I got this:

Much more practical.

Ninja is the only airfryer which I think can potentially compete with Philips. Too bad it is not officially available in South Africa and will probably cost around the same pric. Maybe when Amazon is finally here we have more options.

Otherwise I can highly recomend the Sunbeam Bowl Shaped Convection ovens. They not as quick and efficient as the Philips XL or XXL and a bit of a pain to clean, but has a lot of space for a full chicken and veggies.
If you on a tight budget it is worth it!

Lol @ a bit of a pain to clean. Any person that ever washed a oven pan vs a Pyrex dish that was used in the oven will know how much BS you talking. Glass is way easier to clean
 
Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between an air fryer and a convectionnaire?

So far I'm assuming an airfryer is quicker?

I think mostly factor. There is only one Airfryer© though, and that is Philips. The others are Air Fryers, or Convection Ovens. :p

Air Fryers could potentially be quicker, but not necessary. Philips Airfryer is extremely efficient. Apparently the Ninja's as well, but don't get them in SA.

Nope air fryer would not be quicker. They basically the same thing, an air fryer is just a convection oven, just smaller same as your convectionnaire (had to google that name).
Air fryer will have your food more crispy as it blows out a lot of hot air(just like the Philips fans).

The convectionnaire does not blow out that much air and thus moisture stay inside and not as crispy. It however uses less electricity and you can cook bigger and more things inside. Also easier to clean.
 
A few years ago our first airfryer was a Ninja, here in Dallas. Bought a Philips when we returned to SA - what a disappointment it was. At first thought we had a dud, so swapped it out, but there was no diffs to the first one. Pathetic compared to the Ninja. I can do perfect soft-crisp bacon in the Ninja in 7 minutes. After 12 minutes in the Philips we had a half-raw rubbery mess, and it never soft-crisped the bacon properly no matter what the setting or time. Gave it away after six or seven tries to get it to work right. Since going carnivore we use the Ninja almost every day. Prefect NY Strips, Rib-eyes and Sirloins in 8-12 minutes, depending on thickness. Delicious bacon. Such a pleasure.

Philips is finished:

Yes a small fan swirling hot air around is not really effective. Why people turn it into fishtanks etc.

If you're saying convectionnaires aren't effective, you're wrong. If you're not saying that, I'm wrong.

The Philips took exactly twice as long to badly cook rubbery bacon. Gave it away after six or seven tries to get it to work right. Since going carnivore we use the Ninja almost every day.

I wonder why we can't get Ninja's here. Market restrictions?

Competition will be good.
