems to be the best on the market. No setup necessary and super easy to use from day 1, this has been a God send! I’ve already prepared sweet potato fries, and salmon in this. Both came out crispy and yet tender in the middle, which is just perfect!
