You can see exactly what’s happening to your food without pulling a drawer out halfway through. The Daewoo runs on a 1,300W halogen bulb with a fan and holds 12 litres in the bowl. This can be extended to 17 litres using the 5-litre extender ring that comes in the box. The CRISPi’s largest glass container is only 3.8 litres, so the Daewoo takes more than four times as much in a single go. The Daewoo fryer has a temperature dial which ranges from 60°C to 250°C and a 60-minute timer. In contrast, the Ninja also has no temperature dial at all. Most read in Money You pick from four preset functions – air fry, roast, keep warm and recrisp – and the machine decides the heat. With the Daewoo, you also get two chrome racks, so a tray of potatoes and a tray of veg can go in at once on separate levels, plus cooking tongs, a glass oil spray bottle and a lid stand. There’s a self-clean cycle too: fill the bowl with warm soapy water, switch it on, and it does the scrubbing. It holds a 4.6 out of 5-star rating from 1,318 Robert Dyas reviews, with 986 of 1,067 reviewers (or 92%) saying they’d recommend it. Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, £149.99 at Ninja The Ninja isn’t beaten everywhere, though. At just over 5kg it’s genuinely portable, and the Ninja containers have snap-on lids, so leftovers go straight in the fridge. Its glassware is dishwasher-safe, and it takes up far less counter space. The Daewoo, by contrast, is a big lump at 36.8cm wide and 34.7cm deep – more of an appliance you commit a corner to than one you tuck away. And some reviewers have flagged that it’s ‘pretty bulky’.
