Recommendations for Large Air fryer for huge family

Hi all

I know there is no shortage of air fryers for sale. I am even a member of which? Which recommends many many different Air fryers. However the choice of models available is just too big to make an informed decision so I thought I would come and ask you guys to recommend a big enough Air Fryer for a family of 8 including 6 growing teenagers. 

TIA.

    I would suggest you consider getting two as this gives you more flexibility to cook different meals, different items for different times, to only use one if less people are eating, and in case one breaks. I can't make any recommendations though. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    For a large family, you need two

    Step back for a minute and think about why you are wanting to buy one? If its for the supposed savaging in electricity , well they are suspect tbh

    lets say you decided on the Ninja Dual - around the £200 mark, if you can source one, that can take you a year to recoup the costs

    We are three, I have the Ninja 400 plus the 15 in 1. Both are brilliant , they also compliment each other really well and as Im learning with them both , food is cooked in half the time of the oven/hob. But thats two appliances that cost more then my oven for three people, at the moment they certainly arent saving me a penny, they just save me time 

    The 15 wont air fry enough chips or fish or stuff for 8 adults, totally impossible . The dual will - perhaps - in batches. For 8 people your oven would be the cheaper option

    Anyone posting here who is basing their recommendation on personal use/ownership is, by definition, only going to be able to comment on one particular model, which is hardly an ideal starting point. 

    Why is the choice of models 'just too big' when you have only one (or at least one main) criterion: the size of the air fryer. That cuts out swathes of the models on offer and you can then work out which best fits your requirements, crucially in terms of budget, which you've not mentioned at all.

    Try googling on 'large capacity air fryers' and there seem to be some pretty helpful comparison sites e.g. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwic1JDPvdP6AhXHse0KHUUEBrMYABAXGgJkZw&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESauD2V8NMf2MlZ1XJ3j2oAr-biX0kHy6yJ5paqtvKFm8Z0CT3nREgZ30_kEJDDG1dx1ANf57aP5aCzUyN4j-XcitkxxSBpmI6rnQRZ4I5qAG6oRPmb2nf9Wghhd-_-wdf-yNEk9KZQw7dBWA&sig=AOD64_3eY2vaVBMl6wCqervopZK1RXmv9A&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjz9InPvdP6AhUSiVwKHapsDlkQ0Qx6BAgIEAE&dct=1


    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!  
  • I agree for your size family just fill up your oven but for snacks for the odd 1,2 or 3 of you they are good.  I personally bought the Tower one with the rotisserie, mainly because I wanted a rotisserie but it only takes small chickens. 

    Plus side is that its half the price of the Ninja and you get trays and not buckets. 
  • Two months ago, I was still hesitating about how to choose an air fryer because there are so many brands to choose from and I don't know how to compare them. Given the high energy bills, I had to make a decision quickly. I saw a review and after that I knew what I needed.

    I need to supply a large family, so I can't choose those air fryers under 10L capacity. Capacity is very important, large capacity can save you a lot of trouble, you can cook a lot of food at the same time. Save power!

    In the end I settled on the air fryer oven from HYSapientia, it's a new brand, but it attracts its ten features in addition to its low price. I actually own it, and of course another reason to buy it is that it has a 25L capacity.

    If you are a single person or you supply very few people, then all you need to do is buy a small air fryer

  • As others had already said I would probably recommend two for a family of your size. You'll never look back as it'll make life easier!

    I checked their sales site and it seems to be out of stock but they have another one in stock. They were not out of stock when I bought them 2 months ago, they are good for 3-4 people, if they serve 8 people need to buy doublefor an air fryer.

  • Just now I contacted the manufacturer to help me with a setup issue. Learned from the manufacturer that they have updated their inventory and now you can find them on Amazon。
