    Health nuts rejoice! It truly is funny getting excited about small kitchen appliances, but in this case it is certainly warranted. After having a few air fryers since they came out, I think I have finally found “the one.” Being a health conscious vegan family, we are always into preparing food with appliances that are not only healthy, but also do their jobs well. The Ninja Air Fryer definitely takes care of both. In the mood for crispy fries or tater tots without the oil and mess? How about perfectly dehydrated thinly sliced Potato or Zucchini chips? With Max Crisp, Air Fry, Air Roast, and Air Broil settings all at the touch of a button, you can make a veritable plethora of yummy food items in this “oilless” fryer. Here is one of my favorite items to cook. I put a thawed Beyond Burger on the wire rack and use the Air Roast setting at 390 degrees for nine minutes. Once it is done, I open it up to put a slice of Follow Your Heart vegan cheddar cheese on top, reclose it for a few minutes to melt, and voilà! Dress it up how you like, slap it on a bun, and taste just how delicious vegan cheeseburgers can be. Perfectly cooked without even starting the grill. Another great thing to make is crispy tofu. Cube the tofu (firm recommended), lightly spray it with avocado or olive oil, season it with your favorite seasonings, and toss it with a light coat of flour of your choice, then set the fryer on “Max Crisp” for 7-10 minutes. I was previously not a fan of tofu, but after max crisping it in the Ninja, my mind has changed. In fact, I just had this tonight. I re-created a bowl I always get at Yumm but made it way better at home with my own organic ingredients and personal touches. A lot of air fryers only come with a single timer dial, some have a timer dial and a temp dial. The Ninja gives you more options and includes temp, timer, all of the aforementioned cooking modes, as well as bake, reheat, and dehydrate buttons. It even has a digital readout to help you set these functions, as well as to show you exactly how much time is left. Way better than a simple dial. I can also say that this fryer seems to cook quicker than the others I’ve had before. Efficiency is on point! The Ninja is also VERY easy to keep clean. Once it has cooled down a little, simply rinse the bottom rack and wire rack and toss them in the dishwasher, then use a little dish soap and a scratch free sponge or scrub brush to hand wash the basket. The basket is non stick so I have had no issues with anything sticking so far. Quick and easy cleanup is a BIG bonus in my family. Bottom line… If you cook for yourself, I can’t recommend this enough. Why heat up a full size oven when you have this?! Granted there are obvious things an oven can do that an air fryer can’t, I still find myself using this several times a week and I am always thinking about what else I can cook in it. You can prepare so many different things with an air fryer that I believe I have only scratched the surface of what it is capable of. All that said, it’s certainly not only for the lonesome cooker. If you want to prepare a whole basket of food for the family, by all means go for it. Cook a little portion or a big portion. It does the trick. If you have a full basket of veggies, fries, tots, whatever, you will want to stir/toss a few times while cooking. The Ninja will pause itself if the drawer is opened so you can do this easily. I think I’ll figure out how to do a vegan pizza next. Nom nom! PROS: It’s a Ninja It’s a healthy way to cook Takes less time to cook than other air fryers Digital readout Several cooking modes including Dehydrate Wire rack included Extremely easy cleanup Stylish and cool looking We own a lot of SharkNinja products and absolutely love them all CONS: Now I’m hungry

    My Ninja air fryer has worked great for heating and reheating my favorite foods! I have yet to try making dessert in it, but I'm excited to try! I love the variety of foods I can make in 20 mins or less!

    Best Buy is a dishonest Company, Items are going to be defective and go on sale , they claim they have a Price Match Guaranty. THEY ARE JUST SHYSTERS. They String you along until their 15 DAY Price Match and RETURN POLICY EXPIRES and then TELL YOU or CREATE another EXCUSE. THEY DID NOT HONOR THEIR PRICE MATCH.

    Tested it for first time with French fries. We like the fact that there is less oil/grease when cooked this way. Looking forward to trying chicken wings.
