    One of a kind kitchen appliance

    A couple of weeks ago, my family decided to start looking after our health better than we had been. This journey of a thousand steps started with evaluating our food choices. Once we determined that we needed to eat primarily at home instead of going out so much, we started using our crockpot more. A couple of times my fiancé forgot to get it going and at the last minute, she had to run to the store for food that wasn’t frozen. Enter this amazing device. Since it can cook food much quicker than a conventional crockpot and because it serves so many different purposes, I instantly fell in love with it. The Foodi Deluxe is actually 9 kitchen appliances in one and it makes for a very nice option to cook with on a regular basis. Getting started with it is very, very easy. For starters, Ninja includes a quick start guide that has a ‘cheat sheet’ of sorts included for those (like me) who haven’t ever used a pressure cooker. There is a trial run of sorts that you can run where you simply run some water through a short pressure cycle. That way you get the hang of the process of using the pressure cooker. I found this invaluable because it taught me two things. First, you learn how the steam is supposed to escape at the end of the pressure cooking cycle and second, I found out our dog is terrified of that sound. Space is at a premium in our kitchen. So, I absolutely love that the Foodi Deluxe gives us an opportunity to box up the other devices that are taking up valuable counter space and only use the Foodi for our cooking needs. The first real meal I cooked with this was BBQ chicken. This is an entree that we typically make in a slow cooker. With the slow cooker, we place 3-4 frozen chicken breasts into the slow cooker with a bottle of BBQ sauce and let it cook for around 6 hours. The chicken comes out moist and can easily be shredded, but it takes forethought to remember first thing in the morning that has to be placed into the slow cooker. When the Foodi Deluxe was unwrapped, one night after my fiancé got home from work (around 4:30 in the afternoon), we did the same process for the BBQ chicken, but we used the Foodi pressure cooker option instead of the slow cooker. The chicken was done in 30 minutes and it actually tasted better than when we make it in the slow cooker. I’ve been a fan of Ninja blenders for a long time, but the new Ninja appliances that are being released are really beyond compare. The technology behind them is amazing and I’m incredibly happy that I can eliminate so many large items from our kitchen counters now.

    Awesome Fryer and Instant Pot

    We have had a few Ninja products for several years now and decided to give this pressure cooker/air fryer combo a try. I'm very glad we did. We've been using another brand for "instant" pot cooking for a year or so now and have really enjoyed it; particularly the speed with which we can prepare meals since we have two young kids and don't have a ton of time to cook. Despite that, we wanted to give this a try because of the air frying option. I can say it delivers in every way. Given that we didn't have an air fryer before this product, we decided to give that a try and used our kids for guinea pigs. We tried some frozen chicken nuggets and hash browns that they typically like and asked them to tell us what they thought. They both instantly recognized the difference and both said they liked them more than how we traditionally prepare them in the oven. Winner. In almost every other way, this combo cooker is top-notch. The quality of the pot and the accessories are great, though I'm sure some will find the fryer basket plastic "feet" a bit cheap. Every other cooking accessory is metal and certainly sturdy enough. Instructions are easy to follow and you can get to cooking really quickly. I love the digital display and the controls are very simple to use. For some, the size of this particular cooker may be a drawback depending on your preferences. It is quite large, which, for us hasn't been an issue but if you're hurting for space in your kitchen, this certainly won't just hide in a corner somewhere. Of course, the upside is that you can cook quite a lot at once. Also, some might find the fact that the air fryer lid doesn't detach a bit goofy but we like the fact that we don't have to remove it and have it taking up counter space. Instead, it just swings up and out of the way to allow you to put on the pressure cooker lid. If I had to knock it for anything, I would prefer that the power cord detached from the unit so that it can be stored inside the cooker when not in use. No big deal. So far, we are really enjoying the air frying option on the cooker. "Instant" pot cooking is old hat for us and this certainly has chops to match anything else out there. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a combo cooker of this type. It is well worth it

