Ninja - Flip Toaster 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Oven

Lots of people posting the multi use. I have this one after having the basket type for years. https://a.co/d/hI0AtqH No regrets air fryer was the best purchase as for kitchen gadgets of my life. Second is the instant pot

i have: Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Oven, Large Toaster Oven, Flip-Away For Storage, Dehydrate, Keep Warm, 1800 Watts, Stainless my one regret is that the interior height just isn't enough, if it had at least 1" more, preferably 2", it would be much better i only use it for basics and it's holding up well after more than 2 yrs

I have the Ninja Digital 8-in-1 and it changed my life! It can do everything a basket friar does and more. Generally it cooks anything an oven can cook about 30% faster than the box time too. It's pretty big but you can lose the toaster if you have one since it does that as well. It comes with a basket that's kind of a bitch to clean but you can use your own quarter baking sheets with a wire rack if you like. The only 3 complaints I have is one, the size. Thankfully it's on a swivel and can be positioned vertically. Two, the inside is impossible to clean well. And three, it can get pretty loud when you're air frying at high tempatures for a long period of time.

Depends how lazy I am. I usually use my own pan and clean it with every use. You can use little tiny pans to make it easier if it's a small item. I don't clean the basket piece as much as I should. It has some really baked on char on some parts that's not really worth the fuss. The actual inside has sheet on the bottom that collects crumbs I'll pull out every few months. The walls are the part I'm mostly talking about. I think it's inevitable it will be dirty with baked on oil/grease. Long story short you're not actually cleaning it with every use but you should clean the pan you're using. No matter what I would choose this air fryer over a basket fryer in every scenerio. Reheated pizza to fresh in 3 minutes and being able to make +12 crispy Buffalo wings will wing any argument!

I use the quarter sheets recommended by America's Test Kitchen by Nordic Ware for my quarter sheets. My 1/8 sheets are some generic cheap buy from the grocery store. I haven't had a problem with either. I haven't used foil, the direction specifically says not to so I'm not risking it. I believe the one I have is the Ninja sp101 digital 8-in-1 flip oven with fry basket

I bought one with all metal components and I'm in love. I held out on an air fryer for years but this thing is magic.

The ninja air fryer and toaster oven 8 in 1. It seemed like every air fryer I looked at had some people complaining about something, so I chose from what was available at my local Costco since they make returns so easy. 

We were gifted [this Ninja Foodi](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ninja-foodi-8-in-1-digital-air-fry-oven-toaster-flip-away-storage-dehydrate-keep-warm-stainless-steel-black/6357664.p?skuId=6357664&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=20153185852&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7rIIkt907lsWhW3hkfk6qYUEpmEedAhOfwsuzEm2Eoq9SAxKvtETH4aArhyEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) by my mom's cousin a few years ago and we use it literally 4-5 times a day. Every single day. It folds up against the wall so easily. We've had 3 other people use ours and then buy one for themself.

There's a mesh basket that spans the inside, and you slide it in grooves along each side after taking out the wire toasting rack. I don't air fry much but my family says they love doing it in theirs.

I currently hae a ninja foodi (the 8 in 1) and I had a ninja bucket style (I had to replace it when I had it on the stovetop and turned a burner on by mistake). I really like the foodi for large flat things and pulling double duty as a toaster. But as an air fryer I found the bucket style worked way better, with things getting crispier since the air circulation is much better. I never really shook stuff using the bucket style air fryer either. I'm also vegetarian so I use it exclusively for similar food. If you prefer tray style cooking and want that real estate the foodi is your best bet (and if it's pulling double duty as a toaster, but if you want things nice and crispy, the bucket style is better and a lot cheaper.

I have a ninja air fryer/ toaster oven combo I use it everyday and it saves electricity not using my big oven. Love it

I have a ninja airfryer, toaster combo and I love that mfer. I haven't used my oven in over a year. It's just me and my roommate, so we don't need a massive meal, just enough space to roast/fry/bake a meal for two.

I reluctantly got the Ninja Air Fryer that's kinda shaped like a toaster oven. I thought it would just be a waste of money, but we use it at least once a day and have had it for about a year or so. It preheats in like 30 seconds so you dont have to turn it on like an oven and come back in 15 minutes to actually cook something. Our model has toast, broil, bake, and other options so it eliminates the need for a toaster and takes place of the oven most of the time. ADHD tip: buy extra pans so you dont have to worry about cleaning one specific pan to cook.

