We voted the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer Home Device of the Year Award at the TechRadar Choice Awards 2022, sponsored by Sky Broadband. We think it’s the best air fryer money can buy, as do many people – and that means it’s been rarer than chicken teeth in recent weeks. The smaller version is completely sold out in the UK and is selling for silly money on eBay, but if you’re quick you can pick up the 9.6L model for much less than the Ninja Scalpers charge for the smaller one.
It’s worth noting that this fryer goes by different names in different markets: it’s the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer AF400UK in the UK and the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 10-Quart Air Fryer with DualZone Technology (DZ401) in the US . .
Why is the Ninja sold out so quickly?
The cost of living crisis in the UK is driving thousands of people to buy air fryers and instant pots because they are so energy efficient: they cook in less time and use far less energy than traditional hobs and ovens. But manufacturers did not expect such strong demand, and as a result there have been scenes in many retailers where many people have tried to get their hands on very limited supplies.
Those panic buying do not really play a role in other countries. If you live in the US, you can still pick one up Amazon for $199.95 (opens in new tab).
For UK customers, however, things have been even worse online, as whenever something is in limited stock, the scalpers come in. Things got so bad that Ninja had to warn consumers about fake auction listings and online scalpers. So this deal isn’t just a fair price; it ensures that you don’t also fill a scalper’s pockets.
The only real downside to buying the larger model here is that it’s bigger. That’s great in terms of cooking capacity – especially with the holidays coming up – but it’s quite heavy and bulky, weighing in at nearly 9kg. If that’s a bit much for you, check out our guide to the other Black Friday air fryer deals to see what else is available.
