Ninja - OL500

I have the Ninja Foodie. It can grill, bake, dehydrate, roast, and air fry. Nine times out of ten, I will be using it especially in the summer when I don't want to turn the oven on.

I've had mine for years can't beat them

I have a Ninja foodi and a Ninja toaster style air fryer. I love the Foodi for home fries and baking small cakes and as a rice cooker. I use it nearly daily. We got the toaster style one for toasting bread, for roasting vegetables, and baking small pizzas. Like every appliance, you have to consider your space and what you cook. For us, it's been great.

I have two Ninja air fryers that don't have teflon. A Foodi and Foodi 6 in 1 (it toasts, air fries, etc).

the ninja foodi is awesome!

I got a Ninja Foodie - it's a toaster oven, air fryer, and dehydrator. Best thing is that it folds up when you're not using it. I have a tiny kitchen and this one works best for me.

I had a Foodie for a few years until it stopped working. It was a great pressure cooker and a decent air fryer but I am much more satisfied with separate devices now.

Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I've had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn't recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It's not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.

Ninja Foodie. It's an Air fryer, crock pot, sous vide, toaster, oven, broiler.... all sorts of shit

We like our Ninja Foodie. It has a large counter footprint when in use, but folds up against the wall.

That's what I'm looking at, same model but bigger. How long have you had it? Do you like it? I also have ninja foodie with air fryer function and I am assuming the basket for air fryer is also non stick and we have used it forever with birds around and it was fine... but that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter....I'm still nervous!

Get a Ninja Foodie ,its an air fryer but all has a lot more functions. Slow cooker,pressure cooker ,grill.

You're relative sounds like a tool. It's a nice product, but it's very weird and rude to me, for someone to just buy an appliance for your home. It's expensive enough that you feel obligated to keep it, but many people don't have room for that type of thing. It's just weird, like someone coming into your house and just hanging a large picture on your wall. As for the appliance itself, it can be useful. It's not a fryer. It's a high powered convection oven. It does a very good job of oven things, but faster. It's a decent replacement for a toaster oven, if it's shaped that way. We have a ninja foodi with a pressure cooker attachment. It's good, but we probably under utilize it. It's also a little small. So it's sometimes awkward to get everything in. You aren't cooking for a crowd with then either. It's good for a couple of people, though. It does a great job in reheating things that don't typically reheat well. Pizza, fried foods, etc.

Yeah they are brilliant and a much better option than an air fryer imo

If you're in North America, there are air fryers that purport to run multiple baskets at the same time (ie: Ninja Dual). Our home power supply will not run both baskets at the same time at full heat; the user's guide says you have to allow almost double the time if you want to use both baskets at once as the temperature won't reach full heat. Evidently they do work at full speed in the UK. That being said... I also have a Ninja Foodi multicooker that does the whole slow cooker/pressure cooker/ air fryer thing in one unit. I've had four or five air fryers and that's the one I've used the most because the multiple functions are useful for me. For just a dedicated air fryer, make sure it has enough physical space to cook the amount and kind of food you want. For example, french fries are best cooked in one layer. Many air fryers are not sized to cook enough fries to feed four people. Whichever air fryer you choose, you'll need to peek in and toss/shake/shift your food two or three times during the cooking to get everything to cook evenly, so ensure it's a convenient size, weight etc.

I have a ninja foodie so it's an air fryer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, and a few other things in one. Or at least it was till I set one of the lids on fire but that's another story. I say go for it. Bonus- I can put it all in the dishwasher.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer that is still going strong after 5 yrs of usage and it is still geting use multiple times a week.

Ninja foodie. It is an air fryer, pressure cooker, it can bake and work like a stove top. With it you don't need another appliance

I have this one too! Even without dishwasher its so easy to clean since its a non-stick bowl so a few gentle swipes makes it clean in like 3 seconds! I just cook, take out food, quick rinse and done! Easy-peasy! So convenient because you can cook other stuff in it like soups, roast, rice, even yogurt (i didnt get to yogurt part, too complicated😂)! Same gadget, less cointer space! I love my foodie!

