I'm a HUGE ninja fan. I have multiple products for myself and have bought others for my daughter's. We all love every single one but the 8 5 quart ninja foodi is by far our favorite and go to for cooking all of our meals
I started a ninja Wednesday with my girls - they drop off their pot and it fits in mine so I can make them dinner to go and their busy days.

Very disappointed
I really liked the idea of having all these various functions. Wanting to replace my Crock Pot with something more versatile, I opted for the Ninja Possible Cooker. I am very disappointed. The Slow Cook function is horrible. Set on Low, and it’s way too low. Set on high, it’s way too high, boiling the ingredients in 15-20 min.

Great product and great features
I purchased this item last month. I have used it multiple times and love it. The features on this multi cooker makes my life so much easier. I threw away 5 appliance that I don't need any more due to the multi cooker.

Coating comes off in food.
I bought this a a week ago to replace my old crock pot that lasted 15 years. I opened it and hand washed it with a sponge and dried it. I spent a lot of money on making a huge batch of chicken vegetable soup for a family gathering. I had to throw the whole batch out because as it cooked the inner coating came off around the bolts and mixed all in the soup. Very disappo...

Excellent
I absolutely LOVE this crockpot. I cook everything in it including Gumbo and vegetable soup. Clean up is SO EASY! I can brown my roast or whatever meat I am cooking in this pot before setting it to cook.

Hit by a truck ?
Multicooker arrived in poor condition. Appliance badly damaged on the right hand side. The Ninja box was in equally poor condition but and had been stuffed with packing paper . Strangely the outer Amazon box was in perfect condition. I guess someone assumed it was okay to ship it like that. Unfortunately the review app won’t let me upload photos - guess I didn’t give it...

It's okay just a normal slow cooker
I miss the old multi cooker, this one just doesn't seem to cook as well. Before I could have tender shredded meat in as little as 4 hrs, now I can cook a 6lb shoulder on low for 10 hrs and it still comes out tough.

Moldy chips
I bought this and cooked in it once. The Teflon is chipping around the top already and the lid has water trapped under it. I tried getting it out and cannot. Eventually that will mold and smell bad and I will not want to use it at all. Buyer beware!

No spare parts?
The cooker Worked great, used once…. Daughter broke my lid and I can’t even order a replacement so one star for the in advance for my email about to get spammed with everything but a simple notification saying that they’re actually making the parts for the product they should be “selling”

Re: exactly what we needed
It heats up quickly and does a great job keeping things hot, and warm.
Warm is exactly that. It's not boiling hot like my last cooker.

The Ninja Foodi has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools! It’s incredibly versatile — perfect for slow cooking hearty stews, searing meats to perfection, and steaming vegetables while keeping all the flavor locked in.
