Ninja
The manufacturer most associated with dual-basket air frying in the UK market. AirfryerHQ has no affiliation with the company.
AirfryerHQ is an independent information site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any appliance manufacturer. Product and brand names are used descriptively to identify appliances readers own, and belong to their respective owners.
About the company
A large kitchen-appliance manufacturer whose air-frying range spans single-basket, dual-basket, multicooker and oven-style products. Model numbering is market-specific: UK identifiers commonly carry a UK suffix and do not correspond to the same product elsewhere. Three of its UK manuals were read for this catalogue, with the separate chart guides two of them refer to.
Also trading as: SharkNinja Europe Limited, SharkNinja Operating LLC
Model numbering
UK model identifiers typically end in UK. The same nominal product often carries a different identifier in the US and in the EU, and specifications may differ with it.
Finding your manual
Manuals are published on the manufacturer's support site, indexed by the model identifier printed on the rating plate. When we tried it, that portal redirected to an authentication gate for automated requests; the manuals read here were the copies Argos publishes for the products it sells, which are the same documents and identify their own revision.
AirfryerHQ does not host or reproduce manufacturer documentation, and does not link to support pages whose addresses we have not confirmed. A broken confident link is worse than an accurate instruction.
How these models differ
3 models are held, across 2 kinds of machine. Each row is what that model’s own manual or specification prints, so a blank is the manufacturer’s silence and not a zero. The last two columns are the ones that differ most between siblings: settings one model has and the others do not, and what each manual says may go in a dishwasher.