    Love my new addition to the kitchen!! Bought an Instant pot last year and returned it unopened a few months later because I had no idea what to do with it and was intimidated. Welcome home Ninja Foodi Deluxe – glad to have you! This is one heavy cooker but so worth it to have so many options within one pot. It was also packaged really well, and many accessories included. It comes with an owner’s guide, a small cookbook, little heat resistance gloves, 2 racks, 2 lids, and 2 pots. Now where to start with this… Read the owner’s guide (yep I did) and found that I don’t have a “red” float valve on my lid – went crazy looking for this “red” valve that is mentioned in a few steps - whatever.... Tried the water test to practice using the pressure cooker part – have never used one so I thought I better practice! Ok, moved on to what to cook in my new friend… looked thru the small cook book for some easy (beginner) ideas. Decided on chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. Used about 1.5lbs of frozen chicken breasts that I cut so they would fit nicely in the crisper basket, seasoned them, added water for pressure cooker part and cooked for about 10 mins. Turned them over and seasoned other side, emptied most of the water and moved on to air crisp. Cooked at 390 for 10 mins, checked after 5 and flipped and continued cooking. Smelled amazing but a little dry (note: lessen the cook time here). Tasted great though – see pictures! Cleaned out the pot and steamed broccoli about 3 cups for 10 mins – that too turned out great! Meal 1 down and approved by hubby. Next meal – should have thought about it longer…. Burgers and potato wedges (page 25 of cookbook) Did the burgers first thinking they would reheat easily while I cooked the wedges…. Well it messed up the cooking of the potatoes and I received an error message when pressure cooking them for 3 minutes, it needed more water. (NOTE: do potatoes first) I’m thinking that the machine was still too hot from cooking the burgers (that came out awesome) first. So added more water, pressured for 3 minutes and they were really soft – probably good for mashing! I dumped them out into a bowl and seasoned them per recipe and put back into crisping bowl and cooked for 16 minutes – checking after 9 and shaking. Dumped into bowl with more seasoning and they actually turned out good. Lessons to be learned as I go LOL So, my opinion of this big bertha pressure cooker pot – absolutely a thumbs up!! I have more to learn and experiment with but am up to the task and looking forward to using the racks for layered meal cooking. Also am looking at more cookbooks and YouTube ideas and tips.

    I absolutely LOVE the Ninja Foodie! Prior to getting it I owned both an air fryer and a pressure cooker. Both items together were large and took up vast amounts of space. Both had their separate functions which meant that if I wanted to use them both, I had to clean them both. In came the Ninja Foodie, which changed my entire kitchen dynamic! Not only is this thing an air fryer, but it is also a pressure cooker. One tool, many uses! First of all, where I used to have two different kitchen tools, now only one sits in their place. The Ninja Foodie is pretty large, but not as large as two separate appliances. The overall build feels nice and sturdy, as it appears to be made of premium materials. The first time I used it I tried the "air crisp" function, which is basically the air fryer lid. This specific lid is permanently attached to the unit and folds open on a hinge. I followed the recommendations for cooking that came in the book included with the Ninja Foodie. My food was delicious, healthy, and cooked perfectly. The foodie is even MORE quiet than my old air fryer! Next, I tried a combination of both the pressure cooker and the air fryer. I put completely frozen chicken wings in it and used the pressure cooker lid. Once the foodie built up pressure it took 5 minutes and the wings were completely thawed. After I relieved the pressure, I removed the pressure cooker lid, seasoned the wings, and then folded down the air fryer lid. 15 minutes later I had crispy, delicious, fully cooked chicken wings. They were great! I was very impressed. The foodie comes with a fry basket and a two tier rack. You can cook an entire meal at once, placing meat, veggies, and other items in the foodie all together. I really like the recipe/instruction book that comes with it. It specifically names different foods and how to cook them with your Ninja Foodie. This is more than I can say about my old pressure cooker, because I felt like I was on an island by myself due to the lack of instructions with my old pressure cooker. The Ninja foodie is easy to clean, as the fryer basket is non stick. If you were on the fence about buying either a pressure cooker or an air fryer, get the Ninja Foodie! You get the best of both worlds all in one easy to use package! You won't regret it!

