Cooking made fast and easy!!!
I bought this air fryer for my Mom’s birthday. She had mentioned getting one years ago but never did. She loves cooking and cooking well. This fryer was perfect, excellent quality, delicious food turn out and the whole family loves it! It makes everything (like chicken strips and fries) so hot and crispy.You need to wash the bucket throughly at the end of each use with a soft washcloth, hot water and Dawn soap to really get it clean and not allow grease build up.It’s been used a lot already and we haven’t had an issue. Great product, just love it!

It’s very good, helpful
I have been using this Ninja air fryer regularly and it has made cooking much easier. The controls are simple to understand and the size is great for family meals. I also like that it is easy to clean after use. One downside is that it does take up some counter space, so you need room for it. Overall, this is a solid air fryer and a great addition to my kitchen.

Best appliance since the microwave!!!
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!

Solid performance at a competitive price
This air fryer does exactly what it’s supposed to do and the price is very competitive. It’s easy to use, cooks evenly, and has been reliable so far. I’ve been gradually switching my kitchen appliances to this brand because everything I’ve tried from them has worked well. Overall, a solid choice and good value for the money.

Love an air fryer, watch the nonstick coating for defects
I waited far too long to finally get an air fryer but didn’t like the difficulty in cleanup on one I borrowed from a friend to see if I liked it. A few years later I learned about silicone liners (absolute game changer for cleanup) and bought this air fryer.This fits 2.5 large chicken breasts and once I got an instant read thermometer I am now finally able to cook the most juicy, tender chicken after YEARS of dry, tough chicken. I use it almost daily and the silicone liners are well worth getting, cleanup is an absolute breeze.I will note that the picture I included shows the bubbles in the nonstick coating crumbling away on the outside of the basket that happened by the 3rd use.It’s an area 2.5 inches across x 1 1/4 inch high. It hasn’t spread so it wasn’t worth trying to exchange it and go without the air fryer for that long but definitely worth noting if you are buying one to be sure it doesn’t do it on the inside.

After Trying 5 Other Products I’ve Got a Keeper!
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.

Great appliance
If you are one or 2 people and like to cook chicken, this is an amazing tool that is so easy to clean. Of course it cooks other things well. Just think of a full-size oven that cooks twice as fast and goes in the dishwasher. Simply amazing.

Bought this product along with an electronic 2 ring convection hob, we love both products so much we are getting rid of our gas cooker, why keep it?The air fryer cooks beef, lamb, steaks, chicken in a third of the time the meat succulent and juicy, melts in your mouth.Our gas oven takes much longer, saving money on gas bills, we have got rid of our deep fat fryer as well…win/win.Highly recommend this product!!I have written a review on Amazon about the hob hope my reviews are helpful to others who may be considering to purchase either product?
