"I’ve used mine at least once a day if not 2 or 3 for 4 years. ... Solid and dependable. ... I love it so much I bought a backup last week, I don’t want to not have it."
"Ninja foodi is my holy grail. ... I’ve had it for 5 years. ... I couldn’t recommend a better one."
"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."

"poke some holes in a potato and toss it in the microwave for 7 minutes then roll in a little oil and salt then 8 minutes in the air fryer (flip halfway) and it’s better than a restaurant baked potato."
"I love my NINJA foodi for frozen things. ... I can take a frozen chicken from freezer to table in under an hour. It's about 15 minutes in the pressure to thaw and then roast function to finish."
"You just have to preheat it for the air fryer but it only takes a few minutes."

"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."

I’ve use a Insta Pot 2 quart air fryer. It worked great for me for 5 years. I just replaced with a 5 quart Ninja. Besides being larger which is no biggie cause it’s just me, I have problems with stuff blowing around in the Ninja which wasn’t an issue with my Instant Pot AF. Also, the old Insta Pot AF had a roast option. I noticed most but not all portable models, no matter the brand, replaced the bake option with dehydrator. Perhaps there are folks who do dehydrate, but I personally don’t know anyone interested in such a feature. I’m thought about gifting the Ninja and going back to a Insta Pot AF EXCEPT the model Ninja I have has a ceramic coating which I love and is supposedly healthier than Teflon.
r/airfryer • Latest 2.2qt Mainstays Air Fryer ->You’re clearing the ninja one wrong. Hot water into the bucket with soap, handle scrubber in fast rotations , put it out, same again, boom. Faster than cleaning the cosori.
r/airfryer • The Cosori removable basket design is superior to Ninja ->I have the Foodi, the one that doesn't need a separate lid. I've had it for around 3 years I think. It's a big chonky machine, but I love it and recommend it to everyone. I use it more than the hob at this point! The modes I use the most are air frying, pressure cooking, sear/saute and bake. The stream to air fry mode is also great for making a whole chicken! My boyfriend has been using it when at my place and likes it so much he's going to replace the Instant Pot he has at his place with a Foodi because he wants an air fryer and it's much nicer to have it all in one. The one downside it has compared to a normal air fryer is that the basket is not very big, and it's also quite noisy compared to dedicated air fryers. Personally, the trade off is worth it for me. Happy to answer any more specific questions!
r/PressureCooking • Instant Pot vs Ninja Foodi vs Separate Air Fryer: Best for Pressure Cooking (Mostly) and Air Frying (Sometimes)? ->Yes I have the ninja counter top one and love it. I am looking to cook food fast and was curious how well the wall version did compared to the counter top one.
r/kitchenremodel • Double wall ovens w/ the top air fryers : worth the hype? ->I have the ninja foodi pot and I love it. Can’t beat a great air fryer and a pressure cooker in one, plus all the other features. They discontinued them but places like Walmart still have some. I’ve used mine at least once a day if not 2 or 3 for 4 years. I love it so much I bought a backup last week, I don’t want to not have it.
r/airfryer • Looking for recommendations on a new air fryer. ->The fans will eventually wear out, but the leader of the pack is definitely ninja. I’d go with the new dual side by side, but if you want a machine the will do more, find a ninja foodi pot. Amazon ones are better quality than the Walmart ones. They discontinued the pressure cooker/air fryer but I love mine.
r/BuyItForLife • I am looking for a BIFL air fryer. Budget is $500 or less. What are some of your most recommendable suggestions? ->Walmart still has the ninja foodi/pressure cooker combo. They’ve been discontinued but it’s still a solid device. We’ve cook in it everyday, multiple times a day, for 4 years. I have two other ninja air fryers and the combo is still my go to and most used. I bought a second one today as a backup since they’re not going to make them anymore, I don’t want to be without it. I did pick up the stainless steel replacement bowl a while ago (not oem) and I like it more than the original bowl.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer to Buy Right Now Cometh the 2025? ->We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.
r/AussieFrugal • Airfryer oven/ toaster oven single person ->I have one. It's been such a help and great with limited counter space in our small apartment. I can see why people are talking about the pain to clean BUT I have so far used parchment paper every time we use the air fry/bake settings. I got this to replace my old toaster and to not have to but a second appliance (air fryer). Is been his to us so far.
r/airfryer • Thoughts about Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 from Costco? ->True. But wouldn't that be a problem with most toaster oven air fryers? Another thing that I read about is that it might not cool things evenly, since the fan is on the sidez and not the top. But I guess that's something you need to experience with
r/airfryer • Thoughts about Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 from Costco? ->I did, and I found out after buying it that it's not the version you can open from the back so that was a bit of a bummer. But overall, we use it almost everyday and barely using our oven since we bought it. We flip it all the time and it does save counter space. But as mentioned by others it is very hard to clean so I just gave up at some point. I'll probably get a bigger one once we feel like upgrading.
r/airfryer • Thoughts about Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 from Costco? ->La peor opción Compré un horno Ninja airfryer 10 en 1, al usarlo quedé encantada pero conforme pasaron los días se fue dañando el interior, ya que el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión, tal como se puede observar en las fotos adjuntas. Hice mi queja y después de mucha insistencia me hicieron el cambio por otro, según ellos nuevo, sin embargo, al poco tiempo volvió a presentar el mismo daño. Manifesté una vez más mi molestia y la compañía simplemente dijo que ya no tenía garantía, no le importó buscar la razón por la que presenta por segunda ocasión el mismo daño el horno que compré. No pretendía que me lo cambiaran, pero sí que por lo menos se preocuparan de decirme que buscarían que sucedió con mi horno, o verificar los materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad. Ahora mi preocupación es que las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia. No lo recomiendo ni por equivocación
r/airfryer • Thoughts about Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 from Costco? ->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. 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." Sometimes I'll add things in stages so the veggies don't cook as long as the meat or something. We also went out and got random metal trays from a thrift store so we can load small portions separately. But really being able to setup the oven and just let the timer handle it is the bees knees. The one single con is just because a roast or bird CAN fit doesn't mean it SHOULD fit. If the fan is running and fatty meat is too close to the element you can get smoke from the fat. Which could also happen in a regular oven, it's just more noticeable in an air fryer oven. So only a small family roast, no holiday roasts or turkeys.
