Ninja slashes two of its best-selling air fryers up to 25% ahead of Black Friday

Black Friday might be on the horizon, and it's usually a great time to snap up discounts on household appliances like air fryers. But if you don't fancy waiting until then, there's good news - Ninja has already slashed the prices on some of its best-selling air fryers ahead of the big sale event.

The Ninja 6-in-1 Dual Zone Air Fryer (7.6L) has dropped from £199.99 to £149.99, while the Ninja Double Stack 2-Drawer Air Fryer with the same 7.6L capacity is now £199.99, down from £229.99.

Both models let you cook two types of food in two different ways simultaneously, though they have a few key differences.

The Ninja 6-in-1 Dual Zone Air Fryer is one of the brand's most popular machines, and one of the most affordable dual zone models in its lineup. Its generous 7.6-litre capacity can feed six to eight people, and Ninja claims you can fit a 1.6kg chicken in each drawer.

It offers six cooking functions - air fry, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate, and Max Crisp (which can cook frozen food in minutes) - plus independent temperature and timer controls for each drawer. For example, you could roast a chicken on one side and air fry chips on the other, and the handy "Sync Finish" feature ensures both are ready at the same time.

According to Ninja's independent tests, this air fryer cooks 75% faster than a conventional oven (based on recommended cook times for sausages).

Cleanup's easy too, with dishwasher-safe drawers and racks.

Users have been singing its praises. One reviewer wrote: "Love my new dual basket airfryer, so clean, easy to use and very efficient. Would recommend to anyone who wants clean quick cooking." Another said: "Works perfectly! There is even no need to compare it to an oven... Fast, tasty, easy."

A few reviewers did note that it's on the larger side and can take up a fair bit of counter space which is something worth keeping in mind. The Dual Zone measures 31.5cm high, 38cm wide, 27cm deep, and weighs 8.2kg. While the dual drawers add flexibility, if you usually cook for just one or two people, a smaller single-basket model might be a better fit.

If saving counter space is a priority but you still want that dual-zone flexibility, the Ninja Double Stack Drawer Air Fryer could be the better choice. It has two 3.8-litre non-stick drawers that are stacked vertically, which Ninja says can each fit a whole 1.2kg roast chicken. And like the other Dual-Zone air fryers, you can cook two foods in each drawer at once and sync them to finish at the same time.

Not only can you cook two dishes at once with different settings, but it also lets you evenly cook four layers of food thanks to the included Stacked Meal stainless steel racks. So if one person wants chicken thighs with asparagus and another wants beef burgers with fries, you can cook them all together in one go. It's roomy enough to make meals for up to six people, too.

Ninja says the Double Stack cooks up to 55% faster than fan ovens (based on recommended cooking times for fish fingers and sausages), and like the Dual Zone, it comes with dishwasher-safe drawers and racks.

It's designed for countertop use - though of course, that depends on how much space you've got. The Double Stack measures 38.5cm high, 28cm wide, 42cm deep, and weighs 9.76kg.
