Fantastic produc
This product is multi purpose, I use it to bake, air-fry, cook, BBQ and pressure cook. This is an amazing product that everyone should have, I highly recommend this product.
Good, healthy cooking!
Bought it as I was moving to a new place. I have used the larger model before but bought this one due to limited storage space available. It’s great for cooking anything you need and still has the same main features; Air Fry, Steam Air Fry and Pressure Cook. It’s much easier to throw all my food in there instead of using ovens or microwaves, and it definitely comes out crispier and healthier! It’s also faster than an oven as it heats up faster.
Just started using it but love it so fa
As I had read, the clean up is a breeze. One tip I got before I started using it was to add some water if airfrying rashers, sausages etc. the fat the drops into that and no smoke. Second was to pour water into the empty pot after cooking and set to pressure for a few mins. This literally steam cleans it. So it’s like a little oven/grill but stays clean! And btw the pasta, chops, burgers, sausages etc have all been so tasty. Looking forward to trying more adventurous dishes
Good upgrade
We had a mk1 Ninja that is getting old, this is larger has a built in pressure cooker and looks better.
The issues, much noiser and make sure you open it from the front, otherwise really good.
Fabulous when it is working, but after 13 months it packed up. Ninja didn’t want to know, but thankfully Amazon were fantastic and have replaced the faulty unit. Well done Amazon you are stars, thank you.
Thought about maybe buying this for a number of months before buying as we were unsure about how useful it would be for us. Having bought it we would thoroughly recommend it for its ease of use and flexibility. We were new to air frying but now use it often for a variety of dishes. We also use it to steam bake bread and cakes – delicious and so moist. The slow cooker and pressure cooker functions are easy to use and effective. All in all I would highly recommend.
Ninja a god send
I hear nothing but positives about this item how its transformed peoples lives in a busy world, alas bought for my partner I think 3 years ago she as yet to use it once lol.
It’s ok
Since I got this, cooking is very easy and less time. I am enjoying it. But the lid is hard to cover and the ring is hard to clean So far its good.
Glad I brought i
I really like this I cooked a whole chicken in it twice and made a casserole with carcass. I put a frozen salmon in it and it was lovely and juicy.
First of all this is a big item. Think about where you will locate it and store it. I had to rearrange a cupboard. I had hoped it would fit in the space my slow cooker went but no. Secondly in air fry mode it’s quite loud. If you have a conversation while it’s running you will raise your voice over it. However, it’s big enough for an XL Chicken which it will cook perfectly in an hour. My Sunday roast pork was done in 2/3 of the time and I’ve never had such good crackling in my life. The slow cooker function is equally good and the large pot size means gallons of soup or stew. I’m still experimenting with functions but this has changed the way I cook.
I was told to buy one of these by my sister. I bought one. What she didn’t tell me is that you become addicted to cooking and using it. I cooked a 1.65Kg chicken on the steam/bake setting it took 37 minutes. Absolutely delicious. I made a ratatouille on the pressure cooking setting (following their recipe) it took me longer to cut the veggies than cook. I love it.
I can recommend this product.
Worth every penny spent, multi-functions really makes it so I don’t ever need to use my oven anymore. It is quite hefty and requires space for the top latch to open, also keep it mind that cleaning this after use is not an easy task to do. However if you look pass all the cons I’ve stated, it cooks perfectly every time, doesn’t take as much energy as running an oven does, and is it quite sturdy.
I talk too much about this
I’ve turned into one of those annoying airfryer people who can’t stop talking about it. I hardly ever now use the hob. All functions are amazing, the steam airfry cooked chicken thighs in 15 mins! Also can pressure cook tender rice in 2 minutes. Would highly recommend.
