Customer Ratings & Reviews

PROs - Lots of flexibility in a relatively small formfactor - Combi modes cook fast and produce good results - Air fryer functionality is top notch - Dishwasher safe pans CONs - Flat cooking area less than some other machines - Some of the plastics feel a little cheap The Combi is a versatile multicooker with a ton of features baked in. After using it over the past several weeks I think it would be especially nice to have in new households or apartments where people are looking to keep the number of countertop appliances to a minimum. As the name implies the Combi can cook a combination of things simultaneously, helpful for preparing everything that you will need for a meal all at once. There are two primary cooking modes: Combi Cooker which utilizes steam/air cycling and Air Fry/Stovetop each with their own notable capabilities. The design of the unit is overall great and it feels well built with stainless steel accents, though I did wish that it used less plastic on the sides for a more premium feel. The front however looks great and I like how the control panel is glossy black as it helps mask oily fingers better than I think matte plastic would. The options and buttons are clear and easy to read and the device has a button for turning on the interior light to illuminate the food for viewing through the front window. The unit has grippy rubber feet which help insure that it doesn't move or shift when opening and closing the door. The Combi Cooker functionality is the highlight of this unit. Of the different modes under this category the standout is by far the Combi Meals mode. This function allows you cook your base grain/pasta along with your vegetable and protein all in one go and do so in a way is quicker than using your conventional oven. I tried several of the recipes within the included inspiration guide. I recommend keeping this guide in a cabinet near the unit as it's a super helpful reference on how to use the machine efficiently with good results. All of the recipes breakdown which ingredients go in which tray and it's usually as simple as adding and mixing those ingredients into each of the pans. For the beef tacos with rice and beans, the rice and beans are mixed and cooked in the bottom Combi pan, while the bell pepper and onion veggies along with the ground beef are placed in the top bake tray. This resulted in fluffy rice and beans and the steam generated resulted in tender but crispy vegetables. I cooked other things like pasta in the bottom pan and chicken with broccoli in the top following the suggested instructions which also came out great and cooked really quickly. As I previously stated, a big part of how the combi system works is the creation of steam from the water that is placed in the bottom pan. This steam with the addition of a fan moves the heat around in a way that helps speed up cooking, while not drying out the food that you’re preparing. This is especially helpful when utilizing the Combi Bake, Steam and Proof modes where having steam in your environment is important to the process, but also in other cooking modes like Combi Crisp where you desire to speed up the cooking process for things like roasts and veggies. The cake that I made utilizing my 8” cake pan on top of the combi pan with the crisper tray filled with a cup of water came out super moist with no hard or over cooked spots which I largely attribute to the steam. Also importantly this unit gets a lot of the basics right too. I used it for quite a bit of air frying and I was really happy with the end results. All the air frying I do is with no added oil and I typically avoid flipping the food if I can when the air circulation is especially good. I can confidently say that the Combi makes an excellent air fryer for things like mozzarella sticks, mini corn dogs, and French fries coming out uniformly crispy and delicious. It also does simple things like toast really well getting both sides uniformly toasted. There are other functions too that I haven't tried yet like the slow cook and sous vide which should be fun to experiment with. I did bake a frozen pizza which turned out great with a good crispy crust and uniformly melted cheese, just keep in mind the internal dimensions will limit the max pizza size to approximately 11" diameter. Ease of cleaning for me is super important, especially for these all-in-one style units where you might be using it every day. Ninja suggests cleaning using a damp cloth with warm water and just giving the inside of the oven a quick wash which seemed to do the job well. All the pans are dishwasher safe, so for the most part clean up is super easy with maybe some light scrubbing. Like the cooking modes the deep cleaning mode also utilizes steam to breakdown the grime that will end up on the inside of the unit after lots of usage which I thought was very clever.

Difficult to use. Complicated instructions. I don't think the air fryer function is working. I can't figure out how to air fry toast. Sorry I bought it.

Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, and Air Fryer I’ve owned several Ninja products. I rely on the Ninja brand for innovation, functionality, ease of use, cooking performance, versatility, and safety features. This Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker offers all of these qualities and more. The appliance is appealing; it looks and feels sturdy. It has a well-designed layout that makes it easy to use and clean. The Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker combines multiple cooking methods, such as baking, broiling, slow cooking, air frying, sautéing, toast, and more. The control panel is intuitive. The preset cooking options and customizable settings are user-friendly, which makes cooking more enjoyable. The Ninja Multicooker came in a box that included a baking pan, a Combi pan, a crisper pan, a Combi cooking guide, and an instruction booklet. I used this multicooker to cook two full-size chickens. I placed them in the Combi pan and then placed the Combi pan on top of the crisper tray. I followed the baking instructions. The finished chickens were succulent. The skin was super crisp, while the meat underneath remained tender and moist. I also air-fried a dozen chicken wings together with potato fries. The finished chicken wings and fries were crisp, tender, and thoroughly cooked. It was amazing that I could cook two different foods simultaneously. I also used the “Proof” function to help the process of fermentation for the pizza dough. The dough rose evenly and thoroughly. I then used the pizza function to cook the pizza. The pizza was cooked in minutes. It tasted great. The Ninja Combi is large and has a fabulous capacity for cooking full-size meals. It is versatile enough for cooking for two or a family of up to eight. I recommend this Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker to anyone who lives and works in a fast environment. This cooker will save you lots of time when cooking meals that are healthy and taste great.

When first unboxing the Multicooker I was expecting something a little larger. It does have a small counter space footprint, for people with smaller kitchens. However when cooking some things (like pizza) I found that the size was a detriment to the portioning of such options. Others, like chicken and pasta, worked well if you are keeping all eating to one helping. In this case it's good for keeping everyone eating proper portion sizes and not overeating. It is deceivingly larger on the inside and you'll notice this most when using the airfry option. However I would recommend that you not make toast in it (an option it offers), not because it doesn't toast well (it certainly does) but because you need an oven mitt and/or tongs to take the toast out of the tray. It seems a bigger hassle than toast is really worth. My only other gripe with this unit is that the instructions are far too generic for my liking and lead to really ambiguous cook times for many items, and (most noticeably) if you want to cook things that may not exactly fit into the preplanned layout that comes in the quickstart guide. I find myself heading to the internet to find pages that offer options and suggestions from others who've experimented with this more than I have (and probably ruined a good portion of their own meals) in order to find the best temps and times for items not listed. That being said they do offer a decent quantity of preplanned meals to choose from in getting the hang of the multi-cooker and the basics of how it operates. Overall it's not a bad unit. It cooks surprisingly fast and efficiently. Especially if you're in a hurry but have the meal preplanned. Cooking two things at once definitely cuts down on my cooking time and allows me to know that both will be done in unison (so I don't over or undercook one or the other).Size certainly comes into play when determining how many people you're feeding and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone cooking for more than 3-4 adults max. I certainly will be using it often, however I will be scouring the internet as well to search for better options on ingredients that cook well together in this as the option map that they have for it makes it feel much more limiting that I think its potential really is.

Well its been 5 weeks and it doesnt work anymore. Only returnable for 2 weeks. Way to stand behind the products you sell.

Stopped working 4 months later!! Not sure what happened it just stopped working . The toaster doesn’t work anymore either. Very disappointed with this purchase

The Ninja - Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer, Complete Meals in 15 Mins, 14-in-1, Combi Cooker + Air Fry - Stainless Steel is a very versatile and useful kitchen appliance. I have several other Ninja products and the Combi is the same high quality as the others. The Combi is not small, but it will fit on a kitchen counter top. The Combi is simple to unbox and use. In actual use, the air fryer function produced delicious French fries and chicken wings. As advertised, meals were able to be completed in 15 minutes. The Combi cooker and oven allowed great flexibility and tested my creative skills. In summary I highly recommend the Ninja - Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer, Complete Meals in 15 Mins, 14-in-1, Combi Cooker + Air Fry - Stainless Steel to anyone looking for a high quality, versatile kitchen that does not break the bank. It offers convenience, versatility, and the opportunity for creativity as well as quickly producing tasty food and complete meals.

