"My kid with the Ninja XL can make a full dinner with sides all at once for her and her husband, so that versatility is off the charts."
"my mom gave me a ninja foodie for Christmas that does air frying pressure cooking and slow cooking. The thing slaps."
"It doubles as a pressure cooker so can braise and cook brisket, casseroles, crispy chicken, etc."

"if you like roasted veggies, it's perfect for that too"

"Probably better options if you only want the air fry option"
"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."

"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."

"My lid now leaks steam while pressure cooking, and while it can still come up to pressure, it is obviously not optimal."

"first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year ... 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"
Fskn 0.4Get 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.
Chrispy1939 0.3Chef here, cooked professionally for 30 years. Not a gadget guy. Took a chance a year ago on a ninja foodi deluxe on sale- pressure cooker and fryer, I use this dam thin 3x per week. I love it.
NotLunaris 0.3I have the Ninja 8qt pressure cooker/air fryer with the combination lid. Would not recommend. Lids that combine air frying and pressure cooking is just a gimmicky mess that is nigh impossible to clean properly, and the heating element of the air fryer will absolutely rust after being exposed to the humidity of pressure cooking. My lid now leaks steam while pressure cooking, and while it can still come up to pressure, it is obviously not optimal. I would go with the IP 8qt with two lids. Yeah two lids are kinda annoying to store, but it is far less annoying than having to deal with a combination lid. 8qt also expands your options quite a bit compared to 6.5qt and is especially useful when making use of the air frying function, where space is important.
ceraexx 0.1I 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.
Evshrug 0.1I imagine “best” is a matter of trade offs and perspective, just like most things. Our Ninja XL has completely replaced our full-size oven, we love it and use it almost every day. There’s a really cheap air fryer in my office’s break room, I realize sometimes budget is the most important thing for some people, but I would never buy something like that one that rarely works, cooks uneven, and looking at the melting plastic parts it looks like it’s going to cause an emergency someday.
Koffenut1 0.1I 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.
lorenzo4203 0.1medhat20005 0.1I have a Cosori toaster oven style air fryer (some of my kids are all bougie and have Breville and the other a Ninja). All are terrific because they can all make a frozen pizza to perfection. Yes, longer pre-heat compared to a basket...by maybe a minute. My kid with the Ninja XL can make a full dinner with sides all at once for her and her husband, so that versatility is off the charts. I find with the mesh basket tray on my Cosori that I don't have to flip foods and they're much easier to space out to allow the circulation that is the science behind why an air fryer works.
Reelair 0.1I have the toaster oven style. Got the Ninja Flip one, loved it! Then I got the Ninja XL, love it even more! The Flip takes a bigger tray, but the XL takes two smaller trays. Flip would be great for a single person, the XL is great for my partner and I. I can't imagine trying to cook in one of those tiny basket type. They were never an option for me.
sniffysippy 0.1Great wings come out of my Ninja XL. I like being able to shake the basket.
