Customer Ratings & Reviews

Already had the 6qt and thought this would be a great addition plus Black Friday deals made it a no-brainer. I use one or the other weekly.

I absolutely LOVE the Ninja Foodie! Prior to getting it I owned both an air fryer and a pressure cooker. Both items together were large and took up vast amounts of space. Both had their separate functions which meant that if I wanted to use them both, I had to clean them both. In came the Ninja Foodie, which changed my entire kitchen dynamic! Not only is this thing an air fryer, but it is also a pressure cooker. One tool, many uses! First of all, where I used to have two different kitchen tools, now only one sits in their place. The Ninja Foodie is pretty large, but not as large as two separate appliances. The overall build feels nice and sturdy, as it appears to be made of premium materials. The first time I used it I tried the "air crisp" function, which is basically the air fryer lid. This specific lid is permanently attached to the unit and folds open on a hinge. I followed the recommendations for cooking that came in the book included with the Ninja Foodie. My food was delicious, healthy, and cooked perfectly. The foodie is even MORE quiet than my old air fryer! Next, I tried a combination of both the pressure cooker and the air fryer. I put completely frozen chicken wings in it and used the pressure cooker lid. Once the foodie built up pressure it took 5 minutes and the wings were completely thawed. After I relieved the pressure, I removed the pressure cooker lid, seasoned the wings, and then folded down the air fryer lid. 15 minutes later I had crispy, delicious, fully cooked chicken wings. They were great! I was very impressed. The foodie comes with a fry basket and a two tier rack. You can cook an entire meal at once, placing meat, veggies, and other items in the foodie all together. I really like the recipe/instruction book that comes with it. It specifically names different foods and how to cook them with your Ninja Foodie. This is more than I can say about my old pressure cooker, because I felt like I was on an island by myself due to the lack of instructions with my old pressure cooker. The Ninja foodie is easy to clean, as the fryer basket is non stick. If you were on the fence about buying either a pressure cooker or an air fryer, get the Ninja Foodie! You get the best of both worlds all in one easy to use package! You won't regret it!

I gave this as a Christmas/ housewarming gift and she loves it! Absolutely loves it. Highly recommend.

Love this thing made ribs, steaks, burgers, fries all types of stuff.

Love my ninja use for everything. I own 4 ninja products.

A couple of weeks ago, my family decided to start looking after our health better than we had been. This journey of a thousand steps started with evaluating our food choices. Once we determined that we needed to eat primarily at home instead of going out so much, we started using our crockpot more. A couple of times my fiancé forgot to get it going and at the last minute, she had to run to the store for food that wasn’t frozen. Enter this amazing device. Since it can cook food much quicker than a conventional crockpot and because it serves so many different purposes, I instantly fell in love with it. The Foodi Deluxe is actually 9 kitchen appliances in one and it makes for a very nice option to cook with on a regular basis. Getting started with it is very, very easy. For starters, Ninja includes a quick start guide that has a ‘cheat sheet’ of sorts included for those (like me) who haven’t ever used a pressure cooker. There is a trial run of sorts that you can run where you simply run some water through a short pressure cycle. That way you get the hang of the process of using the pressure cooker. I found this invaluable because it taught me two things. First, you learn how the steam is supposed to escape at the end of the pressure cooking cycle and second, I found out our dog is terrified of that sound. Space is at a premium in our kitchen. So, I absolutely love that the Foodi Deluxe gives us an opportunity to box up the other devices that are taking up valuable counter space and only use the Foodi for our cooking needs. The first real meal I cooked with this was BBQ chicken. This is an entree that we typically make in a slow cooker. With the slow cooker, we place 3-4 frozen chicken breasts into the slow cooker with a bottle of BBQ sauce and let it cook for around 6 hours. The chicken comes out moist and can easily be shredded, but it takes forethought to remember first thing in the morning that has to be placed into the slow cooker. When the Foodi Deluxe was unwrapped, one night after my fiancé got home from work (around 4:30 in the afternoon), we did the same process for the BBQ chicken, but we used the Foodi pressure cooker option instead of the slow cooker. The chicken was done in 30 minutes and it actually tasted better than when we make it in the slow cooker. I’ve been a fan of Ninja blenders for a long time, but the new Ninja appliances that are being released are really beyond compare. The technology behind them is amazing and I’m incredibly happy that I can eliminate so many large items from our kitchen counters now.

