What Real Users Say

Real users on Reddit frequently discuss air fryer. Common themes we found:

"I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year - Ninjas are good, scoring high too, wondering though what are some of the ones mentioned in this odd ball fryer review for 2025, never heard of them, can't be bad at the volumes they get purchased and likely carry a lot of feature value ... I have a Ninja 13 in 1 oven style. I found if air fry or air roast doesn’t cook crispy enough to turn on broiler for a bit and presto."
