Ninja - Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer Series

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.

I recently upgraded air fryers from my old trusty ninja foodi (the pressure cooker combo) to a Instant Pot Vortex XL with the dual basket. its opened up a bunch in terms of useability & ease of use. However to do again I would of gone for the Foodi with the Flex Basket. Id give up the extra quart of capacity to get the flexability of that big basket for when I am doign something that doesnt fit well in the smaller side by side baskets.

Look into the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1. I honestly think it’s perfect, i have one. Get either that or a dual basket one, but the 11-in-1 allows for pressure cooking and sous vide and also searing the steak directly in the Foodi. Take a look at the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 recipe book and i think you’ll be sold - they made a series of very easy, somewhat idiot proof recipes where you can make entire meals in the Foodi and it is DELICIOUSSSSSS.

I agree with thisl. The 8 qt dualzone is perfect for 1 to 2 people. I like being able to cook two things in the seperate drawers.

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.

Got a clamshell ninja foodi Max something or other and it cooks chicken including breaded chicken perfectly. If you want a tip, it's worth getting a small grill thing that stands off from the floor so the whole thing gets heat evenly. When it comes to meat, I can usually toss anything in and it's done within 14 - 16 minutes. Doesn't matter what it is. Chicken is typically lightly browned on the outside and perfect inside. Not chewy, greasy, dry. Don't use any extra oil, there is enough in the meat already. Same with potato fries, they come out nice on their own. Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. If I'm having rice, I use that for veggies too. I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022. If you have more than 2 -3 people it might not be big enough. I don't like the pull out drawer ones. https://preview.redd.it/90u3bmpq9wye1.jpeg?width=3600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2983c5b6b0d4daf757196223e3e8c673f54b4073

The foodi is the best!

Check out the Ninja Foodi. We love ours. Makes perfect rice and so much more. Insta pot/pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker and rice cooker all in one. The only downside is it’s kinda big because of the extra air fryer lid. The pressure lid is always attached. Also the pot is dishwasher safe and is more ceramic like. Makes better rice than a rice cooker and better pulled pork than a slow cooker.

Glad to see this and I wanted to echo the same. We’ve had our Ninja Foodi for 6 years and use it 2x a week at a minimum. It will die eventually, but I definitely feel it’s a worthwhile buy.

If you’re making an entire meal in it, like a protein and vegetables, the dual/double basket is a great way to go. I have one and make our entire meal in it at least once or twice a week. We got a Ninja foodie, which has a “smart finish” option so that you can have things with different cook times, but you can set it so everything finishes at the same time.

I have two Ninja air fryers that don’t have teflon. A Foodi and Foodi 6 in 1 (it toasts, air fries, etc).

Not BIFL but Ninja Foodi took an absolut beating from us. It's slowing down but considering how much use we've got out of it I am damn impressed.

We use ours literally everyday. Prob like 6 years too. I find it takes a while to heat up now it's on its way out but we rely on this so much.

the ninja foodi is awesome!

I have one. It's been such a help and great with limited counter space in our small apartment. I can see why people are talking about the pain to clean BUT I have so far used parchment paper every time we use the air fry/bake settings. I got this to replace my old toaster and to not have to but a second appliance (air fryer). Is been his to us so far.

I had a Foodie for a few years until it stopped working. It was a great pressure cooker and a decent air fryer but I am much more satisfied with separate devices now.

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

I have the slightly smaller Foodi (11 in 1). I use the pressure cooker over the slow cooker for most stews and soups. The smart lid is great - being able to steam and then air fry in one go works well. I’ve made most of your suggested recipes in it plus a lot of soups/stocks/roast chicken thighs. The bigger one is probably better for cooking in layers - it’s tough doing that for more than 2 with the smaller one. A friend has the Instant Pot and loves it. She also cooks most of the things you are thinking of. I thought hers also had a single lid rather than having to swap them. When I made my purchase decision, I honestly felt I could cook with either. It might come down to personal preferences. I went Ninja because I preferred the lid opening to the side. It’s been a great buy. It’s used several times a week and the main oven and the stockpot are almost extinct

Sadly I can't say I had the same experience with the Ninja Foodi (first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year). I really liked the air fryer pressure cooker combo but yeah, can\`t say I\`m too happy with the quality build (the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now).

We like our Ninja Foodie. It has a large counter footprint when in use, but folds up against the wall.

Love my ninja 10in1 airfyer

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer that is still going strong after 5 yrs of usage and it is still geting use multiple times a week.

Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I’ve had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn’t recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It’s not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.