The Ninja Foodi is highly versatile and can cook delicious food in a fraction of the time it would take in a conventional oven or fryer. Nine different functions mean that you can use this product in some capacity with probably every meal. Crispy chicken wings take around 20 minutes and come out tasting great. That said, it’s not the kind of thing you can just plop the wings into and leave it. You need to tend to the wings during that time, pressurizing, depressurizing, etc. Still, using the Foodi is a huge overall time saver. The Foodi is fairly complicated to use. But on the bright side, the included instructions are clear and easy to follow. Still, it can be a little overwhelming for a novice. The Foodi comes with a lot of pieces right out of the box, including a pretty big recipe booklet. Unfortunately, some of those recipes require you to purchase additional accessories because they aren’t included in the box which for me was a bit of a downer. The Foodi washes pretty easily, which is an important part of the time/effort value that it brings to the table. One negative is that the Foodi is big and heavy, and you can’t store all of its parts inside it, so it takes up a lot of storage/counter space. Also, the Foodi says that at this size, it can cook for up to ten people. That seems a bit overstated to me. I feel like it is pretty full when cooking for four people. Although you could cook in several batches and still finish before using a regular oven (but then you have to worry about keeping the first batch warm). While I’m on the subject of keeping the food warm after cooking, the Foodi has a nice warmer function that keeps the food warm without drying it out too much. Overall I’d say that the Foodi is a nice addition to any kitchen. Is it a necessity? No. But it is convenient when you need to cook something fast. Just be sure you have the space to store it.

Love my new addition to the kitchen!! Bought an Instant pot last year and returned it unopened a few months later because I had no idea what to do with it and was intimidated. Welcome home Ninja Foodi Deluxe – glad to have you! This is one heavy cooker but so worth it to have so many options within one pot. It was also packaged really well, and many accessories included. It comes with an owner’s guide, a small cookbook, little heat resistance gloves, 2 racks, 2 lids, and 2 pots. Now where to start with this… Read the owner’s guide (yep I did) and found that I don’t have a “red” float valve on my lid – went crazy looking for this “red” valve that is mentioned in a few steps - whatever.... Tried the water test to practice using the pressure cooker part – have never used one so I thought I better practice! Ok, moved on to what to cook in my new friend… looked thru the small cook book for some easy (beginner) ideas. Decided on chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. Used about 1.5lbs of frozen chicken breasts that I cut so they would fit nicely in the crisper basket, seasoned them, added water for pressure cooker part and cooked for about 10 mins. Turned them over and seasoned other side, emptied most of the water and moved on to air crisp. Cooked at 390 for 10 mins, checked after 5 and flipped and continued cooking. Smelled amazing but a little dry (note: lessen the cook time here). Tasted great though – see pictures! Cleaned out the pot and steamed broccoli about 3 cups for 10 mins – that too turned out great! Meal 1 down and approved by hubby. Next meal – should have thought about it longer…. Burgers and potato wedges (page 25 of cookbook) Did the burgers first thinking they would reheat easily while I cooked the wedges…. Well it messed up the cooking of the potatoes and I received an error message when pressure cooking them for 3 minutes, it needed more water. (NOTE: do potatoes first) I’m thinking that the machine was still too hot from cooking the burgers (that came out awesome) first. So added more water, pressured for 3 minutes and they were really soft – probably good for mashing! I dumped them out into a bowl and seasoned them per recipe and put back into crisping bowl and cooked for 16 minutes – checking after 9 and shaking. Dumped into bowl with more seasoning and they actually turned out good. Lessons to be learned as I go LOL So, my opinion of this big bertha pressure cooker pot – absolutely a thumbs up!! I have more to learn and experiment with but am up to the task and looking forward to using the racks for layered meal cooking. Also am looking at more cookbooks and YouTube ideas and tips.

This is the worst pressure cooker I think you can ever invest any money into. I purchased two of them less than 30 days apart. The first one was damaged when I opened the box. The second one, I used one time and the main compartment discolored after one hour and thirty minutes of sautéing. I contacted their customer service department, and after four days of no help, I finally spoked to Richard from customer service and they said they were not going to do anything about the issue. As a result, I’m going to return it to the store and get something else.

We have tried lots of small kitchen appliances over the years and I have to say that none has become such an essential part of our kitchen as the Ninja Foodi. It is the one appliance that can do so much, it's a pressure cooker, air fryer and dehydrator all in one. We have two boys that are quite particular about food, they loved chicken wings that we made in the Ninja Foodi and our daugher cannot get enough of the apple chips we made by dehydrating slides of apple. The cookbook that comes with the Ninja Foodi has lots of recipes to inspire you and there are also two books available in your local bookstore and online that provide more recipes specifically for the Ninja Foodi. We're definitely excited to try more and would encourage you to add this essential tool to your kitchen too!

The foodi is amazing. I have dehydrated bananas, apples, and jerky. I have cooked salmon and chicken wings with it flakey in inside and crisp on outside. You need to review instructions carefully to make sure always on right setting and right lid. Does take a few minutes to heat up to operating temperature and is very bulky, heavy, and runs with a full noise. Great all in one option.

