"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"

"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"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."
"I think we have the ninja foodie 10 in 1 oven thing and we've only used our real oven like twice since we got it and that was entirely because the pizza was too big. ... There's something great about being like "yes, cook my burrito at 400 for 29 minutes and then shut off" that makes it so useful. Well setup food and not worry at all about it being done because it always is. ... But really being able to setup the oven and just let the timer handle it is the bees knees."
"probably use it for 80% of our meals ... it is great"

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"There's even a thermometer and a setting system to get the internal temp to a preferred temp. "Is that chicken juicy or raw? Turns out it's juicy since internal temp hit 180.""
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."

I'm thinking that I need to buy an updated replacement basket that is guaranteed pfas free by them in current day since , I don't know what they were doing back in 2019. ... Totally.

"it is a motherfucker to roll back it will never be as small as the packaging"
"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."
"Megamat is wonderful but it's not fitting in a backpack, you'll have to take a second trip for it. It takes up a lot of space in the car even."
Given all the research you’ve already done, you’ve probably seen that giant comparison database of air fryers floating around Reddit [here, I bookmarked it](https://www.reddit.com/u/MaterialisticOcelot/s/AuYboNaNB6). It’s super handy if you want to line up the details down to the very last spec. I personally have the Ninja Foodi and really like it, but I wouldn’t really consider it a “budget” pick since it runs close to $200. That said, I do think you get what you pay for with these. I’d be careful about going under $50 on an appliance you expect to last.
r/cookingforbeginners • Best budget air fryer? ->Foodi pressure cooks just fine Depends. Any device with "air fry" mode is going to be a compromise compared to a real air fryer. Personally I find the Foodi's two lid system to be clunky and annoying to deal with. I pretty much just use my convection oven instead of the foodi. I use a stovetop pressure cooker myself. But I definitely wouldn't recommend the foodi for mainly pressure cooking because the air fryer lid is permanently attached. So that would be pretty much always in the way.
r/PressureCooking • Instant Pot vs Ninja Foodi vs Separate Air Fryer: Best for Pressure Cooking (Mostly) and Air Frying (Sometimes)? ->I’ve had mine for years can’t beat them
r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->The ninja went on a double sale (I guess?) right now so we bought it. $278 CAD We often cook meat and vegetables so I think the dual oven style will work great for us. We may consider a small air fryer in the future for small stuff though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I ended up buying the ninja Dual Door 12-1. When I went back and looked it was a further $40 off from the already on sale price so it was a no brainer.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I used it last night. Love it! It's so much quieter than my last air fryer. One thing I noticed is the top isn't an air fryer. If I had been paying attention I would have noticed this! It's more of a toaster oven. It did heat up quick!
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->The top doesn't air fry. It's just a toaster oven. The bottom oven is the air fryer. I thought both would have a fan.. it's not a big deal though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I have two Ninja air fryers that don’t have teflon. A Foodi and Foodi 6 in 1 (it toasts, air fries, etc).
r/parrots • are ninja air fryers safe? ->I have the Ninja Foodie. It can grill, bake, dehydrate, roast, and air fry. Nine times out of ten, I will be using it especially in the summer when I don’t want to turn the oven on.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->I have a Ninja foodi and a Ninja toaster style air fryer. I love the Foodi for home fries and baking small cakes and as a rice cooker. I use it nearly daily. We got the toaster style one for toasting bread, for roasting vegetables, and baking small pizzas. Like every appliance, you have to consider your space and what you cook. For us, it's been great.
r/Cooking • What are your thoughts on Air Fryers? ->We have a Ninja Foodie - it bakes, toasts, broils, air-fries…
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->the ninja foodi is awesome!
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->I had a Foodie for a few years until it stopped working. It was a great pressure cooker and a decent air fryer but I am much more satisfied with separate devices now.