This product is great! It is just the right size to set on a counter in smaller areas. It does so many different things that I don’t heat my kitchen by using my oven. I just use this counter model for everything. Living in Arizona this hot summer, it was important to be able to use a unit like this so I wouldn’t compete with the ac by overheating my kitchen. When our old toaster oven died, we carefully researched what to replace it with. It was definitely worth the time, since we ended up with this countertop oven. We use it daily as a toaster for our bread or bagels, and the controls make it easy to toast perfectly to our preference. It is large enough we can cook casseroles or entrees in it, cook meat perfectly, or air fry enough for a meal. It preheats so fast that I prefer it to my regular oven for cooking almost everything, the only exception being those rare times I have a large tray of food that wouldn't fit in the countertop oven. It fits on my counter under my upper cupboards, and with just a few inches clearance space around it for ventilation, it does not heat the bottom of the cupboard or its contents. The included trays and racks make it very versatile. We use this oven multiple times a day but it has only required minimal cleaning - we empty the removable crumb tray on the bottom and occasionally wipe the inside walls with a damp sponge. Oven was shipped in a sturdy and protective box and packed well. Oven documentation was adequate. Quality is outstanding and can feel the thickness of the stainless, the steal, glass, and rubber seals for the door, the tactile feedback and "button" feels solid, the display is bright and good colors. Warm up to temperature is less than 90 seconds and gives you a cool tone when preheating has reached temperature. This oven has a light, it comes on and goes off automatically. Air fry function really delivers. Things like frozen nuggets, tots, egg rolls, etc come out like they’re freshly deep fried. You’re getting healthier versions of comfort food at home, with little mess. If you’re going to eat something “less healthy,” why not be able to get the most out of the flavors and textures. Again, food cooks so fast, it’s pretty mind boggling. The air fry tray is quite large, so a lot of food can be cooked at once. I use air fry to do a lot of things- even get the excess moisture out of pre-scrambled egg whites. The pizza setting makes frozen pizza taste better than delivery. Again, quickly! We keep frozen cheese pizzas in the freezer for quick dinners. I cut up some veggies and toss them on. 9 minutes later dinner is ready. I consider this oven to save us a lot of money. No more delivery pizza. We get exactly what we want, made how we want, for a fraction of the price. With so many pre-sets and options, I can put a meal in and go about my business without having to check the oven constantly. That means I can clean the kitchen and get things done around the house without being tied to the stove. I’m not saying it’s totally sentient, just that it’s smarter than the really nice conventional oven in my kitchen. It's very user friendly. My family can come over and use this with no prior knowledge of how it works and navigate it easily. Temperatures while cooking are on par with any high-quality oven, consistent and even accessories are good enamel cookware! When you use as directed with the drip tray and roasting tray on the bottom when using the basket to fry in, all messes are virtually non-existent and due to quality in material they are easy to soak up to a few hours for the worst soak in dawn and at end hot water rinse and you're done. This oven is a huge upgrade to what I had and I look forward to seeing what all I can do with it. Definitely recommend.

This was very difficult to use. I cooked ribs in the slow cooker for 7 hours and hey come out raw in the middle. I am sending this unit back.

