I have researched the best air fryer for the past few days because I want a healthier way to cook with less oil. I’ve read reviews on The New York Times (Wirecutter), Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and they consistently rate these two models among the best:

Ninja | Air Fryer | 4-in-1 Pro Air Fry
amzn.to/3RQHD4v

Cosori 9-in-1 TurboBlaze Air Fryer 6 Qt
amzn.to/3RpWBhQ

However, I’m having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and would appreciate some expert advice.
In my household, I’ll mainly use the air fryer for daily cooking—fries, chicken, fish, vegetables, frozen foods, and occasional baking. I cook for 3–5 people, value even cooking, easy cleaning, good build quality, and reasonable noise levels. Extra features like dual baskets or smart presets are a plus but not mandatory.
So, which air fryer would you recommend based on reliability, performance, and long-term value?
If there are better alternatives in a similar price range, I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I bought the cheapest most basic Ninja as there's only 2 of us but I wish I'd gone for a bigger model that would take a decent size chicken. I'd also like to have had 2 drawers as it would mean I could have ditched the oven completely. So I'd go for the best you can afford if you have the room for it in your kitchen. I've found my little Ninja works really well and was extremely good value, so I'd definitely go for another Ninja.

We have a Llivekit 30L airfryer oven. You can see it on Amazon. I've been trying to get a link to work to put it here, but can't find a way.
It's great. Uses much less electricity and is much quicker than a conventional oven. We have never used the main oven since getting this. It has airfryer facility too. I would never get the drawer type. This one is very versatile. You can get smaller airfryer ovens if that would suit you better. I would highly recommend this type. smile
