"I will never give up my ninja foodi as long as spare parts exist, since they do not make it anymore!"
"the foodi is good quality"
"I’ve had mine for years and I have no problems washing it up after use and there’s no rust... ... Mine has a separate lid for slow cooking/pressure cooking and the release valve detaches."

"first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year ... can`t say I`m too happy with the quality build ... the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now"

BitchyFromTheBlock 1.0I have the ninja 3 in 1 and I love it
brave-excersise-6367 1.0I had and instantpot with ultimate lid, it is similar to the foodi 14 in1 in that the same lid does pressur and airfrying. I loved it, especially for pressure cocking. There it has the advantage of a pulsed release. So you can set it and forget, it releases itself slowly. I miss this function on my Ninja. On the downside the instant pot had only one pressure setting. Even 0 min was too long for sensitive vegies. You would think you could do steaming instead, however it turns out that steaming is just another name for the same pressure function, so your only chance is learning to like overcoked broccoli. The other problem I had was when backing muffins etc. The baking funtion only uses the top element, like an airfryer, leading to burned tops and wet bottoms. This was the main reason I switched to the ninja ol650. The combi-steam functions allow you to use both, the top and bottom elements. And bakeries, even bread turn out great. I too heared that they might discontinue some models, and couldn't find an ol701 for a while. But then suddenly found new models (ol650 and ol750). I got mine with 3y manufacturers waranty and 2y extra extended waranty. I guess that should see me over. In summay, I would go with the Ninja (but your milage may differ).
Adventurous-Bee-5477 0.4Yeah since limiting to using points the oven like product from ninja i can get would be the ninja combination 14 in 1. Has pizza option but again is it big enough and also want it to be able to cook wings good. Its just airfryers seem good as an all rounder as u. can shake fries, wings etc in basket.. I think if I have to and maybe a good thing finance wise long term is just cook half a large pizza if I can't do a whole. Thanks tho for the suggestion im looking at reviews and the ninja combi maybe worth a consideration at least. It comes with a proper pizza tray...and does chips etc as good as air fryers. .. its just a bit large (well yeah it fits a large pizza), but apparently gets hot a bit underneath unlike airfryers. As I rent I have to be mindful I don't damage the benchtop. Airfryers seem to be raised so let air vebtilate underneath it.
JenninMiami 0.4I have a Ninja Foodi 14 in 1 and I LOVE IT! It has an air fryer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, food dehydrator etc! Edit: the one I have has 2 lids, and air fryer basket too.
Thinks the exact one I have! I’ve been using these since like 2017, I think? It’s been a long time! I upgraded to the all in one in 2020 and I can’t imagine my life without it. My daughter keeps her 6 qt in her kitchen cabinet, but my cabinets are totally small because I have the 8qt one. It does take up some space, but it’s my most used kitchen item - I use it more than my oven/stove! Edit: Have to mention: since I got this machine, I’ve made our family’s thanksgiving turkey in it every year and it’s a HIT!
Potential-Athlete325 0.4Just got a Ninja Combi 14 in 1 as I don’t have an oven. Combi ovens are amazing and are used widely in commercial cooking. Basically they use water to steam as well as bake and that’s what this little device does. It is really power efficient and a lot of Americans are installing them in RVs.
warkolm 0.1yeah this don't go cheap as you will inevitably replace it when it breaks in 9 months. the foodi is good quality and you will find yourself using the other functions
Lost_Negotiation_385 0.0We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.
Ok-Entertainment5045 0.0Ninja foodi, air fryer, toaster over all in one. We use this almost every day at home. Works great in the camper too.
sweetwolf86 0.0Get one of those multi-cooker things. I started with a cheap air fryer and couldn't wait for ot to die so I could upgrade. Air fryer/pressure cooker/dehydrator/slow cooker it does it all and I use it almost daily. I have a Ninja but a lot of people swear by Instapot
darfka 0.0Sadly I can't say I had the same experience with the Ninja Foodi (first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year). I really liked the air fryer pressure cooker combo but yeah, can\`t say I\`m too happy with the quality build (the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now).
