Ninja - EzView AirFryer Max XL AF171C

Have the ninja xl ez view and I looooove the window. Honestly I would gave burned so many things without it. Also allows me to see if what I’m cooking is staying put or flying around and needs adjustment.

mine is the same size but has the EZ view window which i find essential. Has helped me avoid burning many things! [https://www.ninjakitchen.ca/products/ninja-ezview-airfryer-max-xl-zidAF171C](https://www.ninjakitchen.ca/products/ninja-ezview-airfryer-max-xl-zidAF171C)

I hated mine and returned it. We live in an apartment and every time we used it blew the breaker. It also had really uneven temps because of the glass door. Also a nightmare to clean. YMMV.

We had the same problem.

I had an Instant air fryer (not sure which model but not the #1 from ATK. A smaller one with no window) and it only lasted a little over a year before it stopped heating up. I bought a Ninja single basket with window and am really happy with it so far. Not sure how I ever lived without a window before lol. Honestly my favourite thing about it is the nonstick coating on the plate. It's ceramic rather than teflon (unlike the Instant) so it doesn't get scratched off through use or cleaning. A nice little detail which, to me, highlights the quality of the appliance and the attention given to it by the designers.

 Ninja Air Fryer Max XL is my go-to for crispy, even cooking. It’s super easy to use with intuitive buttons and a nonstick basket that’s a breeze to clean. Perfect size for 2-4 people, but if you’re cooking for a crowd, it might feel a bit small. It’s a solid performer, especially for things like chicken wings and fries.

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.

I love my ninja XL or whatever it is.

I have a 5.5 qt basket-style Ninja and it's a nice air fryer for a single like me. I wouldn't recommend going much smaller.

I am happy with my Ninja Max XL. More important than the nominal quarts is that the heating is some space away from the food so it doesn't get nasty fast. The 5.5 quarts seem to be fine for me as a single so far. In the end, more stuff means more moisture to extract. So if not wanting to cook items with larger dimensions, then going for a second device is probably better than to go for a larger one.

My ninja xl just died after 4 years.

This is my current go-to, and it’s been amazing. I have been using Ninja air fryer MAX XL for few months. It’s super easy to use, heats up fast, and consistently makes the crispiest wings and fries I’ve ever had. The ceramic nonstick basket is a breeze to clean (dishwasher-safe too), and it’s perfect for 2-4 people. The “Max Crisp” setting is a game-changer if you want that extra crunch.

Great wings come out of my Ninja XL. I like being able to shake the basket.

Ninja is great, I have it! The main things I make in it are air fried potatoes (halved, diced, sliced, fries style). I don’t think I’ve done chicken, but I’ve done pork shoulder, salmon, and other meat. I’m sure chicken is feasible though! (:

Love my 5.5 qt Ninja. So easy to clean and works great! Highly recommend all Ninja products.

Ninja models have a Max Crisp setting that half nukes - and wow does it create a sear! Part of the trick is to dry the steak well with paper towel, season with s&p and a light mist of olive oil cooking spray and into pre-heated cooker at max heat setting. Turn after 3-4min. another 3-4min and out - let it rest somewhere warm for 5-10 min (I use the normal oven at 50deg) - most of the time results are bloody awesome. some steak is tough shit regardless
