I couldn’t afford [a Ninja] so have a Tower one and it’s been brilliant. My oven broke for the third time and no way was I paying for another repair so the air fryer has completely replaced my oven!" (Brand recommended by Mumsnet user ThatsRoughBuddy) Our verdict An air fryer cooks food by heating air up to around 200°C and circulating it around the inside of the appliance.

It's amazing. You can roast veggies in it to put in soups, it cooks, bakes, reheats, has max crisp (frozen stuff cooked to perfection in 10 mins). It also has a dehydrate function. My husband isn't veggie and one of the drawers is his but we can cook his meal and any of my sides to finish cooking at the same time. It doesn't heat the kitchen up so it uses less energy. I love mine."(Endorsed by Mumsnet user HuffleWoof) Tefal is a brand highly recommended by Mumsnet users for their reliable and quality products. The ActiFry Genius XL 2-in-1 is no exception.

This means that with this set you have the option to cook with the twin dual drawers or the large single drawer. Both variations have different benefits; with dual drawers, you can cook two foods separately on two different settings, whereas with the single large drawer, you can cook a large dish or meal altogether.

Claiming to save up to 55% on energy bills versus other cooking methods, the COSORI Air Fryer is another example of why the air fryer is rapidly becoming the appliance of choice when it comes to cooking family meals on a budget. Stirring paddle – Some air fryers have a stirring paddle so that you don’t have to shake or stir your food during the cooking process to ensure an even fry, although the jury’s out on whether stirring paddles improve the finish or not. You can sometimes remove the stirring paddle if you’d rather not use it.
