We're keeping track of all the best Black Friday deals so you don't miss anything in advance of the big day. We're finding everything from air fryers to soundbars to laptops, so hopefully there will be plenty of deals to tickle your fancy.
I'm already seeing some major deals on brands like Ninja and Breville. As we get closer to the end of the month, I'm hoping more brands will lower their prices.
However, I've already found one of the best Black Friday deals: the Ninja Pro XL 6-in-1 air fryer, now 50% off on Amazon — that makes it just $89. This is the Ninja Pro XL 6-in-1's lowest-ever price, so I'd grab this before the deal comes to an end.
The Ninja Pro XL 6-in-1 air fryer does everything you need an air fryer to. It cooks, it crisps, it bakes. It's the ideal first air fryer because it does utterly everything you could want. As someone who's used a lot of Ninja tech, I can also say with confidence that it's intuitive and easy to use. Ninja never lets you down.
The Ninja Pro XL 6-in-1 air fryer is one of the most beginner-friendly air fryers I've ever seen. It's got six cooking modes, including: Max Crisp, Air Fry, Air Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. Yes, you can dehydrate food in this air fryer. If my air fryer could dehydrate, I'd be making fruit leather like there's no tomorrow.
Although I tend not to use the cooking modes on my air fryer, Ninja's "Max Crisp" setting is actually really useful. This mode increases the temperature to 450°F to give your food that satisfying deep-fried-but-not-deep-fried crunch. Many of the best air fryers need this feature to be really effective, you know?
Another pro is the size. As it has a massive 6.5QT-capacity, the Pro XL 6-in-1 is ideal for big families. You can cook up to nine pounds of chicken wings in one go — simple math says that's approximately 50 wings. I don't know about you, but that's more than enough to feed my family.
You might think a 6.5QT air fryer would be an utter behemoth, but it's actually only 11 inches wide. For comparison, my Philips 2000 Series Air Fryer is 12 inches wide, and it fits perfectly in my compact kitchen. I never think it looks too big.
Ninja is famous for its air fryers for a reason — they're of such high quality. My parents own a Ninja air fryer, and every time I visit, I get told how good it is and how much they love it. If you've ever owned a Ninja kitchen appliance, you'll know what I'm talking about. And the cute little beeping sounds it makes when it's finished? Chef's kiss.
