I'm a shopping expert and my top pick from Ninja's early Black Friday sale saves you £80

Black Friday might not officially be until the end of the month, but kitchen gadget brand Ninja are treating shoppers to early discounts as the retailer has already launched some impressive deals across their site. 

Ninja are highly praised for their air fryers and if you're in the market for an upgrade or haven't got your hands on one yet, now is a great time to take advantage of the sales event. As a shopping writer, I've scoured the Ninja website for the best deals and a limited edition double-basket model under £190 has caught my eye. 

Saving shoppers £80, the Ninja Deluxe Black & Copper Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer with Smart Cook System was £269.99 but has been cut to £189.99. That price includes the air fryer itself, silicone tongs, apron, two non-stick crisper plates, one digital cooking probe and a recipe guide. 

The stylish air fryer can easily feed eight people with an extra large capacity - ideal if you plan on hosting festive celebrations for family and friends.

You don't have to be tech savvy to use it as the Dual Zone Air Fryer does the timing for you with a simple sync feature. You can cook two different dishes with different temperatures, times and settings in in the separate cooking drawers – and have both ready to serve at exactly the same time. 

Ninja also promises that it uses up to 75% less fat than traditional methods and you can save up to 65% off your energy costs as you won't be heating an entire oven. 

Racking up an overall rating of 4.8 out of five stars by nearly 3,000 reviews, the feedback recieved is mainly high praise. After purchasing the Ninja air fryer, many people say they 'barely use their conventional oven' and it's the 'best thing ever bought for the home'. 

One person said: "Fabulous kitchen appliance, quality made, dead easy to clean and cooks everything so evenly and definitely taste better. We have four in our family now, great for a decent Xmas present for those you love." 

Another happy customer wrote: "The Ninja Foodi Max is the best thing ever, quick to cook the food but also uses less electricity which is a bonus, the food always comes out lovely, never dry just cooked to perfection." 

However, someone else noted that it 'takes a bit of trial and error to get used to cooking different foods exactly as you want them', so you might want to experiment a few times before hosting.
