"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"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.""
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."

"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."

"Picked it up on amzn prime day in July and I use it almost daily. Vegetables, burgers, reheating leftovers - almost anything that could go in a microwave now goes in the air fryer."
"it's almost replaced out oven for anything baked or roasted."
"each basket has a wire rack to basically make 4 cooking surfaces, too. (2 per drawer/basket - top rack being more crispy foods) ... I love that each basket/drawer comes with a separate rack that sits half way in the basket making 4 areas to cook on. ... the top rack in each drawer is the "crispier" foods rack"

"after 2 years needs replacement parts (grill, pan, and basket). The cost to replace these parts is nearly equal to buying a new unit."
My roommates and I recently went with the Ninja 6-in-1 since we cook together a lot and it's been great. I'm a sucker for a simple UX/not overcomplicating things when it comes to kitchen stuff and it seemed like one of the better options on that front. Also have a ninja blender so I know they make decent stuff. Would recommend to just go with the one that fits your intended use. You don't want to get a big bulky one that will stick out on your counter if you don't need to.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer Right Now? Recommendation? ->Honestly if you are comparing between a toaster oven and an air fryer I would get w/e is cheaper and takes up less space. I would maybe look into one of those ninja foodi 6-1 (or w/e brand is available) were you can also saute and slow cook so you have more breadth. In the grand scheme of things they are gonna cook things more or less the same when it comes to the baking/broil/air fry
r/cookingforbeginners • Can an airfryer completely replace an oven? ->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? ->We have a Ninja Pro XL 6.5qt and have nothing bad to say about it. It works well and is extremely easy to use.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->Bought the greenpan convection oven air fryer combo and the over style do not compare at all. Food was undercooked and time to cook food water literally double to that of an air fryer. HIGHLY recommend the Ninja brand as they cook extremely well AND now have non toxic ceramic coating. Go for the AF181 model, you will not be disappointed.
r/airfryer • Thoughts on the toaster oven style 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 ->I have a Ninja that's got Super-Crisp (450F) technology.
r/airfryer • Things to know before buying Airfryer ->I love my ninja XL or whatever it is.
r/airfryer • My old airfryer has bitten the dust so time for a new one. I'm seeing things like '4-in-1' (Ninja) to '13-in-1' (Phillips) cooking options..... what difference do these really do? ->I 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.
r/airfryer • Air fryer vs Toaster Oven Air Fryer ->OMG!! Me too! We replaced it with the Ninja Ait Fryer Pro, and I looooove it!
