Was speaking to an Aldi manager this morning who was saying people are travelling some distances and queuing up long before the store opened to grab one of these.

Out of stock as I posted (Argos Ninja Dual Zone 9.5l)
Some pressure/air fryers in stock at Argos.

Those with the max crisp setting, what foods would you use that for?
I was thinking frozen chips, but the air fry setting cooked them fine.

Roast potatoes maybe? Just a minor two after regular cook?
Probably Home made Yorkshire puddings since they are hard to do in a normal oven.

Update on this thread.
We replaced the Ninja mini oven with a Ninja dual zone air fryer which is a lot better. 100x easier to clean and cooks quicker.
It's possible to cook at whole 1.6kg medium chicken in half of the air fryer, leaving vegetables and chips or something else in compartment 2
@BUDFORCE I would recommend this one (Ninja AF300UK) - https://ninjakitchen.co.uk/product/ninja-foodi-dual-zone-air-fryer-af300uk-zidAF300UK
As above, it has two compartments and is 7.6l capacity.
Maybe for a family of 4 go for the larger 9.5l capacity - https://ninjakitchen.co.uk/product/ninja-foodi-max-dual-zone-air-fryer-af400uk-zidAF400UK
We also just had this months electric bill, £74.69 instead of last months £132. Now im not saying it saved £60 a month but I think we have turned the oven on once this month, so guess it helped somewhat
Hi
Did you use any oil on the chicken, or just a seasoning?
Better with a bit of olive oil rubbed onto the skin

Thanks, I have 1.6kg as well, going to try 200c @50mins.

For anyone that’s interested.
Making a roast dinner with a single large built in oven is a pain in the arse, especially when trying to do yorkshires. I think one of the dual basket Ninja air fryers might be the solution - much more cost effective than renovating the kitchen and buying a range cooker. Shame nowhere has them in stock at the moment.

Think most stores only had 1/2 in for the launch. The ninja one looks awesome, It would be interesting to see how they compare.
Why are they so hard to get hold of all of a sudden?

They're hailed as the holy grail of energy saving compared to your normal oven. Lots of "influencer" hype around them on social media, basically the usual reasons things end up hard to get hold of unless you want to get scalped

I wanted to do a whole chicken in ours but didn't know to what extent I should jam it in so it's ok touching the sides etc?
I saw some mention cooking it breast side down for half, then turning it over?
I had a 1.6ishkg bird in the fridge when we opened out ninja and just didn't look like it would go in, I'll be braver!
push down break its back
Guessed as much. Interestingly we didnt use our oven all month when we first got the air fryer, the electric bill was £40 cheaper than normal
Yeh, jam it in. It'll fit!
I just stuck it in and left it and it was fine. The legs did get a bit stuck when I opened it after 50 mins though, had to break one slightly but it was nice and cooked so ate it

The only time our oven goes on now is for something like a big cottage pie or pizza so it's almost certainly saved us some electric.
Whether it's gained back the £150 we paid in June who knows, but it's so much more convenient.
Similar, pizza (which we have hardly ever) or xmas dinner!
Its way more convenient that farting around with the oven scraping things off the tray. Like when we used to do sweet potato fries in the oven and chicken
