“It’s especially useful given my partner is vegetarian, which means I can cook two separate meals at once, one with meat and one without, and ensure there’s no risk of contamination between the two.”
Walk into most modern kitchens these days and you’ll most likely spot an air fryer of some sort. They’re fantastic cooking gadgets that can not only cook food faster, but also more healthily.
That said, us shoppers can sometimes be prone to going a little over the top when it comes to kitchen appliances, cluttering up the worktop leaving little room to actually prep our food – especially in smaller kitchens. As such, it’s worth looking to claw back as much counter top space as possible to ensure the space doesn’t feel overcrowded.
One way of doing that without sacrificing an appliance completely is to go with Ninja’s double stack air fryer, which retains the two-drawer functionality by stacking them on top of each other instead of side by side. It’s normally sold for £229.99, but it can be picked up for £199.99 in the ongoing Debenhams summer sale.

This model comes equipped with Ninja’s super useful ‘Sync’ feature which lets you set both the drawers to finish cooking at the same time. It’s especially useful when you’re trying to cook a big meal but ensure that each component is warm by the time it’s served.
There are six cooking functions., including Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Reheat and Max Crisp. Whatever you’re looking to cook, this air fryer will have you covered.
I own this model of Ninja air fryer myself and it’s been a game changer for my cooking habits. It’s especially useful given my partner is vegetarian, which means I can cook two separate meals at once, one with meat and one without, and ensure there’s no risk of contamination between the two. It’s especially useful on Sundays for a roast.
If you can get away with having a smaller capacity, Ninja also offers a space-saving 3.8 litre air fryer. It’s currently £99.99 at the official Ninja store.
For a slightly more budget option, you could opt for Tefal’s Easy Fry Max. Amazon currently has it available for £79.99.
Reviewers have awarded the Ninja double stack with a 4.3 star review score overall at Debenhams, with one shopper writing: ” It is very easy to use and I have zero issues or complaints. Aside from using up less space another plus of this stack air fryer is that it is much easier to clean.”
Meanwhile, a second reviewer adds: “Good space saving size. Easy to use. Good size for couple or single person. Used everyday, easy to clean.” A third writes: “This air fryer is great in size being double stack, I don’t have a lot of workspace so this is brilliant. I love the feature where you can sync top and bottom draws to cook different items but finishes at the same time.”
However, a few reviewers mention that food doesn’t cook as evenly as with other air fryer’s they’ve tried. “Cooks food unevenly. Food at the front cooks quicker than the back,” writes one frustrated shopper.
A second home chef found the gadget a bit too noisy for their taste: “Ok but so noisy! We have an open plan kitchen living room and find the fan noise of this product a big problem. Also it beeps to confirm instructions or when you open and close a drawer and this is too loud too.”
