I'll have you know that not one but two HuffPost audience editors have and recommend this Ninja air fryer, both saying they found it recommended on our site.

Our Place Wonder Oven
Shopping writer Tessa Flores says she was mainly drawn to the Wonder Oven "because it looks so good and was an appliance I would actually enjoy displaying on my kitchen shelf." After finally making the purchase plunge, she confirms the performance matches the appearance. "It makes toast to perfection, crips items perfectly on the air fryer setting (just make sure there's none of the included cooking trays beneath the air fryer tray) and reheats leftovers incredibly fast. There's literally no warm-up time compared to a traditional oven."
This stylish, compact electric oven can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat and broil. It can hold up to a 4.5-pound chicken and can cook food on different levels, letting you cook on two trays at once. You can get it in four pretty color options.

A 7-in-1 Cuisinart air fryer and convection toaster oven
Another multi-faceted toaster oven and air fryer, shopping write Erica Kam likes this 7-in-1 option from Cuisinart. "I’m a novice cook and this thing makes sure I get fed most of the time," she said. "I can reheat leftovers, heat up frozen meals and even hardboil eggs with just a few twists of the dials. It’s also so convenient for smaller portions and limited counter space. As someone living in a tiny studio apartment, I probably would’ve passed on a separate air fryer if I had just bought a toaster oven, so I love that this does it all."
This babe can air fry, toast, bake, broil and warm. The brand says it's whisper-quiet with a non-stick, easy-clean interior. It's big enough to toast six slices of bread, three pounds of chicken wings, a 12-inch pizza or a 4-pound chicken at a time.
Heads up: Erica's recommended model is still available for sale currently but it's discontinued. That said, Cuisinart makes an updated model that we also want to put on your radar. Bonus: It's on sale right now!

A lavender air fryer from Drew Barrymore's Walmart collection
Another drool-worthy option is this six-quart bucket fryer, recommended by HuffPost editor Lindsay Holmes from Drew Barrymore's home goods collection, Beautiful. "It's powerful, a great size, affordable and perhaps best of all aesthetically pleasing enough to be a fixture on my kitchen counter," said Holmes.
Noting that her last air fryer was bulky, loud and a "pain" to drag in and out of her cabinet, she says this one is big enough to cook everything she needs, without dominating the kitchen. It also lives happily out on display.
This modern, touch-screen option can air fry, roast, reheat or dehydrate. It comes in a bunch of fun colors and can make up to two pounds of French fries.

A Ninja 5-in-1 indoor electric grill and air fryer
Growth strategist Adam Schubak swears by this "indoor electric grill" that also works as an air fryer. "When I say that this product changed my life, it's not an exaggeration," he said.

I can't remember the last time I prepared a meal that didn't utilize my Ninja Foodi in some capacity."
If you like the sear and sizzle of food on the grill, this option gives you all of that safely indoors. The 5-in-1 design has a 4-quart crisper basket that can also bake, roast and dehydrate your food.

This option from Toshiba can microwave, air fry, bake, broil and defrost. It has a 12.4-inch removable turntable that can fit a 12-inch pizza.