    When the Ninja Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer arrived was surprised at the size and weight. Have been looking at similar cookers the last year or so with my wife but none were as big or offered all the options. First thoughts were there is plentiful cooking area, and like the heftiness of the unit as it feels quite solid sitting on the counter when cooking at high temps. When I first set the cooker up, I thought it was going to be a bit of a learning curve getting the cooker going but was pleased to find a quick start guide that had me feeling right at home with the appliance in literally minutes. With the long hot summer where I live, we found right away that the Ninja does not heat up the kitchen like the oven and stove while cooking and obviously uses far less electricity. A win win. This is a cooker that you can prepare a complete meal for the family, from rice, potatoes and vegies to the main course at the same time. The Ninja has quickly found a place in our kitchen and it is used most days of the week when cooking quick meals like fish and chips to dinners. We have cooked whole chicken which came out completely cooked while maintaining moisture and was blown away with how lovely and crisp the skin was from air crisping. Lovely and delicious. Have steamed fresh fish as well as air crisping fish fillets for fish and chips, it is almost too easy. Prepared meals on three layers from meat on top rack with vegies on center rack and rice in the bottom of the ceramic pot. One great benefit of cooking this method was sauces and meat flavors dripped to vegies and rice below, good stuff. The rice cooked on bottom of pot that was flavored from foods cooking above which added a bit of a crisp edge to the texture. There are so many uses for the cooker from simply crisping up fries or other finger food snacks to simply popping in side-dishes for dinner. It has become our go to appliance for so many items that it has in many ways replaced the micro-wave (never a big fan of microwave). Cooking is so simple, foods taste delightful and easy to operate and manage. Two family favorites have become fries and tater tots, crisp up lovely with excellent texture and great taste without the oil. Love it. Likes: - Super easy cleanup, seriously easy. - Ceramic Cooking Pot. - Cookbook. - Two layer reversible cooking rack - Pressure Cooking is amazingly fast. Pressure cooking has taken me a bit of time to familiarize myself with the techniques as I have never used a pressure cooker previously. It has been well worth the time and effort and rewarding with happy family at the dinner table. A cooking system with many talents/functions that delivers big on the YUM factor.

    Ive been wanting to get my hands on one of these air fryers for a while now. Finally had the opportunity and glad I did. The pressure cooker works like a dream, so much so a man can easily use this. Simply toss 3 lbs of frozen chicken wings in the basket, add a 1/2 cup water, put on the pressure cooker lid, set it and forget it. I was surprised to air fry 3lb of wings only 2 tblsppons of oil is used. Plus the combo works great, with hardly any mess compared to a conventional fryer Ive used at home in the past. Even my wife commented how nice this new Ninja combo is. Cant wait to dehydrate some meat to make homade jerky with this. My only complaint is I wish the air fryer lid detached when using the pressure cooker.

    This is the worst pressure cooker I think you can ever invest any money into. I purchased two of them less than 30 days apart. The first one was damaged when I opened the box. The second one, I used one time and the main compartment discolored after one hour and thirty minutes of sautéing. I contacted their customer service department, and after four days of no help, I finally spoked to Richard from customer service and they said they were not going to do anything about the issue. As a result, I’m going to return it to the store and get something else.

    We have tried lots of small kitchen appliances over the years and I have to say that none has become such an essential part of our kitchen as the Ninja Foodi. It is the one appliance that can do so much, it's a pressure cooker, air fryer and dehydrator all in one. We have two boys that are quite particular about food, they loved chicken wings that we made in the Ninja Foodi and our daugher cannot get enough of the apple chips we made by dehydrating slides of apple. The cookbook that comes with the Ninja Foodi has lots of recipes to inspire you and there are also two books available in your local bookstore and online that provide more recipes specifically for the Ninja Foodi. We're definitely excited to try more and would encourage you to add this essential tool to your kitchen too!

    I’ve always resisted purchasing what I consider to be fad products, such as rotisserie cookers, air fryers, or anything that has a 30 min ad on tv. From what I have observed with friends and family, they take up a lot of precious counter space and get used a few times and then end up in a garage, attic or taking up precious cabinet space. The only things I’ve owned that I put to good use were a crock pot and a George Foreman grill, both relics of my batchelor past. This year my wife asked for a Ninja Foodi and I was skeptical to say the least. All of her girlfriends own one and they keep singing it’s praises. I did some research on several sites and we decided to take the plunge. Turns out this thing is pretty cool. Pros: Air fryer, pressure cooker, rice cooker, crock pot, and basically everything other than traditional oven/stove combo. It's incredibly fast and is easy to understand how it works. I was concerned I would need to go to a class to figure out how to use this thing. Feels very sturdy and well made. Time will tell but feels very solid. Very easy to clean. The main pot has a non stick surface. Cons: Large footprint, which eats up a chunk of counter space. It also has a bit of weight to it. Not a problem for us but may be an issue for a elderly person. We haven’t had the chance to put it through all of its paces yet, but so far it’s lived up to the billing. I will update our review as we use it more and more.

    I had a another InstaPot style pressure cooker, it was cool and I used it occasionally but this thing, I use it all the time! The pandemic forced me to up my cooking game, the combination of an air fryer and pressure cooker was pretty ingenious, I barely use my stove now. I bought this when the Best Buy stores first reopened, the shelves were a little bare and product was sparse but there was this assertive sales woman who was really passionate about this thing and convinced me to get it. The price was a little much and in hindsight even if this was a great impulse buy I should have waited for a better sale, still it’s a fantastic product, well designed and useful for all kinds of cooking. I should mention, being well built also means heavy, if you don’t have extra counter space I don’t recommend storing it on top of the refrigerator. I plan on buying some of accessories to expand its functionality, I’m looking forward to seeing what else I can do with it.

