AMAZING!!!
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

Best air fryer ever
I have had three air fryers , use it everyday. This is beyond the best in market and user friendly. From temperature control to oven settings it is wonderful and produces great tasty foods.

We now use it for everything
Ever since we bought it, we have not used our oven once. We have been using little to no oil. The book has been helpful but for the most part we have been just trial and error. See how great it is for yourself! So far we have made wings (they were better than at a restaurant), egg rolls, roasted veggies, and more!

Very impressed
We bought the Ninja XL air fryer to replace the Big Boss fryer. What a difference it makes. So easy to clean and does all that we need perfectly. It’s counter footprint is much smaller also. Did I mention clean up, so easy. We would recommend this fryer for anyone looking to get their first or replacement fryer.

Awesome must have
I tried sweet potato fries and breaded butterfly shrimp, they turned out good. Ninja advises to shake the basket and they're right. Last weekend I tried the air broil feature on 4 bacon wrapped fillets, well see for yourself after 4-5 minutes per side.

LEARNING CURVE
First meal was fish and chips, both were from frozen state. Had to drop temp on fish, crust was burning and fish wasn't done, but edible after lowering temp. Fries can out just fine, super crunchy on the outside, mellow on the inside.
Second dish I tried was 'air-frying' fresh chicken thighs. Again, crust was done before chicken cooked to safe temp. Of course ...

Issues from the beginning.....
Tried using this several times now. Never completely cooks and websites for problem solving have been useless. Keep getting code CLS but can’t find explanation anywhere.

So far- Great results.
Ok, so this is day three cooking with the Max XL. My first attempt was frozen fish filets.
The fish came out perfectly cooked and crispy. Second attempt was frozen "Checker's" french fries. Used the Max Crisp setting. A little too crispy for my liking. Next time I'll use the 390 setting. Last night was fresh, naked chicken wings. Simply tossed with a little pile oil, ...

Great Features/Great Product
I bought this product a month or so ago and have been very pleased. The size is the basket is great. It holds a lot of food. I've cooked wingettes, fish, shrimp and fries. The recommended cooks times on the Fryer is amazing. The digital temprature guage and timer is a very nice feature. I definitely recommend this product if you're looking to cook a large or small...

Nice Kitchen Gadget
I got this product because of all the hype I've heard about air fryers from friends. I must say, this is a pretty neat gadget. It does a great job with chicken wings and french fries. They come out crispy and well cooked, and not soggy from grease. It also does a great job reheating pizza to a perfect temperature, making the crust taste and feel like it came fresh from ...

Great product for someone watching their weight!
Does exactly what it’s meant to do! If you want to fry something without all that oil, this works well! It’s nice it’s has a tray so that it’s not sitting on the floor and allows the air to get around the food for proper cooking all around. a little large and bulky but it makes sense for the extra food you can fry

Easy to use, fast cooking and cleans up well
I had my concerns about this little air flyer's capability, but it's been a great addition to our home. Easy to make meals quickly, cleans up nicely, and stores with ease. No complaints other than I with it were larger enough to do my entire turkey for Thanksgiving. Then I guess it would be too big to store, but in any case it's awesome.

Perfect air fyer
We had two other air fryers when we got this Ninja Air Fryer Max XL; but after using it for some weeks it is the only one. Its capacity (5.5 quart) is perfect for our family, no need to run two fryers for the same meal. The Ninja air fryer is super user friendly, all the options are displayed clearly and the buttons are easy to press. We love its roasting option as well...

POWERFUL
Having an air fryer that does much more than fry is pretty legit in my eye. The manual that comes with the fryer is super helpful but I did find that after pre-heating and following the directions to cook things (different times and temperature for veggies, meat, etc.) was not accurately. After burning one thing, I decided to cook things half the time mentioned in the m...

Awesome Air Fryer!
I am a single woman and need appliances that are convenient, quick, and easy to use. This Ninja Air Fryer Max XL is just the appliance I've been looking for! It is actually a few appliances in one so you save on counter space. It "fries" well, everything comes out crispy, not soggy like fish sticks and pizza can be coming out of an oven. I love that it is healthier as I...

Awesome product
I loved this product!! I definitely recommend. I loved all the features. The different temperatures and adjustments you are able to make. I also love how I don’t have to deep fry my food. The texture of the food is perfect and it’s crispy without all the oil. Very recommended.

I was beyond thrilled to receive the Ninja Air Fryer Max XL by Ninja. I had been researching air fryers for awhile, and everything I was reading had my coming back to the Ninja brand air fryers. There was a different model Ninja Air Fryer that was sitting on my wish list waiting for me to finally purchase, but then I learned about this model and I couldn't be happier wi...

Wow! Love Ninja products!
First of all, I love Ninja brand products, have been trading up to Ninja as my older countertop appliances need to be replaced.
I lucked into the air fryer and am so happy to have it. This is an all around great appliance, quick cooking and does not smell up your house! It heats fast and the cook times are minimal. You should use silicone or non scratch type utens...
