so i went through a similar air fryer rabbit hole last year. ended up getting the [prestige air flip](https://monetas.it/review/prestige-air-fryer/) , and honestly, it’s been pretty solid. the glass basket is nice cause no weird coatings, and the 360° view is great for checking on food. but like, it’s a bit heavy and sometimes feels fragile when cleaning. i mean, i’m always worried about dropping it. the crispiness is decent, but not as good as my old basket fryer. still, i’d say it’s worth a shot if you want something safer. just keep those downsides in mind, ya know?
I have one of these. Fantastic air fryer, 9/10.
Two key points:
A: It cooks a little slower than many other models - if instructions say cook for 10 min at 350, it will be 12-13.
B: The "flip" thing is really a gimmick, at least for me. It doesn't save very much counter space at all, so it just stays in the regular position. The trays / pans / etc can sit on top because the heat from the machine wont hurt them.
Overall, however, an excellent buy at full price, even better discounted, and if getting it from CostCo, there is a great return policy if for some reason it breaks.
I like the flip part of it myself. I don't use it every day, maybe 1 to 3 times a week. I use it as a toaster, air fryer, and a mini oven. I don't have enough countertop space for all these items separately.
It replaced a much older mini convection oven that I had for like 10+ years. It is a compromise appliance.
I've owned the Ninja Flip for like 5 years, and I love it. Technically the traditional air fryer version (with the basket) works better for "frying." But I also wanted a mini oven, and I don't have tons of countertop space. Convection oven works well too. I often use it cook salmon, chicken, veggies, etc
If you use this a few times a week, the flip part works very well in freeing up space. I also use this for toasting bread because I didn't want a separate toaster.
Get the flip up Ninja toaster oven that doubles as an air fryer, and that conveniently flips up to increase counter space! Best thing ever. https://www.costco.com/p/-/ninja-flip-10-in-1-toaster-oven-air-fryer-with-added-broil-rack/4000359830
Cuisinart sucks just fyi, especially the digital air fryer ones. Ninja is good just they don’t seem to have a good size. The tilt one doesn’t have enough clearance to see or even put things like 1-1/2” steaks and the non-flip one is giant.
