Air Fryer all the way, and IF you can do two, a small microwave. You don't even need a toaster oven if you have a good air fryer. My Ninja Foodie is an older model of [this one](https://www.macys.com/shop/product/ninja-foodi-fd401-8-qt.-12-in-1-deluxe-xl-pressure-cooker-air-fryer-in-stainless-steel?ID=9792484) and does all kinds of things. I made our turkey breast in it for Thanksgiving on the slow cook function, and I use the air fryer function several times a week.
Chef here, cooked professionally for 30 years. Not a gadget guy. Took a chance a year ago on a ninja foodi deluxe on sale- pressure cooker and fryer, I use this dam thin 3x per week. I love it.
I have the Ninja 12-in-one. I use the regular oven when whatever I’m cooking is too big for the ninja.
Yes. Yes. I have a ninja foodi 8 qt pressure cooker/air fryer. Very versatile but if you want one for sheet pan meals that are large go for a toaster oven style one from whatever company ☺️
I bought a cheap one that was really too small, but worked ok. Then I was gifted an 8 qt Ninja, which is amazing Cooks twice as fast as the cheapie and I don't have to cook a meal in sections
I got the ninja foodi pressure cooker and air fryer combo a few years ago and it quickly became the most used appliance in the house. I initially had thought that it too was a glorified convection oven but got it anyway because I was looking for a pressure cooker. The key difference is that it can really get the air moving, eliminating steam pockets that prevent crisping. It only takes 2 minutes to preheat. And since it doubles as a pot, it also does stews. The big hack for me is that I can cook and brown a large batch of minced meat on both sides by first frying the bottom with the saute mode till I get browning, then following it up with 5 mins of air frying to brown the top. all in the same pot.
We have a Ninja Foodi combo air fryer/pressure cooker and it is incredibly versatile. From the best reheated French fries to a rack of ribs in one hour, the appliance is easy to use and has almost daily use. I bought liners on Amazon to reduce the amount of cleaning needed when used for simple air fryer functions. Like others have said, I don't have to use the oven on these hot summer days. I've been looking into replacing our microwave with one that has air fryer functions built in
I love mine and use it daily. I even bought a ninja combi because I wanted more options lol. I like the ninja foodi because it's also a pressure cooker, and makes perfect rice and hard boiled eggs. I use it for bagels/waffles/toast daily, and usually reheat things in it. If you make frozen foods like fries and chicken nugs, it's good for that, and if you like roasted veggies, it's perfect for that too. My oven has an air fry function, but it doesn't work as well as a standalone one.
Depends on the oven. Many models have reviews about being hard to clean. I have a Ninja pressure cooker/air fryer combo that is my favorite style. Pull out the crisper tray and the pot comes out to clean. And the crisper tray even after 5 years still looks new even though it is used 3-5x a week on average. Spray some Dawn PowerWash after use and hit it with a silicone "sponge" or a soft nylon brush if needed.
Ninja with a pressure cooker, so does all round
