This Ninja Combi is seriously an impressive all-in-one cooker that combines Ninja’s elite air frying performance with the flexibility of a multicooker, oven, steamer and more. If you love the crispy results Ninja air fryers are known for but want something even more versatile, this is the appliance to beat.
Its standout feature is Ninja’s Combi Cooker Technology, which combines HyperSteam and Air Fry to cook complete meals in as little as 15 minutes. That means juicy proteins, tender veggies and crispy finishes all in one go - no juggling multiple pans or appliances.
With 14 cooking functions, frozen-to-table cooking in under 30 minutes and enough room to feed up to 8 people, it’s ideal for kitchens wanting serious versatility from a single benchtop appliance. Plus, the design looks pretty futuristic. It looks like it has a smart screen on the handle and is also very easy to use and understand.
Best for: Anyone wanting one appliance that can do almost everything cooking-wise, very fast and deliciously (as long as the recipe is half decent)

The AF400 from Ninja remains one of the most popular air fryers on the market for good reason. With a huge 9.5L dual drawer design, it makes cooking two dishes at once incredibly easy - perfect for families or anyone meal prepping.
DualZone Technology continues to be the star here, with Smart Finish syncing two different cooking zones so everything is ready together, while Match Cook lets you mirror settings across both baskets.
It remains one of the most flexible and user-friendly dual basket air fryers available, which is exactly why it continues to feature on our best-sellers list again in 2026.
Best for: Large families and big households, and anyone who wants maximum flexibility

Not everyone wants a traditional drawer-style air fryer - and that’s where the Smart Oven Air Fryer from Breville comes in.
This premium benchtop oven combines air frying with 10 cooking presets, including bake, roast, grill, slow cook and pizza, all inside a generous 22L oven cavity. It’s effectively a compact second oven with elite air frying capability built in.
Breville’s Element iQ System intelligently directs heat exactly where it’s needed, while Super Convection boosts airflow for faster, crispier air frying.
Best for: Home cooks wanting a premium benchtop oven with air fry functionality

Another Ninja, I know! but these are truly favourites of our customers - with the AF500 being no exception. If you love the idea of a dual drawer air fryer but sometimes wish you could make more space for larger meals - the AF500 solves that problem beautifully.
Its FlexDrawer design gives you two 5.2L cooking zones when using the divider, or one enormous 10.4L MegaZone when removed. That makes it ideal for everything from family dinners to full roast chickens and entertaining.
With DualZone Technology, Smart Finish, Match Cook and 7 cooking functions, this is essentially the AF400’s bigger, more flexible sibling.
Best for: Large families and anyone wanting dual-zone flexibility with mega capacity

Philips continues to prove why they remain one of the most trusted names in air frying, and this 6.2L XL model is a fantastic everyday option.
Featuring RapidAir Technology with Philips’ signature Starfish Design, it delivers crisp, even cooking with little to no oil. A standout feature here is the integrated viewing window, letting you monitor food without opening the basket.
Compact enough for most kitchens but large enough for family meals, it strikes a great balance between size, performance and price.
Best for: Families wanting trusted performance without overcommitting on size

A strong new entry for 2026, the Westinghouse XL Air Fryer delivers plenty of practical value for shoppers wanting a large-capacity air fryer without the premium price tag.
Its 8L basket offers ample room for family meals, while Smart Logic Control intelligently adjusts cooking settings based on selected functions to help deliver more consistent results.
Throw in touchscreen controls, 6 preset modes and a sleek modern design, and this becomes a compelling option in the mid-budget space.
Best for: Budget shoppers wanting XL capacity and smart cooking assistance

⭐ 4.8/5 from 1,083 reviews
Returning to our best-sellers list for another year (and yes - Oops Ninja did it again!), the AG551 remains the go-to option for anyone who wants BBQ-style cooking without owning a full outdoor grill.
Its standout feature is Cyclonic Grilling Technology, which delivers high-heat searing and proper grill marks, while the integrated Smart Probe helps nail meat doneness without guesswork.
Combined with air frying, roasting, baking and dehydrating functions, it remains one of the most unique appliances in the category.
Best for: BBQ and grill lovers and those who would love a BBQ but can't due to space restrictions or other reasons

Capacity matters: Singles and couples = 3-5L is just fine. Families of four+ = 6L or dual zone.
Single vs Dual Zone: Dual lets you cook two foods at once; single gives you more space for whole roasts.
Temperature range: Look for at least 80°C-200°C for a wider cooking range.
Easy cleaning: Dishwasher-safe parts and non-stick coatings make cleanups easier to manage.
Bench space: Some models are tall - measure before you buy.
