Black Friday is coming up at the end of the month on Friday 29 November and we've found the best early deals.

When it comes to kitchen appliances, Ninja is one of the biggest names in the business. The brand has secured itself as one of the most popular in the UK with its viral products like the Ninja Creami, not to mention air fryers – which can be so popular that we've seen sale numbers limited to two per customer on a number of them.

Our experts have tested a number of Ninja's products across criteria including sustainability, value for money, ease of use and cooking results. The products regularly impress. Ninja's commitment to recyclable packaging is particularly impressive, which is sadly fairly unusual among its competitors.

Ninja products can be fairly pricey.

Black Friday Ninja UK air fryer deals 2024

Ninja air fryer Max AF160UK

Ninja air-fryer MAX product image with olive accreditation badge

Best air fryer for quick baking

Star rating: 5/5

Boasting six useful cooking functions including air-fry, roast and dehydrate, this model impressed us most after testing out the baking function; we enjoyed a well-baked, nicely risen cake. But even if you're not looking for a model to bake in, the AF160UK excelled in other areas, such as roasting a whole, small chicken and producing great chips. The control panel is simple to navigate and audible notifications guide you through the entire cooking process.

Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L air fryer SL400UK

best Ninja air-fryers

Best stackable Ninja air fryer

Star rating: 5/5

This is the first stackable air fryer from Ninja with two drawers for maximum capacity but a small footprint so it won't take over your kitchen. Unlike many other models this air fryer also comes with additional stainless steel drawer inserts which essentially doubles the capacity of the air fryer as you can stack two layers of food within each drawer.

On test, we were really impressed that although the drawers are stacked on top of each other, there was no smell or taste transfer when we cooked a salmon fillet in one and some brownies in the other.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer AF300UK

Ninja dual zone air fryer AF300UK product image with olive accreditation badge

Best for cooking a complete meal in one

Star rating: 5/5

Almost completely ready to use straight out of the box, the Dual Zone AF300UK makes for a striking piece of kit on the kitchen counter. A clear and concise instruction manual accompanies this model, and while you'll be able to complete basic air-frying tasks with ease, setting up the ever-so-useful sync function (programme both drawers to finish cooking at the same time) does require some assistance from the manual. From duck breast to chips and sausages, we were thoroughly impressed by the results of all our test recipes.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone air fryer AF400UK

Ninja dual zone air fryer AF400UK product image with olive accreditation badge

Best air fryer for families

Star rating: 5/5

This dual-drawer model can also be programmed so different foods finish cooking at the same time. If you like the sound of the AF300UK, but think its 7.6L capacity may be too small, the AF400UK boasts a spacious 9.5L capacity, so is great for larger households. The cooking results were impressive, whether it was chicken, fish or veggies, everything was browned evenly and stayed moist. We noticed no transfer of smell or flavour between baskets, meaning you could happily cook dinner and dessert in this air fryer.

Ninja Foodi MAX Health grill and air fryer AG551UK

Ninja air fryer health gril AF551UK

Star rating: 5/5

Similar to other health grills from Ninja, this model has the feel of a pizza oven with a lid that opens upwards. As well as air-frying and grilling, it offers great versatility with the ability to bake, roast, dehydrate and reheat. To test the air-frying function we cooked chips which, despite having no oil, were crisp and fluffy. We tried the grill function with courgette which had attractive grill lines and didn't stick despite the lack of oil. It comes with a cooking probe to help you ensure perfectly cooked joints of meat. We used this when cooking a whole chicken which took 40 minutes and was juicy, retaining a good amount of moisture.

Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7-litre AF140UK

best small air-fryer UK

Star rating: 4.5/5

Ideal for single or two-person households, this air fryer has one drawer with a 4.7-litre capacity. We liked the look of it straight out of the box with a matte black body and silver features and a sleek control panel. This model is super powerful compared to other Ninja models we've tested, at times verging on the ferocious.

We had to reduce the cooking time and temperatures of several of our ingredients to avoid them burning, but once we'd got the hang of it our aubergine was moist and tender while our halloumi was golden with a delicious gooey texture.

Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone air fryer AF451UK

Ninja dual zone air fryer product image with olive accreditation badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

As with other Dual Zone air fryers, the height and footprint of this model demands a good amount of real estate on a countertop. It has a large capacity making it a great option for catering to a crowd, a large household, or if you prefer to cook multiple dishes in your air fryer simultaneously. It also has a cooking probe included, which we found helpful in cooking our chicken breast on test, although it did take a while to get used to the functions of the probe.

Ninja Foodi Health grill and air fryer AG301UK

Ninja air fryer health grill AF301UK product image with olive accreditation badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

The versatile AG301UK not only air-fries, but it doubles as a health grill, too. Design-wise, it's unlike many of the other air fryers we've tested; rather than having a pull-out drawer or an oven-style opening, ingredients are placed inside after lifting the lid. Generally, this model cooked food well: it browned evenly and particularly excelled when cooking chicken, salmon and halloumi. We loved the extra features like the progress bar to indicate the preheating time and intuitive controls.