I like the Instant Pot much better. I got a Foodi as well, but am trying to resell it as I don't think it's as nice or useful. Plus the materials aren't as quality. The pressure cook option in my Foodi sometimes doesn't work whereas my 3 IPs always do and are really easy to clean. The Foodi has the Air Crisp option which is pretty nice, but not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy.

Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi. It's also very loud whereas my Instant Pot (I happen to have 3) are quiet as a mouse. For pressure cooking alone the Instant Pot brand beats Ninja out imo. I prefer the basic IP models, as they are really good at what they do, alas the Ninja does more. I like the air crisp option on my Foodi but I'm not sure that alone is worth it. Bacon and burgers are really good in it after pressure cooking but chicken is gross on that one I learned. Ninja just doesn't excel to me in pressure cooking as it sometimes doesn't come to pressure at all. I'm actually trying to sell mine after only using it a few times.

I’ve had my Ninja Foodi for 4 years. Use it daily and it’s still fine.

I’ve had a Ninja Foodi for years. Usually more than £100 but think you can get manufacturer refurbs off of eBay for close to that price. It’s more than just an air fryer. It also has pressure cooker, sauté, roast, dehydrate as well as other functions I don’t use. Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them. Also use the pressure cooker for curries, and you can brown the meat in there first before switching to pressure. Mrs even used it to dehydrate orange slices to make her own Christmas wreathes. We wouldn’t be without it.

We replaced the original inner pot with a stainless steel pot. It works great for us.

We use a stainless steel basket as well.

We have model, I believe: Ninja® Foodi® 10-in-1 6.5-Quart Pro Pressure Cooker Air Fryer

Ninja Foodi does just fine

It’s amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn’t have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It’s a bit of a pain to clean but that’s the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It’s a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it’s definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you’re looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

The Ninja Foodi Air Fryer has a bake setting that I use all the time

I’ve use a Insta Pot 2 quart air fryer. It worked great for me for 5 years. I just replaced with a 5 quart Ninja. Besides being larger which is no biggie cause it’s just me, I have problems with stuff blowing around in the Ninja which wasn’t an issue with my Instant Pot AF. Also, the old Insta Pot AF had a roast option. I noticed most but not all portable models, no matter the brand, replaced the bake option with dehydrator. Perhaps there are folks who do dehydrate, but I personally don’t know anyone interested in such a feature. I’m thought about gifting the Ninja and going back to a Insta Pot AF EXCEPT the model Ninja I have has a ceramic coating which I love and is supposedly healthier than Teflon.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

We have a Ninja pressure cooker/air fryer combo. It works great.

Eu tenho uma Ninja 15-em-1 e recomendo e ao mesmo tempo nao recomendo. Pros: Além de air fryer serve de panela eletrica (substitui um bico do fogao) e faz de panela de pressao, forno com sensor, fermentador, dissecador, etc (as 15 é treta, tem umas 9 que depois tem sub-funcoes. Uma das receitas que fazemos todas as semanas é um frango inteiro cozido com pressao em 15m e depois mais 20m air fryer sem tirar da panela. Contras: O formato redondo limita muito colocar e retirar coisas lá de dentro. Tendo outras coisas da ninja/shark posso recomendar a marca como sendo de qualidade.

My Ninja Foodi came with a non-stick pot, but I bought a replacement stainless steel pot on Amazon. I also replaced the non-stick rack with stainless steel. If anyone is concerned about the inner pot it’s easy to replace. Worth a little extra investment to protect our birds.

Same here. Just buy a replacement pot and the problem is solved.

True. But wouldn't that be a problem with most toaster oven air fryers? Another thing that I read about is that it might not cool things evenly, since the fan is on the sidez and not the top. But I guess that's something you need to experience with

I did, and I found out after buying it that it's not the version you can open from the back so that was a bit of a bummer. But overall, we use it almost everyday and barely using our oven since we bought it. We flip it all the time and it does save counter space. But as mentioned by others it is very hard to clean so I just gave up at some point. I'll probably get a bigger one once we feel like upgrading.

We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.

That’s what I’m looking at, same model but bigger. How long have you had it? Do you like it? I also have ninja foodie with air fryer function and I am assuming the basket for air fryer is also non stick and we have used it forever with birds around and it was fine… but that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter….I’m still nervous!

I have the Ninja Foodie oven one. I figured out some liners that solved the cleanup issue, and it’s my go to for cooking a big batch of chicken breasts.

