  • Compact, easy to clean, great design
Style: 5.5 QT MAX
I wish this came in an XXL size. The design is sleek, simple, and modern, which fits my kitchen perfectly, but the size is too compact. You won’t be able to cook a whole chicken unless it’s very small. Aside from that, it’s definitely a great value for the price. I used to have a Philips XXL air fryer, which was easy to maintain and spacious enough to cook anything without any issues, like flipping beef or fish steaks. However, that one cost over $300. This one is less than half the price, and I don’t notice much difference in cooking results, except for the smaller basket size. It’s easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and comes with an attachable layer inside the basket that creates a small gap from the bottom, allowing food to cook evenly without needing to flip it too often. Just be careful with the extra crispy function—it definitely makes your food crispier, but you might want to reduce the cooking time from the recipe to avoid burning. ... show more

  • Best appliance since the microwave!!!
Style: 4 QT
Been having this fryer for 2 weeks now and it has NOT rested yet. I LOVE IT & wonder how I've gone this long w/out one. Before I start bragging on this thing, I am by no way endorsed by Ninja or getting paid by them. I've owned a few Ninja products blenders and still have one that's over 10 years old. They make quality machines. This fryer is a life & time saver...especially if you're a lazy cook. I have been researching air fryers for the past few months and nothing comes close to the Ninja. The basket size isn't the large 5+ quart capacity like the bigger fryers, (Ninja is only 4qt), but this thing cooks so fast you won't miss the extra 1 qt. It comes w/ a crisper that works perfectly, a recipe book and a multi-layer rack. The first night I had it I made wings and I tell you that I will NEVER buy fried chicken again!!! Yes, they were that crispy and tasted much better. I bought the Louisiana fried chicken flour from Walmart, battered the wings, spritzed w/ a little olive oil and had fried chicken in 10 minutes. No greasy mess, no 3rd degree burns from hot oil, and your house doesn't smell like a chicken joint for 4 days afterward. Because the Ninja uses a ceramic coating on their fryers the clean up is very easy. Next, I made sweet potato fries! Had a bag of frozen ones in the freezer and popped those babies in for 10 min. They were crispier than McDonald's. I tried homemade fries but the procedure takes too long. You have to peel, slice, soak potatoes, dry them...I'm just ready to pop them in the fryer and eat! It has been nonstop air fryer cooking in this house! I hit youtube to get a few recipes and it's been on ever since. What I like best about this fryer is it has a dehydrator feature and how fast it cooks. Frozen chicken wings? No problem! Throw them in the fryer for 10 minutes and they're defrosted. I've cooked pizza, fries, wings, reheated food, fried zucchini, and tonight I baked a chocolate cake. Everything came out perfect! Next up is donuts! The only thing I don't like about this fryer is 30 seconds after it finishes cooking it shuts off. I know this is a safety feature but I always have more items to cook. In 2 weeks, I have used my microwave twice, and that was to reheat coffee. Before I forget, I did cinnamon rolls too! I used the canned Pillsbury ones and it normally takes 20 min in the oven. In the Ninja? 8 minutes and that's if you like them brown. I actually could have stopped it at 5 min and they would be perfect. My house smelled like a Cinnabon factory!😛 I have used every feature on this fryer except the dehydrator but I'll be making beef jerky soon. Overall, I am VERY pleased! The best selling feature was the price & the size. The Ninja is much slimmer than some of the bulkier fryers and fits under my cabinet nicely. I'm also happy it only used 1500W unlike some of the larger fryers that burn 1800 which could kill your light bill. The outside of the fryer doesn't get hot so you won't have to worry about getting burned but do take caution when taking your food out. Is it loud? My exhaust fan on my stove is louder than the Ninja. The extension cord on it is long so you don't have to worry about being limited on where you can place it. I think I've covered everything? This thing is THE BOMB! If you're wondering what cookware you can use, just about anything you place in a microwave you can put in the Ninja. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a few 7" foil pans I use to reheat food & bake in. Also, grab you some silicone tongs while you're there so you don't scratch the surface of your fryer. This thing has been almost as good as a kid getting a new bike for Christmas. You will NOT be disappointed w/ this purchase. Happy & healthy cooking! ... show more

  • Great Air Fryer
Style: 4 QT
This Air Fryer is the best. I have been on a quest to get an Air Fryer that covered all bases. Not to big, not to small, one that cooked fast and and did the crispy thing. I have tried three before this one and this is the keeper. Perfect size, wattage and temperature range is perfect. Super easy to clean with a nylon brush. Cooks food fast and gets it nice and crispy. I have noticed that it doesn't always shut off when you pull the basket out. Easy enough to push off though. Not sure if that is a defect but I am keeping it. ... show more

  • Super easy to cook with; simple and does what it's supposed to
Style: 4 QT
We've had this for a year plus now and it works fine. The tray and insert are easy to clean and you can buy replacements cheap if you need them (we don't yet). We use it two-to-four times a week, mostly to make fries (excellent) or other fried-type frozen foods. (I threw our deep fryer out - super unhealthy.) We've made other stuff - chicken, even steak, that are ok but better on a grill. It saves having to heat (and clean) the oven and a pan or sheet. Do pre-heat it - cooks better. And don't try to cram too much in - the air needs to blow through/around the food. The AF101 makes plenty of fries for two-three big guys. And do wipe the top out every now and then - I wish the heating element was removable so it would be easier to clean. ... show more

  • Not Bad.
Style: 4 QT
It’s nice. It’s Ninja. They make good stuff. Lots of settings and it always cooks my food well. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an auto pause feature when you pull the basket out. My air fryer before this one, which was an older, analog type with a turn dial for the temp and timer, would at least pause when I pulled the basket out to check food. Seems silly that this more expensive, fancier one doesn’t do that and I have to pause it with a button press. But other than that, it does its job. ... show more

  • Must-have!
Style: 4 QT
This Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. Its sleek design and compact size make it easy to fit into various spaces, while its powerful performance delivers exceptional results without much sound at all. I've been using it for several years now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The air-fried chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, without the greasy mess of deep frying. I've also used it to roast vegetables, bake cakes, and reheat leftovers. The results have been consistently delicious. Overall, this Air Fryer is a great investment for anyone looking to cook healthier and more convenient meals at home. Its versatility, speed, and ease of use make it a must-have appliance. ... show more

  • So far I think it's great
Style: 4 QT
I made steaks. They weren't bad. Only took 20 minutes. I was able to make 4 steaks for a family of 4. The device does not take up a lot of counter space. It was super easy to clean. You can clean the basket and insert in the dishwasher, but I only put the insert in the dishwasher. There are a variety of settings and it comes with a book full of recipes. There's even a reheat option for left overs. It automatically sets a time depending on what temp you use. Bonus, it's healthier then using the stove or frying. ... show more
