Ninja - Foodi Air Fry Oven Series

Ninja Foodi eight-in-one air fryer/oven ! Air fryer/oven/toaster oven/broiler. It flips up when cool to save counter space.

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.

Can anyone who has this speak to how difficult it is to clean? I have a similar toaster oven that's larger, but the drip tray and heating elements are a PITA to clean and it's got more space than this one.

I picked up the foil trick way too late on my current one, which is partially why I want to replace it. Buuut my current one still works fine, and I'm not quite convinced the space savings is enough to justify a new one.

Pizza is absolutely what screwed w/ the heating elements on my current one. If they were more easily accessible, it would perhaps be tolerable, but they're not.

Yep! I unfortunately didn't realize how quickly that stuff seems to meld to the racks/tray until too late. In attempts to clean it, the coating on those items started flaking, and now they're just a complete mess, which is partially why I want something new to start over so that I can "do it right."

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've had ours that we bought at Costco for 3 years. Daily use if not twice per day because we are saving on gas 😂. I ended up making both pies for thanksgiving (one at a time) in here because the oven was full. Love that it has all the functions and is easy to clean. Preheats faster than a regular oven because it's smaller. We're a family of 3 so if you have a bigger family I would probably suggest a bigger one.

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.

Not entirely sure what you’re asking for here after reading the question a few times. That being said, there are 2 possible answers I believe you could be looking for: 1. The model number doesn’t match any on Ninja’s website. This is a common practice that vendors make a Costco specific model to identify it as being purchased through Costco because often Costco has agreed to difference to the warranty as part of there purchasing agreement, or otherwise it’s a different bundle than is offered at other vendors. 2. You want an actual review of the product. I have this unit, got it with a coupon a few years ago, and I love it. Bought it primarily for the broiler function because my propane oven would melt its knobs every time I’d use the broiler. It’s now become my primary, oven, broiler, and toaster. I have also used the “air fry” function and it works really well too. Hopefully you find the answer you were looking for.

We also lack counter space. We like the Flip, but keeping it clean is quite challenging
