Ninja Air Fryer MAX 6.2L AF170UK

Four chicken breasts at once — that's the practical headline here. Most compact air fryers top out at around 4–4.5 litres, which means cooking in batches the moment you're feeding more than two people. The Ninja AF170UK's 6.2-litre drawer sidesteps that frustration without the footprint of a dual-basket model, making it a genuine middle ground between the underpowered solo-cook fryers and the bulkier family units that eat half your worktop.

Who Is This For?

This suits households of three or four who cook from scratch most evenings but can't justify the counter space a larger appliance demands. It's particularly well-suited to anyone batch-cooking proteins — chicken thighs, salmon fillets, sausages — where capacity matters more than dual-zone cooking. If you regularly cook two completely different dishes simultaneously, you'd be better served by a dual-basket model like the Ninja Foodi MAX; the AF170UK is a single-drawer unit and doesn't offer that flexibility.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the evenness of cooking — chips and roasted vegetables come out uniformly browned rather than scorched on one side and pale on the other, which isn't a given at this price point. The MAX function, which pushes temperature to 240°C, gets specific mentions for crisping skin on chicken. The most repeated gripe is the lack of a built-in preheat indicator; some users find the manual timing guesswork until they establish a routine. The drawer handle has also drawn occasional comments about feeling less robust than the rest of the unit.

The Deal
