XL Pro Air Fry Oven (DT202BK)

I’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.

I 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!

We use the Ninja air fryer that flips up for more counter space. We have had it for well over 3 years. It works good as an air fryer. Makes good toast and has other functions. I travel and regularly use other types of air fryers and many of the basket style work great but are smaller in capacity. I can vouch for the Ninja 8 in 1.

I have used both the basket type and this type. Both work fine as air fryers 🤷‍♂️

I do like the bucket style for wings and such. But for Salmon, Cod, and other fish the 8:1 works great.

I have this and the air frying function doesn’t work anything like a real air fryer. It’s a toaster oven that has a shallow basket like rack. That is all.

Air fryer: I have the Air Fryer Pro XL. It works fantastic but the fan on its a little aggressive and can push around lightweight foods and suck up parchment paper into the heating element. A friend has the Crispi and loves it. Ninja HyperHeat: I got this pressure cooker/slow cooker/multi-use cooker and I absolutely love it. I've never had an pressure cooker before and this thing makes dinners so much easier. Its also got a MASSIVE inner pot so I donated my slow cooker that I rarely used anyway to have space for this. I use it atleast 1-2x a week. Blender: I use a nutribullet pro and its gone strong for 4 years now being used daily. My husband makes a protein coffee smoothie in the morning everyday during the week before work. Its easy to clean, its not bulky and doesn't take up much space on the counter which I love. Coffee maker: I picked up a Philips 2200 semi-auto espresso machine. It gets daily use from my husband and my MIL who absolutely love it. It makes horrid black coffee, and pretty mediocre straight espresso thats way to acidic (though a large part of that is likely the bean choice my husband and MIL prefer and want to stick with. If you make milk drinks though having a semi-auto has been a sharp increase in QoL for my husband specifically.
