Ninja - AF101

You’re clearing the ninja one wrong. Hot water into the bucket with soap, handle scrubber in fast rotations , put it out, same again, boom. Faster than cleaning the cosori.

My ninja has been bulletproof since 2017.

My wife and I have this Ninja Airfryer. We have a TAG, hasn't been an issue. https://a.co/d/g9amsMG

I’ve got the [Ninja AF101](https://amzn.to/41Rfmgj), and I can't imagine life without it. I use it almost daily, it cooks everything super fast and crispy without needing much oil. I love making crispy chicken tenders in it. Plus, it's super easy to clean, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable air fryer!

My Ninja AF 101 from Amazon has a Dehydrate button (haven’t used the dehydrate function yet).

I recently bought the Cosori Pro 2 and it completely blew my ninjas out of the water. I had a Ninja Foodi and the Ninja AF101 and Dual Zone (endless cycles of upgrading and gifting to friends who didnt have an air fryer). Got a Cosori as an extra air fryer. It was $48 on clearance at walmart due to the red color not being very popular. The Cosori performs better than the Ninja in a very key aspect, the removable basket design. Since the sides are also detachable from the overall basket, they can add vents to the side of the basket. This allows the circulation of air to the underside even if the basket is completely full. Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate. In a scenario where both are half empty, they perform the same - slight edge to the Ninja.The removable basket vents no longer makes me afraid of just dumping a bag of fries This is not worth selling your Ninja and buying a new Cosori. These downfalls can be easily solved by preheating, shaking or simply not overfilling. But it's nice to just set it and forget it And just a preference, I infinitely prefer cleaning the dual basket than trying to remove a hot plate from the bottom

New to air fryers but the Ninja Airfryer is the one I have and it cooks great steaks in like 8 minutes! Flipping halfway through. And also frozen fries / nugs / fresh vegs and all that stuff too. I made bacon in mine this morning. I just type in whatever I’m making: “roasted veggies air fryer” into google and great recipes pop up

I get a pack of filet mignon from Walmart, like $15 for 2 of them but it’s just me so I can stretch it into 4 meals if I want. I haven’t tried it with a bone-in steak yet. I put the steak in a gallon ziplock before work with Italian dressing and Danos steak marinade, leave it in the fridge all day. After work I take it out of the bag and throw it in the airfryer. 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes, flipping halfway through. I like mine rare-mid rare. It’s so good!!

Oh and the steaks aren’t frozen when I put them in the airfryer, I haven’t tried from frozen yet.

Not sure if it's considered large but we have a 4qt Ninja and it's a rockstar.

For a 2-person household, a 4-quart air fryer is ideal. It's compact and can handle chicken pieces. Consider [Ninja Air Fryer 4-quart](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Ninja+Air+Fryer+4-quart&crid=192JY3JZXF3LP&sprefix=ninja+air+fryer+4-quart%2Caps%2C236&linkCode=ll2&tag=sedx3d0d-20&linkId=dbae6f758c2699acfe0a1cac30ad9410&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). [Dual-zone](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dual-zone+airfryer+oven&crid=JH016UFYKMKV&sprefix=Dual-zone+%2Caps%2C250&linkCode=ll2&tag=sedx3d0d-20&linkId=8f161b71266a38e56a99320556babc29&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) is larger, more expensive. Choose based on your needs.

I have the 4-qt Ninja air fryer and love it. Bought it on FB marketplace several years ago and use it several times a week. Never had any issues.

I’ve not tried the Gourmia (got one for my coworker though and he loves it), but I did recently upgrade to the basic 4 qt ninja and I love it so much! It’s definitely more powerful than my old one, so much easier to clean, a lot quieter, and the button beeps/food ready beeps are much quieter, which I enjoy for late night heating
