    I absolutely love this multi cooker. Due to the price i did do research and decided on this one. At first i was a bit hesitant as i read reviews that this was a complicated system. It is soooo easy to use you pick pressure cook, make sure the steam valve us closed and choose a temperature and press start. It beeps when its finished. Air frying same idea different lid. Not sure why others said it was complicated just make sure you read if you need water or not in the cooker but if you forget the cooker will let you know to add water! It comes with a basket to air fry in, a pot insert, 2 layer dehydrating trays 2 lids- 1 lid the air frying lid stays attached. It does not come with the little silicone gloves i would definetly recommend buying them as the unit insert do get hot. It is a tiny bit loud when air frying but good thing its not on long :) The inserts are dishwasher safe!!! Best way to save time! I am so happy with it. I use it daily. The insert size is perfect. I was able to cook 4 lb chickens in it. Sometimes i will pressure cook something, remove the fats/waters and then air fry to crisp the item im cooking up. I am a big griller but i was able to make grill quality food in the air fryer. From wings to steaks to italian sausage or frozen french fries etc. I even tried to pressure cook boiled eggs it took 5 min to hear the cooker and 4 min to boil them perfectly. There is a little book with times and temperatures on how to cook everything. I have not tried to dehydrate, bake or make yogurt in it just yet but im sure it will be amazing when i do. The only downfall is that the unit is vary large but not that much bigger than any other cooker. If you like it as much as i do it may sit on the counter for a while. I was also told you can only get this until the XL (stainless unit) on holidays. Which is a nice treat but for those of you looking for them and theyre out of stock wait for the holidays! :)

    We have used this appliance to air fry fish and chips, pressure cook and brown homemade sausage, sauté and pressure cook chili-mac, and a variety of other foods. It worked well and saved time. We were also able to pressure cook 8 pounds of potatoes to make mashed potatoes for the holidays. We purchased a silicon steamer basket to keep the potatoes out of the water when pressure cooking and they came out just right. We are very happy with the purchase.

    I have had my eye on the Ninja Foodi for years but never jumped to purchase but when I saw the price drop last month I had to purchase it. The product is just as awesome as I thought it would be. It’s easy to navigate and with more practice I think the functions, temps and timing will become easier. The Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer functions made my ribs and greens so tender. I have even tried sweet potato fries. I am gearing up for my real test, the long awaited, beef short ribs and I can’t wait.

    This thing is great. We bought this because we’ve been wanting an instant pot and an air fryer. We came across the Ninja Foodi which did both and takes up less space than two different appliances. Instant pot also made a new one that does air frying, so we did our research, and in the end, we went with the Ninja Foodi. It is on the pricey side, but we think it’s worth it. My wife loves the sear/sauté function. She loves being able to brown meats and sauté veggies without any of the lids. This also replaced our crockpot. There wasn’t anything wrong with it, but we wanted to try out the slow cook function. It cooked our roast way better! It was way more tender, and way more delicious. There are a few things we don’t like about it. Especially with the pot. The ceramic coating is easily scratched with the metal racks it comes with but we found a little hack online where someone uses a round silicone baking mat on the bottom. So no big deal. I’m sure there are other “hacks” out there, but either way we are happy with our purchase. We’re also definitely buying another pot and the lid for it, so we can make two dishes and stuff during the holidays.

    I have a family of seven and I love my product! I haven’t used my stove much since I purchased this. I cooked a whole chicken (which came out tasty and juicy), red beans, fried chicken, lamb, steak, and so much more. This is also great for teenagers, advanced and beginners that’s learning how to cook. I’ve already recommended this to my family and friends.

    Nice Kitchen Small Appliance if You Have Space

    The Ninja Foodi is highly versatile and can cook delicious food in a fraction of the time it would take in a conventional oven or fryer. Nine different functions mean that you can use this product in some capacity with probably every meal. Crispy chicken wings take around 20 minutes and come out tasting great. That said, it’s not the kind of thing you can just plop the wings into and leave it. You need to tend to the wings during that time, pressurizing, depressurizing, etc. Still, using the Foodi is a huge overall time saver. The Foodi is fairly complicated to use. But on the bright side, the included instructions are clear and easy to follow. Still, it can be a little overwhelming for a novice. The Foodi comes with a lot of pieces right out of the box, including a pretty big recipe booklet. Unfortunately, some of those recipes require you to purchase additional accessories because they aren’t included in the box which for me was a bit of a downer. The Foodi washes pretty easily, which is an important part of the time/effort value that it brings to the table. One negative is that the Foodi is big and heavy, and you can’t store all of its parts inside it, so it takes up a lot of storage/counter space. Also, the Foodi says that at this size, it can cook for up to ten people. That seems a bit overstated to me. I feel like it is pretty full when cooking for four people. Although you could cook in several batches and still finish before using a regular oven (but then you have to worry about keeping the first batch warm). While I’m on the subject of keeping the food warm after cooking, the Foodi has a nice warmer function that keeps the food warm without drying it out too much. Overall I’d say that the Foodi is a nice addition to any kitchen. Is it a necessity? No. But it is convenient when you need to cook something fast. Just be sure you have the space to store it.

    The foodi is our new kitchen go to gadget. I litterally use it for every meal of the day. There are plenty of great YouTube recipe tutorials. You'll never get bored. I'm not sure if I need my stove anymore at this point its just a night light we always forget to turn off.

    This thing is HUGE. That’s a good and bad thing though. It takes a lot of counter space. And if you store it out on the counter, you will need to find a separate place to store the pressure cooker lid. It’s super heavy but very well built. I use mine at least twice a week and with some practice, it works perfectly.

    I have used the Ninja Air Fryer pressure cookers a few times. I have made wings a couple of times and they were the best wings ever. Steak and mash potatoes came out the best

    Not convenient

    I purchased this for the convenience of having a 2in 1 product but I much prefer my old Insta pot and Bella pro air fryer that I had prior. For the pressure cook function. It takes a very long time to pressurize the pot may be double the time of the Insta pot because I had them side-by-side cooking the same thing for a larger dinner, also it needs a little bit more time I want to say about 20 minutes longer for something as simple as a roast the air fryer is my least favorite function on this because of the fact that the top layer of the shelving gets cooked faster than the bottom layer, as well as the crispiness of the bottom layer is almost absent . It’s not convenient as an air fryer because you can’t mix the product that you’re cooking easily in the same way you would with a drawer air fryer. Also, this is very heavy product. It’s inconvenient to carry both lids because the air fryer lid is not detachable.

    I love my Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer! It makes preparing a meal so simple and easy. Easy cleanup. Nice to pressure cooker meal then Air Fry to crisp it up. Use just pressure cooker, Air Fryer or both. The 8 qt is great for larger family.

    Super versatile, it replaced 2 cooking devices that cluttered my counter and does even more! Only draw back is the grill lid is not removable for storage or when cooking with pressure lid.
