These 5 Black Friday deals on Ninja air fryer alternatives are not to be missed
Black Friday Ninja air fryer alternative deals you have to grab before they're gone
Black Friday Ninja air fryer deals have not been the best sales or the deepest discounts we've seen – unsurprisingly as these countertop appliances are proving more popular than ever.
With this year's Black Friday deals now event in full swing, it's hardly surprising that our Black Friday air fryer deals are (also) proving popular with readers. Air fryers have really hit the headlines in 2022 with realistic promises that they can half the cooking time of foods, and therefore save you a chunk of money on your energy bills (not forgetting to mention that they're a healthy way to roast, dehydrate, bake and so much more).
The air fryer that consistently comes out on top as one of the best air fryers is the Ninja Air Fryer Dual Basket, which to be fair is discounted at Best Buy, dropping down to a decent $129.99 and $119.95 at Amazon. However, if you were hoping to get it for cheaper, it's unlikely going to happen.
The good news is that there are air fryers out there that are just as good, if not better. And, they're offering better prices for Black Friday. Below, we've found some alternative options in the US, which are all currently in stock and discounted.
Hurry, though, because we can't guarantee how long even these air fryers will hang around for.

Having reviewed a number of Ninja air fryers, we've been consistently impressed by their ability to cook foods in half the time, saving money on energy and therefore answering the question that's on all of our minds: are air fryers worth it? They look super smart, have a good build quality and are easy to keep clean, with many parts being safe to put in the dishwasher, too.
As with the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer AF400UK, we found that the Twin Drawer was useful for cooking two food types at the same time during our review. The Max Crisp feature was also ideal for cooking various frozen foods, and the number of features in general was just as impressive, since the Ninja air fryers can do more than just air fryer; they can also bake, roast, rehydrate and more. Even the smaller Ninja Air Fryer Max XL can do more than just air fry, and it comes with the Max Crisp feature.
Consistent reliability is what you get with the Ninja air fryer, although they do come at an expense, so hopefully these equally fab alternatives will help to save you yet more money.
