    Very bad design. Grease got on top of the inside of the machine and next time I used it, it created a lot of smoke because it burned all the grease. Very difficult to clean and take apart.

    So far I'm glad I kept my 9-in-one ninja foodi.. The steam release vent is iffy, and I'm still trying to "steam bake" without the bottom of my cornbread burning, (which is never a problem in the oven!) since it uses less power.. I want to love it, but even at the sale price, I'm not sure this was worth it for me. I haven't given up yet.

    This pressure cooker sucks. No wonder why it went on massive sale. It’s clumsy. Very cumbersome to use. The lid opens on the side and take too much space. Will be returning this item.

    Extremely Versatile beast combination appliance

    Ninja pressure cookers and air fryer lids are known for their versatility and ease of use. This version builds on their previous devices by combining the lids into one, so that you no longer need to store and swap for switching from pressure cooking to air frying. This is a well-made beast of a unit. I like to prescribe to the Alton Brown school of thought that devices that are given dedicated counter space need to have more than one function, or they do not belong there. This 8qt pressure cooker/air fryer fits that bill. Partially because it's so large and heavy you won't want to put it anywhere else... but also it will simplify the cooking tasks for many busy families. The included baskets and accessories cover the gamut of all the cooking/frying/baking/pressure cooking scenarios you could imagine. The ability to toss them into the dishwasher is also a nod to busy families and the versatility of this appliance. The size of the unit does pay dividends in being able to prepare enough food for an entire family of 5 at once, which I appreciate. It feels well made like most Ninja kitchen appliances and I'm hoping this one lasts for quite some time. My only reasoning for dinging it from 5 stars to 4 is the sheer size and weight making it difficult to store, but man if you're air frying and pressure cooking for a crew, it's all worth it.

    Good concept but hard to clean

    I've want to really like this Ninja Foodi where it has everything in one lid which makes it super convenient but is honestly a pain to clean the inside of the lid after pressure cooking or after air frying certain foods. I can say that on a positive note the appliance works great and does what it says where you can air fry, pressure cook, slow cook, sear/sauté and more with it. The controls are super easy to use and make it easy to program so you can just set it and go. With the programming it certainly does some unique things with the steam/crisp and cook while crisping which is not something you can do with other machines and saves time by eliminating additional cook time/steps. For that, I would definitely say this machine excels in all of those areas and would be one I'd recommend for that reason only. The non-stick pan and rack is very easy to clean but the lid with the seal is a entirely different story because it's integrated and not removeable! In addition, there is a grill that I can't see how you can move/remove to clean the top thoroughly. Because of that and having used it for some time I can say that really prefer my old Foodi over this one because it was a bunch easier to clean so any time you saved cooking you'll lose in trying to clean it up (depending on what you cooked in it of course). In terms of how this machine looks and sits, it's HUGE and takes up a lot of space on my counter and because it sits high you have to watch where the steam releases as on my counter it shoots right up to the under cabinet lighting. I'd recommend it for it's unique time saving/cooking modes, but I don't recommend it you are looking for something that's always a cinch to clean or if you have low cabinets you may not be able to fit it under them on your countertop.

    Good step towards healthier eating

    So I'm not the greatest when it comes to cooking so I'm always intrigued by anything that will help me out in the cooking department. I have your normal kitchen appliances however they're either for cooking fried food or freeze dried food. I was quite surprised at how versatile this machine is. You can cook, bake, crisp, steam, sous vide (not sure what this is) and other methods as well. I figured the easiest thing to try out first was chicken, right? I mean, how bad can you screw up chicken? I found a recipe online and gave it a shot. Initially, it took me a bit to get used to all the buttons, settings and what not since I've never had something like this before. One thing you'll need to pay attention to is the sliding mechanism on the lid. Unlike other sliders, this thing isn't meant to lock the lid down as you would normally expect it to. There are three positions on the slider so you'll need to pay attention to what it's set to prior to cooking. After finally selecting, what I thought, was the right settings, I turned on the machine and let it rip. Now, normally when I cook chicken, it's always burnt and almost like eating cardboard. The cooking this machine did actually made the chicken pretty soft and tasty. So the first run turned out well and I made some decent tasting chicken pasta. With numerous other methods of cooking with this machine, looks like I'll be busy trying out new recipes in the future. The machine itself is sorta big aat around 15" tall and 15" wide. It will take up some counterspace if you live in a smaller place like I do. That said, it'll probably be the only kitchen you'll need (aside from a microwave and toaster) in your kitchen. Fortunately, it comes with a mini cookbook to help you get started on your cooking adventures. Like other people during this pandenmic, I relied A LOT on fast food/delivery and really am looking to make a healthier change in my eating habits. While this machine may not be the solution, I think it will definitely help me getting to eat healither and more frugaly in the future.

    This is useless product for a family. Very heavy and difficult to use. At least you should have 10 members to utilize this product.
