Our verdict on each
Chefman
Chefman suits households that want air frying and coffee from the same maker, and the entry basket is the draw: air fryers start at $49.99 and coffee machines at $34.99. The trade-off is depth, since the coffee side stays with espresso and drip and sales run to US and CA.
SharkNinja Australia
SharkNinja Australia suits Australian households that want cooking, coffee and floor care from a single maker, and it holds an overall score of 9.2 on the site. The trade-off is depth in automated cooking: the range covers many appliance types, but its air fryer runs 6 programs.

Pros and cons
Chefman
Pros
- Air fryers start at $49.99 and coffee machines at $34.99, so the entry basket stays cheap across the range.
- The multifunctional air fryer runs 17 programs and ranks 8 of 60 brands, the one measure where Chefman sits near the front.
- The espresso machine packs a 15 bar pump, a dual boiler, a steam wand and a grinder built in, all within the $499.99 flagship.
Cons
- The coffee side is espresso and drip only, so a shopper after pod or bean-to-cup work ends up reading a different brand's page.
- Capacity ranks 17 of 69 brands at 9.46 litres, so basket size is mid-table rather than the reason to buy.
- Sales run to US and CA only, so buyers outside those markets order without a local warranty route.
SharkNinja Australia
Pros
- A spare parts shop is offered, matching the 96.2% share of brands on the site that run one.
- A single maker covers air fryer, multicooker and blender and delivers to AU, so a broad kitchen refresh can sit with one seller.
- Robot vacuums in the range come with a self empty dock, and cordless stick models run for 70 minutes at a stretch.
Cons
- Programme depth is modest: the air fryer runs 6 programs against a 9.5 median here, and the brand sits 46 of 60 on that measure.
- Support runs on a help centre only, while 65.4% of brands on the site offer phone support.
- There is no capsule option, since the pod system is none, so pod buyers need a different brand.
Who each suits
Chefman
Who it suits
- First-time air fryer buyers who want 17 programs in the basket machine rather than a plain fryer.
- Espresso drinkers after a grinder, a steam wand and a dual boiler in one machine, in a range that starts at $34.99.
- Shoppers in US and CA who want a desk on email and phone and a 1 year warranty behind the purchase.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants multicooker and processor work in one machine, since GASTROBACK reaches air fryer, multicooker and blender where Chefman's air fryer and blender stop at fryers and blenders.
- Pressure-cooking buyers, since Chef iQ is built around multicooker only.
- Shoppers who want stand mixers and food processors as well, since Daewoo Electricals adds air fryer, blender and stand mixer to a comparable small appliance line.
SharkNinja Australia
Who it suits
- Australian households replacing several small appliances in a single basket, since the catalogue covers air fryer, multicooker and blender and delivery covers AU.
- Coffee drinkers who want fresh beans from a grinder built in, with an auto frother on espresso and bean to cup machines and no capsule format to manage.
- Vacuum buyers after a self empty dock on a robot model, or 70 minutes of cordless runtime for spot cleans.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cooks who want stand mixers in the same bundle: GASTROBACK lists them in air fryer, multicooker and blender.
- Buyers who want a single appliance type done thoroughly: Chef iQ builds around multicooker on its own.
- Anyone shopping outside Australia, since AU covers a single market and the support route is a help centre.

Questions about each
Chefman
How much does a Chefman air fryer cost?+
Chefman air fryers start at $49.99. The reference line covers a compact fryer alongside a multifunctional digital model, so the entry point sits well below the $499.99 top of the coffee range. Check the current listing price for the exact model before you commit.
What does the top of the coffee range cost?+
The flagship coffee machine is $499.99 and the entry coffee machine is $34.99. That spread is the usual pattern for a range that opens with drip and filter models and ends on the espresso machine carrying a dual boiler and a steam wand.
SharkNinja Australia
What does the cheapest SharkNinja Australia product cost?+
The range starts at AUD 8.99 at the cheapest end of the catalogue. Among the brands compared here, SharkNinja Australia places 5 of 87 on lowest listed price, which puts the entry point near the front of a wide field. Buyers budgeting for a full appliance should start with the coffee machines.
How much do the coffee machines cost?+
The coffee range covers espresso and bean to cup machines. The entry coffee machine is priced at AUD 999.99 and the flagship at AUD 1,199.99, so the step up buys the top of the range rather than a different category. The flagship machine also carries a grinder built in and an auto frother.
