I have the prestige smart XL and holy fricking crap I love it. I can't ever go back to a standard toaster oven or combo. At first I thought it was way too big and now I don't even notice.

Went with the Ninja 10 in 1 off Amazon for $249 DT551. Have the basket version and use it everyday. Hope to eliminate the toaster oven, toaster , and basket fryer for 1 device. The brand has held up well for us.

I purchased a Ninja Prestige Smart XL air fryer oven from Best Buy. Normally $429.99 and still on sale for $279.99. I got it for $249 on Black Friday. Yes it’s an expensive air fryer and oven style but I like it better than the basket style Ninja air fryer I had that finally quit working. I can cook more food at once and the air fryer function works just as well. It also has a thermometer probe you can use to cook food to the exact temp you want. I cooked a whole chicken a couple of weeks ago and it was falling off the bone using the air roast setting. Only complaint is that it’s a little harder to clean. Most of stuff it comes with is hand wash only and the glass on the door gets greasy fast. But would 100% buy again.

Yeah ive got the "Ninja Foodi 10-1 Smart XL Airfry Oven" with the trays/racks and I only cook for 2 with it but could definitely do 4. Its like 16"x17"x12". It'll bake, broil, air fry, toast, etc. I love it.

They sell this exact model other places as well. Found it at Costco, returned it and bought it from Woot for 40 bucks less. Its a great machine, no regrets. Ninja 10-in-1 Digital Air Fry XL Oven https://home.woot.com/offers/ninja-10-in-1-digital-air-fry-xl-oven-3?utm_medium=share&utm_source=app

Cuisinart sucks just fyi, especially the digital air fryer ones. Ninja is good just they don’t seem to have a good size. The tilt one doesn’t have enough clearance to see or even put things like 1-1/2” steaks and the non-flip one is giant.
