Best air fryer I’ve ever used
5 out of 5 stars
Best air fryer I’ve ever used
This is probably the best kitchen device I’ve ever used. I live in a small rv so this thing made it so I don’t have to use the oven anymore which heats up my rv like crazy. This ninja barley heats up the place like my oven and cooks soooo much faster. It’s so wonderful

    The Ninja Air Fryer has made cooking so much easier and healthier! I love the 4-in-1 functionality, which allows me to air fry, roast, bake, and dehydrate all in one compact machine. Whether I’m making crispy fries, frozen foods, veggies, or juicy meat, the 4 QT capacity is perfect for preparing meals for my family without taking up too much space in the kitchen.

    The air frying feature is a game-changer, delivering the same crispy texture as deep-frying, but with much less oil. It’s the perfect solution for making healthier meals without compromising on flavor or texture. The machine heats up quickly, and the easy-to-use controls make it a breeze to cook meals with just the right settings.

    Cleaning is super simple, as the non-stick basket is dishwasher-safe. Plus, the compact design means it’s easy to store in my kitchen when not in use.

    This product offers great value for money, excellent functionality, and is easy to use. If you're looking for a versatile, easy-to-use air fryer for healthier, quick meals, I highly recommend the Ninja Air Fryer AF101! Highly recommend!

    My mom is notoriously difficult to shop for presents for. Like nearly impossible. She never asks for anything, never wants anything and rarely uses the things I do get her, even if she likes them.

    But I'd been thinking about how great an air fryer would be for her since she wouldn't have to take all of the pans out of the oven to cook, pre-heat the oven, wait for it to cool down before putting the pans back in while also using extra grease and oil to cook with.

    My husband I got her this, half expecting her to never use it, but she finally opened it up (we were starting to get a little worried she wouldn't even try it) and was immediately hooked! She finds it very easy to use (she's not tech-savvy at all, but it really is VERY easy and straightforward), versatile (you can make so many things in it including bread!) and easy to clean and put away.

    It doesn't take up a lot of countertop footprint space, but it can easily cook meals for the whole family (even one thing after another since we have differing tastes in our household) within minutes. It's completely changed the cooking experience for her for the better. She's not hot and sweaty from the oven and doesn't have to haul around pots and pans or add extra calories and fats to the food she's cooking.

    Since she got it, she's bought herself three air-fryer cookbooks and has made dinner in it at least 3-4 times a week! She's never shown this much interest or excitement out of using something I've given her. It was worth ever penny and more, both because it's an amazing piece of kitchen equipment but also to see her smile when she realized how much it helped her.

    We still have uses to discover with it since it does so many things, but literally nothing she's tried in it has turned out badly so I'm sure anything else that gets made is going to be amazing, too!

    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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Much faster and cleaner than an oven or frying pan
    Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2025
    Style: 5.5 QT MAXVerified Purchase
    Cooks clean and fast, easily stored, no spattered grease or spilt grease. Easy to wash, large enough to cook a full main dish, easier to use than an oven. Of course it does not have the full capability of a full size oven, but we are feeding usually between 2 and 4 people, and the volume is not usually need unless its a special occasion. My favorite things are, chicken wings, chicken fingers, ribs and baked potato, but there are hundreds of different foods that can be cooked in it. Unlike a microwave, it can brown the food and add extra flavor to the food.

    Es una muy buena freidora muy fácil de usar y no es tan pesada, en cuádruple de espacio siento que le faltó ya que está más alta que ancha

    Bought this product along with an electronic 2 ring convection hob, we love both products so much we are getting rid of our gas cooker, why keep it?
    The air fryer cooks beef, lamb, steaks, chicken in a third of the time the meat succulent and juicy, melts in your mouth.
    Our gas oven takes much longer, saving money on gas bills, we have got rid of our deep fat fryer as well...win/win.
    Highly recommend this product!!
    I have written a review on Amazon about the hob hope my reviews are helpful to others who may be considering to purchase either product?
