Huge upgrade over our previous unit
This replaced a five-year-old cylindrical-style unit that we thought worked really well… until we got this. We mostly use our air fryer for things that cook best in a single layer, so that added linear space is a big plus. The option to cook two foods at different types and for different times—but have them finish together—is a game changer.

Waste of time
Some items take longer to cook than they would if I put them in the oven

Teflon scratches off easily.
It works great and would have given 5 stars. The reason for only two is because the trays Teflon has already scraped and started to flake with only being used ten times. I've always used silicone tongs and hand washed. Very disappointing that it's such a thin layer and not the slightest bit durable.

Not good for light food
Product does the job well. But you can’t add any light foods because the fan will raise the food to the top and burn your food or melt away.

Perfect
I absolutely love my Ninja Air Fryer. It is an excellent appliance that cooks food quickly and perfectly, with great results every time. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and incredibly convenient. Most importantly, it saves me a lot of time in the kitchen, which makes everyday cooking much more enjoyable.

the NINJA did it for us
New to air fryers so this is a learning curve but thus far we have been impressed with the finished product but I do long for a better instruction booklet. Can I do sourdough?

Very Happy with this Air-Fryer
It works GREAT, it is getting some getting used to as my last air fryer was not a NINJA and the cooking times are much different. But for everything I have made I am enjoying, quick, easy, and SO EASY to clean

Wonderful machine
I received this about 2 weeks ago and have used it everyday! My grandson also uses it when he gets home late at night after work. I love it! So easy to use and the cleanup is a breeze!

Smoky
While it's works well and cooks great, it leaves my kitchen SMOKEY!! As a result, I don't use it as much. My older Ninja fryer did not smoke at all!

The best air fryer for us!
We absolutely love this air fryer. It's huge for large food items or 2 different ones with the divider. We've used it a couple of weeks but there are so many more recipes and food combinations to try. It reheats extra well too. Looking forward to lots of cooking in this air fryer.

Great features & money worth it to spend on it
I bought it last year - it was the best air fryer I ever had and it is still in my kitchen so it doesn’t have any issues with it being cooked and I just want it done right now 😀

Good flexibility, lacks height
Love the ninja brand, this is my second of theirs after the last one stopped working. The idea is really good, having the flexibility to use two drawers, one drawer, or one mega drawer. However their advertising of it could be better. There is no way a roast is fitting inside this, as the drawers are only about 2 inches deep once you have the crisper plate in. I'll be l...

Good but not great for me.
As an airfryer plus it does the job well. It cooks faster than my previous air fryer so it took some getting used to. I love how easy the material cleans up. I enjoy the two separate cooking area option. My issue is mostly with the size of the drawer. It doesn't fit in the sink so there is no avoiding getting water everywhere. Also, I have to remove the drawer to get th...
