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.
I would get a Ninja multi cooker so that you can use it's other features as well. I have the old 12 in 1 and it's still going strong. I have a new Speedi still in the box that Ninja sent me and I haven't even opened it because this one still works so well.
You’re relative sounds like a tool. It’s a nice product, but it’s very weird and rude to me, for someone to just buy an appliance for your home. It’s expensive enough that you feel obligated to keep it, but many people don’t have room for that type of thing. It’s just weird, like someone coming into your house and just hanging a large picture on your wall.
As for the appliance itself, it can be useful. It’s not a fryer. It’s a high powered convection oven. It does a very good job of oven things, but faster. It’s a decent replacement for a toaster oven, if it’s shaped that way.
We have a ninja foodi with a pressure cooker attachment. It’s good, but we probably under utilize it. It’s also a little small. So it’s sometimes awkward to get everything in. You aren’t cooking for a crowd with then either. It’s good for a couple of people, though. It does a great job in reheating things that don’t typically reheat well. Pizza, fried foods, etc.
Yes and no. It’s basically a tiny convection oven. It isn’t gonna be close to as good as fried.
Reheating things, it does great. I think it actually does the second or third best hotdog outside of charcoal grilling and does it fast. It’ll get crispy and charred.
Ours is a ninja foodie, which doubles as a pressure cooker. I’ve done small bone in hams. 3min a pound after it comes to pressure, then switch to the air fryer lid and toss on a glaze. Comes out great.
Size is a concern for things like that. Some people actually take the bowl to the store, so I hear.
If you’re gonna get one, pick one with multiple functions and make sure it’s something you’ll actually use semi-regular.
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.
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 use my ninja foodi (pressure cooker + air fryer ) almost daily, makes incredibly delicious meals and delivers in half the time or less of traditional cooking methods.
