Cord too short
I own multiple ninja products including knifes & slushi machine. I wanted to replaced an old air fryer so tried ninja brand.
The cord is very short. Usually Ninja products seem to have thought put into them. Not the air fryer.. . .

Perfect!
I love this air fryer and it’s so easy to operate. I got rid of 2 other air fryer’s because I wasn’t happy with them but this one is perfect! Thank you for the fast shipment.

Can’t live without a Ninja in my life.
I bought one for my grandson and he and his buddies absolutely love it. So I am buying a second one for his Dad. I already have the air fryer function in my Ninja Foodi and I love it. In fact I have many of your Ninja kitchen appliances and I love and use at least one of them several times a day. And that’s my coffeemaker. Plus the blender is used daily for smoothies. ...

I almost bought the wrong one!
I just bough this Ninja Pro XL 6-in-1 and boy am I glad I did. I was looking for an air fryer that could reach 450 degrees Fahrenheit and have a dehydrate function as well. (I almost bought the wrong one!) I love the upgrades to the design and the square basket. This makes for more useful room. I cooked a rib eye steak and a big fat bone in pork chop and I'm so happy....

So far, so very good
So far, so very good. Just bought my air fryer and enjoying it very much. Still getting used to it, it is much more powerful than my old one. A better review later after I get used to it.

Very happy
I’m new at air fryers. Still adjusting to temp control and time. But so far it’s a great appliance. Glad I got it. Salmon is perfect, same with roasted veggies.

Not recommended
Not recommended- this was my second one to try and it still have a very plastic smell and makes the food taste like the smell. We’ve tried everything, liking warming it up numerous times to self clean but still does not work. Also called and received a replacement and it still did not help with the smell.

Internal parts made with low-quality material.
After just 4 months of use, the product is already completely rusted.

Handle broke and screws fell off into food!
I have ti mix the food in the air fryer,
So I shake it. It seems over time the screws that keep the handle in tact loosen up and no longer can keep it intact. The whole handle went off. The screws fell in the food and we could have taken one in by mistake! I only had it for about a year! Other than that it was a good air fryer and I’m so disappointed!!

If you want to cook healthy this is it.
Great- A nice upgrade from the older Model.We use this air fryer 90% for our cooking. My wife loves this air fryer. We only buy Ninja- best made air fryer. We never had a problem with Ninja products. The new model with new coating is great.

Best Purchase Ever
I bought this a few weeks ago and can't believe I waited so long to own one. I spent a lot of time pouring over specs and reviews and I am glad I settled on this Ninja Pro XL. The large basket and non stick surface is a time saver. Our favorite so far was the Ranch Chicken but we used pork chops and instead of corn flakes we used Fritos! It was amazing, so quick, so eas...
