The ease of use and quality of this item ranks high in my judgement

Amazing kitchen item. Super easy to use. And make food for a lot of people. Much faster than standing by the oven the whole day making the same thing. Plus no oil use omg best thing

I absolutely love Ninja products so I decided to get rid of my Pampered chef air fryer and that was the best decision ever. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this air fryer. And the reheat setting is awesome!!

It's a great product. I love using it. The brand Ninja keeps it

Beautiful design. Very user friendly. The cooking capacity and capabilities exceed the price range.

The best air fryer I've had. It cooks thoroughly and evenly. Big enough for multiple servings and cooks virtually anything. 5 stars for the win!

I thought for a long time whether I would use it or not! Now I understand that it was the most necessary purchase for a bachelor:) I use it every day! It cooks very quickly! Saves time!!! Works quietly!

Excellent air fryer I recommend for everyone both family and business

It's excellent, it makes everything faster and healthier

best air fryer ever, it is a good size .worths the money

This is my first air fryer and I can't complain! Cooking faster

I give this to my daughter, she loves it! Now my home needs one.

The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL is a solid upgrade from my previous model, boasting some neat new functions. I particularly love the Max Crisp function; it's a game-changer that has rendered my conventional oven and microwave obsolete. Its compact design is perfect for my kitchen counter, and it's spacious enough to whip up a family size meal in under an hour. I tried making 2 pounds of frozen French fries, without any oil, on Max Crisp mode for 30 minutes, as the manual suggests, and they turned out just as delicious as the ones from a fast-food place, but without all the grease. Remember to give them a shake now and then for uniform cooking. This air fryer's hot air circulation is impressive, taking the heavy lifting out of cooking. From chicken tenders to wings and every dish I've tried turned out perfect with a little experimentation on the different cooking settings. The chicken tenders turned out better than the KFC ones with max crispy settings, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, all this without having to fry them in oil! I was also pleasantly surprised by the reheat and dehydrate functions, which are typically tasks for my microwave, but the Ninja Air Fryer did a great job. It's even taken over most of my microwave's duties, including toasting bread perfectly. It's quieter than I expected, and cleaning is a breeze—the ceramic-coated basket and crisper plate mean nothing sticks. You'll want to keep it away from the wall due to the rear air vent. The new features of the 6-in-1 Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL is a game changer for me as it cut down my cooking time with lot more healthier choices. I'd definitely suggest giving the new 6-in-1 Ninja Air Fryer a go if you're keen on moving towards healthier meal options without missing the delightful experience of indulging in fast food favorites, guilt-free.

It’s like 3 times louder than my old Ninja fryer, Not happy about that new model, will return it back to the store.

I bought this brand new, but when I received it has sole cosmetics spots which is weird !!!

I have several Ninja kitchen appliances. Blenders, Pots and Pans, Digital Ovens, Grills, etc. and like my other Ninja branded products, this air fryer is also easy to use and produces excellent results. The Pro XL has a 6.5-quart capacity and 6 different cooking options: Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. Operation is as simple as it gets. Select your cooking function, the desired temperature, and the cook time. That’s it. The Ninja does the rest. The hardest part of using this air fryer is wading through the endless recipes on-line trying to find one you like. Ninja includes a small recipe book with the Pro XL, but there are endless recipes available on the web. I have tried several different foods in this air fryer. I wanted to see how this little air fryer stacked up against my Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven. While the whole family loves the Air Fry Oven (we use it nearly every single day), when it comes to air frying and crisping, the Pro XL has the Air Fry Oven beat. Food comes out much more consistent in the Pro XL. The Air Fry Oven would often get part of the food on its tray, very done and food further from the air circulating fan, not so much. This is something that does not affect the Pro XL. Because food is placed directly underneath the recirculation fan, everything in the air fry basket comes out evenly cooked, fried, reheated, etc. There are no hot spots or uneven cooking, just don’t overcrowd the basket and things will be great. The food cooked in the Pro XL is consistent and evenly cooked. Whether it be chicken wings, chicken parmesan, steak bites, pizza bagels, pizza reheats, etc., the Pro XL has produced superior results. The whole family has commented on how much better the food is out of the Pro XL vs the Air Fry Oven or even our conventional oven. The one thing that impresses me most about the Pro XL is the ease of cleanup. While I love my Air Fry Oven, it isn’t the easiest to clean. Far from it. Not the Pro XL. Ninja’s ceramic coating is impressive. Nothing sticks to it. Almost everything I’ve had spill in either the crisper tray or the air fryer basket rinses out with just water. If it won’t come off with water, a little soap and a sponge takes care of the rest. Even cheese. Impressive!!! The same can’t be said about the Air Fry Oven. NEGATIVES I would like to see the addition of pre-heat option and I would like to see the inclusion of a food thermometer. A food thermometer that integrates and automates the Air Fryer Pro XL’s cooking would be slick. CONCLUSION There isn’t much not to like about the Pro XL Air Fryer. I know I talked a lot about the Air Fry Oven during the review, not to bash on the Oven, because it is now a staple in our home, but to highlight the differences between the two. After having experience with both, I would easily recommend the Pro XL. Like all my other Ninja products, the Pro XL doesn’t disappoint. It is easy to use, easy to clean up and best of all helps you cook some of your favorite comfort foods healthier than other alternatives. I can see why air fryers have become so popular. A worthwhile addition to any busy household. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

