Lewis's Air Fryer (5.7 Litre)

Product Information

There are no complex instructions to wade through (I’m looking at you, Honeywell boiler) and you can simply plug it in, choose your cooking options out of air fry, roast, oven, grill or reheat, and then choose a temperature and time. The air fryer will beep when it is pre-heated and notify you with more beeps when it is time to turn the food over. Our survey data takes into account which brands had faults reported and whether they needed to be repaired or replaced as a result.

The Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 has a 6-litre capacity (6.34 quartz in American measures), which is an ideal size for soloists, couples and one-child families.

The grill trays allow you to easily dispense with oil though, making things that little bit more healthy.

First off: capacity. The size of the machine you buy will depend on the size of your family and the size of your kitchen, and the last thing you want to do is end up with a huge appliance that’s cumbersome and far too big to use for just you and your partner.

Indeed, even many of the more obscure ones from no-name brands keep selling out too. Our current top UK recommendation is to try Tower Homewares.

For example, it could happen because the air fryer's display is on standby mode, which can be fixed by turning the appliance on and off again to reset it.
