Why it sits behind the Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7L AF140UK

The Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7L AF140UK (7.9) beats the Tefal Easy Fry Dual XXL EY942 (7.8): the review sites rate both about the same, and it leaves owners a little happier.

About the Tefal Easy Fry Dual XXL EY942

The EY942 has two drawers: a 6.5L one for bigger items and a 4.5L one for sides. Tefal says the large drawer takes a 2kg roast and the small one 1kg of fries, and rates the machine for 8 to 10 people. Total capacity is 11L.

Output is 2700W. The manual temperature range is 40 to 200°C, and there are seven programs: Fries, Chicken, Vegetables, Fish, Dessert, Dehydration and Manual. Synchronised cooking lets the two drawers finish at the same time even when the dishes need different times. Tefal describes the non-stick baskets as dishwasher-safe.

Retailer listings give the size as 45.8cm deep, 38.5cm wide and 33cm high. The power cord is 0.9m with a UK plug. Tefal sells replacement grids and pans separately and says spare parts are available for 15 years or more. Tefal's page does not say what is in the box, so check the listing before you buy.

What owners report about the Tefal Easy Fry Dual XXL EY942

We found little written feedback from owners of this exact grey model. The reviews we could read were on Tefal's shop page for the same appliance in a stainless steel finish (EY942DG1), and there were only a handful.

Those owners like how easy it is to use and clean, and say the large drawer fits a whole chicken. Complaints are about the controls: touch buttons that can be slow to respond, awkward time extension, and frequent warning beeps. Some find it light-feeling and fairly noisy with both drawers running, and the display shows the countdown rather than the temperature. With so few reviews, treat these as hints rather than a settled verdict.

Who the Tefal Easy Fry Dual XXL EY942 suits

It suits a family of four or more that regularly cooks a main and a side at once, or batch cooks for guests. The 6.5L drawer handles a chicken or large tray of food, and the 4.5L drawer takes chips or vegetables.

Look elsewhere if worktop space is tight: at about 46cm deep and 39cm wide it is a big machine. Because the drawers are different sizes, it is awkward to cook two big batches of the same food. For that, the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone AF300UK or the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Dual Basket Air Fryer 9L 27680 have matched drawers. A household of one or two will be better served by the Ninja Air Fryer PRO 4.7L AF140UK.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Most of each score is what the review sites say: the scores their own reviews give each model, and whether their best-of lists name it. For this guide we read BBC Good Food, Expert Reviews, Good Housekeeping UK, T3, TechRadar and Trusted Reviews. The rest is how happy owners are, held back where few owners have rated a product, and how new it is. Value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 19 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
