Wouldn't be without ours - between us we had the basic Philips model, and (much cheaper) the similar Lidl/Aldi versions - all work very well - just think of them as tiny (but powerful) fan ovens.
We have just upgraded to a twin oven Ninja air-fryer - a fantastic piece of kit - produces the best baked potatoes I've ever tasted and is great for sausages, bacon too. The frozen 'skinny fries' from Aldi come out better than any fast food restaurant.
It's even good for reheating yesterdays roasties into 'good as new' - something that I previously thought impossible.

Snap Gness - we also had an air fryer and it recently conked out and was beyond repair.
We've now got a Ninja and it's sooooooo much better than the air fryer that we had. You can cook so much more in it and it cooks a lot quicker without sacrificing quality :)
Our old air fryer had a paddle that used to move round to cook things evenly - which was okay for some things, but not for the more delicate items which would just break up. The top shelf was shaped round, but you couldn't put large items in because you couldn't use the central bit.
My missus cooks everything in the Ninja - lasagne, pies, pizza ... if it fits in, she'll cook it in the Ninja - you just need to find yourself a heat resistant container that fits nice and snug in the Ninja.
My advice - get yourself a Ninja :)

I have a Ninja air fryer/ grill but have not yet sussed out the correct temperature and timing for frozen chips. I seem to burn them!
Sausages, bacon, steak, chops, kebabs all grill beautifully.
The only downside is that you cannot actually properly wash the fan part and it does tend to become a bit greasy and mucky.
The grill plate and the air fryer basket are a doddle to wash. I love mine and like Gness and Dave have hardly used the big oven since the Ninja arrived.

I think we should be on commission here :)
I can't rave on enough about our beloved Ninja .... I gotta agree that the sausages we've cooked, are as good as any we've cooked using other methods.
We've cooked lots of things in our Ninja ..... apart from the obvious things like frozen chips, etc .... we've also cooked pies, pizza, lasagne, sausages, full chicken, bread, cake, crumble and even a full unbroken egg so it comes out like it's been boiled ......

Oh and another one that my missus recently found out - you need to try this:
Place a slice of dry bread in the Ninja. Put some slices of bacon on the bread, but don't do what my missus did on her first attempt - make sure you allow for the bacon shrinking, so put more on than you think. As it cooks, the fat from the bacon seeps into the bread and the bread and bacon cook and you end up with ...... well how do I describe it ..... a slice of cooked bread, slightly moist with the fat from the bacon with nice crispy bacon on top ...... yummy :)
