It wasn't the air fryer's fault
5 Stars
It wasn't the air fryer's fault
To my fellow culinary adventurers. This is a 5 star review about the one and only Ninja AF101 Air Fryer.Picture this: a hopeless cook, armed with nothing but a dream and a recipe book thicker than an old fashion phonebook (yes, I belong to that era). That's me. I'm the kind of cook who burns water and turns toast into charcoal. But fear not, for hope arrived in the form of the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer.With visions of crispy sweet potato fries and golden cauliflower dancing in my head, I eagerly unpacked my new kitchen companion and set to work. The controls are as easy to navigate and I knew I am on my way to culinary greatness.But fate had other plans. Despite the Ninja AF101's valiant efforts, my cooking skills remained as questionable as ever. I burned the fries, charred the cauliflower , and somehow managed to set off the smoke alarm with nothing but a salad.It wasn't the air fryer's fault. Oh no, this mighty machine did everything it promised and more.So while I may still be a terrible cook, I refuse to blame it on the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer. In fact, I'll sing its praises from the rooftops (once I figure out how to use the ladder without falling). It's the hero of my kitchen, the savior of my taste buds, and the reason I can still enjoy a decent meal despite my culinary shortcomings.So here's to you, Ninja AF101 Air Fryer, for trying your best to rescue a terrible cook like me. You may not have succeeded in turning me into a honorary chef, but you've certainly made my kitchen adventures a whole lot more entertaining. Five stars for effort and five stars for making me believe that maybe, just maybe, I'll get the hang of this cooking thing someday.

After owning several different types of Air Fryers I have found this Ninja by far superior. It’s not that the others were not good products, it’s just that the Ninja is a much higher quality. Its price was fantastic. The weight and ease of cleaning is better. The controls are easier to understand, see and access. And finally it cooks much more evenly leaving a more desirable food appearance. And although it may be my imagination, it just seems to turn out a tastier food product. I love this air fryer on every level. It is “The Cats Meow”

Absolutely thrilled with this air fryer! It's been a game-changer in my kitchen. From the moment I received it, it's completely transformed the way I cook. Its hot air frying technology delivers crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside results without the need for excess oil! It's amazing how it achieves that perfect balance between flavor and health. Plus, its compact and easy-to-clean design makes it a true kitchen essential. I can't recommend it enough!