I have a Ninja Foodi that has been my primary device for years, bought one of these to combo with it as I couldn't pass up the pricing, and I actually use it more often my Ninja now! Of course there are certain functions that only my Foodi is capable of, but when it comes to plain ol' air frying the Gourmia is great

I'd vote for the Ninja foodie. I've been very happy with it after I bought and returned the Sur La Table. The slt is not only impossible to clean, but whoever designed & programed the UI (User interface) should be handed over to ISIS.

We have a version of this - it’s great but a pain to clean

Ok. I've had a few ninjas. The first was my introduction to pressure cooking - https://ninjakitchen.co.uk/product/ninja-foodi-9-in-1-multi-cooker-6l-op350uk-zidOP350UK but it doesn't have the grill and the lid was becoming annoying - so I got a smart lid as it didn't have the separate lid and I wanted to grill. https://ninjakitchen.co.uk/product/ninja-foodi-max-15-in-1-smartlid-7-5l-multi-cooker-exclusive-accessory-bundle-zidOL750BND?srsltid=AfmBOoqBJCamAUix7ZlN8iAf77XlDt24eEIplNkVXvD06gG48vAm6Tb9EJU&gQT=1 Since baby is here I've started to steam food, and the steamer isn't that great as you can't stack food or see food like you can with a plastic steamer. I need the space on top of my induction for the extractor fan for the steamer as I steam eggs every day - so the ninja is now in a cupboard. I would defo get a multi cooker over just a ninja, but then again it depends what you cook. My parents have my old ninja and it suits them. But they are retired. The food does taste nicer, but then you cant really cook multiple things as it doesn't really work as well as an oven. Go to John Lewis perhaps and have a look?

I have the Ninja 8qt pressure cooker/air fryer with the combination lid. Would not recommend. Lids that combine air frying and pressure cooking is just a gimmicky mess that is nigh impossible to clean properly, and the heating element of the air fryer will absolutely rust after being exposed to the humidity of pressure cooking. My lid now leaks steam while pressure cooking, and while it can still come up to pressure, it is obviously not optimal. I would go with the IP 8qt with two lids. Yeah two lids are kinda annoying to store, but it is far less annoying than having to deal with a combination lid. 8qt also expands your options quite a bit compared to 6.5qt and is especially useful when making use of the air frying function, where space is important.

Ninja foodi, air fryer, toaster over all in one. We use this almost every day at home. Works great in the camper too.

We got a Ninja Foodi because it is an air fryer and pressure cooker. Probably better options if you only want the air fry option

I have the ninja foodi pot and I love it. Can’t beat a great air fryer and a pressure cooker in one, plus all the other features. They discontinued them but places like Walmart still have some. I’ve used mine at least once a day if not 2 or 3 for 4 years. I love it so much I bought a backup last week, I don’t want to not have it.

The fans will eventually wear out, but the leader of the pack is definitely ninja. I’d go with the new dual side by side, but if you want a machine the will do more, find a ninja foodi pot. Amazon ones are better quality than the Walmart ones. They discontinued the pressure cooker/air fryer but I love mine.

I have the same one, since ninja discontinued anything with a pressure option, I bought a second as a backup. I use it everyday. Counldnt recommend it more.

Our oven went out at the beginning of covid so I got one to make it through until we could get a new one. It was over a year until we got one. I've hardly used it as I use the ninja every day. It's just hubs and I also, kids are grown. It's just so convenient. I can cook a roast from froze in an hour, or throw in some muffins for 10 minutes without heating up the house. Pork steaks are so good air fried, and hubs does have to start the grill. Walmart still has some, but they aren't as heavy duty as my old one. Amazon has a few in the renewed section too. That's where I got my first one.

Walmart still has the ninja foodi/pressure cooker combo. They’ve been discontinued but it’s still a solid device. We’ve cook in it everyday, multiple times a day, for 4 years. I have two other ninja air fryers and the combo is still my go to and most used. I bought a second one today as a backup since they’re not going to make them anymore, I don’t want to be without it. I did pick up the stainless steel replacement bowl a while ago (not oem) and I like it more than the original bowl.

Concur on ninja x in 1s. Toasts, air fries, bakes - the other "features" are kind of superfluous but the effect is the same. Also, mine folds up to the wall so it takes up a lot less counter space when not in use

Same, I did just purchase a stainless steel pot because my nonstick coating was starting to chip. Otherwise the things been trouble free.

I haven't done a steak from frozen yet. However I love my NINJA foodi for frozen things. It has a pressure cooker function. I can take a frozen chicken from freezer to table in under an hour. It's about 15 minutes in the pressure to thaw and then roast function to finish. I was woried with steak it might be tough.

