I love this Ninja Foodi ! Since I got it I have hardly used any of my other cooking equipment. I use it everyday. Made sure, meat loaf, sausages, meat balls and spegetti , crispy chicken wings, curry chicken,slow cook tender beef steak, rice, pasta… I haven’t made a cake as yet, but only because I don’t have the right size baking tin. This is very easy to use and I even my 10yr son uses it to make chops and wings/ribs. One of my best investment in kitchen gadgets. I have been encouraging all my friends to buy. We are a family of four and this is more than big enough for us. Love it !!

So glad I bought this. In my seventies now and wife having medical problems so have taken over a lot of the cooking and this is the machine I reach for first.
So versatile, easy to clean, love it. Would recommend to anyone.

The multicooker has solved the problem I’ve always had with cooking – too bored to engage to it. Definitely a must have if you want proper cooked food but cant be bothered to cook. As others have said it is bulky indeed so if you have limited kitchen top space perhaps you’d need to reconsider. It does seems very sturdy and worth the price in my opinion as you get so many different cooking functions. Do explore the recipe booklet and cheat sheet that is provided alongside the device, as it offers lots of ideas with how to cook various foods – there is practically nothing you can’t cook with this. The only somewhat negative that I found is that it doesn’t have a ‘delayed’ function – it would have been very useful. That being said, not only I do not regret the purchase, I am now a fan and only cook with this!

I love my Ninja Foodi! I can make complex meals quickly in one pot with minimal washing up afterwards. It’s so versatile I rarely use my oven, hob or microwave anymore as I prefer reheating good in this as it maintains the crunch rather than getting all floppy. I would definitely recommend this item.

Recently became a one person household and it seemed a waste putting oven on – this is just perfect and I would highly recommend it. Air Crisp is brilliant and no oil required so healthy but still tasty. Pressure Cooker & Slow cooker mode both had great results and have cooked a whole small chicken just to try it out – combo of pressure cooker then aircrisp. Also good results on various frozen things, fishfingers & fishcakes especially – crisp on outside and soft inside, I could go on forever. In fact, I wish I’d bought the bigger version before hubby passed away as it would have been just brilliant for the two of us. Only suggestion is that I cook at a lower heat setting than instructions for fan oven.

REALLY ENJOYED USING THIS NEW DEVICE – AND IT CAPTURES FLAVOURS AND SAVES ON TIMED.
LOADS MORE RECIPIES TO TRY : )

Love the air fryer, yoghurt maker and the hundreds of recipes readily available to make great food

This was a gift to my daughter , she is delighted with the versatility of the Ninja , the flavour of the food is really good . Is great for creating good nutritious and balanced meals in one pot .

Does almost everything except pizza and pies and does it well, I thought it might have been a lot of advertising blurb but no it actually does the job very well best bit of kitchen kit I bought in ages

Bought as a a Christmas present to ourselves but could not wait. used all functions except slow cook so far. Turned out some great dishes.

We were looking to replace an old 3 litre slow cooker and thought we would buy the Ninja Mini at 4.7 litres as this should be big enough for just the two of us. Wrong! The Ninja idea is a good one and it can produce good cooked food, however, for the Mini that should read snacks, not food. We tried a 1.6 kg chicken and it doesn’t fit when air crisping. Admittedly, Ninja says a max 1.5 kg but that would be a push too.

We have now sold this one after three weeks and bought the biggest one. The cooking pot is the same diameter but taller. It takes up marginally more space on the worktop but well worth it and only 30 more expensive. I think the Mini would be a good idea for a lone student or someone who doesn’t plan to be ambitious with their culinary skills but not for anyone who wants to try to cook a whole meal.

So, buy a Ninja, but buy a big one!

I have been using this nonstop since I received it a month ago.