I have a ninja that is a do it all oven. Has air fryer settings. I’ve been making wings in it recently and they’ve come out great

I have a ninja oven like that one with an air fryer setting and it’s bad. I have a ninja air fryer like the air fryer pictured as well, it’s great.

I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation.  The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.

Did you ever end up buying a different air fryer? I know plenty of people who have gone from a basket style to a toaster oven style, but not the other way around because they’d lose so many features. I recently upgraded from a basket style to a Ninja toaster oven model (I used this fantastic [brand and model database](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y4PR6GCz-Lk5mWX1LUzo-3kChRBv302vSv5HZFB5K1c/edit) to help narrow things down). I agree with you that the “air frying” feature isn’t quite the same, but the glass door helps me monitor things and make sure they don’t get too toasty/crispy. 

My parents have the flip ninja one and it’s alright. Needs to be a tad taller but not like their huge model.

I have the ninja flip, from what I’ve pieced together from mine would be turning the fan on/off (air frying vs baking), broiling (only turns top heating element on), and dehydrating (low temp and maybe fan for a long time). I think toasting might turn top and bottom heating elements on at the same as well, ultimately just leaving it on air fry would realistically do all of it but selecting those individually might be slightly more efficient

Oh it’s definitely the most intuitive air fryer I have ever had, the only downside to me is how hard it is to clean since my model can’t remove the bottom panel like some can

It’s a Ninja and I love mine

Honestly haven’t explored too many cooking modes yet but it’s a neat trick how the thing flips outta the way if you’re tight on counter space, the control panel is surprisingly intuitive, gotta like smart touches like the interior light coming on at the end of cycle or being controllable manually.

No, the basket is aluminum, the grill surface is aluminum, and the plate is Teflon. You can’t clean the damn thing either.

I upgraded to the flip from a basket style air fryer. So I have both. I tend to use the Flip more than the basket style. The tray makes doing four chicken breasts fast and easy. But I do note it takes longer in the flip so,it’s hard to take on a new recipe without monitoring everything.

I got this one for my dad a few Christmases ago; I HAAATE how short it is, you have like a 3in. height limit for anything you want to cook lol might be good for OP tho, he said size is a main priority but my dad's already wanting to replace his 😅

I love my ninja flip up but am I missing out not using a basket air fryer? Aside from being a pain to clean on the sides and back, I feel it crisps up nice unless I don’t know better?

It works great on pizza for sure. I wish I had the space for both but it would clutter my counters.

I use my IP more, but I rarely use our full-size oven since we got our air fryer toaster oven. We have one of the Ninja flip up models, and it’s great if you also don’t have a lot of counterspace.

I also had a Ninja flip and it just wasn’t as good as basket style air fryers. I also went back to a basket style.

The Ninja flip style air fryers are great for baking, toasting, roasting, air frying, dehydrating, and more. Takes up a bit of counter space but the flip up feature saves some space when not in use and the size is great for heating up pizzas. Why get an air fryer if you’re not going to fry things with it?

I largely disliked it, outside of the capacity. Before you read below, I'd say my wife and I used this unit moderately (i.e. regular cleaning, used 2 to 3 times a week). First of all, the screen makes a buzzing sound that is super annoying. That's a minor annoyance, but one that infuriated me more and more the longer I owned the thing and saw the other short-comings. Secondly, it doesn't air-fry all that well. It isn't bad, but if all you need is a dedicated air-fryer, well, this thing is assuredly worse than a basket air-fryer. Thirdly, this thing makes a f***ing mess. It's hard to clean, the crumb/ drip tray is a really bad design (the seams can leak food oil directly beneath the machine). I can appreciate the idea of having an outside accessible crumb pan, but in practice it is just not worth it. Fourth, the finish on the thing started peeling within one year (black coated model) and the function stickers were rubbing off within 6 months. At this price-point the function indicators 'ought to have been engraved. Fifth, it takes far longer to heat up than conventional air-fryers. Sixth, the g**d*mned light on it turns off after like 5 seconds. No adjusting it, no keeping it on, just an annoying button you have to keep pressing if you're keeping an eye on what you're cooking. After you cook with this and you get annoyed at all of the above, the softly buzzing screen incessantly reminds you that you definitely overpaid for this unit. If I had to summarize this thing: it is far far far overpriced for a machine that really doesn't do anything special that other oven-style air-fryers don't, and MOST CERTAINLY NOT justifiable at 3x the cost given the shortcomings. I replaced it with one of the flip up Ninja thingies a while ago and never looked back. No, I can't roast a whole chicken in it, but I can do everything else (pizza, toast, air fry, etc).