Relax & enjoy this amazing Ninja 15 in 1
It is really good. The product meets all the requirements expected, spaghetti bolognes , roast chicken , roast beef joint, chicken kievs, new potatoes, , carrots, brussel sprouts . All absolutely cooked beautifully cooked & never tasted better . Especially the joint of topside beef , it didn’t shrink & cooked perfectly, had a mustard & pepper coating & it was so nice. Anyway you get the picture,
It’s lovely & easy to clean & the air dry is great , In the basket provided I air fried the kievs. . Bananas are delicious sliced & dehydrated in the ninja,
Bread is lovely baked in this & am going to try lemon cake next
I was a bit scared of it at first, but to be honest I would not be without this now, it’s permanently out on my work top
Fantastic Foodi 15 in 1
I recently purchased the Ninja Foodi 15-in-1, and it has exceeded my expectations! Its versatility allows me to cook a variety of meals effortlessly. The air frying and steam roasting functions are game-changers, delivering crispy and tender results. The intuitive controls and easy cleanup make it a kitchen essential. Highly recommend for anyone looking to streamline their cooking experience!
It’s good, cooks fast, and I like it overall. Roasting chicken to perfect temperature and in just 30-40 minutes, so convenient. Slow cooked meat came out well too.
I’d say it’s a bit heavy, bulky, and quite noisy, comparing to other brands I had. I hope it’ll lasts better than others.
Ever thought of making yoghurt in a air fryer? me neither, and this is SO much more than an air fryer. Ok so for me the value was amazing as I got it on Black Friday for 33% off. It cooks very quickly, however I do find when I put food in 2 layers on the high and low shelf on provided that i do have to swap them round half way through in order to get even cook. Ive used it as a steamer, but really there is only 1 shelf as opposed to a dedicated steamer that will have 2 or 3 compartments. Ive baked with it – great and even. Ive not used the pressure cooker yet – but it is simple to use and lots of recipe ideas. Oh and it is heavy!!! VERY heavy.
Potentially, this cooker is a game changer – in particular, when using the Combi-Steam mode. We’ve successfully cooked delicious whole meals for four using this method in a fraction of the time compared to conventional cooking. There are other useful functions – pressure cooker, dehydrate, air fry, slow cooker, etc to name few which it also does very well.
This doesn’t have the thermometer/temperature probe, which is reflected in the price. It’s large and heavy (so spare worktop space needs to be available close to a power socket) – and that’s space without overhead cupboards that can foul the lid in its raised position. It’s noisy on some settings (e.g. Air Fry) and with some ingredients the rear vent can produce cooking smells that can linger if not near the kitchen extractor.
The accompanying recipe booklet is helpful but it’s limited in what it describes – although more are available via the QR code link to the Ninja Cooking Circle web pages. Beyond the tried-and-tested examples, it’s good to find the time to experiment and tease out what works best. Most of the helpful YouTube videos (mainly from the US) need the temperatures translated from Fahrenheit into Celsius for the UK model Amazon sells here and depending on when they were produced, there are some other minor product differences compared to US models.
Overall, after two weeks of near daily use, we expect there to be no change going forward.
We finally caved in and bought an air fryer as everyone raves about them. Ended up buying this one as a 15 in 1 seems to make sense for the price and to be fair I was considering a rice cooker anyway and this does rice well. However whether it is much better than an oven/hob setup I am really not sure. If you don’t have an oven, this is a great alternative. But because you can’t really cook multiple dishes at once in this (aside from one pot meals), you end up ideally often needing an oven or pans which takes away from some of the benefit. I had hoped for recipes you stick in and leave to cook but many still requiring searing or intervention half way to turn so very much like an oven really. What I will say though is rice biriyani dishes come up really nice and we had a perfect gammon roast done in it last Sunday so it does have value. Homemade chips are fairly quick and easy but then not much different to the oven. Pasta one pot dishes are probably not worth the effort and not as good as done on the hob but the bolognese itself was very nice. Most of these plus points are really the pressure cooker function – albeit the gammon did have 9 minutes of air frying with maple syrup basting after it had been initially pressure cooked and was lovely.
The NINJA Foodi 11-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker 6L is nothing short of a kitchen powerhouse. As someone who enjoys versatile cooking appliances that simplify meal preparation, this multi-cooker has quickly become an essential tool in my culinary repertoire.
The standout feature of the NINJA Foodi SmartLid Multi-Cooker is its remarkable versatility. With 11 cooking functions in one appliance, it’s like having an entire kitchen in a single device.

The large 6-liter capacity is ideal for preparing family-sized meals or batch cooking. It can easily accommodate a whole chicken, a pot roast, or a substantial batch of soup or stew. The non-stick cooking pot is removable and dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a breeze.
