Ninja/Air friers
Thinking of getting one these new fangled things for the Motorhome but i see they seem to be 2300w or 2400w which is fine on a 16amp site EHU but not so good for a 10amp site EHU :-(
Anyone any recommendations on what they use that won't trip the EHU?
Thanks in advance
Pete.

As a 16amp hook up gives around 3500w, you’d need your be very careful what else you had turned on at the same time.

We got one when our kitchen was being done and yes they are fantastic, especially the one that fries, and can be a pressure cooker (and 14 other ways) too.
But they are very heavy, over 11kg as well as being power hungry.
We use an electric hotplate/frying deep pan with lid, when I say we I mean Mrs C.

Absolute game changer - with gas prices sky rocketing the air frier is a brilliant alternative. Reduced from 2 gas bottles to one and removed the cadac. Now we use the air frier for everything from cheese toasties to chicken dinner.

+1, roast chicken is super succulent & quick-money & time saver. What’s not to like👍🏻

Home and away, we use this Ninja, so versatile and don’t use gas oven now. Fast and efficient. Fabulous supply of recipes on the internet. Brilliant for cooking outside too..

It bothers me where this would live given the dimensions of the various models I have looked at. For me, when on site, I think it would have to sit permanently on top of the hob. Apart from the dinette table, I do not have enough clear workspace anywhere else. I can't see that this would be workable.
I have been tempted by these though; so where do others put them when on site? Perhaps you have lots of workspace?

Ours travels and is stored in the bottom of the wardrobe. See previous post for model. Use it outside, if raining then under sun canopy as I would another outdoor cooker. It would sit on the glass top of the hob for use inside but have never needed to. Fabulous piece of equipment as said for both home and away. Did a spatchcock chicken with roasted trimmings yesterday, juicy and just big enough for two portions. Always trying out new recipes found on dedicated websites, all good.

Thanks for all the replies and advice.
As we'll be on a 10amp site soon then we've decided go for the lowest wattage we could but ended up with two appliances...Tower 1.5ltr compact air fryer (900w) and a Salter grill and panini maker (750w).
We'll find out how they fair in a couple of weeks :-)

I'm late to this one. I was going to suggest a Remoska to which I was converted about 12 years ago.
We are away for 5 weeks in France & NL with 10 amps the norm. The gas has only been on for my coffee pot. We use the Remoska and an induction hob for everything. If it is hot the hob goes outside. I cannot recall when I last used the Cadac.
This switch to electric has even got me thinking about a new van. If I swapped to a "normal" van it could be an electric only Knaus Sport E Power.

I've got a pure sine wave inverter 4000/8000 ,but my ninja trips it. Someone was saying that I might need 2 new leisure batteries? Does anyone have any idea of what might be the problem please. Tia

Quite possibly the starting surge. I doubt that your ninja is a soft start device.
Whether your batteries need replacing depends on many things but standard lead acid aren't really designed to supply high wattage items through such a large inverter and will quickly deteriorate if used that way.
If you want to get the best from such a large inverter you could instal Lithium batteries but that may also require a lot of other quite expensive changes to your electrical system.

Bit late to the party here! For just the two of us the Salter EK2817H 2L Compact Air Fryer (£30 off amazon) is a real godsend. Chicken etc comes out lovely, not so good on chips! But the 2L capacity is ample for 2 of us & it doesn't take up much room storage wise. Never had a problem with popping fuses even when used with low watt kettle. Recommended.
