Well I can only get a 6.2l ninja with points so if it works for halves, thst will still work. At least the pizza could last more than a day, so I have a half one day and another the next  I take it for it to fit half u put it in an angle?

Ninja Pro 6.2: Perfect for 2/3 people. Easily cleaned with a little dish soap: let the tank cool down; do not add water when it is very hot: use special absorbent papers for air fryers that fit the dimensions of the tank.

I have that one. I love it!

Yes and no. It’s more about the power they have, the size, and options for me. While not necessary to spend $300 on a good one, a decent one with good power and size will run at least $100 imo. I started with a cheapo Bella one, power sucked. Upgraded to a nicer $70-$80 off brand one. I liked it but it died after a year. I’m now the proud owner of a Ninja 6 in 1, and then was gifted the Ninja Crispi Pro. While I do love the pro, it cooks just as well and has the same options as my $129 Ninja 6 in 1, the Crispi pro is easier to clean though because of the glass bowls, and supposedly without the chemicals found in basket style ones. I would not have personally spent $279 on it though, but since it was gifted to me I will happily use it!

Honestly both cook pretty similarly so I’d pick the one with the bigger basket and easier cleaning, because capacity and convenience matter way more day to day than the marketing names for the airflow tech.

Baskets do crisp better than oven models, but if you want to do pizzas, get an oven model. My ninja is one of the ceramic ones. It has never flaked or chipped. I did learn not to use low smoke point oil in it which reduced the non-stickiness of the crisp plate. I was able to "re-season" it with grapeseed oil which I now brush on lightly when cooking foods likely to stick (breaded fish, for example). Previously I had a teflon one from Gourmia and it did start to flake, thus the replacement Ninja. Supposedly the ceramic is sand-based. Can we believe anything a company tells us? Probably not. But at some point you pick the lesser evil. Have not tried the glass ones, they would be too heavy for this old lady. I love my Ninja, it's more than 2 years old and is used multiple times each day. I do not worry about cleaning the heating element - that's a rabbit hole you never return from at all.

Yes! We bought a Ninja Max Pro (6,2 L) last year, it almost feals like cheating. It's beginner friendly, there are tons of recipes, easy to clean, etc... Once I cooked 1,2 kg of chicken thigh strips in it and with frequent shaking it effortlessly cooked it. I was worried that it would be "steamed" because of the water loss, but most of it had a nice crust, and all of it was juicy. Also it is amazing for reheating. Dehydration also works great, but the food tends to fly around in the basket.

Am single too and got this exact one recently. It's great! I have a tiny kitchen and it does take up space on worktop but I love it. Have cooked most things in it. Solid and well made. I bought the silicon liner thing to avoid mess which I use sometimes and also the paper ones. Drawer is a good size. So far have done sausage casserole, roasted veg, feta and sweet corn fritters, toasted sandwiches, bacon etc You won't regret it.
