I need a new microwave, and have seen a few that are also an air fryer? Anyone have one, is it any good? I currently have a small cheap air fryer (that sees a lot of use) but like the idea of combining 2 devices into 1 to save on worktop clutter.
Sounds like a terrible idea, I often use a combo of air fryer (actually Ninja multi which is way more versatile) in tandem with microwave so wouldn’t ever want to just use one or the other.
As a recent convert to air fryers, but not having had a microwave for years, that sounds like a great idea for the not infrequent times I've forgotten to defrost something for tea.
You might be a beta tester though cord because I've not seen that combination before.
I'd be interested in this too. Mrs P is air curious, but I really really don't want to sacrifice any more worktop space.
I'll have to do some more research, can't seem to find any real reviews from actual humans on the internet. A decent 900W microwave is about £150, air fryer versions about £250. The insides of airfryer combo's seem more complex, which i assume means harder to clean. Obviously not interested in that!!!
Ah, regrettably I have some relevant input. We went that route with our last microwave some time ago, I don't really call the brand.
The air fryer was a little pathetic and put us off so never used it again. Things may be better now but having just got our first separate air fryer I'd encourage you to keep them separate if you have the space
There's 2 models for sale at Argos, one's 200 quid, the other 400 quid, quite a price difference.
The Independent reviewed the more expensive one with a glowing review (made by 'Sage' which is a make I've not heard of before.) but the review was suitably lacking in any sort of detail other than to say its great...typical!
Sage quick touch crisp
Five stars
This is the only model on the list that combines a microwave and air fryer – yes, you read that right – not to mention a grill and convection oven. So while it’s the most expensive, this microwave really is the Swiss army knife of kitchen gadgets. It’s also the most powerful on the list with 900-1,100W of power and a perfectly acceptable 25l capacity. The microwave comes with some recipe ideas, and a digital read-out and manual dials and buttons make it look the part too. This model doesn’t sacrifice style for substance though and has chocolate-melting and butter-melting programmes as well as a “bit more” button, which is sometimes what every microwave user needs.
Thanks for that. It also seems to be at John Lewis with loads of reviews
Sage used to be just expensive coffee machines, but in the last five years have leveraged the brand into other kitchenalia. Can’t say if it’s worth the premium though.
Many reviews on that John Lewis link say the Air Fryer is no good. On that basis, i'm buying a solo microwave!