Things are better together; that goes for most things and most certainly countertop ovens. My last oven felt bulky and flimsy compared to this Ninja Combi multicooker. The rounded corners give it a diminutive look while having only slightly less capacity as my old one. The 14 in 1 functions of this oven make it a great replacement for a traditional oven for those with tiny houses, apartments, boats etc. Though for all it offers, there are some small caveats I will discuss. So, as with any new toaster oven replacement, I see how it toasts. Toast results directly on the combi bake pan on medium were a little dark; on light, they were perfect. I noticed it always starts from 5:30s to toast regardless of what shade or number of slices which means it must vary temp instead. We used it for a good month using the various cooking methods and a couple of recipes in the idea book. We found the idea book to be limiting as it didn't include recipes for all methods, not even a chart for all methods which would have been ideal to limit ambiguity. I discovered early on; it's called hypersteam for a reason as it vents considerable steam from the top right corner, causing my cabinet to be wet from condensation. I had to switch positions with my espresso machine to an area with no cabinets overhead. I've used Combi-steam on soup dumplings, combi crisp on vegetables and chicken thighs, Proof for sourdough, Airfry for potato wedges, Bake for cinnamon rolls and muffins, and roasted a whole chicken; all with excellent results! Granted, every time I used steam, the oven cavity needed to be wiped down, and even then, would still haze the window shortly after. The only thing I really wanted to use combi crisp on was my sourdough bread, though I found no settings for it. Also, I discovered that the bake pan doesn't sit low enough to insert a loaf pan of milk bread; halfway through cooking, I had to stop because the bread was rising dangerously close to the top element. I wish I could've put the loaf pan directly on the bottom pad, would've alleviated the problem, but also prevented the steam. I tried the salmon combi meal recipe only without the brown rice as i decided to use the twice baked potato recipe for the starch. The salmon cooked well with a bit of steam in the start, though the glaze burned a bit. The broccoli didn't come in contact with the steam as it was in the foil and was a bit crispy. But the baked potato was amazing, and I received many compliments. I didn't use the stovetop slow cooker or sous vide function yet, but I plan to at some point. Aside from the excess venting of steam, it would've been nice if the oven came with a removal tool for the pans considering the difficulty to remove them from the tight space. I've had much success with Ninja appliances and this oven is just another jewel in the crown. Keep up the good work.

Ninja doesn't seem to disappoint with their cookware appliances. This cooks great food and the fact that it is an all in one cooker is even better. The airfryer feature is great and works just as great as Ninja's standalone air fryer. The combi cooker is a versatile cooking tool that I've tried with steaks and as simple as vegetables. It's very easy to use. The appliance itself is very nice to look at and it has this stainless steel finish at the front with gray plastic around it. However, it's worth noting that it's just a finish and the actual product is disappointingly made with plastic. This doesn't distract that it is well made. The actual inside itself is made out of stainless and I do not believe quality is skipped out on with this Ninja product. Overall, I think it's a great product especially if you live in a small apartment or a dorm. It's very compact and the food that you can cook with this is next to endless. It comes with all that you need to start cooking so that all you need is just the food itself.

I think it’s safe to say that Air Fryers are a blessing to any kitchen. They are thorough and incredibly efficient in cooking time. However, when we get accustomed to such amenities, we wish that it did more. For me, there were times when I would be preparing a pasta dish inside my previous air fryer but I would have to fire up my electric oven just to bake veggies that went with the dish. When I cook several dishes, I want everything to come out at the same time. It always feels like the majority of the large oven time goes to the preheating. It can be frustrating. That’s where the Ninja Combi Multicooker comes into play to relieve that unneeded complication. Set-Up: Upon removing the packaging from both the outside and inside, you are pretty much ready to embark on efficient cooking. There’s nothing to assemble. The Ninja Combi comes with a Bake Tray, a Combi Pan, and a Crisper Tray. Switch To What You Want: There’s a large switch on the right side of the Ninja Combi that allows you to pick from a Combo Cooker or just an Air Fryer/Stovetop setting. Both are going to free up the amount of time you spend in the kitchen. Whether you’re a novice chef or preparing a recipe that you’ve made a hundred times in the old-fashioned oven, the Ninja Combi is going to help in a big way. You’ll want to use the Combi (combo) setting for dishes that need steaming, proofing for dough, or making pasta or rice. The Combi setting is fantastic for doing pasta and meats at once. For example, I make a particular chicken and pasta dish where the pasta is cooked in the oven while the chicken is in the air fryer. With the Combi, I was able to cook the pasta in the bottom Combi Tray while the chicken was on the above Bake Tray. Both are being done simultaneously! I know that it might not sound like a big deal to some but when you get it, you get it. There are A LOT of options when it comes to using the Combi setting. Too many for me to list for a simple review. That said, you won’t feel overwhelmed since there’s an easy-to-follow chart included in the instructions/recipe book. Before you know it, you’ll be committing the settings to memory. The Combi is also an Air Fryer that uses the Crisp Tray to cook fries, salmon, and whatever else you can think of to air fry. Here’s a bonus feature for someone like myself, it has a PIZZA setting! Yes, I can finally cook a 12-inch frozen pizza inside of an air fryer oven whereas previously, I had to preheat the big oven and bake the pizza in it. The Combi preheats (takes far less time compared to a normal oven) and then it automatically sets a timer and bakes the pizza. I’m not going to lie; I will be using this Combi Oven to bake a quick batch of cookies this winter for those sudden cravings instead of using the giant oven. So Many Possibilities: There’s a quick reference guide in the back of the Inspiration Guide that comes with the Ninja Combi that tells you how long to bake a whole chicken, tenderloins, fish, roast beef, desserts, etc. Once you’re familiar with this cooker, you’re going to impress yourself and the people you’re cooking for.

