5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice I studied many, many air fryers before buying this one. This one had the best features including the thermometer. The interior capacity was almost the largest. The temperature increments is at 5 degrees to 450. 5 levels for tray placement in the oven. This oven cooks evenly so food comes out perfect. The exterior gets warm but just leave it alone lol. Very versatile appliance.Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, lots of accessories and Cooks quite fast. This won’t be anything close to the best, all encompassing review you’ll read on this product. I’ll simply give you my thoughts from the position of a husband and father who have been sold by my wife and kids to get something like this. We are fairly healthy eaters and this air fryer movement seems to be a good idea for a variety of foods. Anyway, I rarely cook anything processed and Frozen but now and again it happens. To get to the meat and potatoes of this unit, for someone like me who mainly what’s with cast iron and an oven, this ninja air fryer comes across initially as very user friendly. I’m not saying you won’t mess something up but it seems very intuitive with the layout of the buttons and the information the readouts give you. As you’ll see in the picture, I decided to really test this on my first cook by putting two different foods in the same cycle. Luckily fish sticks and Frozen Pizza are generally in the same cook time and temperature window. From Stone cold, 10 minutes at 400° was just about perfect although it probably could have used an extra minute. The oven suggested 15 minutes but I think that would have started burning. The other thing I like is that this comes with plenty of accessories and I can’t think of anything else I would need to buy for what we cook here. It also comes with a wizzy thermometer. The instructions are fairly clear for the most part but you might have to do some homework if you were going to do actual from scratch recipes. Until you learn the strength I would definitely check up on suggested time and maybe drop a bit. You can always put the food back in to cook further.Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
5.0 out of 5 stars Roast/Fry/Bake with Great Results You can’t smelt gold, but you just want to roast/fry/bake it’s outstanding.We use this oven multiple times per day and it works great. We hardly ever turn the oven on our stove, except when we need extra capacity or a larger oven size (like at Thanksgiving).My only complaint about this oven is that it’s got one fragile bundle of wires that run from the oven body to the door, which are connected to the control panel on the door handle. Over 12-18 months it will fail. We’re on our third oven of this type. The good news is, the warranty is substantial and Ninja is good about replacing the oven quickly when it fails – of course you have to cut the power cord off and prove you did so before they ship the replacement, so it would be tough to scam them and just re-splice the control cable and the power cable.Honestly, we love this oven and will always have one on our counter.Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
5.0 out of 5 stars The best version so far... This is now my fourth Ninja Smart XL oven since these first came out, and that alone should say a lot about how much I use them. With almost daily use, my previous units lasted around 3–4 years each, which I think is pretty reasonable considering how often they run in my kitchen.Honestly, I rarely use my full-size kitchen oven anymore. This has become my go-to for everything from reheating leftovers to cooking full meals, baking, roasting, air frying, and making things extra crispy much faster than a traditional oven.The updated version looks great with the stainless steel finish wrapping around the entire unit, giving it a much cleaner and more premium appearance on the countertop. One thing I really appreciated is that all of my older trays, racks, and accessories still fit perfectly, so upgrading was simple.Performance on this newer model also seems improved. It heats more evenly, cooks faster, and definitely gets food crispier compared to my older versions. The controls are easy to use, it preheats quickly, and the overall cooking results have been excellent.If you cook often and want to avoid constantly heating up a large oven, this is an excellent countertop replacement. I’ve been very happy with the updates in this newest version.Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
5.0 out of 5 stars in the market for a multifunction cook stysem? Look no further than this item. Absolutely love this thing! It bakes! It broils! It airfrys! It reheats whatever can fit inside of it & if it could somehow fold the laundry, it would be perfect!Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product Have two of them. Gave one as a give. Never use my oven any more. Only time I would need it is if I needed to cook a turkey. Oven now use to store pots and pans. Gave me more counter space as the Ninja XL takes the place of many other appliances. Cooks at even temperature and does not produce a lot of heat.Variation: Style: 10-in-1 Prestige
