This air fryer was much better than my previous fryer. That fryer was recalled so when they refunded my money, I purchased this Ninja Air Fryer.My family uses it alot more than I do but I like it better than microwaves. I do caution you have to be careful using the directions for say something like frozen French fries because if you follow those directions, it may over cook the food.Ninja provides a book and some recipes as well (that I have yet to make) so I really appreciate that.If you like to heat up/cook greasy things frequently, I recommend one of those parchment paper or silicon covers. My family is lazy when it comes to cleaning the baskets so by the time I notice, the grease is caked on there and not easy to get off (it’s non-stick but for some foods you may need to rub or spray some oil. I rarely do.)Oh also if you sensitive smoke detectors, just know there maybe a chance opening the fryer after cooking may set it off (never did it in the kitchen but when we moved it to the dining room, it did it every time). My husband would turn the a/c to help prevent that.

I use my air fryer multiple times a week, some weeks daily, and it has completely transformed how I cook. It’s fast, cooks incredibly well (especially using one basket at a time), and delivers consistently crispy, delicious results. Even when I use both baskets, the performance is still great. It's super quiet, doesn’t leave lingering smells, and is easy to clean by hand. I dont even need oil and only use a bit when I do use it.The controls are simple and clear, though I do have to be a bit careful with bumping the temp knob by accident. That’s a tiny issue compared to all the wins.It’s absolutely perfect for 1 to 2 people, and I often don’t even need both baskets. I especially love making fish in it, and it has been a game changer for my diet. Meat turns out so juicy and easy, and even veggies and leftovers reheat like a dream.It’s one of my favorite appliances and my second most-used piece of cookware. So fun and simple to use that I actually feel like a real chef. Worth every penny. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.

Esta freidora es todo lo que está bien en la vida. Me quedo totalmente fiel a esta marca, use otra freidora por 8 años y el lavado era muy difícil, en cambio esta está Ninja es súper fácil, la temperatura es súper ajustada a la realidad, lo más parecido a un horno convencional, es súper versátil porque tiene diferentes funciones. Yo horneo prácticamente que todos los días y el resultado de los alimentos en la función Bake es perfecta. Definitivamente estoy satisfecha ♥️

Edit: I have had this model for one and a half years. The coating on the interior grills--the removeable pieces--are showing very slight wear and tear. It is still truly no-stick, so it's a non-issue. I heard they are replaceable too. This is still an outstanding purchase and I am happy I have it. I use this between 3-7 days a week too, so lots of time using this.Original Review:I was disappointed with Cosori brand, having the coating coming off and the basket not staying in the air fryer etc. And I wanted a larger Air Fryer and this seemed like the only option. I heard Ninja was/is reliable and I wanted to try it. I am very glad I did, even though at first I wasn't an immediate fan.First, this device is far more accurate than the other air fryers I have owned. Temperature actually is regulated and controlled. The modes for cooking are meaningful choices (there is a difference between Air Fryer, Bake, Roast and other modes). I feel like I have actual options for cooking. I can use broil mode for carrots on one side and the bake option for Pilsbury Dough Crescent Rolls in the other.Second, the no-stick coating is legit. Cleanup is a breeze. It is leaps and bounds easier than any other air fryer I've used (I've owned two, but used many more). There is currently no wearing off of this coating in any way whatsoever. Other areas of the basket that don't have this coating have a slight wearing of the exterior coat, but it's nowhere near the food and to be expected.Third, baskets fit nicely into the receptacle and stay in place. This is something I had issues with in other brands and am pleasantly surprised here.Fourth, you can actually turn the basket upside down to dump the contents without losing the inner cooking "grate" or "grill" thanks to the silicone feet they have. You do have to ensure the feet are properly in place before cooking as over time they move out of position. However, they have stayed in place while dumping almost every time.There are some slight caveats with this device, but I don't see them as anything warranting a problem or really even a negative. They are mostly considerations.- You need to have some knowledge of air fryers before using this to the best of its capabilities. It doesn't hold your hand. It won't remind you to shake up a side, or have some presets for cooking that could help someone new to air fryers. Also, because of the way it is designed, it will need you to shake up a side more often than other airfryers that have a basket within a basket design (that makes the airflow guaranteed).- Cook time is slower when using both sides and needs to be adjusted as such. In my opinion it is better to cook less rather than more if in doubt. Especially with meat that needs to be thoroughly cooked (like chicken thighs as an example).- The 10 quart size is mostly depth rather than width. This means if you are cooking something like a whole bag of tatertots, you WILL have to supervise it by shaking them often during the cook time.- The way the airflow is designed means you have to keep the sides of the basket somewhat clear in order to get the true air fryer crispness you are looking for.- Since air temperature in the baskets are more accurate, this device puts out more heat into the room (it will expel excess hot air to keep the temperature inside accurate)- Unlike other air fryers, it doesn't stop cooking when you remove a basket to shake. Hot aire blows into the room and you have to manually press stop. This could be a plus for some people, but it's worth noting here.- Using the option to conclude cooking at the same time could be problematic since you often have to adjust cook times while using an air fryer. I wouldn't consider this a huge feature for buying this device.Some real bonuses- In my experience so far, since the baskets are deep rather than wide, the coil at the top of each side is nowhere near as dirty as other airfryers since the oil/juice popping up during cooking doesn't always reach the coils.- The temperature is fairly accurate inside- The cleanup is just beyond easy, especially having owned other air fryers that supposedly had non-stick.- Being able to cook two whole chickens--as an example-- or two of anything as large as whole chickens makes this unit shine over pretty much all current air fryers.- The outside and inside cleans really easily- All the buttons are tactile and I haven't had a single issue with the device having issues of any sort or button presses that weren't registering.

I waited for this to go on sale. The baskets are smaller than I hoped but there are two of them. This is the easiest air fryer to clean. The match cook feature is great when cooking for a bigger family. The trays in the baskets have a sort of nonstick feature which is so nice.
