Tefal vs Ninja Air Fryer Comparison: Which Offers Better Value?
Today, we're diving into another air fryer comparison. On the left, we have the T-fal 4.2 L air fryer, and on the right, the Ninja 3.8 L air fryer. While the T-fal is slightly larger, the difference in size is minimal. I'll be taking them out shortly to compare them side by side.
Key Specifications
- Weight: The T-fal weighs 5.2 kg, while the Ninja is lighter at 4.4 kg. The T-fal feels sturdier.
- Temperature Range: The T-fal ranges from 80°C to 200°C, and the Ninja from 40°C to 210°C, offering a broader temperature variety.
- Power: The T-fal uses 1400 Watts, and the Ninja uses 1550 Watts.
- Price: The T-fal is priced at £69, significantly cheaper than the Ninja at £150. The T-fal features manual dials, while the Ninja has a digital interface.
T-fal Air Fryer Features
Let's take a closer look at the T-fal. It has cooking guides on top for various foods:
- Fries/Chips: 200°C for 20 minutes
- Chicken: 200°C for 60 minutes
- Roast Chicken, Steak, Fish, Cakes: Various settings
The temperature control is manual and slightly stiff, but it may loosen over time. There's also a manual timer.
Ninja Air Fryer Features
Now, onto the Ninja. It has a simple on/off switch and lights up when plugged in. There are four basic settings:
- Air Fry
- Reheat
- Roast
- Dehydrate
Cooking guides on the side suggest:
- Chicken: 200°C for 20-25 minutes
- Fries: 180°C for 20-25 minutes
To start, choose a setting, adjust the temperature and time, and press start/stop.
Cooking Test
I’m doing a simple cooking test with burgers and chips. Let's start with the T-fal:
- T-fal: Set to 180°C for 11 minutes
- Ninja: Also set to 180°C for 11 minutes
After 11 minutes, both air fryers show great results. The burgers are sizzling, and the chips are nicely cooked. Upon closer inspection:
- T-fal Burger: Perfectly cooked, slightly drier than the Ninja
- Ninja Burger: Juicy and well-cooked
Both air fryers produced delicious chips, though the T-fal seemed to crisp them better.
Conclusion
Both air fryers performed excellently. The Ninja is a reputable brand with great features, but the T-fal offers incredible value at £69. If you're on a budget, the T-fal is a fantastic choice.
