lots of good with a couple bads
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use an air fryer in our house quite a bit, they are simple, quick and efficient. I love the features of the Ninja Flexbasket on paper but I think they missed the mark on a couple things. The Ninja Flexbasket is quieter in operation than our previous air fryers, definitely a plus. Having the dual zones/Flexbasket is perfect for doing meals for 2 and having 2 separate cooking times and temps. Being able to cook meat and a veggie at the same time makes this an even more convenient cooking appliance. The smart finish, also a great feature when cooking 2 different dishes, no need to babysit the cooking and take one item out, or add an item. Just put your 2 foods in, set the time and temp individually on both, hit smart finish and walk away. Or if we are doing a large ‘batch’ of something, remove the divider, fill the full basket and use it as one large unit, the best of both worlds. When you are all done, the basket, divider and trays are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. All great points and things I like about this. The bad points that I think are missed…. The overall form factor, mainly the handle. I dont understand the reasoning behind the wrap around handle, maybe aesthetics? In reality it just makes the unit a few inches wider than it really needs to be, and with our cabinets, its too wide to fit in the door unless you shuffle it sideways. If you are keeping this on the countertop, not an issue, but if you want to store it in the cabinets you might want to see if it will fit first. The other miss, other air fryers we’ve had, have silicon feet of some sort on the bottom of the basket. When you pull the hot basket out of the unit, you can just let it sit on the counter. This Ninja Flexbasket has no heat resistant feet of any sort on the bottom, so if you set it on your counter you could burn the countertop. All in all, I was only going to give 3 stars due to the misses.. But, I understand those may only be a miss for certain use cases and overall the unit has nice features and seems to work well so I’ll go with 4 stars.

Not bad for my first time!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After seeing friends, family and neighbors purchase an air fryer, I was so excited to be able to join in on the fun after getting the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7-qt MegaZone. With a toddler, this thing has saved both me and my wife lots of time in the kitchen and has transformed her karage (Japanese fried chicken) into something much less unhealthy to eat! But what we really love about this is that it isn't limited to air frying. We've been able to use the bake feature for desserts and vegetables and we've been able to use the dehydrate feature to try to make homemade dog treats. Where this machine really stood out for us was the ability to cook two separate things simultaneously using different cooking methods, different cooking temperatures, and different cooking times. Not only that but it will even start each item at the appropriate time so everything finishes together...if you want it to. For me personally, I prefer my steak to be done a few minutes before everything else so it can rest after cooking. And with the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer I can also set my steak to finish first so it has time to rest...like a good steak should. At the end of the day I would highly recommend this air fryer and very much am looking forward to the next time I use it. And the next time....and the time after that...

Delicious Convenience!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7-qt MegaZone for about 6 months now, and I'm absolutely in love with it! It's the most versatile and easy-to-use air fryer I've ever tried. Here are some of the things I love about it: It's huge! The 7-qt MegaZone basket is big enough to cook a whole chicken or a family-sized meal in one batch. It's flexible. The FlexBasket divider allows you to cook two different foods at the same time, with different cooking times and temperatures. This is perfect for busy weeknights when you don't have time to cook two separate meals. It's easy to use. The digital touchscreen controls are intuitive and easy to use. You can select from 6 different cooking functions: Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. It's healthy. Air frying uses up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods, so you can enjoy your favorite foods without the guilt. I've used the Ninja Foodi to make everything from chicken nuggets and french fries to roasted vegetables and salmon. The food always turns out crispy and delicious. One of my favorite things about the Ninja Foodi is how easy it is to clean. The basket and divider are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. Overall, I give this Air Fryer a Highly Recommend!

Ninja just keeps getting better!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ninja has to be one of the premier air fryers manufacturers to date because of how evolved their air fryers become with every release. I remember when I had my first air fryer, and it was just a single knob! With this release of the Flex Basket with a generous 7-qt usable space makes it very versatile for everyday usage. Single serve frozen pizza here I come! Air fryers has become a staple in nearly every household kitchen now and days. So, with its dual chamber enabling one to fry two items at once or even a small to medium size whole chicken with ease. What I do like the most about the Flex Basket is how easy the controls are... with the options to air broil, air fry, roast, bake, reheat (which is my MOST used option) and dehydrate, it makes the Flex Basket truly an all in one must have in any household. It literally replaced the microwave and does a better job at reheating too! With additional stickers which tells you how long it takes to cook a certain item (which is removable btw), comes in handy, at least for me. I'm a simple guy who works a lot, so when it comes to dinner, I honestly prefer quick easy meals, and THIS helps me with that. Easy to clean too! Thanks Ninja.