As a huge fan of Ninja's Air Fryers, and using my previous model a few times a week, I was really excited to try out the new Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1 with 6.5 qt capacity. Setup was an absolute breeze. Cut open the box, remove top piece of foam, remove wrapping and cardboard from the 6.5qt tray, plug in, ready to go. The entire thing honestly took me less than 1 minute. It took almost as long to type that sentence as it did to physically get this going. Upon placing on my counter, I immediately noticed how small this appliance is. This thing sits barely higher than 1 foot. Official produce dimensions: 14.921259842519685 in L x 11.299212598425198 in W x 12.007874015748031 in H. It's This is about HALF the size of my last Ninja, and, with about 4 times the capacity. The tray is 6.5 quarts! That's 5lbs of fries or 9lbs of chicken wings. That's a ton of food for such a small footprint of an appliance. The weight of this is impressive too, measuring in at just 11.44 lbs, it's very easy to move around the kitchen. Being so small, it could even sit inside a pantry or cupboard when not being used to free up counter space. Operating is about a simple as the unpacking and minimal as the size. You pull out the tray, place food into the tray (I always make sure the crisper is inserted as well) press the power button, select the temperature and cook time, press start. It's advised with just about anything you cook, to pause and shake the tray every few minutes. This ensures nothing gets stuck to the crisper, and things tend to cook more evenly that way. The Air Fryer Pro XL has a "Max Crisp" mode which sets the cook time to a scorching 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures things are more crisp and cook faster than the standard modes. Reheating some leftover fries took less than 2 minutes and they were crunchy and hot. Honestly, they were even better than the day they were delivered to my doorstep from delivery! It's also advised to set the Air Fryer away from under upper cabinets to give it room to vent. When cooking, hot air exhausts from the top. There is a vent in the rear that I believe is used for intake. When cooking, I did not notice any hot air coming out of the back, only the top. Since you are getting such a large capacity tray, you may be inclined to cook larger items in this Air Fryer, such as an entire chicken. Ninja included some alternative modes with this model, such as bake, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. I haven't had time yet to test all of the functions, though I was able to test out the dehydration feature along with my Air Frying. Slicing up slivers of potato, placing on the crisper tray and running the dehydrate function gave me fresh potato chips in a matter of about 20 minutes. Once done cooking, it's super easy to clean. Just remove the tray, fill the tray with soapy water, let soak, rinse. The crisper tray removes from the main tray for easier scrubbing. The crisper is made of a ceramic coating non-stick material, so stuck on food comes off easily. Occasional wiping down of the main appliance is needed to keep it looking fresh and new, but otherwise, this thing is low maintenance. The crisper tray is even dishwasher safe. If you're unsure of what to cook, or, how to cook what you want, Ninja included a recipe book along with a cooking chart to help you. What I enjoy most about using an Air Fryer vs conventional frying is both ease of use, and cleanliness. There is no oil needed. No splattering of oil all over yourself or the kitchen, so it's safer both physically and for your health. Using the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL is an absolute pleasure. It elevates foods that need a good crisping, makes cook times lower, and takes up very little space. There is nothing not to love about this little appliance. It will absolutely become one of, the most used appliances in the kitchen. Well done Ninja, thank you for such a well thought out appliance. I'll be looking forward to the next gadget!

