Dual-drawer air-fryer models also come with the ability to cook different dishes on different functions simultaneously, while rotisserie fryers can help you create restaurant-quality chicken and chips from home.

The functions are tailored towards specific foods, which is good for beginners, but limiting if you want to diversify beyond chicken and fries. Its controls were intuitive and easy to use – a single knob lets you switch between all the different settings – something our testers found useful. Its bulky size makes it less than ideal for small kitchens, but if you have the space, it's easy to recommend.It's a great all-around model that's perfect for anyone, no matter your living situation or house (or apartment) size.

It has 11 digital functions in 1-Steak, Poultry, Seafood, Shrimp, Bacon, Frozen Foods, French fries, Vegetables, Root Vegetables, Bread, Desserts, and Preheat. Our chips were fluffy too, but crisped up best when distributed across two drawers, rather than cramming lots into one.The Ninja Air Fryer Max, which is known as the Ninja Air Fryer Max XL in the US, also turned our crisp, evenly browned homemade fries and chicken wings, and was quiet during use too. The integrated digital thermometer meant the gadget alerted us when the whole chicken was full cooked, preventing it from being over-done.