Multi-Use Wonder
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja Foodi Flex Basket Air Fryer has truly impressed me with its versatility and performance. As a cooking enthusiast always looking for innovative kitchen appliances, I found this air fryer to be a game-changer. The air fryer has a sleek, modern design that seamlessly fits into any kitchen decor. The intuitive control panel and easy-to-read digital display make navigating cooking options a breeze. What sets this air fryer apart is its unique flex basket design. The reversible basket can be used for air frying, roasting, and dehydrating. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple kitchen appliances, saving space and money. I was pleasantly surprised by the consistent and exceptional cooking results this air fryer delivers. The hot air circulation technology ensures that dishes come out evenly cooked and delightfully crispy. Operating the fryer is a straightforward process. The pre-programmed settings take the guesswork out of cooking times and temperatures, which is a great feature for those new to air frying. Additionally, cleaning is hassle-free thanks to the basket's non-stick coating and the dishwasher-safe removable parts. The Ninja Foodi Flex Basket Air Fryer has won me over. I even removed another multi-use appliance off my counter and put this air fryer in its place.

Great Air fryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far loving this air fryer. That said you are probably wondering, then why a 4 star. The only thing I would have liked to have seen with this is maybe 3 baskets. 2 smaller baskets and then a big basket. I like air frying fries or tator tots and after they are done, I like to be able to dump them out onto my plate or bowl. This is not easy to do as this does not have baskets that can come out. So, we either have to try to tilt the whole unit, or now have to use a spatula or use tongs. That said, I still love using this. I love that it does have 2 zones on it, or you can also use it as 1 big zone. If you have a little bit to air fry, you can just use it on 1 side. If you have a lot, you can either use the whole thing and remove a divider piece or you can just use both sides and then set one side and then you can select to have the other side set the same settings. I also like that if you air fry 2 different things, you can set each side differently and if one side takes 12 minutes, and the other 9 minutes you then can set it to not start the 9 min one until the 12-minute side gets down to 9 min and then it will start it so both sides will get done at the same time. You do have to press the buttons. We have another air fryer and the buttons you barely press them. But this air fryer we had to press a bit more on the buttons. Overall, a nice air fryer to use and especially if you do like air frying a couple different things, or even things that are a bit longer like those burritos or hot dogs. If you don't mind the lack of having a basket then you would enjoy this air fryer.

Great air fryer and appliance for any kitchen
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7qt MegaZone is a fantastic countertop appliance that is versatile in what it can cook and how it can cook it. It is mostly black with silver highlights, and the dimensions are 18.5 inches by 11.75 inches by 11.25 inches. According to the package it weighs 17 lbs and that feels about right. It seems more compact than other air fryers I've owned but the 7 quart air fryer basket is as big as any I've had and is a convenient size. The cord is 32 inches long. Out of the box it came with the air fryer, the 7 qt cooking basket, 2 crisper plates, the cooking basket divider, and a collection of recipes and cooking charts which are quite accurate. There are six cooking functions: Air Fry, Bake, Dehydrate, Roast, Reheat, and Air Broil. Air Fry is the typical air frying function which I used with french fries. I wasn't experienced enough to try the Bake function for desserts, nor the Dehydrate function. I tried Roast with a 2 lb roast beef and it cooked perfectly with some small potatoes and small carrots, with room to spare. It was so juicy and delicious. I did use it for Reheat and I prefer it to my microwave whenever that is practical. The Air Broil function is amazing for melting cheese on baked potatoes or fries, or making crisp edges on hamburgers. The Megazone allows you to use the full 7 qt basket for cooking but you can add the divider to make 2 3.5 qt baskets. With the divider in, you can cook 2 different things on the same setting or on 2 different settings. There is a setting for Smart Finish that allows both smaller sections to finish cooking at the same time even when they are cooked on different settings with different temperatures and times. If you are looking to make an item particularly crispy, insert the crisper plates into the bottom of the basket. It lifts the food up and allows the heated air to circulate under and around to crisp the item evenly. The Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7qt MegaZone has cooked every item I have used it with to perfection. It worked with fries, it worked with a beef roast, it worked with cheeseburgers, it worked with baked potatoes, and it has worked with reheating leftovers without heating up the house or the uneven heating of a microwave. I've owned a few air fryers previously, but this unit is the best all-around package. I recommend for all kitchens.

