Amazon Shoppers Are Obsessed with This Air Fryer
According to many Kitchn readers, the air fryer is a game-changer. There’s just something to be said about being able to make restaurant-level tater tots, french fries, chicken wings, easy donuts, and more. Plus, the air fryer gets the job done in a fraction of the time that a traditional oven would, and at a fraction of the hassle (and calories) than a deep fryer. So it’s really no wonder that home cooks are obsessed.
There’s one air fryer in particular that many home cooks love, and that’s the Ninja Air Fryer. It’s the bestselling air fryer on Amazon and, out of the more than 2,000 customer ratings, 88 percent of Amazon reviewers gave this appliance five stars. Why do they love it so? Let us count the ways.
Buy: Ninja Air Fryer, $100
The Ninja Air Fryer allows people to “fry” food using up to 75 percent less fat than traditional methods (like deep- or shallow-frying). The contraption can get up to 400 degrees and its four-quart ceramic basket fits two pounds of fries. And that’s not all it can do: You can also roast, reheat, crisp, and dehydrate anything your heart desires. Bonus: The basket is nonstick and can go in the dishwasher. At just $100, you get the most bang for your buck.

But don’t just take it from us. Take it from happy customers. Here’s what some of the reviewers had to say.
“I did some research on air fryers and finally decided on the Ninja because it is voted one of the best air fryers. The price is very reasonable for an air fryer — I was not going to pay a couple hundred dollars or more and also I did not need a large capacity one, since I am cooking for myself. So far, I am very impressed with it. Clean up was simple: warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. This was worth every penny.”
“First, let me say I love air fryers. They make frying food so much easier. The tots come out super crispy and evenly cooked and chicken strips are juicy in the middle and crispy on the outside. When I used an oven I could never get tots to be crispy. I highly recommend the Ninja, as the quality is great, it is easy to clean, and the food cooks perfectly as long as you follow the instructions. So far this is the best air fryer I have used and it is super affordable.”
“Finally decided to buy an air fryer and I don’t regret it. French Fries are crispy and yummy and take about 20 minutes to make it. Chicken tenders are also delicious. It’s easy to clean and easy to use. Just set the temperature and time and you’re done.”
