Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent air fryer. Makes things super crispy and is adjustable for big basket or single layer portions.

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!

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

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.

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.

This new updated model ninja air fryer has all the features that you need for your kitchen, the 6-1 includes Max Crisp, Air fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat and dehydrate. Easy to use and clean, the 6.5 QT XL basket let you cook up to 5lbs French fries or 9lbs chicken wings among other things within minutes and with the new feature of Max Crisp you can make those delicious fries or chicken extra crispy at 450°F. Even though this air frier has an XL basket , the whole appliance it’s compact and will not take much space on your kitchen counter, this is a plus for this air fryer since I use it daily and the air fryer is super light, only weights 11.44 lbs can be move anywhere in your kitchen. The only reason I do not give it 5 starts is because I’ve had in the past prior Ninja air fryers and the material seems lot stronger than this new model, the basket handle feels a little bit less stronger that prior models, also when I remove the basket after cooking, the air fryer slide off the my kitchen’s counter, other ninja appliances either have a stronger grip on the bottom or have suction cups that hold the appliances in place, besides this cons, this air fryer is a great product to make your food taste better with less oil and cook faster.

I have never used an air fryer before. I've read about them and thought about it but in the end, I would just stick with my stove top and oven for all my cooking needs. This went on for years till I finally decided to give one a try and picked up the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1. I wish I had done this sooner. After unboxing what is a pretty decent sized unit, I really like the all industrial look of black with silver highlights. It has nice easy to use controls and a digital display for readout. Setup? Well there really is no setup as it comes ready to go out of the box. Remove a few pieces of tape, take out the cardboard insert in the cooking chamber and you're good to go. When I say zero setup, I mean it. After reading the manual and seeing all their recommended settings, you quickly realize all you need to do is pick your temp, time and type of cooking you're doing and you're off. If you want to broil, move the shelf up. If you want to fry, keep it down. That's it! I tested it first with asparagus which is a staple for many of our meals. Tossed a bunch in oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika, dropped them in, punched in the recommended settings and off it went. It produced asparagus better than the stove top or oven and much easier and straight forward. It just got better from there. Potato wedges turned out nice and browned. Whole sweet potatoes cooked nice and properly. Peppers and Onions were a breeze. Toast some walnuts? Easy peasy. I love that since the space is small and the heat is constant, you can open it up to stir or shake your foods and pop it right back in and it's back to proper temp very fast unlike a large, traditional oven. Clean up is very easy. It literally took all of 2 minutes to wipe down the chamber and wash up the grate. I really have no complaints about the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL 6-in-1 and I will be trying all types of things in there asap!

This air fryer is the bees knees! I like that it has the deeper basket, and it really does a great job at what it is for! It's easy to use, easy to clean, and I have cooked so many different types of food (not just fried food) in this air fryer. I am very happy with this purchase.

I finally upgraded my old Ninja air fryer for this bigger one. I love the larger square basket. I specially looked for a ceramic coated air fryer. The grate inside has two positions depending on which way you put it in --one is high and one is low depending on what you are cooking. It's easy to remove for cleaning purposes. The Ninja is super easy to use. My old one which was like 4 years old still worked but I really wanted a bigger square shaped basket

To start off, I've owned the previous smaller model for a little over 4 years. To say I loved my Air Fryer is kind of an understatement and this one happens to go above and beyond in terms of features and capability. THE PROS: -LARGE single basket, without the footprint. While Ninja has started making dual basket versions, my only real gripe of those is that they're harder to maintain given the need to clean out both sides. The baskets are also smaller.. meaning if you want to make a full 2lb bag of raw chicken wings, you'll have to divide and actively maintain two sides. -MAX CRISP 450° setting Absolutely amazing for getting food like chicken wings very crispy! The combination of the larger 6.5qt basket also means less cooking time coming from the previous AF101 model. I can do a full 2lb bag within 30 mins of cook time!.. Previously it would take me over an hour to get a whole bag done on single layer cooking. I'm very happy about this. Aside from wings, all my normal go to's cook more or less similar with the improvement of the device being newer. I'm happy about this because I didn't exactly want a downgrade in cook quality. It kind of put me off to upgrading as I tried the Ninja Foodi XL oven and was very disappointed. 5/5 CONS: For some reason they changed the way the timer and temperature controls operate. You cannot really change it mid way once you commit to a certain setting. Requires tuning off and turning on the unit. Not the biggest con, but it can be an annoyance if you're used the the older models. NEUTRAL: The AF181 Air Fryer continues cooking for a minute after its "end" cycle. Doesn't bother me, but its just something to note. OVERALL: I highly recommend this model if you want an upgrade from the legacy models they released 5 or so years back. As I mentioned prior, there is no real replacement to a dedicated Air fryer. The "all in one" units have the appeal of being capable of doing everything, but fall short when it comes to how the food textures and tastes. I absolutely LOVE this model and I would highly recommend the upgrade if you already own a legacy Ninja Airfryer like me. 5/5!

I’m really impressed with the size and quietness of this air fryer. It’s perfect for our kitchen, and the Max Crisp feature is a game-changer it really gives food that perfect crunch. We’ve ditch our toaster, because of how versatile it is! It also has real buttons versus touch screen buttons like our last that barely worked, and clean up is a breeze.

Excellent product. Never thought I would use it as much as we do. Best part is the food it does well, it is the best way of cooking, with tasty, crispy results. Using parchment paper liners (pre-made/cut are available at many stores) makes for no clean up, just dispose of the paper. We purchased this particular model because it fits on the counter top under the cabinets perfectly. So good, we are going to purchase as a gift for family member.

This air fryer is very easy to use and keep clean. It makes terrific fries and meats. Also doesn't take up too much counter space. Highly recommend!

Ninja air fryer we bought was perfect! It’s the right size and appropriate for cooking all variety of recipes.

Love this airfryer! Was looking specifically this brand! Compact, easy to use and the food is delicious in it! Will definitely recommend it!

Works well for easy, time saving recipes. Efficient and size fits well into kitchen.

Very nice air fryer. Super easy to operate and consistent cooking. Nice size, not too large, but not too small.

Great quality and price. Well made. Cooks to perfection. Good size. Simple to use. Outshines my previous airfriers.

Perfect size for my kitchen. Easy to use and clean up. Good product for the price. Ninja products are great.
