Ninja AF100EU: the air fryer without preheating with dehydrator function

Prices in euros from Amazon.de, as of 11 June 2026. Prices and availability may differ on Amazon.co.uk.

By Seydhan Cakmak · Editor-in-chief · Updated: · AI-translated from the German original

Preheating takes 3 to 5 minutes on many air fryers, but the Ninja AF100EU starts immediately. With 3.8 litres it delivers up to four portions or 900 g of chips, and as a 6-in-1 device it can not only fry but also roast, grill, bake, reheat and even dehydrate. That makes it a robust, versatile and practical everyday air fryer.

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Ninja Air Fryer AF100EU in everyday use: no preheating needed (ready instantly, saves time with every cook) and dehydrator function (makes dried fruit, vegetable chips and beef jerky). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: 1,500 W, higher output, more electricity than the economy models.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Ninja Air Fryer AF100EU (Max 6-in-1): no preheating needed and dehydrator function, and the trade-off is 1,500 W. At 8.5/10 a safe choice from €65.”

Frequently asked questions about the Ninja Air Fryer AF100EU

Which air fryer needs no preheating?
The Ninja AF100EU is explicitly designed to start immediately without preheating. That saves the usual 3 to 5 minutes of heat-up time with every cook. Small models like the COSORI Lite Mini also need no preheating for small portions.
What does the dehydrator function mean?
When dehydrating, the Ninja works at low temperature over several hours and draws moisture out of food. That produces apple rings, vegetable chips or beef jerky without additives, a feature many cheaper air fryers do not have.
How many people is the Ninja AF100EU enough for?
3.8 litres hold up to 900 g of chips or four side-dish portions, good for 2 to 4 people. For one person alone it is slightly oversized; a 2 litre mini is enough there.
Is the Ninja AF100EU loud?
At an estimated 55 dB or so it is in the normal range for air fryers, audible but not disturbing. If you want maximum quiet, go for the COSORI Lite Mini (under 48 dB).
