Ninja AF100UK Air Fryer
*Average price in the past six months: £91.98. Cheapest price in the past six months: £59.00
Pros: Dishwasher-safe parts, comes with a recipe booklet
Cons: It can take longer to set up than other air fryers, not energy efficient
Ninja’s debut air fryer is not the most energy-efficient model we’ve tested and it’s a little complicated to set up initially, but these are minor niggles.
It has a digital-display, four functions and a 3.8-litre capacity. It will cook chips and chicken, and other fried food with no oil. It can be also used to make your own dried fruit snacks, vegetable crisps or beef jerky.

Pros and cons of cheap air fryers: our expert says
Adam Speight, Which? air fryers expert, says:
'Air fryers at the cheaper end of the spectrum tend to be the basket type, which are often only suitable for smaller households or for preparing side dishes.
'Most cheap air fryers only have one cooking chamber, which can limit variety in the meals you prepare and will require you to cook in batches if you're making food for more than one or two people.
'In addition, multiple cooking functions are generally reserved for more expensive models so if you're looking for something to handle more complex culinary tasks, you might want to look at the best dual air fryers or even the best multi cookers.
'If you're confused about the differences between air fryers and multi cookers, read our air fryers vs multi cookers guide to learn more about what both gadgets offer.
'On the plus side, small air fryers are easier to store. And by reading our reviews and selecting one of our higher scoring models, you can be sure you're getting a good balance between quality and price.'
