Air Fryers, any good?

[Street end man]

Mrs came back home today with an air fryer that she got in the January sales.
She's been going on about them for ages and we've a couple of friends who have them who swear by them.
Problem is, I can't be doing with microwaved stuff, just not nice and that contraption only gets used for defrosting.
In general I've not liked any of the cooking gimmicks from the George Formby grill to the pop up toaster lol
Opening my question to the wider audience here to hear some honest replies from fellow blues.
Make is a Ninja which she says is widely praised but I've never heard of them. So, crap or worth a go?
Bottled it tonight and opted for a take away whilst the game is on by the way

Yes mate, they're good.

 

[coollino]

Everything I have had from an air fryer tastes exactly the same, whatever it is

Waste of kitchen space imo

It's essentially a convection oven.

Buy it, enjoy the convenience, pretend you're the first person to ever buy one.

I just don’t understand why anyone would want to fry air

 

[Rich1878]

They're excellent. I've not long got one myself. Was thinking about ut for ages. Honestly, they are a very good bit of kit

 

[Simo]

Just more landfill, eventually

Just don't be banging on about it everyday like every other person with one does.

It's a small oven. Don't expect it to do anything other than be a bit more efficient at cooking your food.

Because they’re massively cheaper to run, than the oven or grill.

They are great, make certain things so much easier. No waiting for the oven to heat up. We use ours all the time. Double drawer ones are the best. I was very skeptical at first but now I’m a convert. Christmas Day was the first time I’ve used the oven in months.

Got a 2 drawer Ninja Foodi. Some of the best money I've spent in recent times. Great bit of kit.

Use it every day, usually more than once.

Not to mention massively quicker, and cook stuff nicer.

Cheers mate