Review for Ninja Combi™ All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer When I got this new Combi oven from Ninja, I thought it would be great to replace several counter-top appliances that I use less frequently for one that could do all of the same things. It’s really perfect if you like your air-fryer (but don’t use it all the time), or have a toaster oven that you mostly use for weekend brunch, or a slow-cooker that you haul out for weekday stews, or you need to cook for a small crowd frequently — or all of the above! I really like the switch on the top that toggles between the two basic modes. This helps limit the options and makes it easier to use. I tried the tacos recipe for a small gathering last weekend and found it so convenient for cooking while entertaining. I hate spending all my time in the kitchen while my guests are having a good time without me! I made the rice and beans in the lower pan while the upper pan took care of the meat and veggies. Everything came out great, and for a change, everyone gathered in the kitchen to see how the oven worked. It was a great test as well as as a conversation starter. Like many people, I’m trying to be more conscious of the amount of energy I use, and this oven is smaller than my kitchen range’s and yet big enough to manage a good-sized meal for four or more people. I found it very useful for a Sunday brunch when I wanted to make a quiche and bunch of toast. There are a few features, like “proof” and “sauté” that I’m looking forward to trying. I love baking bread, but don’t have a dependable way to let it rise, short of using my oven with the door propped open, so this could be great. Also, I like the idea of being able to sauté meat and then continue cooking my recipe in the oven, without extra dirty pans.

The Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer is a versatile kitchen appliance that has truly revolutionized my cooking experience. With its sleek design and compact footprint, it seamlessly fits into any kitchen, making it a must-have for busy home cooks like me. One of the standout features of this appliance is its multifunctionality. It combines the functionalities of a multicooker, oven, and air fryer all in one, which means it can handle a wide range of cooking tasks. Whether you want to slow cook a hearty stew, bake a batch of cookies, or air fry some crispy chicken wings, the Ninja Combi has got you covered. This versatility is a game-changer in the kitchen, saving both time and countertop space. The cooking performance of this appliance is impressive. The oven function heats up quickly and maintains an even temperature, ensuring that your baked goods come out perfectly golden brown. The multicooker function offers a variety of cooking modes, including sear/sauté, steam, and slow cook, allowing you to prepare a wide array of dishes with ease. And the air fryer function delivers that coveted crispy texture with minimal oil, making healthier versions of your favorite fried foods. The Ninja Combi is incredibly user-friendly. The digital control panel is intuitive, and the preset cooking programs take the guesswork out of meal preparation. Additionally, the included recipe book provides a range of delicious recipes to get you started, making it ideal for beginners and experienced cooks alike. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the non-stick surfaces and removable accessories. The crumb tray, air frying basket, and cooking pot are all dishwasher safe, making post-cooking cleanup hassle-free. One minor drawback is that the Ninja Combi can be a bit noisy, especially when using the air fryer function at higher temperatures. However, the excellent results it delivers make this a minor inconvenience. In conclusion, the Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer is a versatile and efficient kitchen appliance that has elevated my cooking game. Its multifunctionality, reliable performance, and user-friendly design make it a valuable addition to any kitchen. Whether you're a busy parent, a culinary enthusiast, or someone looking to simplify their cooking routine, the Ninja Combi is well worth the investment. It has certainly become a staple in my kitchen, and I can't recommend it enough.

