Guides and shortlists for compact kitchen appliances. Every recommendation names a specific model, explains which capacity and footprint it suits, and says who should buy something else instead.

Most air fryers are sized for families and American worktops. These four fit under a wall cupboard, cook one or two portions without waste, and differ in ways that matter more than the marketing: basket size, height, weight, controls and whether the drawer can go in the dishwasher.

Same brand, same 28 cm width, same 3.8-litre drawer — one machine has one of them and the other stacks two. The Double Stack is 3.5 cm taller, 8 cm deeper, more than twice the weight and 900 watts hungrier. For two people the question is whether you cook one thing or two at a time; for a small kitchen it is whether the extra height fits under the cupboards.

The Crispi takes the air fryer apart: a 1,700 W heating pod that sits on a glass container, cooks in it, and comes off so you can eat from the container and lid it for the fridge. Two containers come in the box, 1.4 and 3.8 litres, and nothing has to live on the worktop. That is the idea; here is what Ninja's own documents say it weighs, measures and washes, and who the trade-offs suit.

A 1.7-litre kettle in a one-person kitchen boils water nobody drinks. The small kettles below hold half a litre to a litre and a half, fit under a wall cupboard, and — the number that matters most — will switch on with a single mug of water in them. Six compared on capacity, minimum fill, power, height and the filter you will or will not have to clean.

Air fryers are sold by litres, and litres answer neither of the two questions a buyer actually has: how many people does it feed, and will it fit. This guide maps basket volume to portions using the makers' own figures, then shows why a 4-litre machine can be wider than a 9-litre one — with the measurements of four compact models to prove it.
