"All pieces go into the dishwasher, or you can wash by hand and it cleans up like a dream. ... I throw rocks at my old air fryers!"
"Even without dishwasher its so easy to clean since its a non-stick bowl so a few gentle swipes makes it clean in like 3 seconds! ... I just cook, take out food, quick rinse and done! Easy-peasy!"
"It's also much, much, easier to clean"

"Cooks two different foods at different times and temperatures and finishes cooking at the same time."
"Ninja foodi, you get an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, we use ours a lot. You can make soups, hot dishes, bake, broil, pressure cook. Can cook almost anything in it."
"I have the Ninja Indoor Grill/Air Fryer that also works as a dehydrator. ... I actually do use all the functions."

"Hard to know what to trust ! ... I'm thinking that I need to buy an updated replacement basket that is guaranteed pfas free by them in current day since , I don't know what they were doing back in 2019. ... Totally. We're at the mercy of whoever is answering the email. Seems like they could change their mind every other day lol."
03263 1.0I've had a ninja foodi grill one for years and it's still good. I will keep it for many more years, possibly decades. Got it on eBay for much less than retail and it shipped from the manufacturer, somehow. I think $150? Well worth it. I use wax paper liners in it to make cleanup easier, also worth it.
I have I think this exact one although I got it many years ago so it might be different now https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ninja-Foodi-4-in-1-Indoor-Grill-with-4-qt-Air-Fryer-Roast-Bake-and-Cyclonic-Grilling-Technology-Black-Stainless-AG300/882305312 It doesn't get too hot on the outside and goes up to 500F in grill mode. It's pretty big at least it would suit a family of 4.
2014Subaru 1.0I have the Ninja air fryer grill. It cooks steaks great. Comes with a grill plate and the temp goes up to 525, if I remember correctly. I just cooked a ribeye and was perfect. Model is AG301
61542A 0.1We 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!
80sTvGirl 1.0Absolutely I have Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill and we use it nearly everyday day you can grill chicken with nice charr in about 15 minutes or less I make it for salads, chicken teriyaki, for chipotle style burritos, you can definitely make steak, french fries come out just like they’ve been deep-fried you can toast sandwiches literally everything bagels use it like a toaster over makes great grilled cheeses reheats food very well.
9yoboi 0.1Given 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.
ajikeyo 0.1I 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.
Aliciac343 0.8Yes but not any old air fryer, I’m here to shill for ninja foodi grill. Jk, kinda. I really couldn’t live without it at this point, but when I had a regular one I didn’t use it at all. I have a pretty small kitchen and it’s definitely worth the counter space it takes up.
_angman 0.1Foodi 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.
Anongad 0.1I’ve had mine for years can’t beat them
Apprehensive-Job-178 0.8Think of it as an oven that takes a fraction of the time to heat up and won't make the entire kitchen heat up. a lot of them are champs for reheating leftovers. I went with the ninja Foodi grill and the ninja flip air fry oven. I have turned on my traditional oven twice since New Years.
