After the Foodi Air Fryer (AF300EU) and the Air Fryer Max (AF160EU), it is the turn of the Air Fryer (AF100EU) to pass through our test laboratory. So what is Ninja’s most affordable air fryer worth? Answer in this test.
Ninja’s most affordable air fryer is surprisingly the best performing. The requested temperatures are quickly reached and generally well respected. And if the Air Fryer (AF100EU) obviously offers a little less functionality than its big sisters with a wider temperature range, its “Dehydrate” function constitutes an interesting advantage compared to a Proscenic T21 offering, for a similar price, options certainly more numerous, but a bit “gadgets”. Only the capacity of the tank ultimately appears to be a real obstacle, which should however only stop large families.
Strong points
- Very rapid rise in temperature.
- Temperature stability.
- Interesting “Dehydrate” function.
- Ease of use.
Weak points
- Tank a bit small.
- Quite thin recipe booklet.
- Tendency to heat on the outside.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Extra Crisp is a nice addition to the Cookeo. If cooking is not very quick, the Moulinex heated lid convinces with its ease of use. Setup is quick, the settings are simple and the companion application already offers around fifty recipes thanks to the large community that Cookeo brings together. The Extra Crisp, however, remains less efficient than many full-fledged oil-free fryers, and cannot in itself constitute a good reason to invest in one of Moulinex’s electric pressure cookers, if you have not already done so. .
