Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is all you need for your kitchen! When I tell you I love the multiple uses & features this thing has!!! I’ve slow cooked, pressure cooked, air fried, & sautéed in this incredible thing! It’s made my cooking so much easier & not to mention munch cleaner as well since I only have to clean this instead of multiple pots & pans. I’ve cooked steaks, chicken, turkey, beef. Air fried everything you can imagine. I promise this won’t disappoint! Why have multiple appliances on your counter top when you can have just one!

Amazing!!! I just want to buy all of the Ninja products now. I replaced my air fryer, slow cooker and pressure cooker with this awesome all in one machine. My favorite function is that you can brown what you just pressure cooked without having to use any more dishes. The design is great and simple to use. The one thing I dont prefer is that the air fryer temperatures jump around wildly. For example you can set it to 375° or 390° but not any temperature between the two. It goes lower and higher but has strange intervals. I appreciate that you can open the lid while air frying to check on what youre making.

Okay! If you feel like you waisted your money on one product or even two products that do the same as this one Ninja. Then join the team of “team regrets” because I did... I so wish I had purchased this first... Well built and big ... so you’re going to need some shelf space for this bad boy... but its will worth the space needed to store it... but you’ll never put it away because you’ll be to busy using it a ton... so yes, I did have an air-fryer and steamer and I liked them a lot. But then, I became familiar with the Ninja foodi....This one steams cooks... pressure cooks and fry cooks all in one unit... all of my other cooking devices have been Recycled down to my kids ... More over I purchase a second one because if I was going to have two of something why not two Ninjas.... The oven is next to be recycled if these ninjas can cook bread just as well... Hopefully .... hahahaha

Well let’s see where to start. Easy to use. It’s like having a mini all in 1 Restaraunt cooking gadgets in the home. Perfect for my apartment.

Very practical and looks good in the kitchen!! Just the right size, convenient features.

I absolutely love this. Being a single mom of twins they keep me going. This allows me to cook dinner in less than 30 min. and I'm talking about steaks, roasts, chicken, anything and its ALWAYS TENDER! Just get it! It's worth every penny.

My wife and I love this appliance we use it to cook everything. I recommend this unit for anyone who has ever had a air fryer or slow cooker it's so convenient and healthy wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Wife wanted it. She hasn't used it once. I've been doing all the cooking. 6 minute spaghetti with meatballs. 25 minute succulent ribs and the steaks...oh the steaks. I use it for everything. Have not used the oven since we bought this. Hoping the next version is smart that can connect to an app that tells you when it's up to pressure and when it's finished. Connect that to google home/Echo and you have a recipe for super lazy cooking. ENJOY! For recipes I use youtube and experimentation. I have not had one thing come out of it.

