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.

I have the basic Gourmia with the window, I find it a very good air fryer. I also own the Ninja 10-in-1 oven that includes an air fryer option, but it does not air-fry as well as the Gourmia. This Gourmia has really gone up in price since last year, but does go on sale from time to time. TIP: Costco now sells air-fryer parchment paper to help with any messy foods. Please do not put it in the air fryer until after the pre-heat, and make sure to secure it carefully with food in each of the corners. The first time I put it in duing pre-heat, and it exploded into flames. Quite frightening, but no harm came of it except a moment of terror. A pack of about 150 is $10.00.

We went back and forth on one for years... finally bought the Ninja Foodie one that doubles as 7 other tools (oven, toaster etc) and we use it EVERY day. The reheat feature is crazy good and the flat design is the basket means it's actual better at being a fryer than the deep basket ones. Get one, best thing in our kitchen beside old cast iron pans!

Do not get one of these. Get a Convection Toaster Oven instead. Same price. Cooks faster. Is an "air fryer". Someone else mentioned the Ninja Flip Up one. I have this and can only say good things about it. It is a stove replacement in like 90% of use cases.

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.
