"I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge."
"I'm almost certainly gonna go with the A329. I just learned that the 70mai A810 uses a battery and not a capacitor. Batteries are terrible for dash cams due to how hot the inside of a car gets in the summer here."
"I've used it in May and January, perfection in every season."

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"The dual baskets let me cook two things at once (like chicken wings in one and fries in the other) with different settings, and they finish at the same time thanks to the “Smart Finish” tech."
"There's even a thermometer and a setting system to get the internal temp to a preferred temp. "Is that chicken juicy or raw? Turns out it's juicy since internal temp hit 180.""

"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."
"I personally prefer the dual - then you can cook different kind side by side. ... For me more flexible. ... I love the dual because as told more freedom cooking different in both compartments. ... Flexible. ... I think in the long run you’ll get tired of the lack of freedom- always planning- the time and temperature."
"probably use it for 80% of our meals ... it is great"

"Uma das receitas que fazemos todas as semanas é um frango inteiro cozido com pressao em 15m e depois mais 20m air fryer sem tirar da panela."

"I have the Cosori 6qt, it's a wonderous beast, holds a lot and doesn't take up a whole lotta space, and in any case, easy to put away, as I do, because I have zero counter space for it."
"The 6q model is big enough I did 2lbs of salmon filet in 10m the other day."
"The 6-qt size is perfect for my family of 3. ... I regularly cook 4 chicken breasts and a side of Brussels sprouts in one go. ... Even fits a small whole chicken if I arrange it right!"

"The stock cables are crap, as in the worst stock cables which I have ever encountered on any IEM including KZ IEMs. ... Perhaps the Zero 2 needs to go into the record books for having a very nicely executed relaxing sound signature yet also having the worst stock cable."
"flimsy wire"
"broke while removing the cable 😭"

"Ours smoked terribly since day one. ... Sets of the smoke alarm."
"I have constant smoking issues while using the air fry function. ... Even using foil, still smokes like a chimney."
"I HAAATE how short it is, you have like a 3in. height limit for anything you want to cook lol ... I mean really if whatever I'm cooking is even 2 inches tall, I feel like it'll be too close to the coils at the top and it'll burn 😅 ... I used to eat a lot of frozen stuffed chicken breasts and I think those would be too tall and get burned, especially being in there for like 30+ minutes that close to the burners. or this one time when I wanted to air fry some fat ass enchiladas I had cooked the day before, those things were chuuunky! Or toasting up some french bread for sandwiches!"

"Lids that combine air frying and pressure cooking is just a gimmicky mess that is nigh impossible to clean properly ... the heating element of the air fryer will absolutely rust after being exposed to the humidity of pressure cooking. ... The lid is not detachable and it is impossible to get access to the safety valve (the thing that pops up when pressurized) to clean it properly without taking the lid apart, including the fan. ... The burner element of the air fryer rusts after a single instance of pressure cooking. If you run your finger or a paper towel along it, you should see significant dark smearing. ... The lid itself doesn't rust, but the burner element absolutely does, and there's no doubt that it'll leech into whatever you're pressure cooking as the water continuously drips down from there."
"The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean."
"Lids that combine air frying and pressure cooking is just a gimmicky mess ... Turns out it's much better to keep things separate haha. ... But there's a reason Ninja silently discontinued its air fryer/pressure cookers with the combo lid."

"I definitely wouldn't recommend the foodi for mainly pressure cooking because the air fryer lid is permanently attached. So that would be pretty much always in the way."
I recently upgraded air fryers from my old trusty ninja foodi (the pressure cooker combo) to a Instant Pot Vortex XL with the dual basket. its opened up a bunch in terms of useability & ease of use. However to do again I would of gone for the Foodi with the Flex Basket. Id give up the extra quart of capacity to get the flexability of that big basket for when I am doign something that doesnt fit well in the smaller side by side baskets.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer to Buy Right Now Cometh the 2025? ->I love mine and use it daily. I even bought a ninja combi because I wanted more options lol. I like the ninja foodi because it's also a pressure cooker, and makes perfect rice and hard boiled eggs. I use it for bagels/waffles/toast daily, and usually reheat things in it. If you make frozen foods like fries and chicken nugs, it's good for that, and if you like roasted veggies, it's perfect for that too. My oven has an air fry function, but it doesn't work as well as a standalone one.
r/Parenting • Is an air fryer worth it? ->I shake in this one too. It's a little on the smaller side so I only do about 8 wings at a time. I usually flip about half way through and do some shaking towards the end.
r/Wings • Should I get an Air Fryer or an Oven for cooking wings? ->Sadly I can't say I had the same experience with the Ninja Foodi (first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year). I really liked the air fryer pressure cooker combo but yeah, can\`t say I\`m too happy with the quality build (the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now).
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->Yes. Yes. I have a ninja foodi 8 qt pressure cooker/air fryer. Very versatile but if you want one for sheet pan meals that are large go for a toaster oven style one from whatever company ☺️
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->Ninja with a pressure cooker, so does all round
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->Get a 2 draw it just gives you way more options and there's no downside. I've got a ninja XXL and love it, I saw they just released a new model where the draws are stacked instead of side by side so it takes up less space, could be a good option.
r/newzealand • Airfryer for one or two... ->Yeah I got a ninja that's the pressure cooker/air fryer 2 in 1 machine and I love it. It air frys really well and the pressure cooker is better than I thought it would be. I use it quite a bit. You just have to preheat it for the air fryer but it only takes a few minutes. It's very consistent so you get a good feel for how long you need to heat stuff
r/airfryer • Best air-fryer that cooks food according to directions ->We have a Ninja pressure cooker/air fryer combo. It works great.
r/Appliances • Best non toxic air fryer ->I have the Ninja XL and love it, however, you might want to consider just buying one you like with an extended warranty. Normally I avoid those like the plague but they make sense for something like this. Get a 4 year warranty on a $150 AF, knowing with high usage you will cash in.
r/airfryer • Air fryer is slowly dying ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