    This was our first try in the Ninja Foodi world and this thing is great. We've had to read up on the recipes and others online but now we do must of our cooking through this thing. I gave this a lower rating on ease of use because if this is new for you, there's homework you need to do. Also, its BIG. Which is good and bad. We've had trouble finding the right spot to store this when not in use because of the size of it. That said, still think its a great buy and would buy it again for sure.

    I love my Ninja 9 in 1. I had a spot on my counter for my air fryer which I got rid of and my 9 in 1 also took the place of my slow cooker, electric pressure cooker and my dehydrator which were in my cabinets. I use my 9 in 1 constantly because it is out on the counter, so easy to use and cleanup is of Getno effort. I use it in place of my oven also. The air fryer works great. I sold my old appliances in a yard sale which more than paid for my Ninja 9 in 1.

    I avoided purchasing this thing for the holidays because my wife didn't want it as a gift. Unfortunately the previous version was offered at a $100 discount. In any case, my wife loves the product. She made pozole in 30 minutes while helping our kids with homework. That is after the amount of time it takes for the pressurization, however, the ability to do two or three other things while you're cooking, and not having to worry about burning dinner is invaluable. This product is almost $300 and my wife said it paid for itself the first time she used it. And to think, I wanted it to be able to air fry corn dogs. I highly recommend this product, and the extended warranty. I trust the build and craftsmanship of the manufacturer, this is a very fine and well built product, nevertheless, I won't take anything for granted. It is a high priced item, and I don't make "throw away $300" money. It is a very large device so make sure you have counter space if you get the deluxe. Please be careful when cooking rice, for some reason the measurements in the recipe book aren't correct and the rice keeps coming out mushy. It is a work in progress. My wife was sold when she saw a "Vivian Tries" product review on youtube.

    I purchased a Ninja Foodi Deluxe XL multi cooker online from Best Buy. I took a leap of faith- usually I buy in person to see exactly what I'm getting and don't have to be in suspense about delivery, nor in fear of it being left unattended at my door. After a little research, I decided on the reknowned Ninja brand and it's favorable reviews. I ordered it on a Monday night and got it in less than 24 hours- so grateful that the deliverer texted me ten minutes before arrival, then another follow-up text with a pic of the box at my front door. (and so lucky I was Home!) I opened the box and let it sit for a few days before going through the literature, registering the product and washing off the various parts. I read through the warnings, instructions and some of the recipes before using it for the first time. I decided to pressure cook a 6 pound chicken and brown it a bit with the air-fry function. I had some herbs with garlic, lemon juice and honey in the bottom of the pot- with the chicken in the basket keeping it an inch or two above it. It turned out perfect. I didn't think I would have much flavor since nothing was on the chicken itself, but it certainly Was flavorful- I was pleasantly surprised. Clean-up was relatively quick and easy. So far, so good. I haven't used it very much, but hopefully this will last me a good long time.

    If you are contemplating purchasing the Ninja Foodi, think no more about it and buy it!!! Wow, I have never been so impressed with a kitchen appliance. So far I've cooked burgers, hot links, chicken, tots, onion rings and vegie Tots. All of it came out spectacular. Easy to use, easy to clean and fairly fast. Burgers, chicken and hot links tasted like they came off the grill and the other stuff was crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside and I cooked a lot of it together, like burgers and tots. Burger was juicy and Tots were crispy, cooked at the same time, amazing. The Ninja Foodi has became our go to cooking method and I can't wait to try other foods. So many good videos online for different ways of using this thing. It is heavy so you want it on the counter and it does take a chunk of real estate from your counter but it's worth it. We love it and you will too!!!

    Received Foodi as Christmas gift after many months of going through reviews. It sat in the box for over a month and another week after taking out the manual & enclosed cookbook. It is very intimidating but have joined several "Foodi" groups online and has made using it so much more enjoyable. Our family of four was eating out 4-5 days out of the week, we have transitioned to eating homemade healthy meals using this amazing device. I have never used any type of pressure cooker and using this was simple enough. This particular Ninja does up to 10 different types of cooking options. I already had a different named brand air fryer but nothing compared to the Ninja. I will still keep it so my teenage kids can continue to use it. The only complaint I do have which is not really a complaint, it has a variety of accessories that may require additional storage. Easy to use, cleaning is quick and easy and make sure you use plastic or silicone covered spoons so as not to scratch the inside pot.
