I got my new ninja air fryer today and boooy was I excited. It's totally decked out with features from baking to dehydration and all in between. Was packaged very nice and tight. And I've already used it and made myself done crispy tots... And they wher done in 5 min. I'll have to get used to the temps and times, but it automatically went to 20min, and after 5 I started...

Extremely Disappointed
I like another persons review on here used our air fryer one day and then a few days later went to use it and it won’t turn on at all. We tried different outlets as well thinking that was the problem but noted, it still wouldn’t turn on..I am EXTREMELY disappointed!! We own many Ninja appliances but after only having my air fryer for 5 months and only getting to

Awesome
This unit is pretty much an all kitchen appliances in one unit. It is killer to be able to air fry, roast reheat and dehydrate all in one device. This thing is so simple to use, and cleanup can be done in a flash. The recipes, dishes, and variety of things that can be cooked with this are amazing. From apples to ribs! I really like that I can use the reheat option and t...

Great features
This Ninja Air Fryer is great. It has 7 functions which includes air frying of course, baking, reheating and air broiling just to name a few. I've already fixed turkey bacon, chicken, salmon and sausage. The chicken and salmon was tender and moist. I also put in a whole beans- but they didn't come out too well on either roasting or air frying. Other than that, I like it...

Awesome product
I tried the Ninja Air Fryer Max XL and I absolutely love it! I like trying different things in it and experimenting. I tried a couple of the recipes that were included and they were great! I love how easy it is to clean too!

Larger than I thought, performs well!
I really like the performance it gets things really crispy and even has a dehydrate setting! It does take up a lot of space in my kitchen though which is the biggest drawback. Works well for reheating leftovers and frozen foods. Look forward to trying out more of the settings. I would recommend this item if you have the space.

Absolutely great product!!!
Please let me start off by saying that I am going to let my wife review this since she’s been the one using this.

Air fryer was shipped pretty quick. Which is always a plus. Got it and read the instructions (ALWAYS READ THE MANUFACTURES INSTRUCTIONS) because I had never used an air fryer before. Watched a few videos online where people tried different recipes and de...

Love it!!!
Got this on a whim cause I'd heard and read people talking about the air fryer and how easy they were to use. Has multiple settings for super frying to broiling or even dehydrating. Cooks up amazing full chicken and large batches of chicken wings or drummies super easy. Cook up some awesome homemade fries, some chopped up and seasoned potatoes and veggies come out gr...

Awesome air fryer!
You can cook almost anything in this! This thing is awesome so far I've cooked corn dogs and wings in it and they've turned out great! I'm still learning how to use all the different settings glad it came with a guide. I would recommend this to anyone it cooks things pretty fast too! My husband even uses it!

So much fun to use
I was so excited to use an air fryer for the first time. I trust the Ninja brand so I had high hopes and I wasn't disappointed. I'll start with some of my initial impressions. When I got the package, I was surprised by how heavy it was, but once I had it up on my counter, it was easy to move. On first inspection, the tray was very hard to pull in and out. It seemed to ...

Superb!
I’m actually pleasantly pleased with the features of this one! I tried it for the last two days and it is awesome! I have tried several others but this one is the best one by far that I have tried and it done the food pleasingly well and it holds larger portions! A++++++

Awesome fryer
This thing is awesome! I was always skeptical about the whole air frying craze, but I'm a believer now. It crisps food nicely and does frozen food great. The key is to shake frequently. I've used this 4 times already in less than a week

Amazing
This air fryer is the best! It costs everything do perfectly and crisp. It is such a blessing to have this because my husband recently tried his mom's fryer and he wanted one, now we have our own! The only downside is that it is a little hard to clean but that is expected because of the crumbs some food leave behind. It's so beautiful too and very easy to assemble.

love this product
The size of this product was large enough to cook for the whole family without doing multiple batches. It was quicker then trying to do the same process in the oven and heating up the kitchen in the middle of the summer. It has a nice appearance to the it and would easily fit into any kitchen allowing it to be left on the counter top for easy access.

In love!
First I want to say I have never used an Air Frier before. It was definitely a learning experience, but once you get the hang of it there is no going back. It is huge! It can fit a whole bag of frys inside easily. It crisps up the frys perfectly! It is very easy to use. It comes with a cute little booklet of recipes which is convenient and teaches you what to set each i...

Favorite Kitchen Applliance
Holy cow is this thing great! I love that I can make fried food, but with 99% less oil. This air fryer is a must have for any person that loves to cook. I have tried several recipes, each as easy as the last. Clean up is simple too, which I love...unlike traditional friers which leave grease everywhere!

Crispy food without the guilt
I have been shopping for an air fryer for months. I finally found the Ninja AF161 Max XL air fryer which was the right one for my family. I like the 5.5-quart size nonstick basket it holds up to 3 lbs. of fries meaning I do not have to cook in batches. The larger basket allows the heated air to circulate around the food making it crispy and hot in the center. The larger...

The "cadillac" of air fryers has arrived!
I would like to let everyone know about an amazing air fryer that I have tried. The Ninja Air Fryer Max XL AF 160 Series Air Fryer is one of those rare products that I can't stop raving about. I am so impressed that you only preheat this air fryer for 3 minutes and if you want crispy frozen french fries there is absolutely no guesswork involved. You put a special ...

Absolutely wonderful
This is a wonderful product. Cooks evenly and makes your meal absolutely fabulous. Now that I have used this product I will never go back to putting my food in all that grease. It is easy to use and easy to clean up afterwards. If you have little time to prepare a meal this is definitely the way to go just put your meat in set it, check it half way through and turn it ...

Should Have Bought One Sooner!
I had always had my eye on an air fryer and finally decided to take the jump into getting one. Very easy to set up and came with an instruction Manuel with recipes! Already have made french fries and mozzarella sticks, both of which turned out amazing. Highly recommend this product!
