Always makes my food right, crispy, and perfectly. Better than a microwave and faster than an oven. I knew air fryers were good based on all the praise they get in media and at the work place. BUT DAMN ITS ACTUALLY GOOD. had it a few months now, hasn't broke or anything, pretty decent to clean too. PRO TIP: Use tinfoil and MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T TOUCH THE HEATING COIL PARTS. Tinfoil helps with an easy clean up and you can just cook food on top of it. Learned this from a coworker but keep caution of the coils with the tinfoil cause that could be real bad.

Daughter had a ninja, although she has the big daddy one with two baskets. I got this one after seeing how easy it was to use. I can now cook steak and chicken and it actually tastes great! Hamburgers, I don't like so much in here, but that's okay. Mozz sticks, fish sticks: so much better in here than the oven and in half the time. This model isn't super quiet; you definitely know it's on. Super easy to clean! I have even taken a wipe to clean the upper portion where there WILL be some grease that collects. Time will tell how bad that grease will get as there is no easy way to clean around the heating element. This is plenty big for 2 people. If you had a family of five you would need to go up a size.

After ordering (and returning) five other air fryers that didn't perform or operate the way I needed them to (big box stores and other retailers), I logged onto Amazon to look at what else was available. After a few days of comparisons, I decided to try this one. So happy with this purchase and finally an air fryer that I will keep! The larger sized basket is squared vs round; I have air fried an entire chicken and it was delicious - moist and flavorful but nicely browned on the exterior. Air fried vegetables, pot stickers, and took it with me to a party to air fry chicken wings. The unit is well made and sturdy feeling, and a good weight that I can lift it around even with a bad shoulder. I also love the placement of the control buttons right on the front in large enough size that I can see it without reading glasses. All in all this was an excellent choice for me.

Just received my Ninja 4-in-1 pro air fryer yesterday. Love it. The Ninja cooks a hand made burger and steak fries at 375 degrees in 11 min. Perfect, Tried grilled cheese in air fryer and it did great. In fact it cooks 1 min faster than my Instant vortex air fryer on everything, but I think the reason is the Ninja is 5qts, and the Instant is 6qts, a little larger. Anyway I love both air fryers. I use one or both every day. Great products. The color is black which I like in an air fryer. The control buttons are in the front which I like on this air fryer because it is in a nook, where you don't see the top like the Instant vortex, which are near the top and it sits on the counter. It seems to really be made well, very sturdy.

Amazing air fryer! The XL capacity easily fits big portions like wings, and the 6‑in‑1 functions make cooking super versatile. Easy to clean, fast, and delivers crispy, delicious results every time.

Bought the 4qt unit on 9/9/2024. The basket style air fryer is my favorite style and this unit works very well! I've used it for frozen items and fresh. Raw chicken legs, thighs and wings turn out crisp and juicy. Steak turns out browned and juicy. It makes awesome "grilled" sandwiches (grilled cheese, etc.). It's mostly easy to clean. Wipe out, rinse out and or dishwasher. At times, I've not placed the tray properly; so, the tray will fall out when dumping food if it's not seated properly. The coating on this machine started flaking off of the basket after the 1st month. Since it wasn't an area that touched food, I have continued to use it. A year later it is much worse, but it is still only the basket losing coating; the tray is good. I'm going to get a new machine and will probably end up with another Ninja. I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is my 3rd air fryer over the years and by far the best. There is no strong plastic smell once you do a quick burn off, this was a problem with my previous air fryer where the smell lingers. This air fryer has become a family favorite. It's super fast to make fries from frozen using the max crisp function and honestly equally fast making them from scratch. I had made salmon, beef Kebabs and even reheated bread. This air dryer is versatile and the perfect size for a family of 4. Doesn't take a lot of counter space and is super easy to clean. The instructions are super well written and the setup took a minute. Worth every penny

This was is an excellent purchase for me, I love my Ninja Air Fryer! It’s easy to use and the just the right size for me! I cook for myself and my husband so I can put 4 pieces of chicken in the fryer so it’s the perfect size and doesn’t take up too much space on my counter. The frozen fries are so nice and crispy that I can’t stop eating them!
