Good bye Fried foods

The hard part is to get just to the cooking time and temperature per items. But after trying a few times you will find a great mode, temperature and time for your often used foods. I had high cholesterol and by just cooking in the air fryer I am much better no mess. After you cook the food the bottom part accumulates the grease and oils . I will recommend thus air fryer but mine may be defective because it's supose to pause when you remove tray. Mine keeps on cooking. I just pause if I need to…

Pros
  • Very nice. A bit taller that we thought but it does slide under upper cabinets when not using.
Cons
  • May not be able to cook larger items such as whole chickens or roasts

Easy to use - works great!

This air fryer is awesome! Very easy to put together right out of the box. We use this item all the time, makes french fries so crunchy and tortillas as well. Very easy to use, with a push of a button. Easy to clean as well, just throw the little pan in the dish washer and rinse out the inside bucket. So glad I purchased this item, it was definitely worth the money.

Pros
  • Easily setup. Not big on the recipes. However unit works well
Cons
  • Limited cooking options may not offer versatility when compared to larger air fryers

Perfect Investment!

This thing is a beast! I have used it quite a bit so far, and I thoroughly love it! I mainly use for frozen chicken strip or frozen French fries, and they come out perfect everytime as long as you read the instructions on preheating.I have used this a few times to make Jalapeno poppers and those too turn out great, getting the bacon nice and crispy!A very good investment, as I start using it for other things like making my own spicy chicken sandwiches, or steak fingers.

Pros
  • Product seems fine but missing a part; the broil rack
Cons
  • May require multiple batches to cook a full meal

Love this air fryer!

I love this machine! It blows competitors’ air fryers away!I had a cheaper air fryer, which took forever to cook or reheat foods, but it did the job. The issue was the capacity and the fact that sometimes I had no clue whether it was cooking, trying to preheat, or what. It would turn itself off and I never knew exactly what was going on.I knew with a Ninja I couldn’t go wrong. I opted for the biggest size, and I can easily air fry chicken nuggets and fries for the kiddos, and I have had no…

Pros
  • Its lightweight design makes it easy to move around or take with you on-the-go
Cons
  • May not be suitable for individuals with small kitchens or limited storage space

Compact and Easy to Use (Maybe Too Simple)

Purchased this for my 82 year old mother - she only needs to prep small meals since my father passed and this provides her the opportunity to cook many things without using the stove or oven which takes time and extra effort. She loves how small and compact it is - fits on the counter and is hardly noticeable. But only one temp and a timer button - that are easy to use, but might be just a bit too simple. Having the ability to at least pick more than one cook temp (400 degrees) would be a nice…

Pros
  • This works perfectly for my husband and me.
Cons
  • May not have a suitable cord length for all kitchen configurations

Great hot air fryer could stand to be a little bigger I know this is called an XL but it’s not

This was my first introduction to hot air frying it made some really good stuff but I have now retired it and bought a ninja foodie where I can cook two things at the same time and I’m loving it. I am keeping the XL in thoughts of maybe one day I’ll need to hot air fry three separate things at a time and I will take it out of it’s cupboard and put it back on the counter.

Pros
  • Good air fryer, have not used it much yet. Looks nice on the counter.
Cons
  • Limited capacity of only 2 quarts may not be suitable for larger families or gatherings

Works great and easy to use.

This product works great and is very easy to use. We've used it to make chicken wings, chimichangas, home-made tortilla chips, french fries, and home-made taco pizzas (like what Taco Bell used to have). (This is what I can remember; my wife is usually the one using it.) They've all turned out great, and the fries have turned out better than they did in the oven. The chicken comes out tender and moist, but not greasy - which is great because greasy chicken wings will make me sick.We also like…

Pros
  • The clear viewing window allows you to monitor your food as it cooks, ensuring it doesn't burn or overcook
Cons
  • Nonstick coating may scratch or chip after repeated use

Great small unit in my review

Got this for my elderly parents. They have limited counter space also. Simple to use. One temp setting. Highly recommend this unit if counter space is an issue.

Pros
  • The auto shut-off feature keeps you and your kitchen safe by preventing overheating or burning
Cons
  • May require special recipes or cooking techniques for best results

Quality Product on my review.

My model is the AF160 rather than the AF161 I ordered. I had the choice of return for a replacement or a $30 refund. I took the refund since there only seemed to be very minor differences between the two models and I didn't want the wire basket.I got the Ninja brand based on good reviews, but it is more expensive than what would have been my second choice, namely the Cosini. Someone claimed the latter had problems with quality, but it appears a lot on Youtube, seems to hold more and is a lot…

Pros
  • The quick set timer ensures your food is cooked to perfection without any guesswork
Cons
  • May require special cleaning products to maintain nonstick coating

Why Did I Leave it in Untouched for So Long!