After two weeks of cooking various kinds of meals in this Ninja Foodi, I'll start my review of this astonishing cooking appliance by going right to the 'Bottom Line', first: Why Should You Buy The Ninja Foodi TenderCrisp 6.5-Quart Pressure Cooker? ** Valuable Time Saver – You can cook an entire meal for four or more in approximately 30 minutes using food stuffs right out of your refrigerator or freezer. One pot meals to include veggies and meats. Pressure Cooking is 70% faster then conventional stove-top cooking. ** Saves Money – As everyone knows, cooking with a pressure cooker is not only fast, but super-tenderizes your meat varieties. This Ninja Foodi allows you to save money by using less expensive cuts of meat. As a bonus it turned me into a Gourmet Chef serving delicious and tender cuts of meats using a minimum amount of meal preparation and spices. WooHoo! ** Awesome Combination of Cooking Functions - Pressure Cooking, Steam, Slow Cook, and, or Searing / Saute gives you phenomenal cooking options. Then, you can 'TenderCrisp', which you can do alone or combined with any of the other cooking functions. 'TenderCrisp' includes Air-Fryer, Bake / Roast, Broil, and even Dehydrate. ** Simple Controls - Uncomplicated cooking selections in bright, LED, digital, touchscreen illumination. You simply choose the cooking time, temperature, and function, then, touch the 'Start / Stop' button. Your meal starts to cook, and, when it is finished the unit automatically switches to 'Warm' mode for up to 12 hours until you shut it off. How cool is that? ** Healthy Cooking – Air-Frying has gained much popularity because it is just healthier for your family when you use far less fats and oils cooking their meals. This Ninja Foodi does just that and more. As against deep-fat frying it can cut up to 75% of the fats using the Air-Crisping function without any loss of flavor at all. In fact it is actually more flavorful. ** Juicer & Tastier Foods – If you use the pressure cooker first, your foods will retain all of their natural juices. Air-Crisping actually locks these juices in as it adds a crispy layer to your food. The whole chicken I cooked is a prime example (see attached pics). ** Ruggedly Built & Generous Capacity – This Ninja Foodi is built to last for many years of frequent use. All of its safety features are UL Certified. It also features a heavy duty ,6.5-qt, non-stick, ceramic-coated pot; 4-qt ceramic-coated Cook & Crisp basket; crisping lid; pressure lid; stainless steel reversible rack. The Ninja Foodi comes with a one year manufacturer warranty. ** Easy Clean-Up – All of the included parts are dishwasher safe. However, please note that ceramic-coated pots should be washed by hand too keep their life prolonged. The stainless steel, reversible rack cleans more easily if you lightly coat the grid with cooking oil as you would the racks in your oven if cooking food directly on the grid – it cleans up easily, especially after baking or broiling cuts of meats. Issues Of The Ninja Foodi You Should Be Aware While Considering Your Purchase. ** Ninja Foodi Takes A Large Amount Of Counter Space – After two week of regular use I have determined to keep this Ninja on my counter top even though it takes up a lots of space. The trade-off for me is well worth it, since I plan to use this appliance regularly. It is going to occupy the space my mixer was in previously because we don't use the mixer as much. Since the Crisper Lid is permanently attached I close it when storing it on my counter. That leaves the pressure cooker lid and crisper basket needing additional cabinet storage too. ** Ninja Foodi Is Portable But Heavy – I am storing my unit on my counter top, however I cook with it on my stove top, and, or near my range hood for proper steam and heat venting purposes. For most of the Ninja's cooking functions heat is vented out the back of the unit. Depending on what cooking temperature you choose the escaping heat out of the vents can be quite hot – another reason to locate near or under my range hood. Some recopies call for immediate release of steam venting after pressure cooking. This can be safely done under my range hood while the fan is 'ON'. Although the Ninja is portable be aware it weighs approximately 25 pounds empty. Folks with limited physical abilities may have difficulties moving this unit around in their kitchen. For me none of the above mentioned issues are a deal-breaker. However, I am obligated to bring them forward as part of my comprehensive review for your purchase consideration. Over the past two weeks I have cooked a whole chicken twice, frozen french fries right out of my freezer, green beans and carrots, broccoli, red potatoes, ribs and pork chops using the pressure cooker function, then, finishing with the Air-Crisper – YUM! A little garlic, seasoned salt, paprika, thyme, and parsley and I turn into a Gourmet, Ninja Kitchen Magician. You can follow your own favorite recopies, or, follow the 45 plus, included in the Ninja Foodi Recopies Book. A little TIP about seasonings – less is better since the pressure cooker infuses your added seasonings under pressure from the liquid you add to the cooker. Another TIP – try substituting beef, chicken, or vegetable broth instead of water – it brings out delicious flavors when pressure cooking, steaming, or air-crisping vegetables. I highly recommend this Ninja Foodi TenderCrisp 6.5-Quart Pressure Cooker as probably the most versatile and complete kitchen appliance you could ever purchase. Love it! Yes, its bulky and takes up space, but the gastronomical and healthy meals you can quickly prepare for your family with this baby far outweigh those issues. I would give it more stars if I could, but 5 is the maximum. This Ninja Foodi would make a fantastic gift for newly weds, working couples, who have little time for food prep and cooking, and for that special family member or friend. This is the gift that keeps on giving. . . .