Pros: fries/ chips, rice, ribs, sauces, soups, sundried tomato, grilled vegetables. easy to clean. Easy to use. Heats fast. Pots dishwasher safe and easily replaced. Lots of add ons if you’re so inclined

Cons: very large. You need to put it where it can steam and heat up. If you’re making multiple dishes or a lot of food you will have to work out things like keeping dishes warm, what needs to be prevented from drying out, and working in batches.

One of the 3 possible things to rate the cooker on is flavour. I can’t see how you can blame a cooker for the flavour or texture of your dish. That seems like something you should control. You will have to consider things like water loss or adding extra water for pressure. I have found the browning to be even and the frying is lovely. I made a tomato soup and the flavour tasted like it cooked for hours after only 20 minutes in the pressure cooker.

I am still getting used to the whole thing, I used a pressure cooker years ago and had forgotten how good they are.
Meats cook to perfection, slimming world style chips are lovely. I haven’t baked yet or tried fish. I am not a keen cook and only cook because I have to eat but this contraption is excellent for this uninterested cook.

Only kidding, well not really. My daughter cooked up the potato peelings in the air fryer. 18 mins I think it took. They were delicious, it was just a practice one Saturday morning with the peelings that were left over. It really is a good piece of kit. The whole family can get involved with the cooking. My grandaughter now has a signature dish of roast chicken that she just pops in the Ninja, really tasty
We have cooked lots of things, takes hardly any time at all with the pressure cooker. We are yet to try making yoghurt, but will do that this week
I;m so impressed with it, I am going to buy my son one for Christmas. I do think they are a bit expensive but in the long run they must save a lot of fuel, wo worth the expense. We tried making chips, again really good, so there you go, saves money again
Its a pity though, the families that really could benefit from one of these, are the families that are least able to afford one

Haven’t had to use my hob nor oven since I bought my ninja foodi last month. Everything you can cook on your cooker can be done in the ninja in a fraction of the time. I’ve even dehydrated fruits to make a Christmas display. The only downside is that some of the coating is coming off the crisper basket but I contacted Ninja customer service and they’re sending me out a new basket.
All in all, a brilliant product and I shall definitely be adding to my ninja appliance family soon.

I had an air frier before this and wore it out. This thing takes my cooking to whole new level. I’ve not found anything that it can’t cook better than a normal oven.

Love this item, does a great job, the only downside is having to airfry in batches if you have a big family. Great chicken, fries, ribs, casseroles and hoping to try bread this week. Highly recommend.

I ordered this to replace my Instant Pot and Tefal Actifry that I’ve had for 3 years. It arrived a day earlier than expected. It is quite large but a nice looking item. It cooks very quickly in comparison to my Instant pot, it is a little confusing but I am getting used to it. It isn’t a cheap price but the quality and look there is no comparison. The instructions are OK, but take some getting used to, but still learning what you can do with it. It is easy to clean too which is another plus. I would recommend this Ninja Max Multi Foodie, you can do morethan you could think of. Even dehydrate, fruits, make yoghurt, it cooks very quickly saving on time, it has 9 different cooking modes and various levels of setting for each one. I have fallen in love with this, you could taste the difference compared to the Instant pot and Actifry. So it’s a win win situation in every way!!! update, I have received a replacement now. After very long messages, I received a new one. I still absolutely love it. Neesey Ninja has been installed in pride of place,its only thing I cook with now. Best ever appliance I’ve bought!!!

Amazing product should have got one years ago cos everything mush faster and the meat comes off juicy which suprised me I was sceptical have now purchased more Ninja products and more purchases planned

does everything! great for meals from scratch through to frozen things – cant fault i

Delivered in time promised, well packed easy to use. A full cooked roast meal is ready in an hour from beginning.

I already had the Ninja Foodi Grill and have been very pleased with it using it nearly every day over a year. I wanted a replacement for my current electric pressure cooker and air fryer, both getting quite old.

