Wife and I started with the Gourmia from Costco, but needed a bigger one and got the ninja with the clear window and light inside. We like the ninja more for sure. Seems to cook better and we (with multiple kids) prefer the bigger model.

I've gotten TONS of use out of a Ninja Max XL 5.5qt since 2023. I love this thing. I use it several times a week for things like potatoes, salmon, frozen broc, chicken, sometimes steak. But, I'm finding that I could occasionally use a little bit larger surface area (e.g., large chicken cutlets sometimes can push it). I've never needed it to be any taller. Visibility isn't super important but it might be nice to see what's going on and not interrupt cooking. Wondering if anyone's been in a similar spot, what they went with, and how they like it? Thanks!

Ahhh the AF100 I remember you at the start of my 'whats a good airfryer to buy journey' :). Im getting an airfryer with Qantas points so its $0 and one i can get online via Qantas points is the ninja 5.2l. From another post their 5l airfryer can cook half a pizza... so yeah that might do so I portion control and pizza lasts.

There's a Ninja for every lifestyle, it seems. I have both their indoor grill air fryer and their classic big single drawer air fryer. Both have served me very well and reliably for 4 years. I am definitely getting a bigger 6 liter Auto Advanced glass tub airfryer simply because it can handle different types of tubs and has an extra powerful heating element fan. Unlike its smaller glass bowl fryer, the bigger fryer is better value for the 5 the heating head is mounted on a stand with a rising glass bowl holder for handling different depths of bowls. These are oven grade glass bowls that come with lids. Once cool, they are safe for fridge or freezer.

Als ich mit meinem Partner zusammengezogen bin haben wir uns direkt eine Ninja geholt (keine ahnung welches Modell genau, hat aber nur ein Fach und Max crisp funktion) Anfangs war ich skeptisch, ABER es ist schon ganz geil. Am meisten machem wir darin TK sachen. Letztens hatten wir einen Kuchen drin gemacht mit den speziellen Backpapierdingern, hat auch gut geklappt. Das einzige was ich unfassbar nervig finde ist, sie jedes mal sauber zu machen. Da find ich den Ofen alle paar monate sauber machen amgenehmer, aber was die schnelligkeit betrifft ist der air fryer um welten besser. Vorallem weil wir einen recht alten ofen haben, der die Hitze manchmal doof verteilt. Das einzige was wir noch aktiv im Ofen machen sind aufläufe oder TK Pizza
