Bought myself a Ninja 3.8L air fryer before Christmas and it's been pretty amazing.
Great for veg - roast potatoes, home made chips, sweet potato, grilled peppers, roast carrots.
Does a fantastic job on salmon, chicken legs, sausages, roast pork, beef, chicken breasts.
Anything breaded, makes great schnitzel. Spring rolls come out perfect, samosas, supermarket falafel too.
It's great at reheating left-overs, great for frozen foods - oven chips, croquettes.
I did worry buying it it'd be a bit of a one trick pony but it's far from the case. I managed a roast dinner in it a few weeks ago doing batches (potatoes, carrots, roast pork etc.), we do salmon once a week, did chicken legs tonight, lots of veg goes in there too.
I reckon it gets used 4 out of 5 meals in some way because you can just set it and walk away with great results. An instant read thermometer is pretty essential kitchen gadget too and particularly useful timing with an air fryer as the timings do seem to vary from one to another. Like for salmon in the Ninja it's about 3 minutes less than some air-fryer recipes are suggesting.
Easier to clean than a bunch of messy greasy pans too.
I would say that for chip lovers nothing comes close to a deep fat fryer though, air fryer chips are still basically oven chips in taste but they do come out quicker and crispier. Supermarket oven chips however must have some magic coating as they come out super crispy.
My wife's told me I talk about the air fryer too much.