I would recommend getting an air fryer - you can bake and reheat food in it. Our Ninja Foodie has been a lifesaver for the last couple years in our condo, would 10/10 recommend if I could only pick one appliance.

I bought a used Ninja Foodie off of Offer Up and was surprised that I find myself using all of the functions, especially the air fryer and pressure cooker. What great about he slow cooker is you can first saute stuff in the same pan/bowl that you will slow cook in. If you are in a rush you can pressure cook instead and everything comes out great.

Ninja foodi, you get an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, we use ours a lot. You can make soups, hot dishes, bake, broil, pressure cook. Can cook almost anything in it.

Sadly I can't say I had the same experience with the Ninja Foodi (first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year). I really liked the air fryer pressure cooker combo but yeah, can\`t say I\`m too happy with the quality build (the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now).

Get the ninja foodie. I live alone and it's hands down the best thing in my kitchen. Cooks two different foods at different times and temperatures and finishes cooking at the same time. Would never go back to single cooking zone air fryer

Yeah I got a ninja that's the pressure cooker/air fryer 2 in 1 machine and I love it. It air frys really well and the pressure cooker is better than I thought it would be. I use it quite a bit. You just have to preheat it for the air fryer but it only takes a few minutes. It's very consistent so you get a good feel for how long you need to heat stuff

It's amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn't have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It's a bit of a pain to clean but that's the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It's a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it's definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you're looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

Ninja foodie has all these options plus air fryer in case someone wants all in one to save counter space🙂. I do prefer air fryer to oven though, food just tastes better from air fryer😋

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

Ninja with a pressure cooker, so does all round

We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.

I've had my Ninja Foodi for 4 years. Use it daily and it's still fine.

I've use a Insta Pot 2 quart air fryer. It worked great for me for 5 years. I just replaced with a 5 quart Ninja. Besides being larger which is no biggie cause it's just me, I have problems with stuff blowing around in the Ninja which wasn't an issue with my Instant Pot AF. Also, the old Insta Pot AF had a roast option. I noticed most but not all portable models, no matter the brand, replaced the bake option with dehydrator. Perhaps there are folks who do dehydrate, but I personally don't know anyone interested in such a feature. I'm thought about gifting the Ninja and going back to a Insta Pot AF EXCEPT the model Ninja I have has a ceramic coating which I love and is supposedly healthier than Teflon.

I haven't had much success in baking, my usual cookies were nice but a little greasy. We have a small tabletop oven / air fryer combo we use for baking and pizza, but the Ninja foodi is used every day.

We have a Ninja pressure cooker/air fryer combo. It works great.

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

We have a ninja foodie, that I can't use anymore. It's mostly used for fries and chicken nuggets. We used to cook bacon in it and it was delicious. I am going to buy myself a small air fryer for fries and chicken nuggets. I like crispy nuggets and they do not get crispy in the oven. I really wanted a small ninja foodie but they don't make them anymore.

I like the Instant Pot much better. I got a Foodi as well, but am trying to resell it as I don't think it's as nice or useful. Plus the materials aren't as quality. The pressure cook option in my Foodi sometimes doesn't work whereas my 3 IPs always do and are really easy to clean. The Foodi has the Air Crisp option which is pretty nice, but not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy.

The air fryer is not replacing my microwave, but it makes cooking so much easier. And cleaning it is no biggie since i have a dishwasher. The one i have is the Ninja foodie which has a removable bowl. Lately i microwave my frozen rice and air fry my frozen and already cooked chicken that I previously made. It's so darn good.

Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi. It's also very loud whereas my Instant Pot (I happen to have 3) are quiet as a mouse. For pressure cooking alone the Instant Pot brand beats Ninja out imo. I prefer the basic IP models, as they are really good at what they do, alas the Ninja does more. I like the air crisp option on my Foodi but I'm not sure that alone is worth it. Bacon and burgers are really good in it after pressure cooking but chicken is gross on that one I learned. Ninja just doesn't excel to me in pressure cooking as it sometimes doesn't come to pressure at all. I'm actually trying to sell mine after only using it a few times.

I don't have this one but I have a Ninja foodie that does air frying, and the fan is pretty loud. P.s. how was the pool party 🤣

I have a ninja 5qt. I love ig
