"It's been such a help and great with limited counter space in our small apartment."
"flips up when not in use to give me back some of my limited counter space"

"Currently on a pork loin kick and it comes out amazing"
"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."
"The crispi makes great chicken wings, fajitas, and does all the normal air frying better than any of those others in my opinion."

"it is very hard to clean so I just gave up at some point."
"You can’t clean the damn thing either."
"the inside is impossible to clean well. ... The walls are the part I'm mostly talking about. I think it's inevitable it will be dirty with baked on oil/grease."

"you can’t put things in it that are not relatively flat."
"The main issue (which is absolutely critical imo) is that they never have room to cook things that are tall. Whole wings, chicken legs, skin in thighs, etc. will never work properly."
"I HAAATE how short it is, you have like a 3in. height limit for anything you want to cook lol ... I mean really if whatever I'm cooking is even 2 inches tall, I feel like it'll be too close to the coils at the top and it'll burn 😅 ... I used to eat a lot of frozen stuffed chicken breasts and I think those would be too tall and get burned, especially being in there for like 30+ minutes that close to the burners. or this one time when I wanted to air fry some fat ass enchiladas I had cooked the day before, those things were chuuunky! Or toasting up some french bread for sandwiches!"

"chicken is gross on that one I learned."
"it can't make whole wings... So instant fail imo."

"until it stopped working"
"I’m on my 4th in 2 years. ... Absolute garbage lol"
"el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión ... volvió a presentar el mismo daño ... materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad ... las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia"

"I just tried ours for the first time and I'm getting the same issue. Our previous, single-zone Ninja made food much crispier"
"slower than a traditional slot toaster ... you get a mild toast in 3-4 mins and a strong toast in 4-5 mins"
My roommates and I recently went with the Ninja 6-in-1 since we cook together a lot and it's been great. I'm a sucker for a simple UX/not overcomplicating things when it comes to kitchen stuff and it seemed like one of the better options on that front. Also have a ninja blender so I know they make decent stuff. Would recommend to just go with the one that fits your intended use. You don't want to get a big bulky one that will stick out on your counter if you don't need to.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer Right Now? Recommendation? ->So I have two air fryers. Both are ninjas. One is single and one is dual. I do agree the single is better. It's really convenient to have three air fryers when making something like air fryer chicken, roasted veggies & fresh french fries. I can make all three at the same time and eat at the same time. Super convenient. Also if making wontons and spring rolls. I have a pretty busy job, a young child & a husband who doesn't cook. So for me worth it to have all. I also have enough space in my kitchen.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->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? ->Yup I did a post on mine several months ago. Definitely takes more time when cooking with both sides and it can be hard to figure out timing. I wish I stuck with my single one.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I just mean in the sense that it cooks a lot slower using both sides vs one so have to figure out timing for stuff to be done. It isn't the usual times I would set when using just one side. Apparently this is an issue in the US due to voltage from what I was told numerous times on my last post. Just wish I knew before I got it. If you're in the US and this one takes just as long when you use both sides, you're lucky I guess. 🤷♀️ i have much longer cook times using both sides than I do with one, or with my one basket ninja I used to have.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->It's not about the cooking method. Brining/marinading + making sure they are flat and more or less equal in thickness + taking it out at the right internal temperature is the key. I know double stack ninja model has a built in thermometer for monitoring food temp, but you can buy one separately. It will level up your chicken breasts.
r/airfryer • My very first air fryer ->I second Ninja. I use my Ninja Foodi XL almost everyday. I’m almost ashamed. Feels like such a cheat to cooking haha! Gifted it to multiple relatives and they love it too.
r/rant • Every single air fryer recipe is a fucking lie ->We also lack counter space. We like the Flip, but keeping it clean is quite challenging
r/Costco • Air fryer recommendations? Ninja? ->This thing is the best.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Airfryer to Buy Right Now? ->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