I have several Ninja products in our home and we LOVE the brand. It seems no matter what you purchase from Ninja, two things are always certain, it will be well made and designed for beauty and simplicity. This Ninja Combi is no exception. Ninja is one of those companies that take packing their product to the next level. This came in a box that had some damage to it, and I always fear that the product upon opening it will have damage, but Ninja package this air fryer/combi to w/ stand the roughest shipping in the world. Ninja says that this is a 14-1 cooker, I have only used it to air-fry, bake, and steam, and it does each of those to perfection. I’ve several different air-fryers but this has to be the cream of the crop. It is not to big, in fact its just the right size to sit on our countertop and under the upper cabinets and still have some clearance room. So don’t concern yourself about the size, it’s perfect. As far as the food that you can cook w/ this Ninja Combi, it’s endless. They include a recipe book and I tried a few and they turned out great. The food is cooked throughout and it really holds in the moisture of both pork and chicken. I was afraid it would dry out our thick cut pork chops but it didn’t. I love the “handle” if that’s what you call it that switches it from air fry/bake, etc. to Combi cooked foods. They are amazing. You receive several attachments w/ this Ninja Combi, that makes cooking simple. We have been experiencing some very hot days here in Virginia and my wife did not want to turn on the oven to cook, so we popped it (homemade pizza) into the Ninja Combi, and it was soooo good. The crust was just right and the toppings were cooked to perfection. This will really change how we cook. Our son has gone off to college and my wife and I are empty nesters, and this really, again, changes how we will cook. It’s just the right size for meals for two, but when our son comes home and our oldest w/ his family it will be a great tool to have, especially for quick foods for our grandchildren. We made frozen French fries and they were better than most restaurants out there. The outside were crispy, but the inside were tender. They were perfect. I truly have nothing bad to say about this Ninja Combi 14 in 1 Cooker, its not an air-fryer in the sense you think of air-fryers, this can do so much more. If you are in the market for a great counter top cooker, look no further than the Ninja Combi. I HIGHLY recommend it

The ninja combi oven is great appliance; it’s easy to use, cooks food well, and looks great on my countertop. The oven is built super well and feels high quality. It seems durable as it is made of high quality parts like stainless steel. The stainless steel also makes it super easy to clean. The oven also comes with three inserts: a bake sheet, a deep pan, and a crisper insert for that deep pan. I wish it would have included a wire rack but maybe that will be offered as a future accessory. The material of the pans are not covered in Teflon but they feel like they would be sort of non-stick. The best part is that they are all dishwasher safe which makes cleanup extremely easy. The controls for this unit are simple enough and there are a lot of different settings. The top the oven has a switch that flips between air fryer and oven. Depending on which way the switch is flipped, the machine will cycle through a number of presets. Regardless of what the switch is flipped to, you can set the time and the temperature with dedicated buttons. The key feature of these ovens is the ability to cook two layers of food at the same time: one layer that’s more of a crisper (for something like a chicken breast) and another layer that is more for like steaming, for something like rice or vegetables. The good news is that it performs as an oven and an air fryer equally well. First, I started with frozen chicken fingers. I followed the instructions on the package for an air fryer and it turned out exactly perfect: crunchy on the outside but still juicy on the inside. Next, I tried air frying fresh broccoli. I tossed it in (probably too much) olive oil and salt. I was surprised to see how much steam came out of it but again, they turned out perfectly. There is a pizza setting, so I decided to give it a shot. It was a 12 inch pizza and while it struggled to fit, it ultimately fit on the bake sheet. The top of the pizza came out perfectly. The bottom was cooked, but i think it would have been better if there was a wire rack I could have put it on as it was less crispy than I wanted it to be. I think a personal pizza on the crisper tray would have turned out perfectly. Overall I was impressed with the performance of this unit and it earned its place on my countertop.

