Product Information

The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone air fryer has a huge fan following - and it's easy to see why once you get your hands on one. We're not afraid to say that we think the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer air fryer deserves more hype than it currently has.

Safety Features - Including a non-stick coating, auto-shut off, over-heat protection, with a child safety lock system. This shows us how consistently each appliance cooks across the board, to ensure that four-portion air fryer really is big enough for a family dinner. You simply need to spray or pour a little oil onto whatever you’re cooking before switching on the appliance – although you don’t always have to use oil if you don’t want to. It has the same type of interface as the Salter EK4750BLK, which might throw up a few teething problems at first. If that’s not enough, this new and improved model also comes with kebab skewers, silicone oven mitts and a small pizza crisping tray.Some premium models even make it possible to cook an entire Sunday roast, potentially allowing you to squeeze in a whole chicken alongside potatoes and vegetables for the ultimate in tasty, energy efficient cooking.

So you can cook your chicken and chips simultaneously, without the worry that one will be done before the other. That includes not only the cooking performance after trying them out with a range of foods, but also how they fit into a living space, how intuitive they are to use, and how much they're likely to set you back. Because so little oil is used, an air fryer won’t recreate exactly the same results as your local chippy, though most of our picks below do come close. Below you can read up on who tested the air fryers in this round-up, and why they're qualified to tell you all about them. You can not only roast and fry food, but dehydrate it to produce beef jerky, chewy apple rings, banana chips, veggie crisps and other healthy snacks.

You should also consider the capacity of the air fryer – some are big enough to cater for a family meal, while others are smaller and can fit into dinky kitchens. While it must be said that this air fryer definitely lacks the intuitive controls of our absolute favourite dual-zone air fryers (and is therefore not for the technophobic), it does have its merits with large drawers and a huge amount of power (2400 watts). During testing, one portion of frozen potato lattices came out perfectly crisp and golden in just six minutes, compared to the recommended 15-minute oven cooking time stated on the bag.
