Reducing cooking time and reducing fat are a couple of holy grails in the kitchen that are easier to achieve than you think. Air fryers are easy to use, cheap to run, cook faster than conventional ovens and stoves, and require little or no oil to crisp your food while cooking.
If you haven’t yet made the upgrade by adding one to your culinary arsenal, or you’re just in the mood for a new one, Amazon has a great deal on the Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7L for just £98.98 down from £129.99 £. It’s cheaper than you’ll find it direct from Ninja or at Argos.
At 2000W, it costs just 50p to run for an hour at its highest settings, and you rarely need to keep it running for that long. Along with using up to 75% less fat than conventional cooking methods, it will cook your food thoroughly and evenly in 30% less time too.

With a capacity of 4.7 litres, this fryer is ideal for cooking two portions at the same time, with enough space to fit a whole 1kg chicken or up to 500g of chips. Its four cooking presets – air fry, broil, reheat and wipe – give you everything you need to get started quickly and of course you can set temperatures and cooking times manually too.
Along with all this, you get a two-year warranty when registering with Ninja. Amazon customers have raved about this one, averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars from 151 reviews so far. “Worked a treat from the start. Nice crispy potatoes and cooked chicken breasts nicely,” said one five-star review. “Early days but pretty impressed.”
“It’s so fast, very easy to keep clean, very easy to use,” said another satisfied customer. “Small suits me and it doesn’t take up much space in my small kitchen. Well done.”
However, some have raised areas for improvement. “I’m extremely particular about washing but the tray with this one has already started to lose its non-stick after a month or two,” said one two-star review.
One four-star review noted a problem with how well it self-ventilates: “The only downside is with the rear vent, it often gets too hot and sets off my smoke alarm. I have to pull the airfryer out in the middle of the work surface so there is enough room for ventilation . This can be a problem in smaller spaces.”
If you’re interested in alternatives, check out this Tefal twin drawer option at Currys for £129.99. At a lower price point, there’s also this stainless steel Salter option at Robert Dyas for just £79.99.
