What it is
The Ninja AF300UK is a dual-basket air fryer with two independent 3.8 litres baskets. Each basket can run a different function, time and temperature, and Smart Finish times them so both finish together.
What stands out
- Two foods, two settings, one finish time
– 7.6 litres of total capacity
– Air fry, roast, bake, broil, reheat and dehydrate
– Dishwasher-safe baskets and crisper plates
What to know
- It is wide, so measure your counter
– Each basket fits less than a single large basket
– The nonstick coating needs gentle utensils
Is it worth it?
For families, yes. It replaces juggling an oven and a single-basket fryer. If you cook for one or two, a 4.7 litres single-basket model saves money and space.