The Ninja Combi All-in-One is a multicooker that sits on your countertop. It is much larger than a countertop microwave but should still fit under most cabinetry. Despite being a pretty large appliance it’s not all that heavy and therefore, I plan to keep it on the countertop only when in use. It is made well, and I think it will last many years provided it is kept clean. What works well on this appliance is in its namesake: the “combi” or combination cooking where you take a side such as pasta or rice and add a protein like chicken, beef, or fish. The pasta or rice will go into a pan at the bottom with water and the protein will go on to the tray at the top. You can also add vegetables to either the pan or tray depending on what it is and how you want it to cook. It does an impressive job of steaming rice or making pasta (complete with the sauce) without the need to boil or drain anything. One of my favorite things to make with this method is shrimp stir-fry. It is incredibly convenient to be able to put everything into one appliance and just let it do its thing. However, I did find that even when following the directions in the recipe book you may have to experiment with times and temperatures. I found it was way easier to burn or overcook something in this appliance than a regular oven, likely because it’s much smaller and can heat up much more quickly. When in doubt use a shorter time or check the food periodically until you’ve done that dish a few times and can trust the timer. While I see the benefits and conveniences of the combi cooking functionality, I was less impressed when using a single function such as air frying. This is something I do frequently for my family of four and with the Combi I quickly realized its limitations as just an air fryer. First, you need to add the included “crisper tray” to the pan used for rice. Then add your food on top. When air frying you need a way to turn the food at least once, if not more times, for the best results. With this appliance, you must pull the tray out (with an oven mitt) and then turn each piece individually as the pan is too shallow to shake. I’m used to my air fryer with its large deep basket that allows me to not only do a lot of food but also has a handle that I can grab without an oven mitt and give everything a good shake as frequently as I want. Air frying can certainly be done in the Ninja Combi but with the shallow pan I avoided turning my food, and as a result everything I attempted to air fry came out unevenly cooked. As a bonus I was able to use this machine to proof some pizza dough before baking it and a nice touch is that the light on the machine will turn on in the last minute or so of the cook. Pros Multi-functional Cooking Tool Can Cook Multiple Items Quickly Easy to Clean Includes Recipe Book Oven Light Quiet Food for Up to 4 Cons: Takes a Lot of counterspace Not the Best Air Fryer Overall – It works best when you are truly using it to cook multiple things at once. It can make things simple and convenient. It would also be great for those whose budget or kitchen space is limited. However, if you’re buying it mostly for one function, such as air frying, it may not be the best option.

I was a bit unsure about this unit when i got it. A combi unit it stated and wasn't sure how it would work. But after taking it for a few spins. This is quite the appliance to be honest. I have a full kitchen so this isn't the best for me personally but i can understand the attractions for those that have a mini kitchen/dorm room/apartment. Possibly even the work break room! Let start out with the 2 modes - air fryer and then Combi. You make the selection via a big switch on the top. I really like air fry and this was the attraction initially. It works well, does what you want. And you ahve the ability to adjust the cook temperatures and times. I usually adjust the time and wait for it to be done but I had to let this one preheat. Worked as expected - cooked a few items and all was well. Lets talk about the combo oven part - this was a bit intriguing to be honest. You could possible feed a family of four out of this but i thought it was on the small side for my family serving sizes. Although for 2 its a perfect size. We did some chicken and vegetables. It turned out quite nice, easy to setup and clean. Even did some baking in there for cinnamon roles and they were delicious. Replace your oven and airfryer into one appliance and save some room and add some other functions to your cooking. Nice and well made!

This Ninja Combi All-in-One Multi-Cooker, Oven, and Air Fryer is a game-changer. If you do not have an air fryer, or if you need an upgrade, this is the one to get. It has a larger capacity than my previous air fryers, and the see-through door lets you visually check the cooking progress. It includes a bake tray, a combi pan, and a crisper tray to handle almost anything you would want to cook. The control panel is very intuitive with simple settings for the most common uses. The Smart Switch on the top of the unit allows you to quickly change the mode to what you need. There is an included quick-start sheet to help you get going right out of the box to make a Combi meal in less than 30 minutes, even for a very unaccomplished cook like myself. There is an included inspiration guide that has a ton of recipes in it ranging from complete meals to veggies to dough to cakes to pasta to sauté to sous vide to pizza to much more. The capacity allows for up to 6 servings prepared at once depending on what you are cooking. If you are pressed for time and ideas for meals at home, get this unit. You will love it and wonder why you did not do it sooner.

Air fryer is bad quality functionality problems and material wise poor quality
