"The build quality is amazing, thing is a tank (99% sure it could stop a bullet). ... I have it for 5-6 years now, pretty much bought it right after release and its still every bit as good as it was out of the box. ... And I use it day and night, summer and winter, water or ice, be it +30C or -30C whatever."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"What I love about our oven vs. the air fryer is the amount of space the oven offers. Rotisserie chicken, 4 baked potatoes, pizza, evenly cooked tenderloin with a broil setting that can provide a crust."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."
"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."

"Uma das receitas que fazemos todas as semanas é um frango inteiro cozido com pressao em 15m e depois mais 20m air fryer sem tirar da panela."
"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."
"they made a series of very easy, somewhat idiot proof recipes where you can make entire meals in the Foodi and it is DELICIOUSSSSSS."

"it cooks a whole roaster chicken extremely nicely ... you can fit a whole roaster chicken extremely- it keeps it extremely juicy"
"I have not used my “basket” style air fryer or my full sized oven since we bought this. Well, aside from Thanksgiving to cook the turkey."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."

"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"
"It gets at minimum weekly use (weekend meal prep) and sometimes more ... I originally bought the Cuisinart because I was struggling to process our CSA boxes every week. It's far easier to set up, use, and clean the food processor than it is to stand and chop 30lbs of produce!"
"Hot water into the bucket with soap, handle scrubber in fast rotations , put it out, same again, boom. Faster than cleaning the cosori."

"The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean."
"My only gripe with the Ninja Foodie we have (the one that flips up) is something dripped onto the lower heating elements and it is impossible to clean."
"Keeping it clean is an issue. ... I am religious about cleaning it, but there is only so much I can do, especially the heating elements."

"not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy. ... Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi."
"I need the space on top of my induction for the extractor fan for the steamer as I steam eggs every day - so the ninja is now in a cupboard."
"that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter…."

IsopodDry8635 1.0I use the air fryer option for most recipes I cook, including all of the above chicken varieties. I currently [use this model](https://www.walmart.com/ip/442307294?sid=a14c067b-303c-4d71-aad2-e8353a3bc51f).
lifeuncommon 0.3I have the Ninja Foodi XL Pro and it’s been great. I honestly think a lot of the “air fryer” marketing is nonsense. They are tiny convection ovens and they do a great job as a tiny convection oven. But they aren’t this special mysterious separate thing. I use my Ninja Foodi exactly like I used my last convection toaster oven and they are pretty much indistinguishable. They do a fantastic job!
No_Builder7010 0.3I have a Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro Air Oven in my full sized kitchen. I love this damn thing! I've often that if I lived someplace without an oven, I'd be just fine.
Sea_Bear7754 0.3I’m the opposite I’d argue you would be disappointed with the basket type. I have a Ninja Foodie XL Pro and it’s my most used appliance hands down.
ajikeyo 0.2I second Ninja. I use my Ninja Foodi XL almost everyday. I’m almost ashamed. Feels like such a cheat to cooking haha! Gifted it to multiple relatives and they love it too.
Opposite_Budget5117 0.2I've had all kinds of air fryers including the Ninja Foodi Xl, Breville, Gourmia, and other cheap basket air fryers. The best one I've used so far is the Typhur Dome (currently on sale USD300 on Amazon.com). It produces the best results but its basket height limit of just over 2" is the biggest drawback. Otherwise it's very quiet, easy to clean and has been very reliable.
splynneuqu 0.2Ninja foodie xl. Just because u have a small air fryer doesn't mean they all are.
Ninja foodie. Up to you if u want the regular or the xl. One detail you didnt mention that makes a difference, are you living alone or with someone?
1friendswithsalad 0.2Ninja Foodi eight-in-one air fryer/oven ! Air fryer/oven/toaster oven/broiler. It flips up when cool to save counter space.
goatcheesestromboli 0.2I've got the ninja 8 in 1. I love it. Somehow toast and bagels are different settings so it's more of a 7 in 1. Love me some bageled toast though
HeroHas 0.2I 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
Personally I wouldn't want a pressure cooker to do anything other than pressure cook. I love my instapot. I would recommend a Ninja Foodi Digital airfry oven though. It replaces the toaster and airfryer plus many other settings. Its big enough where it's mostly replaced my oven all together. It tends to cook things about 30% faster than an oven without heating the house up.