Ive been wanting to get my hands on one of these air fryers for a while now. Finally had the opportunity and glad I did. The pressure cooker works like a dream, so much so a man can easily use this. Simply toss 3 lbs of frozen chicken wings in the basket, add a 1/2 cup water, put on the pressure cooker lid, set it and forget it. I was surprised to air fry 3lb of wings only 2 tblsppons of oil is used. Plus the combo works great, with hardly any mess compared to a conventional fryer Ive used at home in the past. Even my wife commented how nice this new Ninja combo is. Cant wait to dehydrate some meat to make homade jerky with this. My only complaint is I wish the air fryer lid detached when using the pressure cooker.

I’ve always resisted purchasing what I consider to be fad products, such as rotisserie cookers, air fryers, or anything that has a 30 min ad on tv. From what I have observed with friends and family, they take up a lot of precious counter space and get used a few times and then end up in a garage, attic or taking up precious cabinet space. The only things I’ve owned that I put to good use were a crock pot and a George Foreman grill, both relics of my batchelor past. This year my wife asked for a Ninja Foodi and I was skeptical to say the least. All of her girlfriends own one and they keep singing it’s praises. I did some research on several sites and we decided to take the plunge. Turns out this thing is pretty cool. Pros: Air fryer, pressure cooker, rice cooker, crock pot, and basically everything other than traditional oven/stove combo. It's incredibly fast and is easy to understand how it works. I was concerned I would need to go to a class to figure out how to use this thing. Feels very sturdy and well made. Time will tell but feels very solid. Very easy to clean. The main pot has a non stick surface. Cons: Large footprint, which eats up a chunk of counter space. It also has a bit of weight to it. Not a problem for us but may be an issue for a elderly person. We haven’t had the chance to put it through all of its paces yet, but so far it’s lived up to the billing. I will update our review as we use it more and more.

If you are contemplating purchasing the Ninja Foodi, think no more about it and buy it!!! Wow, I have never been so impressed with a kitchen appliance. So far I've cooked burgers, hot links, chicken, tots, onion rings and vegie Tots. All of it came out spectacular. Easy to use, easy to clean and fairly fast. Burgers, chicken and hot links tasted like they came off the grill and the other stuff was crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside and I cooked a lot of it together, like burgers and tots. Burger was juicy and Tots were crispy, cooked at the same time, amazing. The Ninja Foodi has became our go to cooking method and I can't wait to try other foods. So many good videos online for different ways of using this thing. It is heavy so you want it on the counter and it does take a chunk of real estate from your counter but it's worth it. We love it and you will too!!!

bought this from a recommendation and glad we purchased this. Product is amazing. Used a few times, the pressure cooker and air fryer, and the food has been quick, easy and flavorful. Time saver for sure! Just know that this is a pretty heavy item. Not a lightweight appliance.

Love, love, love. I have had other Instapots that I use quite frequently but this one is the Cadillac version. The added fryer option makes it even easier to use. I don't even put this one away, I just leave it on the counter I use it so much. It is pretty self explanatory on the use. The only thing that I think could be better is the fryer lid. It doesn't come off. Not a problem, but it makes the unit heavier and its not as easy to clean. The convenience of it though makes it worth the expense. If you are looking to get an Instapot get this one and have everything at hand in one unit. I don’t even get my old air fryer out anymore. I highly recommend this unit.

I can't live without this cooker. It has made my life so much easier. I cook rice, veggies and chicken at the same time and I don't have to stand near the oven. It makes the most delicious veggies. The main thing for me is that it does everything. I wanted to buy a rice cooker and a pressure cooker, but now I have all in one. When I use the deluxe rack and cook chicken on top of rice, the rice turns out sooo delicious. Couldn't recommend this enough.

I bought this for myself for Christmas on the recommendation of a friend who received it as a present. It is much bigger than I really need but hoping we will all go back to normal soon and we can start entertaining again! I made the chicken wings from the recipe book and they are better than my favorite chicken wing restaurant and much healthier. I also made a jambalaya that came out good and very easy clean up for both. My only comment would be it is heavy! I haven't even started exploring all of the features.

I'm not big on kitchen appliances, but there are three you would have to pry out of my cold, dead hands before I would give them up: 1. my drip coffeemaker; 2. my food processor; 3. this thing. It is nothing short of amazing. I've never owned a pressure cooker before. It is amazing what a timesaver that is. But it also broils steaks perfectly, and makes a mean mac & cheese without getting any pots dirty. I love that the insert is dishwasher safe.

Is great products, love it, work very good, the function is great very easy !!!