The included cooking accessories, such as the reversible rack and crisping basket, add to the cooker’s versatility. They enable you to prepare a wide range of dishes, from succulent roasts to crispy air-fried snacks.
The intuitive control panel and digital display are user-friendly, allowing you to select cooking functions, adjust time and temperature, and monitor the cooking process with ease. The pre-set cooking programs are convenient for beginners or those looking for a quick and hassle-free cooking experience.
One minor consideration is that the size and weight of the multi-cooker may take up some counter space and require a sturdy surface for placement. However, this is a minor trade-off for the versatility it offers.

I’ve had my 15-in-1 a while now and I’m still getting used to it & discovering new things to cook in it.
I like it, really I do – it’s versatile and a handy thing which can help reduce cooking time and therefore reduce energy consumption, which can only be a good thing.
BUT ( yes, there is a “but” ) handy and versatile though this is, in my case it can never be a complete replacement for an oven.
Here’s why:
There are times when – even cooking a family meal – the capacity of the Ninja is a problem.
Okay so it will cook my joint and maybe faster too, but I can’t cook my roasted veg, roast spuds AND Yorkies at the same time ( or in quick enough sucession).
Before someone says “Yes you can” – well maybe you can, but not the way I like mine cooked.
Added to that, either my meat cools too much before serving while the rest cooks or I have to cook things how I didn’t want them cooking, and on top of that any potential energy saving is reduced by cooking in the Ninja for longer to cook the different parts of the meal. And there’s nowhere to keep things warm like there is in my oven.
I can’t cook layers of cakes at the same time.
Nor can I cook two large pizzas and a tray of onion rings and/or fries like I can in a regular oven.
Those are just a few examples of why I still couldn’t manage withoutmy oven.
Otherwise it’s great.
My gammon joint for example turned out lovely, and I’d forgotten how useful a pressure cooker can be & this Ninja combines that with other methods of cooking too for added versatility.
A “quick” sponge turns out great as do many other things like chicken tikka or even heating a pie instead of microwaving it.
But for me, handy and versatile though this Ninja is, it might be a great addition to the kitchen and it will undoubtedly get used very regularly but it just can’t replace my oven.
That’s my experience although I recognize that individual needs differ.
The Ninja foodi has been on my wishlist forever, I happened to be gifted Amazon vouchers and bit the bullet and got the 14-in-1, Max. When it arrived I was surprised by how heavy the machine was. For a petite person, it is a lot of heavy lifting. The OL650UK model comes with 3 modes and 11 functions. I’ve yet to try every single one out but so far have been impressed with the pressure cooker, steam and air fry modes. It is easy to use out of the box but took me some time to get the guesswork out.
The search online, YouTube was limited to demos, but it’s all trial and error. The very first thing I cooked was pasta and chicken. The metal dividers help organised the food to be cooked, the Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 has a large capacity of 7.5 L, which can fit medium-sized chickens. At the bottom, I placed uncooked pasta, sauce and a top-tier metal tray stuck with two large chicken wings. On the steam, air fry mode, the pasta and chicken cooked within 30 mins. However, I suggest you lower the chicken as it was burnt on the first go.
The next thing I cooked was a whole roast chicken and potatoes. I cooked the chicken first on steam, air fry mode again. The machine pre-cooks and countdown on the display. The smart lid alerts you when you need to give things a shake. My roast chicken was spectacular, juicy on the inside and crispy skin on the outside. I had crispy roast potatoes in no time on the air fry mode.
I didn’t have much luck with homemade chips, using the pressure cooker mode to make the potatoes softer for 5 minutes was too much and when it came to air-fry it looked like one big mush.
I found frozen scampi and chips easy to throw together for the toddler, throwing everything in the crisp basket and on air-fry for a quick meal.
The crispy pork belly was a success, PC for 5 mins and then air-fry for 20 mins. The meat was juicy and tender.
What I love about the smart lid is that the on-screen display prompts let you know when it’s safe to open the lid. The value for natural and quick release is only needed during the PC mode.
As mentioned it takes a lot of trial and error to get the correct settings for cooking, but I just love the ease of using the Ninja Foodi and look forward to experimenting. Clean-up is easy, scrubbing down the ceramic pot, and steaming the lid once in a blue moon.
