Ninja or Cosori? Ninja being double the price! Would love to hear what you think to those! Very hard to get hold of at the mo!

We have a Ninja and are very pleased with it. I’m not familiar with Cosori.

I have a Ninja Dual and use it almost every day.
I would recommend watching some of the demonstrations on YouTube.

We have the Cosori 360 Thermo IQ.
Bought from Amazon after reading reviews about several different airfryers.
Very pleased with it.

I love my Ninja - but I have the 9-in-1 which has 8 additional functions apart from air frying. If I wanted a machine purely as an air fryer, then I'd probably have bought a much cheaper more basic appliance.

My DD has the Ninja Dual Zone. She uses it daily and the grandchildren also use it.
They are more versatile than you might at first imagine. Today I made carrots and parsnips in my air fryer and I put stuffing balls in with them for the last 15 minutes, they were lovely.

If you can afford it, and cook for more than one, buy one with shelves. No idea who makes it but allows much more flexibility. One with a drawer can make cakes but you need to be clever to get a hot tin out of a deep drawer!

midgey I make a sling with aluminium foil. I bought a silicone sling for my Ninja foodi.

My DD has the Ninja Maxi and she uses it most days she does the Sunday Roast in it with great success,her brother my eldest boy was invited to Sunday lunch and was very impressed with it he went this last Monday to buy one only to find that there is an order time of 2 months on Amazon so he went to Curry's but still had to have his details taken for when they next come in stock every one wants them as the energy they use is such a lot less than a conventional oven.

I have a Tower 5in1, and for my DH and I, it's great.