I had read that the max size was very large but as one of my photos show it isn’t much bigger than the one it is replacing. It actually fits in the same space for storage except for the extra lid for pressure cooking. It should also be noted that you cannot fit the wire rack and air fry basket in the machine at the same time for storage.

Operation is very easy, if you haven’t used an electric pressure cooker or air fryer before it comes with good instructions. I always test new gadgets with a chicken and I based the timings on my open experience with the 1.8kg chickens I normally buy. The photo shows, before then after 20 minutes pressure cooking then the final result after 20 minutes of air frying. I used a thermometer to keep a check and it came out perfectly.

As can be seen in one photo the wire rack can be used to lift out the air fry basket. This is a tip from one of the many helpful online videos. The red silicone is in fact oven shelf protector available from Amazon.

Cleaning is very easy because of the excellent none stick surfaces. However remember to take the base feet off the air fryer basket as it does collect grease.

There are many accessories that fit including the silicone lid in the photo, this comes in a pack of 5 assorted sizes from Amazon. I use it when I have prepared something and it is resting or when using the saute function as a splatter guard.

The only small issue for me is that it has a fixed and short mains lead. My old electric pressure cooker and air fryer both have replaceable kettle style leads.

I love my Ninja Foodi Max! Since the day it arrived I’ve used it every day to air fry, roast chicken, pressure cook. I’ve cooked pasta dishes and rice dishes, including risotto. Omelette, chicken wings, ribs, burgers, steak. All cooked quicker and foods come out so flavoursome and tasty! Highly recommend you get this. It’s a must for any chicken. It hasn’t let me down yet. It’s worth the price for sure 🙂

This makes a good roast chicken. Initial steam (15-20 Min)) / pressure cooking then swap the lid and (12 min) crisp it up. A bit convoluted but it does work and produces a very moist bird with a crispy skin. Times are just a guide

Also makes OK chips, I tried two methods: Steam then crisp (5 + 20 min), (a bit like the chicken) and alternatively just crisp (25min) There was no advantage to the steam step so don’t bother. For roast potatoes I guess the steam would help. But you must dry them before oiling and crisping.

Back to chips. I was using less than best potatoes and had cut them fairly large (chunky) The irritating thing about chips is that they take longer than a chicken to get to the table as you must pre soak the chips for an hour. This has the advantage that old tattys firm up again but there is the time penalty.

The other variable is the oil you use. After drying the soaked chips with a tea towel they are popped into a plastic bag for oiling. Just throw a small amount of oil into the bag and shake it around until they are coated. I tried olive oil and sesame. Sesame seemed to be the better oil but there are many other oils out there, just be aware that you are heating the oil to 200C so don’t use a delicate and easily burnt/denatured oil.

Every 8 minutes or so you need to open the crisping lid and move the chips around, I used a wooden spoon and closed the lid again. After all that the chips are crispy on the outside and moist in the middle. My dieting other says they are fine.

Huge and noisy, yes it is. It throws out heat and/or steam. To open the lid you need a lot of headroom. To release the steam lid I used an old kitchen roll tube to direct the steam upward, protected my fingers whilst controlling the release rate.

Obviously this machine can make a vast range of foods, they claim yogurt too. it is very solid and quite heavy, you need plenty of space to use it and store it. But it does replace an oven, an air drier, pressure cooker, steamer, grill etc…

Amazing machine cooks a Sunday roast in half the time of a fan oven..you wouldn’t need a cooker anymore after buying this..

Gift for my wife, who had wanted one for ages. We use it for most meals either for the entire meal or bits of it. A few functions we haven’t yet tried but it lives up to our expectations.

This is great product. Reduces cooking time compared to normal oven. Does 2kg beef joint in just over 1 hour. Does not dry out the meat, stays juicy and tender. Dear to buy but we got good deal on Pre Black Friday deal, so well worth the cost.

Great for cooking all sorts of stuff. Downside is not many recipes in the little book, but we figure things on our own. Still haven’t used all the options! Overall we love it.
