    we bought the Ninja air fryer a few weeks ago and it has been an awesome alternative to frying our favorite foods. It is easy to use and cooks very quickly.

    I air roasted cauliflower with a little oil, garlic salt and pepper. It was amazing. Made pizza rolls first being i didn't know how to use it and it would be much simpler. Pizza rolls came out nice and crunchy . I was going to get a steamer for veggies , however with this air roast setting there is no need to buy a steamer. I ordered a few air fry cookbooks to give me an idea to what are the possibilities . The cookbook that came with it is not much of one, just a few pages . Very easy to clean.

    Great product. Have to play with settings a couple times but once you figure out it's great. No more messy oil with deep fryers. This cooks great. A must have.

    Works Great But Only For Small Batches.

    I really like my air fryer and use it almost everyday to make snacks -- sweet potato fries, butternut squash fries, etc. Easy, quick and convenient. Just cut up some veges, toss in a little oil, salt and pepper and put them in the air fryer -- a yummy and healthy alternative to deep fried food. The downside is that you can only cook a small amount at a time in this unit -- about enough for one or two people. If you want to make a large batch, enough for a family, you will probably want a larger air fryer.

    We've been using the Ninja 4qt fryer for about a year now and love it. One of the things we use it for is chicken wings. These fryers cook wings to a very crispy finish, as if they were deep fried. The only complaint we have ever had was that we wished it were a bit bigger. Enter the Max XL. Same excellent results as the smaller version with more capacity. The temps in this model go 50 deg higher and this one seems more quiet than the smaller one. Very happy with both of our Ninja Air Fryers. I have attached some side by side phots for folks wondering about size differences.

    This has to be the best thing since the InstaPot. The ease of use, quality of food that comes from it, and little to no clean up makes this a no-brainer purchase.

    We’ve used it so many times now. Its fun, quick and provides us more variety of foods to cook because of its ease of use. I would have given 5 stars but the ‘fried’ smell goes all over the house. I wish they made it wish some short of carbon filter it that would help out any.

    I have used this air fryer almost everyday since I got it. I have found so many uses for it. And it doesn’t heat up the kitchen like an oven would. Ninja is always reliable, and I highly recommend this little fryer.

    I bought this to replace an old non-stick air fryer that already have scratches in its coating. If you want an upgrade on your air fryer, this is the one. Good product, sleek design and it's user-friendly. I would buy this again in the future.

    Definitely things get crisp without adding oil. Just have to be very cautious and check things as they're cooking. Otherwise can overcook and/or burn. Definitely a learning curve but good way to cook when I get things right. Plenty of recipes on the web but most seem to recommend hotter or longer than necessary in this air fryer. You'll need a food thermometer to gauge cooking time. Super easy to clean. I just add some dish soap and water to soak the bucket so It'a really easy to wash clean after dinner. Store in my pantry to save counter clutter.