We really love this Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL and it is by far the best one we have used yet. We use this to cook various meats and vegetables so it’s more than just something that heats up wings and fries. The XL version is perfect for a family of two to four people and it cuts down on the cooking time drastically compared to a regular oven or fryer. The reason we love this is because the main basket is very large and not as deep as the original air fryers which means that more food gets cooked evenly without the need to be constantly stirred or rotated off the bottom to the top. Also because it is more square and stout it is easier to store and there is more clearance between the top of the unit and the cabinets when it’s on the countertop. The basket and crisper plate are coated with a non-stick surface so clean up is quick and simple. The six preset functions make using the air fryer simple and it really does a great job browning and crisping the food. The only concern I have is that the crisper plate is thinner than most and it fits very snuggly in the basket which makes it slightly more difficult to remove for cleaning. There are silicone/rubberized feet that extend out on the side of the crisper plate that help it seat in the basket but also cause some resistance when inserting or removing the plate. Since the sides of the basket and crisper plate are non-stick surfaces you have to be careful to not scratch either one as you seat the crisper plate in the basket. Operating this air fryer is simple. First you select one of the six functions which are Max Crisp, Air Fry, Air Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate. Then you select the time and temperature and hit the start button. The functions have a default temperature setting but you can adjust it up or down to meet your cooking needs. They include a fairly large recipe book to give you some recommended items to cook and what settings to use. The bottom crisper plate and the basket are coated with non-stick so the surfaces are very easy to clean by hand or if you prefer they are dishwasher safe.

