The shortlist
Four options, with the trade-offs visible
Use the fit, limitations and checkout checks before opening a retailer page. Confirm the current price, stock, delivery and returns with the retailer.
Pick 1
First comparison point
Simpler three-function workflow
Ninja Air Fryer 4.7L AF110UK
AF110UK is the starting comparison when a 4.7 L single drawer and Air Fry, Dehydrate and Reheat cover the routine. Capacity does not prove counter fit.
Highlights
- Choose AF110UK when a 4.7 L single drawer and three clearly listed functions are enough; its simpler role matters more here than feature count.
Drawbacks
- Its 4.7 L drawer and three-function control set are less flexible than the larger Philips, Bosch and four-function Ninja alternatives.
Buyer fit
Best for
- Best simpler three-function workflow
Not for you if
- Its 4.7 L drawer and three-function control set are less flexible than the larger Philips, Bosch and four-function Ninja alternatives.
Check before buying
- Confirm exact AF110UK, current cash price, stock, dimensions, ventilation clearances, supplied parts, cleaning steps, UK plug, warranty, delivery and returns.
Pick 2
Larger single-basket option
Philips 1000 Series Airfryer NA130/09
NA130/09 has a listed 6.2 L single basket and 12 programmes. Its 403 mm listed depth makes an exact counter check important; there is no eligible buying button here.
Highlights
- Choose NA130/09 when a larger 6.2 L single basket and 12 listed programmes are more useful than a second independently controlled drawer.
Drawbacks
- One basket cannot run two different time or temperature settings, and its 403 mm listed depth still needs measuring against the worktop.
Buyer fit

- Best larger single-basket routine
Not for you if
- One basket cannot run two different time or temperature settings, and its 403 mm listed depth still needs measuring against the worktop.
Check before buying
- Confirm exact NA130/09, current cash price, stock, dimensions, ventilation clearances, supplied parts, cleaning steps, UK plug, warranty, delivery and returns.
Pick 3
Named-programme alternative
Bosch Air Fryer MAF462B0GB
MAF462B0GB combines a listed 6.1 L basket with nine named programmes. Compare its exact footprint; there is no eligible buying button here.
Highlights
- Choose MAF462B0GB when its nine named programmes and 6.1 L basket fit the routine; it is the closest current model to the £100 ceiling in this cohort.
Drawbacks
- The 63 dB(A) manufacturer figure is not a UK Shortlists noise test, and the exact current price must be rechecked before checkout.

Check before buying
- Confirm exact MAF462B0GB, current cash price, stock, dimensions, ventilation clearances, supplied parts, cleaning steps, UK plug, warranty, delivery and returns.
Pick 4
Four-function alternative
Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7L AF140UKBRN
AF140UKBRN adds Roast to Air Fry, Dehydrate and Reheat in a listed 4.7 L format. Conflicting source dimensions prevent a narrower-than-AF110UK claim.
Highlights
- Choose AF140UKBRN when Roast is useful alongside Air Fry, Dehydrate and Reheat; the manufacturer dimensions do not establish a reliable width comparison with AF110UK.
Drawbacks
- It shares the same 4.7 L drawer class as AF110UK. Confirm exact dimensions and weight with the manufacturer because its product-page sections disagree.

Detailed buyer guidance
Start with worktop fit
All four choices use one drawer, but their external dimensions and clearance needs differ. Measure the worktop and leave room to remove a hot basket safely. Capacity is not a footprint measurement.
Start with AF110UK when its three named functions cover the routine. Compare AF140UKBRN when Roast is genuinely useful. Source pages disagree on some Ninja size figures, so neither is called narrower. Philips NA130/09 and Bosch MAF462B0GB offer larger listed single baskets; compare their depth, handling and cleaning needs.
Only AF110UK and AF140UKBRN have current exact commission-paying actions through the joined SharkNinja Awin programme. Philips and Bosch remain evidence-backed editorial choices without unpaid retailer buttons.
What would change the recommendation
A corrected exact-model dimension, a price above the route cap, a changed purchase state or a different normal batch requirement can change the starting choice.
Known limitations
This is desk research. Recheck the exact model, delivered cash price, stock, electrical details, included parts, warranty and returns before ordering.
How we chose
The checks behind the four picks
Each configuration has official identity, approved imagery and dated under-£100 purchase evidence. Compact means single-drawer here, not a guaranteed small footprint.
- Step 1: Exact current configuration
- Step 2: Dated under-£100 eligibility
- Step 3: Single-drawer capacity
- Step 4: Controls
- Step 5: Counter and cleaning checks
- Step 6: Commission-independent order
