Salter EK5196GW Dual Air Fryer - Clear Viewing Windows, Dual-View Pro, Healthy Fried Foods, Large 2 Drawer Easy Clean Baskets, 10 Cooking Functions, Family Size, Touch Display, 7.6L Capacity, 1700W

PROS: Quiet, Flexible basket size, Independent controls for each cooking zone, Sync cooking feature, Fits accessories for Ninja machinesCONS: Basket not dishwasher safe, User manual lackingIN DEPTH: I bought this to replace a dual basket air fryer by the leading brand that failed just outside its warranty period. Very pleased with it, in fact I prefer it to the previous one which was a bit unpredictable and sometimes burnt the food unexpectedly.The biggest plus point with the Salter is the flexibility of the large basket with a divider, as opposed to having two separate baskets. This means you can cook e.g. chips at 210 on the left and sausages at 190 on the right, and have them both finish at the same time using the Sync function. Or, you can take the divider out, and roast a whole chicken. I have also cooked a fry up with the divider out and the basket happily took all the ingredients for two people. It's also extremely quiet when in use.I have two silicone baskets and two racks which I bought for the Ninja, and these fit the Salter perfectly with the divider in.One drawback is the user manual which is very basic and doesn't go into a lot of detail. For example, it doesn't specify that you have to use the "Match cook" function if you take the divider out, so that both "sides" function as one. Also, the drawer isn't dishwasher safe, but that isn't a problem for me.CONCLUSION: Thoroughly recommended.REASON FOR RATING: One star taken off for lack of dishwasher safe components and the poor user manual.

I brought this when Electricity prices went high, in the hopes it would save money.What I have found so far is its great for cooking stuff without having to pre-heat the oven. If you are like me, I turn on the oven go do something and it could be 50 min before I remember the oven is on, and by that time the item would have been cooked twice over. So yes has saved me money on Electricity.Easy to use, turn on, select what side you want to use, I click on the manual button and set time and temp and its away it goes. It beeps to tell me when its finishing, so ideal for checking and extending the time if needed. Has programs but I haven't used them at all.I purchased separately some Silicone Tray Liners, which fit fine and can really be scrubbed clean so no worrying about the non stick coating. But if you do chips in it I wouldn't use liners. I actually prefer my Actifry for Chips, I also tried a rack in here which didn't work out well.I like the fact that you can have 2 different items on at the same time, so when my family want different stuff its easy to do, and at times I have cooked a toasty in the Salter AF, and my husband loves them (so making our toasty machine redundant. But I also use Bagette for homemade Pizza base and the family love it, they can have their own choice of toppings- 5 min and its ready to eat.I saw online someone put in grease proof paper as a liner, I tried doing this with a big fail as I left the paper too long, the paper burned and was lucky I was right next to it.OK now down to size, in ways I wish I had brought the other one with one big compartment and not the 2 trays with different temps. Some items I cook are too big for the tray so do still have to use the oven, eg shop brought family size pie, but if you make your own from start just use the correct dish and its great.

This air fryer is brilliant well worth the money has got got two sections and the middle divider comes out then making it one compartmentGood size. Looks smart too in black the windows are brilliant to see the food .Cooks food brilliant. After much reading up about them found it hard to find one with a divider , salter brand excellent .