So good i bought one for my mother. Easy to use and recipe book comes in handy

Why use a range, different pots & pans, and a lot of electricity. The foodie can cook a complete meal as fast as 7 minutes and as long as 20-25 minutes from prep to final product. Easy to use and clean (less things to wash afterwards). You can cook so many different meals in less time and energy!!!

There was great for deal of the day. But there was too small for the big bird

First, I'm no chef. I can make basic items and have a few go to recipes, but I largely stay in my comfort zone. When I look at new cooking appliances what helps me decide whether to get it is if it comes with recipes and ideas. Sure, you can perform an internet search, but I like having a cookbook to go with the appliance (that I store right next to it) to give me inspiration. I've always been pleased with Ninja products, not only because of their quality, but they're detailed, easy to follow recipes/instructions on how to use their devices and make delicious food. The Foodi is no exception. SUMMARY This is one versatile machine. You can roast a chicken, steam vegetables, cook pasta, make cheesecake, and cook frozen chicken tenders. It does it all. The only drawback, and it can be a big one depending on your living space, is the size of it. This thing is MASSIVE. It takes up even more space when you take into account the steaming tray and pressure cooking lid. EASE OF USE The controls seem a little confusing or daunting at first, but I promise if you spend a little time with the manual/instructions it will all make sense. I generally just "figure" electronics and such out, but I needed to review the manual to fully understand how this baby works and it was for the best. Once you learn how to cook certain foods (obviously depending on your preference) and how the machine does it, then the controls become extremely intuitive and make sense. You just need to put a little work in at the front end educating yourself. You definitely should not be scare away if you think it's too difficult to use, it's easy to learn. RECIPES/INSTRUCTIONS As I said, I'm big on recipes for cooking appliances. The Foodi comes with a great quick guide on how to cook basic things like cooking frozen chicken nuggets, or steaming broccoli. It also has a separate recipe book that has lots of suggestions. I didn't count the recipes but there's enough for you to please any eater. And if you're like me, you'll find the few you like and rotate them. I'm sure at some point I will need to venture out of my comfort zone (i.e. away from the recipe book) but that's okay. After using it a number of times, I feel comfortable in knowing the basics on how to cook various frozen items or pasta for example. EASE OF MAKING QUICK MEALS I cannot emphasize how easy it is to make complete meals and side dishes. It reminds me of the rotisserie oven on TV who's slogan was "set it and forget it." This baby does all the work. It will make the food and keep it warm until you're ready to serve. To make mac and cheese for example, you add the water and pasta into it, pressure cook it (which takes like 5 minutes) and then you throw the cheese in and broil for 15 minutes or so and voila, done. It takes like 3 steps. Steaming vegetables, which I enjoy, is so simple. Rather than boil pot in a water, put in a strainer and cover it with a lid and wait 20 or so minutes, you simply put the steaming basket in, the veggies, however many cups of water, and set it to pressure cook for 8 minutes (or so) and voila. Done. You don't have to test it, or go back and check on it, you throw the water and veggies in "set it and forget it." What's even more impressive is the ability to cook an entire meal AT ONCE. There's a recipe for steak, potatoes and asparagus. You can literally cook it all at one time. No more worrying about a burner here, a steak over there, oven there, it's all at once. Now granted, I do prefer a steak off the grill, but do not discount the flavor and quality of pressure cooking a steak. Sure it's not quite as good as a grill, but it's still delicious. ONE DRAWBACK The only drawback is the size of the device. Even though it's borderline gargantuan, I don't think it takes a star off the rating. It's big for a reason and it can cook a lot of food at once. But you do absolutely have to take the size of the Foodi into account when making the purchase. If you already use an Instant Pot, this will replace it. But it's footprint is much larger. It would also replace an air fryer if you have it. While I was literally able to donate my air fryer and Instant Pot after getting this, I still had trouble storing it. it wouldn't fit in my cabinet even though both my air fryer and the Instant Pot would (at the same time). If you don't care about kitchen space, or having it on the counter, or have so much space it doesn't matter then obviously, disregard this paragraph. CONCLUSION For those that are new to cooking, want to cook healthy, want an easy way toi cook meals, or are simply looking for a device to replace several, this Foodi is as good as it gets. I own quite a few Ninja products for several years and I can say they hold up well overtime. I do not have any reliability issues. Not saying the Foodi is free of any problems long term, but if it's anything like my Ninja blender, food processor or coffee maker, you have nothing to worry about in that regard. This device is truly a joy to use...once you find a place for it in your kitchen.

