Fancy one, but the Ninja dual zone jobbies are out of stock everywhere or at hugely inflated prices
Don't want a multi cooker - slow cooker, steamer, pressure cooker, air fryer etc
So what's as good as a Ninja?
New Tefal job?
We’ve got an older model but it’s ace, even though it has no temperature control. The new one does I believe.
Ninjas are made in China, puts me off. Our Tefal is French made, which isn’t quite as bad.
Dunno about any other but we just got a Ninja, it does seem rather good!
We just got a Instantpot Pro Crisp for £160 on Amazon. Seems to be on a par with the Ninja 15-in-1 apart from it has two different lids rather than the all-in-one Ninja. It's very very good though, if you have space for the other lid. According to our smart meter it's using about 20% of the electricity that our (admittedly large) oven does.
We have a Tower , 9L vortex dual basket ... seems very good so far and not badly priced at £139
Dunno if they have the one you want.
They don't, but cheers anyway
We've had a two drawer Salter arrive today, having had the same issue with Ninja out of stock everywhere for a couple of weeks. Unpacked it earlier but not yet used, so we will see in a day or two. It was £125
I grabbed Tower one massively reduced (supposedly) at robert dyas and its been used pretty much every other day for my lad and me rather than the cooker...
hmm, its back at full price 199, bought it at 100
Got a Cosori Pro 4.7L and have been very happy with it so far. Feels decent quality & looks classy too.
If it’s any consolation, we have a ninja. The build quality is cheap to say the least, I’d be surprised if it lasts 5 years.
They are nothing special either. In reality they are just small fan ovens so I can’t see how one brand could be remarkably better / worse than another.
I noticed Dyas have an air fryer for £75, I don’t need anything fancy, I’m not going to be preparing a three course family meal, it’s just for me for when I get home at 7 o’clock in the evening and I want to cook something with minimum speed and hassle.
Amazon had a 40 quid Tower a month back, maybe they still do.
Had a great chicken in it last night. Very happy with its performance.

Same. My partner teases me because I love it so much 😅