I’m late to the air fryer game – this is my first. But after using this Ninja “Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1 with 6.5 QT Capacity” model for a few days it’s already become integral to my cooking with its many operational modes. (I’ll refer to it as “Ninja” going forward. It’s a true 5-star product. If this model is lacking anything it would be a glass window to see the food cooking like a regular oven or toaster oven. As it is you have to pause and slide out the cooking basket. Also, the dehydrating function is more for show than it is practical. Much of what kept me away was the name – “fryer” doesn’t align with my eating preference, and I assumed it was just speed fryer that still required a heap of oil. But that isn’t the case – it has more in common with a convection oven than a fast food fryer – so I decided to try this one out, especially because it does so much more than “air fry.” There is another other reason I was reluctant to get one – appliances take up counter space, which I lack. Physically, the Ninja does take up considerable counter space, especially in-depth, but I tolerate that because of its usefulness. If you want to store it under the counter or in a panty though it’s surprisingly light and easy to move around. I parked mine on the countertop next to my oven in what is dead space anyway. The front control panel is clean and intuitive. Right out of the box I understood how to use it. It’s a minimalist layout with buttons for power, start/pause, temperature, cooking time, and cooking mode. The various buttons have a nice bouncy tactile feel to them. To operate just set the cooking mode then time and temp. That’s it. One quirk I found is that you can only change the temperature and cook time when cooking, and not when it’s paused. The cooking modes on this model are max crisp, air fry, bake, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. Max Crisp as a separate mode, to me, is a marketing gimmick, as its just air fry at a higher temperature than you can set air fry to. Functionally all the modes are similar with the difference, I think, being the amount of air that is circulated. The heat source is an electrical element, visually similar to an electric stove, at the top of the unit. There are three parts to the Ninja, the main cooking unit, a 6.5 qt. food basket with handle, and a crisper tray that sits inside the food basket. For most cooking the food sits on the crisper tray at one of two levels inside the basket. Both the food basket and crisper tray are dishwasher-safe and ceramic coated to prevent food from sticking – no nasty PFOAs here. After set-up I focused on the performance of three modes vs both my regular and toaster oven: air fry, bake, & roast, plus I also was intrigued by the dehydrate mode. I felt duty-bound to break in the Ninja with regular french fries so I poured what would be a fast food “medium size” portion of Alexia “Crispy Rosemary Fried with Sea Salt.” In my toaster oven this amount of fries would take 18-20 minutes to cook and even then some fries closer to the front usually end up half-baked. So I was stunned the Ninja cooked them perfectly crisp, but not crunchy, in just 10 minutes (including 3 minutes of pre-heating). They were less greasy too, probably since they didn’t have to sit on a solid aluminum foil sheet like when cooked in an oven or toaster oven. I also noticed the cooking temperature was lower too. I used 400F where I would use 450F in an oven. Before moving on to another mode I decided to try something more tricky – sweet potato fried. These have always been a challenge for me to get them crispy before burning. I found the Ninja didn’t change that initially…but after some trial and error I did find the “sweet” spot, so to speak, between time and temperature. Unlike the regular fries, these did come out greasy at first, but after blotting with a paper towel and letting them drain for a minute they were crispy and delicious. But the lesson here is if you first fail, try gain. There is a learning curve with some foods. Transitioning to different foods is definitely easier in an oven or toaster oven where you just have to change the pan or aluminum sheet. The basket and crisper tray are greasy were nasty looking after making fries so I felt compelled to clean them in the dishwasher before moving on. As I got more comfortable with the air fryer though I started just putting a dab of dishwashing liquid on them and handwashing. Takes about 5 min, though uses more water this way. Once out of the dishwasher I was ready for round 2, roasting. Time for something healthy. I soaked some whole (frozen) Brussels sprouts in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and ground pepper for a few minutes. Then I drained the mix and dumped the sprouts onto the crisper and let them bake for about 8 minutes at 375F They came out as expected for roasting – very slightly crisp on the outside but otherwise moist. Especially for cooking for one or two people this is a huge time and energy saver vs doing this in a regular oven. I look forward to trying out meats soon, especially for making chilis and stews. After a quick handwash, I was ready for dessert, which I don’t always have. But in the name of testing, I bought a package of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough for the baking test. Here I placed the crisping plate at the middle level of the basket, and preheated at 375F for 3 minutes. Then put four rolls in for eight minutes. Checking in on them just six minutes later they were already burnt. Lucky I still had four for a do-over. I lowered the crisping plate to the bottom and reduced the heat to 350F and set the timer to eight minutes again. This time the rolls came out with a nice light brown coloring and soft flaky texture. Yum. This was more convenient that using a big oven and the cooking was more even than a toaster oven. I was really surprised an electric element could do such a good job. I saved the best (in my mind) for my finale – dehydrated fruit. The results were great, but I was disappointed by the low volume of fruit made. Stacking food in this mode isn’t allowed to I could barely fit half an apple and one strawberry on the crisper. Studying the cooking process here though, it looks like the fruit shrinks enough after an hour where you could add more fruit every hour, assuming you are home. Having never dehydrated anything before I went by the instructions which recommended seven hours. My batch, however, was done in about 3. The apples were in between chewy and crispy but the strawberry was as crisp as a fresh cracker. Temperature is very low, about 135F, so I don’t think there is any risk of burning here if you leave it in longer. My thought on the dehydration feature is, it’s a fun feature, but because of the low volume it produces, not an integral one. If you want to dehydrate food buy a dedicated dehydrator.

Very nice thing to own. I am extremely satisfied with this air fryer which is very convenient and easy to use. I just must say, do not follow time for food products on the device, it will burn. I found that food is done in half time from time on the sticker, which is good thing but just sometimes to be awere of. For example fries has two markings one 20-25 minutes, other for 10-15 minutes but in my case fries was done each time in 7-8 minutes. Same with frozen chicken, marked as 35-40 minutes and for me was done each time in 20 minutes. Also rrmoving tray and shaking the food in the middle of the prepiring will give better results and food will be evenly done from both sides. Cleaning is easy as possible, remove the tray take out the plate and wash it. Definitely high quality product that makes awesome fryed food. This fryer can also bake and roast the food. For those who are not familiar with air fryer, you get better reasults then with traditional fryer but less greasy since you are not frying in oil but instead air will remove some grease from meat. Once again, easy, fast and very convenient and every household would be happy it. Pros: Easy to use Fast Great results Easy to clean Cons: None really