The Ninja Foodi and Cosori Pro are two of the best air fryers for even cooking, large capacity, and versatility. Instant Vortex Plus is another great choice with multiple functions like roasting and dehydrating. If you want something high-end, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is excellent.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for a compact design, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

Top air fryer picks include Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for compact efficiency, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

I love my ninja 10 in 1. It's close to $150.…. But it's my toaster, my oven (fits a frozen pizza), and my air fryer

Get one that looks like a large toaster oven. They usually have stainless racks and trays which will last a lot longer than the Teflon coated ones. Our Ninja 10 in 1 had lasted 5 years without issues.

I have the Foodi, the one that doesn't need a separate lid. I've had it for around 3 years I think. It's a big chonky machine, but I love it and recommend it to everyone. I use it more than the hob at this point! The modes I use the most are air frying, pressure cooking, sear/saute and bake. The stream to air fry mode is also great for making a whole chicken! My boyfriend has been using it when at my place and likes it so much he's going to replace the Instant Pot he has at his place with a Foodi because he wants an air fryer and it's much nicer to have it all in one. The one downside it has compared to a normal air fryer is that the basket is not very big, and it's also quite noisy compared to dedicated air fryers. Personally, the trade off is worth it for me. Happy to answer any more specific questions!

I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation.  The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.

I love my Ninja Foodie, not only is it a fantastic air fryer, it has so many other functions that I use

Yeah, this is weird - Ninja in the US has always said the opposite and people recommend them highly for that reason. I can even feel that mine are not like non-stick pans, it's definitely ceramic and not fully non-stick. I wonder if something changed, or if this is one of the things Europe/UK have less health restrictions compared to the US? We have a huge movement of objects being healthier for us, including pans and bakeware made without these chemicals. I feel like I mainly see the PTFE/PFOA-free pans compared to those with, now, even in cheap places like Walmart.

Coming back. As someone with two ninja foodi's and have recommended them for about 2 years now. Mine died just recently at the 2 year mark and they wont do anything about it. I have the big one remaining with the thermometer and I hope it lasts.

I had a Ninja Foodi, loved it and the surface area you have with it, it was great for reheating pizza. It doesn't crisp up the food quite as well as the basket style ones, but good enough. The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean. I cleaned it up as well as I could and used it another couple years, now I have a Dreo and the Foodi lives in the pantry until I need to reheat pizza. The Dreo is excellent. 10/10 as an air fryer, and the smart probe cooking actually works great, except I think mine had a software problem that would turn a 45 minute cook into 3 hours at random. A warranty replacement comes soon. The original works perfectly as a basic air fryer, so I'll give it to a friend. Ninja conventional air fryers I rate 1/10. I do not understand how they can not have a window so you know when the food is ready. We have one in our office kitchen, and unless you open it constantly, it is a total gamble how your food comes out. I have had a couple items that I followed the packaging directions and they came out burnt black and smoking. It's too bad because when you get the timing right, the Ninja does a nice job, just as good as the Dreo and better than the Foodi. Also, I don't understand why they have to preheat for longer than it takes to cool the food. An item that I know takes 4 minutes at 400 in my Dreo takes 4 minutes at 400 in the Ninja, but the Dreo requires no preheating and the Ninja needs a few minutes of preheating time. If the food comes out the same from both air fryers, why is the Ninja taking all that preheating time?

I’m on my 4th in 2 years. Absolute garbage lol

Love our ninja foodi

I recently bought the Cosori Pro 2 and it completely blew my ninjas out of the water. I had a Ninja Foodi and the Ninja AF101 and Dual Zone (endless cycles of upgrading and gifting to friends who didnt have an air fryer). Got a Cosori as an extra air fryer. It was $48 on clearance at walmart due to the red color not being very popular. The Cosori performs better than the Ninja in a very key aspect, the removable basket design. Since the sides are also detachable from the overall basket, they can add vents to the side of the basket. This allows the circulation of air to the underside even if the basket is completely full. Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate. In a scenario where both are half empty, they perform the same - slight edge to the Ninja.The removable basket vents no longer makes me afraid of just dumping a bag of fries This is not worth selling your Ninja and buying a new Cosori. These downfalls can be easily solved by preheating, shaking or simply not overfilling. But it's nice to just set it and forget it And just a preference, I infinitely prefer cleaning the dual basket than trying to remove a hot plate from the bottom

which one? my ninja foodie is also a mini oven/air fryer combo, but I still like it because it preheats in a minute

Family of 4, and I have a ninja foodi 9 in 1... Basically looks like a large toaster oven. Our boss bought one for the staff lunch room, and I was sold the day a coworker baked a frozen pie for us. The size and shape make it really versatile. We often throw hash brown patties or several slices of toast in it; we use it for fries or onion rings multiple times a week, and have also used it for roasting potatoes, asparagus, and more. I haven't tried the dehydrate setting yet but everything I have tried, it works.

