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

The Ninja Foodi convection oven was the best wedding gift I got. Well, I bought it with after the wedding. It can do everything really well. Barely ever turn the oven on anymore. It took the toasters place. Best wings I've ever had.

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

Ninja Foodie flip up 8 in 1 oven!! Life changing and cheapest at Costco or Amazon warehouse

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

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 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'd go with something like the ninja 8 in one. It is also a toaster oven and while large, it flips up when not in use. You can make a small pizza or a pie in there (my coworker baking a pie from frozen is what sold me on this). Sometimes I'll just toss some taquitoes or pizza pops in for myself.

We got one of those from CostCo, and we use it daily.

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’m a big fan of the ninja foodie toaster style- I do pizzas all day! 

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

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

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

Ninja Foodi, has an air fryer function built in that works 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.

Ninja Foodi!!

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

It’s a Ninja and I love mine

We use ours several times a week. We got the ninja that’s also a toaster oven. It’s a little tricky to clean but we use it a ton.

I just bought a Ninja Foodi, love it

Ninja Foodi I love mine so much.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Ninja Foodi which is both. Both things are very nice to have and very different, to be honest.

Ninja Foodi! I, too have a very small kitchen and I use my ninja every single day. You can cook just about anything you want in it. I don’t even own a microwave anymore because it’s just as easy to use the Foodi for everything.

Ninja foodi is amazing. I love the pressure cooking/steam and crisp for frozen chicken breasts, slow cooling big beef roasts on sale, air frying frozen processed foods like nuggets etc etc It can be a little annoying to clean but it’s worth it. My most used household cooking appliance by far

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. 

A little late to this party, but Ninja Foodi(I think) changed my life. Air fryer, saute, slow and pressure cooker all-in-one

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 just got the ninja foodi and it's been great so far.

I love my Ninja Foodi air fryer

I just (tried) cleaning out our Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Fryer. It was pretty dirty as we never cleaned it as much as we should. Anyway, cleaning that thing is a major pain in the ass. I couldn’t figure out any (easy) way to remove the heating elements and shields to get them cleaned. I sprayed the inside with oven cleaner, then later read that the oven cleaner shouldn’t be used with convection type ovens. So, not sure if the fryer is toast now, or what. Haven’t plugged it back in yet, so not sure if it’s going to even work. Any way. I’ll be following this thread for options, because even if it works, it’s the last time I’m cleaning this thing. Next time, it’s going in the trash and we’ll just buy a new one. As far as performance of the unit, it was ok. Though, it left a lot to be desired for making toast. It takes way too long to toast a couple slices of bread. And frying isn’t exactly giving me crispy results either. Never really did.

I use the ninja foodie 8 in 1. Love it and use it constantly. If it ever quits on me, I will buy it again

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 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.

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

I just got mine last year after my instant pot went kaput and I love it! I was without an oven for thanksgiving and I roasted a chicken in it!

My first foodie lasted 4 years, 2nd one 1 year 😔

I have a Ninja Flip. A little pricey but it’s very versatile and folds out of the way for counter space!

I'm a big fan of the Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry/Toaster (the one that flips up). It air fries, toasts, roasts, keeps warm, etc. And, bc it flips up, it saves on counter space. It's amazing for frozen food. It's not tall, however. You can't roast a whole chicken. Anyway, it's replaced my regular toaster (gave it away) and large oven which I only use monthly at this point.

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).

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 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

Ninja Foodi, used multiple times a week since April of 2020

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.

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!

We rarely use the oven except to bake now. Love my Ninja

That model has heating elements below and above which a few new models are featuring now. It saves having to stop, open, remove food, turn, open, replace food, start up. I want one! heh.

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.

Have the Ninja counter space saver always looks to small inside but has not failed in anything we put in . Bonus great for crousaunts and doing toast for a crowd.

I agree. Our big oven took a dive, but when I saw I could convection roast a whole chicken in this thing, I went for it. Haven’t even looked at the oven in three months. Got rid of the Gourmia air fryer and my toaster and couldn’t be happier. It does everything, and well.

Depends on what you consider big. For reference we have a family of five but my two boys never stop eating. We opted for the Ninja smart XL line. We've cooked four chicken breasts, burgers, a whole chicken, bacon, etc. I think it holds about 4qts and it's worked for the last 4 years until recently. The internal shield failed and now it smells like burnt plastic. Still it's the longest lasting air fryer. We've had three others that didn't even last one year. Ninja also has oven style French door models that hold much more capacity than basket styles. 

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

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.

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.

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.

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 vote slow cooker because most things you make in one reheat well and often taste better as the days go by. I have three air fryers, one is a Ninja Foodi which functions as an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker. It does a great job air frying and pressure cooking, but leaves a lot to be desired as a slow cooker and yogurt maker because it gets too hot. I also have an Instant Pot I use a lot, but not as a slow cooker, it’s just not the same.

Second the ninja foodie. I use mine all the time and the air fry function is great.

Ninja Foodi - probably not as good/convenient as a dedicated air fryer for the actual air frying part, but it can also sauté/simmer, slow cook, pressure cook, steam air fry (good for chicken breasts so don’t dry out), dehydrate and apparently 8 other functions but I’ve not used them lol. Makes for a very useful gadget! Negative is it’s a pretty big unit of a thing, so storage can be an issue. Also the lid flips open so you need room above to be able to open it which may limit where you can use it if you have cupboards above all your sides.

Cosori is what I have now, it’s awesome! I will never buy a Ninja Foodi (whatever in 1) the toaster ovens/air fryer are a pain in the ass to clean, I rarely ever used any function other than pizza and air fryer so all the other functions were pointless for me. It does however make AWESOME frozen pizzas

I have the ninja speedi. We use it for so many things, air frying, proofing and baking bread, steaming veggies, I've even used the dehydrate setting to dehydrate fruit. We use it daily. Mine did break outside of warranty and I immediately ordered a new one, same brand and model. Edit to add: I have a few friends who have the ninja foodi and really love that too. I've read a lot of reviews on the two models. It seems the speedi has a slightly better air fry feature, but the foodie has a pressure cooker setting, so it depends on what people are looking for. I know some who really love their regular ninja air fryer as well. If I was in the market for a new air fryer I'd honestly check out the ninja ones, they really do seem to make a product worth investing in.

Ninja foodi - air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker.. 8 in 1, I believe. 1000% worth it. As a single person who lives alone, I easily make 60%+ of all my food in this one little machine.

The 8 in 1 or 11 in 1 - something like that. And yes. I love it!! And it is really simple to clean.

Very easy. The inside looks like a standard slow cooker - just a big pot. So I wash mine every time I use it. Much easier (in my opinion) than the standard basket or oven style air fryers.

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.

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’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.

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.

Top air fryer picks include Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for compact efficiency, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

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.

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 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 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 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.

yeah, the ninja foodie is Teflon free and it air fries, slow cooks, sous vides, it's like a 12 in 1 gizmo, I love mine.

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 😅

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

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 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