The PERFECT airfryer!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried that the 7 Quart Mega Zone would still be too big for my tiny apartment. However, it is the perfect size. This size is hard to find, I am so lucky that BestBuy still carries it. Fast shipping with updates, I am super happy. The Airfryer works wonders and comes with tons of recipes.

Ninja does it again
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’m a huge ninja fan. I pretty much have every gadget ever made by ninja and I would say that about 90% are of excellent quality and made to last. This one is definitely in that 90% category! First off the sheer look of this thing is very classy. It’s not an eyesore to just leave out on the counter with my other kitchen appliances. Sometimes the ninja products even though they work excellent they need to be put away after every use. This isn’t one of those items. Second the capacity of this thing is unreal. You could fit a turkey in this thing no problem there is a ton of room. It heats up very quickly probably my biggest complaint with items like this from ninja is the preheat time but this one is an exception to the rule. I literally can’t think of one negative thing to say about this airffry beast. I’ve owned a lot of them and this one is by far the best out of any I’ve owned. If you’re in the market for a new one or a first one then you really can’t lose with this. Ninja has done it again!

Smart little appliance!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this so we didn’t need to heat a large oven for small dishes and it works great. I like the option to prepare two different dishes while using the divider. This air fryer has an intelligent setting that allows the dishes to finish at the same time. With the divider removed, I can cook larger portions. I watched some helpful YouTube videos for air fryer tips and tricks. This takes up some counter space so, that’s a consideration if you have a small kitchen

Air Fryer Foodi's Delight!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer has become a staple in our kitchen. There is everything to love, and nothing to hate. I've owned and used several air fryers over the years, and this is hands down the best. Why? Well I'm glad you asked. Let's start with the outward appearance. Not many kitchen appliances "look good", but this is one of the exceptions. While it does have some size to it, the overall footprint appears much less. The rounded corners, and black and silver trim finish provide a higher end feel than most air fryers. A slightly squatted stance fits nicely under cabinets while still allowing full use of the basket. Speaking of baskets - the front pull dual baskets are amazing. First of all, you can cook two separate items in the split baskets, or remove the divider to make one "mega" basket for larger items. When cooking two separate items, you can do so at two separate temps and cook times. But if you're really looking for some magic, you can program each basket separately AND have them finish cooking at the SAME TIME! It takes all the guess work out, does the math, send the signals to the satellites, and... ok, you get the point. I love this feature and it works amazingly well. The baskets are about 3.5qts each which allows for a whopping 7qts without the divider. There are multiple programming options, including a duplicate setting where you can program the first side then duplicate that setting to the second side. This is very handy when you are cooking two different items that have the same cook settings. Food cooks evenly and quickly. There is a cooldown feature at the end of each cooking cycle, and food stays warm inside the fryer for quite some time. During cooking the noise level is certainly audible, but far less than all other air fryers I've used. Standing right next to it you can still have a conversation without needing to raise your voice. When cooking is complete there is an alarm to let you know. I have nothing but praise for this item. Just like pretty much all Ninja products, this Foodi Air Fryer is well made, works flawlessly, and looks great. I would absolutely recommend this item to anyone.

Handy Air Fryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket Air Fryer. I live in Arizona where it’s hot for half of the year, so I really don’t like using the oven for that time. This Ninja Air Fryer is super convenient for me and allows me to make lots of things without turning on the oven. The 7 quart FlexBasket means you can cook larger items. The basket is about 13” x 8”, so you can use baking pans smaller than those dimensions. There is also a divider that allows you to cook 2 different foods at the same time with different settings, such as chicken on 1 side and potatoes on the other. There are only 4 items that need to be washed, the basket itself, the divider, and 2 crisper plates. All of which can be washed in the dishwasher, although the manual advises that they will last longer if hand washed. I’ve had good success making chicken breast, hamburgers, bacon, and meatballs, as well as brownies and cookies. It also works great for reheating pizza. My only real complaint is that the included manual and website are lacking in information for use of Air Broil, Roast, and Reheat buttons. There’s really no information on when it’s best to use those settings rather than Air Fry or Bake. Fortunately, there are lots of other Air Fryer resources on the internet.