I purchased this back in Feb 2021. Here we are in Sep. I truly hate reading the directions on anything. In this day & age I expect things to be self explanatory I guess. Probably why I left it alone for so long. Anyway a quick peruse of the quick start instructions and a couple YouTube videos and I'm hooked! Being a single person, I could truly have opted for a much smaller unit but on the off chance any family or friend were to ever grace my doorstep for a bite, this wouldn't be too small…

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • May not be able to cook foods that require more than one cooking method

Now I know what the benefit of an air fryer is

I had a 10 qt air fryer which i used maybe 4 times. I didn't like using it because it was so big and it didn't really wow me in terms of performance.I bought this one when it was on sale and now I know why people love their air fryers. I made wings in it and the skin was crispy and they cooked in far less time than expected. It is easyh to clean and easy to put away. The controls are pretty intuitive making it easy to use.

Pros
  • I use this for air frying meats. Fabulous for chicken wings!
Cons
  • Limited warranty may not protect against long-term damage or malfunction

Works great on my review.

It’s much more quiet than my old air fryer but works great. I love that it’s digital instead of twist knobs and that it has a variety of settings. It takes some adjustments to get used to but once you’ve figured it out, it can’t be beat.

Pros
  • The affordable price point makes it accessible to all households without breaking the bank
Cons
  • May not be able to handle certain types of food or kitchen-related challenges

Incredible Appliance!

I love the convience of the cooking and cleaning.This is my first air fryer, and it is so useful, efficient, and simple. The results are amazing!My only regret is that I wish I had it 20 years ago.not sure if air friers were made that long ago?Buy one today!

Pros
  • WHATS INCLUDED: 1000-watt unit, 2-qt nonstick cooking basket, and nonstick crisper plate.
Cons
  • Size may make it difficult to cook multiple items at once

Great air fryer on my review.

I love the air fryer but as a new user, I wish the cooking chart in the manual had more information about which cycle to use for different foods - e.g. for baked potatoes: AirRoast, or AirFry, or Bake? Also wish it told what the actual differences are between these 3 settings. I guess I’ll learn to use it via trial & error.

Pros
  • The temperature control allows you to cook a variety of foods at different temperatures, ensuring they are cooked to your liking
Cons
  • May be difficult to gauge when food is fully cooked without a clear visual indicator

Do you have a toddler?

Buy it! It’s so easy to make toddler approved things-mini pizzas, French fries, nuggets-10 minutes or less from freezer to plate!

Pros
  • Its sleek design and stylish exterior make it a great addition to any kitchen
Cons
  • May not be suitable for cooking foods that require breading or coating

Extremely Happy! in my review

I love this ninja! Easy to use, no plastic smell, small footprint.I'm a bit hesitant to use my gas oven due to emissions and all that, but this thing is fast, effective, does the job in 10-20 mins max, maybe 30 for a cake or muffin.Fantastic for veggies, baked beans, kale chips, and so on.Would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an fryer.

Pros
  • I love this. Can't believe I waited so long to get one.
Cons
  • Price may be too high for such a small machine

Multi-use and so fast to cook everything

I thought I would never be able to put an air fryer to good use, but surprise surprise. This air fryer is wonderful and we use it so many times during the week. It takes very little counter space -- about the same amount of space as a Keurig. We use it for breakfast foods like toast, Eggos, tater tots, bacon, grilled cheese sandwiches. We reheat leftover fries, sandwiches, other fried leftovers that become soggy thru refrigeration. And we cook salmon fillets, pork chops, pork tenderloins…

Pros
  • EASY TO CLEAN: Includes nonstick cooking basket and crisper plate.
Cons
  • Air fryer basket may not be deep enough to cook certain foods

Great air fryer! in my review

It does everything. Burgers, Fish, tots, Brussel sprouts, carrots, etc. And all has a nice crispy brown crust. Would recommend to anyone looking for deep fried flavor with less calories. Plus uses less energy than an oven.

Pros
  • Kitchen & Dining
Cons
  • May not be able to cook frozen foods evenly

China Made Units Good, Thailand Made Unit has Burning Plastic Smell!

Bought the Max XL unit for a Christmas gift, it is great, no unusual smells while it is running.Bought another one for myself, it is like it is a cheap knockoff made by a different company.The unit produces a burning plastic smell, which gets worse with use, does not burn off andstop smelling. Also the buttons are very hard to push, I have to put a hand behind the unit tokeep it from sliding away when pushing buttons.Returning it for a replacement, we'll see if I get a "good" one on this roll…

Pros
  • It's cooking ability
Cons
  • Air fryer may make too much noise during use

Great for the most part

I've had this air fryer for a few months now and overall I really like it. It cooks really quickly and the flavor is really good. I've cooked a lot of chicken, burgers, fries and veggies and they always turn out great. Cleaning is usually quick and easy. Only issue I've run into is at times grease from the meat will get into the rubber that covers the feet of the crisper plate, so you have to take the rubber off and clean in them. Only happened a couple times but can be a pain. I didn't have…

Pros
  • The nonstick coating makes cleaning up a breeze, saving you time and effort
Cons
  • Air fryer may be prone to malfunction if not properly maintained