I've been wanting one ever since my mom let me use her's! OMG, it's better than I thought! I love to make all kinds of things in it- from Steaks to roasted chicken, to jalapeno peppers. Super easy and flavorful!

Pressure cookers have been growing increasingly popular in recent years, particularly self-contained electric ones which allow you to prepare an entire meal within a single pot. They’re fast, easy to clean, and capable of making some usually very complex recipes simple enough for an amateur to pull off. But there are some notable trade-offs all the same. One of the biggest has always been that pressure cooked food usually only has one of two textures: liquid or mush. At least, that was the case before the Foodi came along. I’ll admit, when I first saw Ninja’s claims that they had solved this problem I largely dismissed it. I expected the feature to produce stuff that was largely more of the same with just a thin layer of crispiness (or dehydrated) food on the outside, and focused more on the pressure cooker part. But man, was I wrong. This thing works, and what’s more it works extremely well. What they’ve done is essentially grafted the lid of an air-fryer on top of the pressure cooker, which not only lets you easily (and very effectively) crisp pressure-cooked food, but also means this thing can serve as a decent convection oven in a pinch. The Foodi is an absolute pleasure to use. Build quality is fantastic throughout, with some extremely good non-stick coating on the pot and fry basket which make cleanup a matter of minutes and barely more complex than rinsing them off. The included recipe book has some very interesting appetizers, entrees, and deserts as well as a “choose your own adventure” section which can be used to produce over a hundred different dinners. And the controls are all very easy to operate. Best of all, it’s similar enough to other cookers that you can use any of the many instant pot recipes available online for this with little to no modification required. There are a few caveats you should keep in mind though. First, the non-stick coating does need to be taken care of if you want it to last. None of it can go in the dishwasher, not even on the top rack, and you need to take some care in the kind of utensils you use. Second, this version of the Foodi comes with minimal cookware. You’ve got a fryer basket, a small metal grille which can serve as either an upper rack or a trivet, and the pressure cooker pot itself. A lot of the recipes the cooker comes with will make reference to some of the additional accessories you might want – such as a crisping tray, a loaf plan, a multi-purpose pan, and a springform. Depending on how ambitious you get you might also find a set of roasting lifters to be an essential component. All these are available either as upgrades or in a “deluxe” package. Second, at 6.5 quarts this might be a little small for some people. It’s still enough to squeeze most chickens into, but anyone who regularly cooks for very large groups might want to consider getting the 8.5 quart model. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this cooker, and would recommend it to anyone curious to try out pressure cooking for themselves.

No complaints,,,, I recommend for elderly people that still cook,But! Forget that they are cooking. I’m still learning to use So far I’m impressed, chicken wings are the best, I cooked a whole chicken the best my daughter says it taste better than Walmart’s I’ve also cooked potatoes I have to keep the book close by it is very helpful,, I recommend that you purchase silicone utensils,,,

I was unsure of this Foodi but quickly became a fan. It’s fast, easy to use and clean up is easy. I make my HelloFresh meals in Foodi almost 90% of time.

This works as advertised. Very easy to use. Made some wings from fully frozen in 20 minutes. Cooked an entire chicken from frozen in 40 minutes or so.

I absolutely love my foodi. My only regret is not getting the bigger one.

I have used this every day since purchasing. I love this machine! My two only disappointments are number one it was supposed to have dehydration mode and it doesn’t. Two the cord is very short. But the food you cook in it is marvelous! For two of us this 6.5 is perfect! Just enjoy planning new creations daily! Joined two FB Ninja foodi groups and always have help if I need it and tons of how to recipes!