Ninja Foodi Flip. It's pretty big but also pretty flat (made specifically to fit a whole frozen pizza) but you can flip it upright when you're not using it. Had mine for like four years and no problems

We have the Ninja Foodi oven style one. It's great and it's large enough to cook small meals.

The foodi is the best!

Check out the Ninja Foodi. We love ours. Makes perfect rice and so much more. Insta pot/pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker and rice cooker all in one. The only downside is it’s kinda big because of the extra air fryer lid. The pressure lid is always attached. Also the pot is dishwasher safe and is more ceramic like. Makes better rice than a rice cooker and better pulled pork than a slow cooker.

Glad to see this and I wanted to echo the same. We’ve had our Ninja Foodi for 6 years and use it 2x a week at a minimum. It will die eventually, but I definitely feel it’s a worthwhile buy.

Not BIFL but Ninja Foodi took an absolut beating from us. It's slowing down but considering how much use we've got out of it I am damn impressed.

We use ours literally everyday. Prob like 6 years too. I find it takes a while to heat up now it's on its way out but we rely on this so much.

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer that is still going strong after 5 yrs of usage and it is still geting use multiple times a week.

Okay so ignore me if this is out of budget. Get rid of the slow cooker and instant pot and get the ninja foodi. It has an air fryer, slow cooker, and instant pot settings. Frees up some space and you have a gadget that does all of them.

Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I’ve had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn’t recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It’s not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.

I have a Ninja Foodi and I use it a lot! It has an air fryer, pressure cooker, steamer etc and I use most of the functionality it has and it saves me so much time!

I think it depends what style you buy. My mom had a toaster oven type one and I don’t like it as much as my own. Plus gotta wait for it to preheat. I have a ninja foodie that doesn’t need to preheat and it’s what started getting me to cook more. However, cleaning it is a bitch so there might be that regret.

I’ve had a Ninja Foodi for years. Usually more than £100 but think you can get manufacturer refurbs off of eBay for close to that price. It’s more than just an air fryer. It also has pressure cooker, sauté, roast, dehydrate as well as other functions I don’t use. Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them. Also use the pressure cooker for curries, and you can brown the meat in there first before switching to pressure. Mrs even used it to dehydrate orange slices to make her own Christmas wreathes. We wouldn’t be without it.

It’s amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn’t have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It’s a bit of a pain to clean but that’s the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It’s a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it’s definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you’re looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

My Ninja Foodi came with a non-stick pot, but I bought a replacement stainless steel pot on Amazon. I also replaced the non-stick rack with stainless steel. If anyone is concerned about the inner pot it’s easy to replace. Worth a little extra investment to protect our birds.

Same here. Just buy a replacement pot and the problem is solved.

I have a ninja foodi that’s like an air fryer plus a small oven plus a toaster oven (does some other stuff I don’t use too). I use it almost every day. Sometimes I use it multiple times a day. It preheats essentially immediately, so anything that can fit in it (which includes most frozen pizzas) goes in it instead of the real oven. It makes cooking feel like less of a commitment.

I have a Ninja Foodi that has been my primary device for years, bought one of these to combo with it as I couldn't pass up the pricing, and I actually use it more often my Ninja now! Of course there are certain functions that only my Foodi is capable of, but when it comes to plain ol' air frying the Gourmia is great

Same, I did just purchase a stainless steel pot because my nonstick coating was starting to chip. Otherwise the things been trouble free.

The Ninja Foodi and Cosori Pro are two of the best air fryers for even cooking, large capacity, and versatility. Instant Vortex Plus is another great choice with multiple functions like roasting and dehydrating. If you want something high-end, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is excellent.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for a compact design, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

Yeah, this is weird - Ninja in the US has always said the opposite and people recommend them highly for that reason. I can even feel that mine are not like non-stick pans, it's definitely ceramic and not fully non-stick. I wonder if something changed, or if this is one of the things Europe/UK have less health restrictions compared to the US? We have a huge movement of objects being healthier for us, including pans and bakeware made without these chemicals. I feel like I mainly see the PTFE/PFOA-free pans compared to those with, now, even in cheap places like Walmart.

Coming back. As someone with two ninja foodi's and have recommended them for about 2 years now. Mine died just recently at the 2 year mark and they wont do anything about it. I have the big one remaining with the thermometer and I hope it lasts.

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

Yes, the Ninja Foodi is one of the best air fryers. It has great feedback and reviews.