Been having this fryer for 2 weeks now and it has NOT rested yet. I LOVE IT & wonder how I've gone this long w/out one. Before I start bragging on this thing, I am by no way endorsed by Ninja or getting paid by them. I've owned a few Ninja products blenders and still have one that's over 10 years old. They make quality machines. This fryer is a life & time saver...especially if you're a lazy cook. I have been researching air fryers for the past few months and nothing comes close to the Ninja. The basket size isn't the large 5+ quart capacity like the bigger fryers, (Ninja is only 4qt), but this thing cooks so fast you won't miss the extra 1 qt. It comes w/ a crisper that works perfectly, a recipe book and a multi-layer rack. The first night I had it I made wings and I tell you that I will NEVER buy fried chicken again!!! Yes, they were that crispy and tasted much better. I bought the Louisiana fried chicken flour from Walmart, battered the wings, spritzed w/ a little olive oil and had fried chicken in 10 minutes. No greasy mess, no 3rd degree burns from hot oil, and your house doesn't smell like a chicken joint for 4 days afterward. Because the Ninja uses a ceramic coating on their fryers the clean up is very easy. Next, I made sweet potato fries! Had a bag of frozen ones in the freezer and popped those babies in for 10 min. They were crispier than McDonald's. I tried homemade fries but the procedure takes too long. You have to peel, slice, soak potatoes, dry them...I'm just ready to pop them in the fryer and eat! It has been nonstop air fryer cooking in this house! I hit youtube to get a few recipes and it's been on ever since. What I like best about this fryer is it has a dehydrator feature and how fast it cooks. Frozen chicken wings? No problem! Throw them in the fryer for 10 minutes and they're defrosted. I've cooked pizza, fries, wings, reheated food, fried zucchini, and tonight I baked a chocolate cake. Everything came out perfect! Next up is donuts! The only thing I don't like about this fryer is 30 seconds after it finishes cooking it shuts off. I know this is a safety feature but I always have more items to cook. In 2 weeks, I have used my microwave twice, and that was to reheat coffee. Before I forget, I did cinnamon rolls too! I used the canned Pillsbury ones and it normally takes 20 min in the oven. In the Ninja? 8 minutes and that's if you like them brown. I actually could have stopped it at 5 min and they would be perfect. My house smelled like a Cinnabon factory!😛 I have used every feature on this fryer except the dehydrator but I'll be making beef jerky soon. Overall, I am VERY pleased! The best selling feature was the price & the size. The Ninja is much slimmer than some of the bulkier fryers and fits under my cabinet nicely. I'm also happy it only used 1500W unlike some of the larger fryers that burn 1800 which could kill your light bill. The outside of the fryer doesn't get hot so you won't have to worry about getting burned but do take caution when taking your food out. Is it loud? My exhaust fan on my stove is louder than the Ninja. The extension cord on it is long so you don't have to worry about being limited on where you can place it. I think I've covered everything? This thing is THE BOMB! If you're wondering what cookware you can use, just about anything you place in a microwave you can put in the Ninja. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a few 7" foil pans I use to reheat food & bake in. Also, grab you some silicone tongs while you're there so you don't scratch the surface of your fryer. This thing has been almost as good as a kid getting a new bike for Christmas. You will NOT be disappointed w/ this purchase. Happy & healthy cooking!

I’m very happy with my air fryer. Easy to use & clean, works great, looks nice on the counter. It’s the perfect size for me. If you have several in your family, you might want the bigger size, but for one or two, this is the right size. A lot of times I don’t buy small appliances because I don’t end up using, but I’m using this all the time.

I don't really do anything too crazy with it; just the standard frozen foods that are typically fried like french fries, onion rings, tater tots, chicken nuggets, etc. It's a bit hit or miss and takes some tweaking to get food just right, but you learn where to make adjustments as you go. Unfortunately, most air fryer instructions for foods assume that you're making a lot of food at once, so it's hard to get a gauge on things. I'm making a handful of fries at a time, not a pound or a bag, so you develop your own times in your head. I've only ever set it to the default of 390 degrees, so I can't really offer much insight on how it performs at different temperatures.

Food turns out fine. If you're unfamiliar, air fried food doesn't really taste like it's been fried. The texture of the food falls somewhere between baking and frying, with food being generally crispy but a bit drier than usual since there's a lack of oil. Thankfully, this air fryer is consistent in its cooking as long as you don't crowd the basket. If you are crowding the basket to make a lot of food at once, you should constantly pull the basket out and shake it to redistribute the food so that things cook evenly. It does cook things quickly, so that's great, and it spares me from having to preheat my oven and warm up my house.

My biggest gripe is that it's a pain to clean. You only really have to just pull the basket out and clean that, but there seems to be an issue with the non-stick surface on the basket. Even if you fill it with boiling hot water and Dawn dish soap and scrub it with a sponge using some solid elbow grease, there always seems to be a ring of residue left behind right at the level of where the food rests on the tray at the bottom of the basket. I've used a variety of cleaners on it and nothing seems to strip off that ring of gunk because it seems to be embedded into the basket somehow. I've consistently cleaned the air fryer after every single fry, so it's not like I'm allowing it to accumulate over the course of multiple fries, and that ring doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Outside of that, I'm mostly satisfied with the product. It preheats in just 3 minutes and saves me a lot of hassle to make small batches of quick meals, and food quality is solid. I just wish that the surface of the basket were a bit higher quality non-stick.
