Our verdict · A no-frills 4L digital compact for two that undercuts the big names, if you can live without app control.
Buy it if
You want a full-size 4L compact with plenty of presets from a familiar UK brand, and you would rather save money than pay for app control.
Skip it if
You want app control, the highest crisping temperatures, or the smallest possible footprint.

The SatisFry Medium is Russell Hobbs' mid-size compact, with a 4L basket (Russell Hobbs rates it to around 800g of chips), 1350W, a digital touchscreen and 10 preset functions including bake, grill, dehydrate, cook-from-frozen and reheat. The basket and crisping plate are dishwasher-safe, and Russell Hobbs promotes it as an energy-saver versus a conventional oven. Against the Cosori Lite and Ninja above, it drops app control and reviewer pedigree but typically costs less (around £65), which is why it lands fourth as the value budget pick. Its 200C maximum temperature is lower than the Cosori's 230C, so heavy searing is not its strength. Choose it over the Instant Vortex Mini below when you want a full-size 4L basket and a wider spread of presets rather than the smallest possible footprint.
