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.