I don't know if it's bifl, but when it comes to air fryers I've learned that ninja is the only way to go. Specifically the ninja foodi with the "grill" setting.

My foodi is all metal. The easiest to clean of any air fryer I've used too. Throw it all in the dishwasher haha

Specifically the ninja foodi. No Teflon.

It's a square 18"x18" and about a foot tall. It's not huge but it's not tiny either. Perfect for 2, troublesome for 3.

Still works like new!

Ninja 15-1. It’s amazing.

We have the Ninja Foodi 9 in 1 that looks almost like a pizza oven and then folds up vertically to open up counter space. I love it. It fits a frozen pizza nicely. Ours is probably 2 years old, and we use it at least weekly, if not more often. I think they consider the new version of it as part of their "oven" line-up. It definitely has replaced us using our oven for small batches, especially with the fact that it heats up so fast because it's not huge.

I actually just bought a similar model that you linked, but smaller - mine is 8-qt. I say good big or go home. If Target had the 10-qt stocked, I would have grabbed that instead. It's been great so far!

Yes, the Ninja Foodi is one of the best air fryers. It has great feedback and reviews.

I have the Ninja foodie and love it. Purchased the stainless pot to avoid the Teflon type coatings.

yeah this don't go cheap as you will inevitably replace it when it breaks in 9 months. the foodi is good quality and you will find yourself using the other functions

La peor opción Compré un horno Ninja airfryer 10 en 1, al usarlo quedé encantada pero conforme pasaron los días se fue dañando el interior, ya que el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión, tal como se puede observar en las fotos adjuntas.  Hice mi queja y después de mucha insistencia me hicieron el cambio por otro, según ellos nuevo, sin embargo, al poco tiempo volvió a presentar el mismo daño. Manifesté una vez más mi molestia y la compañía simplemente dijo que ya no tenía garantía, no le importó buscar la razón por la que presenta por segunda ocasión el mismo daño el horno que compré.  No pretendía que me lo cambiaran, pero sí que por lo menos se preocuparan de decirme que buscarían que sucedió con mi horno, o verificar los materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad.  Ahora mi preocupación es que las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia.  No lo recomiendo ni por equivocación 

Don't think you can make a stew in one unless you get the ninja all in one pressure cooker air fryer, but it's great for roasting bones before you put them in a pressure cooker.

I got the ninja Foodie XL! I purchased it because I didn’t want to buy an appliance that has only one purposes. The ninja foodie grills, bakes, air fry, dehydrate, broil, and roast. I also got the larger version to do one round of cooking with the device instead of multiple.

I echo this on the Foodie XL. Sees more use than my oven and stove combined

Ninja Max. Best purchase ever, it’s used at least once a day. Would love the double drawer one though!

I think you have to define what do you actually need from airfryer. I currently use Ninja multifunction top lid because I didn’t have oven when I bought it, therefore need something big enough to bake a cake. Airfryer won’t be that different to conventional oven as well so if you have one you might not need one - and if you don’t have oven you might want to have an airfryer that serves as a countertop oven. If nothing specific comes to mind, agree with ‘less is more’ for it. The oil buildup is bound to happen anyway

What? Ninja has been dominating my local electronics shops for the last year or two. I bought a ninja dualzone and recommended it to most of my friends. Sure ninja is a bit of the new kid on the block on kitchen appliances but im pretty sure theyre steadily capturing marketshare from the traditional european brands.

I think we have the ninja foodie 10 in 1 oven thing and we've only used our real oven like twice since we got it and that was entirely because the pizza was too big. There's something great about being like "yes, cook my burrito at 400 for 29 minutes and then shut off" that makes it so useful. Well setup food and not worry at all about it being done because it always is. There's even a thermometer and a setting system to get the internal temp to a preferred temp. "Is that chicken juicy or raw? Turns out it's juicy since internal temp hit 180." Sometimes I'll add things in stages so the veggies don't cook as long as the meat or something. We also went out and got random metal trays from a thrift store so we can load small portions separately. But really being able to setup the oven and just let the timer handle it is the bees knees. The one single con is just because a roast or bird CAN fit doesn't mean it SHOULD fit. If the fan is running and fatty meat is too close to the element you can get smoke from the fat. Which could also happen in a regular oven, it's just more noticeable in an air fryer oven. So only a small family roast, no holiday roasts or turkeys.
