Best Air Fryers Under £100 in the UK (2026)

Who this is for

Buyers comparing single-drawer air fryers with a £100 ceiling who want to choose by portion size and useful controls. Check the current retailer total before ordering; prices may have changed since the dated checks below.

Who this is not for

Buyers who need two independently controlled drawers or a guaranteed fit in a tight cupboard. None of these four models provides two drawers, and the conflicting Ninja measurements need retailer confirmation before a space-sensitive purchase.

Start with portions, then controls

For one or two people who want a straightforward 4.7 L drawer, start with Ninja AF110UK. Its listed functions are Air Fry, Dehydrate and Reheat. Choose Ninja AF140UKBRN instead only if its additional Roast function is useful to your cooking routine; both models already include Dehydrate.

If basket capacity matters more, compare Philips NA130/09 at 6.2 L with Bosch MAF462B0GB at 6.1 L. Neither provides two independently controlled drawers. Litres do not establish how much food can be arranged in a single layer, so check the usable basket dimensions and your usual portions.

Four choices and their trade-offs

Ninja AF110UK: simpler three-function controls

Its 4.7 L drawer and three named functions make this the starting choice for a simpler routine. The manufacturer lists a drawer and crisper plate. The compromise is less basket capacity than the Philips and Bosch choices and no separately listed Roast function.

Before buying, confirm the exact AF110UK model, supplied parts, cleaning instructions and delivered total. Do not assume a compact footprint from its capacity alone.

Philips NA130/09: larger single-basket capacity

Its manufacturer lists a 6.2 L basket and 12 programmes. This is worth comparing when a larger single batch matters more than having two independently timed cooking areas.

The listed depth is 403 mm, so measure the worktop and the manufacturer’s required clearances. One basket cannot cook two dishes at different settings simultaneously. Product details are available here, but we do not offer a retailer button for this model.

Bosch MAF462B0GB: named-programme alternative

Its 6.1 L basket and nine named programmes offer another larger single-drawer option. Compare those programmes with meals you actually prepare rather than choosing by programme count alone.

The manufacturer gives a noise figure of 63 dB(A); this does not establish how loud it will seem in your kitchen. The dated price check was close to the £100 ceiling, making a final delivered-price check especially important. Product details remain available without a retailer button.

Ninja AF140UKBRN: add Roast

This model lists Air Fry, Roast, Dehydrate and Reheat, with a 4.7 L drawer and a maximum setting of 210 °C. Roast is the additional named function compared with AF110UK—not Dehydrate.

It does not offer a larger drawer class than AF110UK. Choose it for a useful control difference, not an assumed capacity, width or weight advantage.

Ninja size and weight checks

Manufacturer pages checked on 9 September disagree on dimensions and weight for AF110UK and AF140UKBRN. We omit those figures and do not claim either is narrower or lighter. Confirm exact model measurements and ventilation clearance with the manufacturer before choosing for a tight worktop.

Price and retailer options

All four exact models had a separately checked UK cash price at or below £100 on 9 September. Those are dated observations, not permanent prices or stock guarantees. Check the current product price, delivery charge, condition and returns before paying; an expired offer may put a model outside your budget.

The two Ninja retailer buttons may earn UK Shortlists a commission after a qualifying purchase, at no extra cost to you. Philips and Bosch have no commission-paying retailer button here; their product details and source citations support the comparison. Product order follows buyer needs and documented differences, not commission size.

What would change the recommendation

Choose a larger basket if your normal portions cannot fit the 4.7 L drawer comfortably. Consider a dual-basket model if two dishes need independent time or temperature settings. If counter clearance is the deciding constraint, obtain confirmed measurements before selecting either Ninja.

A product that no longer fits the £100 delivered budget is not the right choice for a strict cap. Keeping a suitable existing oven may be preferable if these single-basket formats do not solve a recurring cooking need.

Known limitations

This comparison uses manufacturer information and dated retailer checks. UK Shortlists has not cooked with these appliances or measured food results, household noise, energy consumption, safety, durability or reliability. Programme names and basket capacity cannot establish those outcomes.

Check the exact model code, UK plug, basket dimensions, ventilation space, removable parts, dishwasher instructions, warranty registration, delivery and returns. Independent cooking comparisons may help if food results are your deciding factor.