Ninja Foodi MAX Pro Health grill, flat plate and air fryer AG651UK

Ninja health grill and air-fryer product image with accreditation badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

With seven cooking functions to explore, the ultra versatile AG651UK allows you to grill, griddle (flat plate), bake roast, air-fry and much more. It's not got a small footprint, but considering the wealth of cooking tasks it can complete, this comes as no real surprise. The control panel is intuitive, but you'll need to consult the manual when assembling. Our test recipes cooked well on the whole and we particularly liked the even and defined grill lines imparted onto our halloumi, though we found the temperature probe a little unreliable when cooking chicken.

Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK

Ninja AF100UK air fryer product image with olive accreditation badge

Star rating: 4/5

This is one of the first air fryers Ninja released in the UK and looks very typical of a single-drawer, round air fryer. At 3.2L, the basket is sturdy and holds up to the model's four pre-set functions to roast, dehydrate, reheat and air-fry. As the machine is at the more affordable end of Ninja's air fryer offerings (that's before any savings), it lacks some of the bells and whistles you'll find on pricier models, but it does the basics really well. On test, we were impressed by the dehydrating function as well as the air-frying function which produced evenly cooked chips and satisfyingly intense roasted vegetables.

Black Friday Ninja UK blender deals 2024

Ninja 3-in-1 food processor with Auto IQ BN800UK

Ninja food processor product imager with accreditation badge

Best intuitive food processor

Star rating: 5/5

If versatility is a priority for you when it comes to kitchen appliances, this offering from Ninja is likely to tick a lot of boxes. It comes with a roomy jug for food processing, a sturdy glass blender and a single-serve blender with the capability to complete a number of different functions like sauces and spice mixes. We found this blender super powerful, making its way through all our ingredients in a matter of seconds.

Ninja Blast Cordless Portable Blender BC151UKNV

best portable blender

Star rating: 5/5

This blender is the first portable model from Ninja and comes in a range of attractive colours. It's rechargeable so you can take it on the go, plus has a sip lid and handle which make it easy to carry around.

All you need to do is push the button once to start a 30-second blending cycle, which produced a super-smooth drink. The power impressed us, as did features like the LED light which flashes to indicate different messages, such as when the base and jug aren't properly aligned.

Ninja 2-in-1 Blender with Auto-IQ BN750UK

Ninja 2-in-1 blender Auto IQ product image with olive accreditation badge

Star rating: 4/5

This is a versatile blender designed with daily use in mind. It includes a 700ml individual blender cup which locks directly into the base and can be used with the model's speed settings before being taken on the go. Unlike many other blenders it doesn't come with a plunger, but rather the blade system is strong enough to reach the ingredients at the top and draw them down to be blended. The main drawbacks of this model on test were how loud it is and it's size on the countertop — it's fairly bulky with a large footprint.

Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 10-in-1 Ice Cream and Frozen Drink Maker NC501UK

best ice cream makers

Star rating: 5/5

This is the remodelled version of the viral Ninja Creami ice cream maker and on test we were really impressed with how it performed. It comes with three generously sized tubs so you can make and store multiple ice creams at once. There are a whopping 10 different functions to choose from including ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato and slushie.

We tested Ninja's malt ice cream recipe which had a nicely smooth texture with only the slightest grittiness of ice crystals, which we were impressed by given that you freeze the mixture solid before it's spun by the machine.

Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker 8-in-1 slow cooker

Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker 8-in-1 slow cooker

Star rating: 5/5

This slow cooker has a beautiful matte blue finish and glass lid, but does have a fairly large footprint on the countertop. The 8-litre capacity makes it a great choice for catering for a crowd, plus the removable pot with stay-cool handles means you can take it straight to the dining table. The number of functions on offer makes this a very user-friendly slow cooker, with functions for searing, sautéing, simmering, braising and more.

Ninja ZEROSTICK three-piece pan set C33000UK

Ninja zerostick pan set product image with accreditation badge

Best pan set

Star rating: 5/5

A set of good non-stick pans is a staple in the kitchen and this trio impressed from the off during testing. Each pan has a nice weight to it without being too heavy to carry with one hand from the hob to the sink, and the long slender handles make the pans very comfortable to hold. They're dishwasher safe which makes the washing up a breeze, plus can go in the oven up to 260C.

Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 multi-cooker OP350UK

Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 multicooker OP350UK product image with badge

Star rating: 5/5

Like many Ninja appliances that we've tried, this model is super user-friendly with a dial which turns to select one of the nine pre-set cooking functions. These include slow cooking, grilling, air-crisping, dehydrating and pressure cooking, making it a versatile piece of kit. It looks impressive straight out of the box, and comes with a set of guides and instructions which will put you at ease even if you haven't used a multi-cooker before.

Ninja Woodfire electric BBQ grill and smoker OG701UK

Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill Smoker OG701UK product image with badge

Star rating: 5/5

This barbecue from Ninja is a great example of its innovative technology. It's powered by electricity, but has an integrated smoker box that burns wood pellets to add a smoky flavour to food – without using charcoal, gas or open flames. If it's versatility that you're after, this machine is sure to impress with seven functions that include grill, air-fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, reheat and smoke. Temperatures can reach up to 260C and there's also an in-built timer and non-slip feet to keep it steady.

Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Maker NC300UK

Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Maker NC300UK

Best high-tech ice cream maker

Star rating: 4.5/5

The Ninja Creami is an ice cream maker with a difference. Where most ice cream makers work by churning and freezing the mixture simultaneously, this model requires you to freeze the ice cream base first before putting it in the machine. It then uses powerful blades to shave the frozen mixture and churn it together. We found this produced a smooth, creamy ice cream.

This model has gained something of a cult status in the last year, and on test we definitely understood the hype around it. It's pretty unusual to see the Ninja Creami on sale, so if you've got your eye on one, we'd recommend acting fast.

Ninja Speedi 10-in-1 Rapid Cooker and air fryer ON400UK

Ninja Speedi multicooker product image with olive accreditation badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

The Ninja Speedi is a multi-cooker with the capability to steam, bake, slow cook, roast, dehydrate, air-fry and more. If you're interested in air-frying but want to prioritise versatility this could be a really good option. The internal tray means you can cook in two layers inside the machine, essentially doubling the capacity of its 5.7L pot. To air-fry, the tray needs to sit on the base of the pot before you can use it as a normal air fryer, or to air-fry elements before incorporating them in the rest of a dish.

Ninja Foodi MAX 15-in-1 SmartLid multi-cooker with Smart Cook System 7.5L OL750UK

Ninja Foodi MAX 15-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker with Smart Cook System 7.5L OL750UK product image with accreditation badge

Best air fryer multi-cooker

Star rating: 4.5/5

With a single lid and 15 pre-set functions this model of multi-cooker leaves behind many of the difficult eccentricities of older models. The result is a versatile and yet streamlined appliance which performed well on test. We used the sear function for the vegetables and meat for our beef stew before using the slow cooking function, which produced a rich stew with nicely rendered fat.

Ninja Extended Life ceramic 30cm frying pan CW90030UK

Ninja Extended Life ceramic 30cm frying pan CW90030UK

Star rating: 4.5/5

A ceramic coating is a type of non-stick coating that's growing in popularity and is utilised here to good effect. The high, slightly rounded sides makes it great for tossing ingredients and there's a comfortable long handle, although we did find it slightly unstable when using on a gas hob. The pan heated quickly and was responsive to temperature changes, evenly distributing heat over the surface without any hot spots.

The pan is available in a range of sizes: 20cm, 24cm, 28cm and 30cm.

Ninja Woodfire electric outdoor oven OO101UK

Ninja Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven OO101UK

Star rating: 4/5

While different from many pizza ovens we've tested, this is a versatile model with features for barbecuing and smoking as well as cooking pizzas. Although a little boxy in design the pizza oven is well built, with an attractive and easy to use control panel. There are six different pizza settings on offer: artisan, thin, pan, New York, frozen, and custom. Since the oven is entirely electric, it lacks the open flame which usually gives leopard spotting to a pizza crust so our pizzas were a little pale, but they still tasted great.

How to use a Ninja air fryer

Air fryers have certainly been the 'it' kitchen appliance of the last year. But with so much discussion around them, do you really need one?

Air fryers work by circulating hot air to give foods a 'fried' finish but with a fraction of the amount of oil used for deep fat frying. They have excellent energy efficiency credentials, plus are great if you live in a smaller household and want to cook without turning on the oven.

If you're after versatility, an air fryer could also be a really good option. After a quick three minutes of pre-heating, Ninja's air fryers can reheat, bake, dehydrate, max crisp and roast. The pre-sets available will vary depending which model of air fryer you choose, but you can use your air fryer to cook everything from halloumi fries to brownies.

For more inspiration, check out our comprehensive guide to the best Ninja air fryers.

How to get a good Black Friday deal on Ninja products

Ninja is one of the biggest brands when it comes to small kitchen appliances, and it releases new products on a regular basis. So whether it's a blender, food processor, air fryer or a different appliance you've got your eye on, you're more likely to find a good saving on a slightly older model, as the latest releases are rarely included in sales periods.

Other important factors to consider when looking for a good deal include precisely how you'd like to use the appliance. Some work well for one specific function, while others have been made with versatility in mind and can complete a number of functions to a high quality. However, buying a 'versatile' appliance is only going to give you true value for money if you regularly use all of its functions, especially as these are the appliances which tend to have a higher cost attached to them.

How do we select Black Friday deals?

Our expert reviews team have years of experience working the biggest annual sales events to find the best deals. Throughout the year, we test and review dozens of products across different categories, and look to find deals on appliances we found impressive during testing.

There are a number of different things we look out for when selecting deals, like how much money the deal is saving and how much this is as a percentage of the original price — the best deals tend to be from 20 per cent off and upwards.

Another important factor is the retailer where the deal is being listed. We advise that you only buy from retailers which your recognise and trust. Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
