Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer AF500UK air-fryer, £269 now £219

Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone AF400UK air-fryer

Air-fryers are capable of performing a multitude of tasks, but the capacity of the drawers can sometimes be restrictive. That's what sets this clever Ninja air-fryer apart, as you can remove the divider between the two drawers to create one large one – with room for a beef wellington or a large roast chicken.

At 10.4 litres, its seven pre-sets include air-fry, max crisp, reheat, roast, dehydrate, and prove. If cooking with two drawers, you can also synchronise them to finish simultaneously, regardless of timings and temperatures.
