I suppose it all depends on what you normally cook. I use my Ninja a lot and only turn on the oven now if I am cooking more than fits in my Ninja. The other problem is baking - none of my dishes fit in the Ninja, although I could happily use it if I baked smaller cakes. I love that the Ninja is easy to clean, just wipe the fat out and then wash it out. You need to consider the actual machine you are buying and what it offers - some include grills, slow cookers, air fryers, pressure cookers and some are just air fryers, which may be all you want.

Just that really. I’m considering buying a Ninja foodie / air fryer (not necessarily that brand but something similar) and would value your opinions / experiences. The main question I have is - does an air fryer use less electricity than a conventional electric fan oven? This is a big consideration for me. I’m mostly cooking for two and wonder if it’s worth heating my oven - I’m looking for a cheaper way to cook. Also, can you cook everything in an air fryer that you can do in a conventional oven? I wouldn’t use it for deep frying as I never deep fry anything. I’d really value any advice as I don’t want to buy one, not use it and then it ends up as a white elephant sitting in the corner. Thanks in advance
