Life changer for me

This thing is a life changer for me.
Pros:
Excellent pressure cooker with fairly large pot.
Sear/sauté function is convenient for one pot cooking.
Adequate air frier for smaller batches.
Frees up stove burners for big holiday meal preparation.
Easy to use with a slight learning curve.
Cons:
Huge, heavy and not something I want left out on my counter.
Lots of storage space needed for all baskets, racks, pressure lid. A whole shelf in my 18” wide x 24” deep pantry is dedicated for this.
Tall! When pressure cooking, the air fryer crisper lid doesn’t come off and is in full open position (90 degrees up) so it will not fit under cabinets while pressure cooking.
Review:
I went months before I even tried the pressure cooker function, but now that’s all I use it for. The air frier does a decent job of tater tots and frozen French fries but without a large surface area where they can lay flat it left some crispy and some kinda soggy so it’s better for small batches. Did a fantastic job of reheating chicken tenders or chicken strips though. But it is a massive and heavy machine to lug in and out of the pantry for that, so I ended up just buying a Ninja® DT201 Foodi™ 10-in-1 XL Pro Air Fry Oven to replaced my toaster oven and it’s fantastic at air frying.
I never knew you could do so much with a pressure cooker. Home made tamales, mashed potatoes, adobo, cook noodles (less effective, lots of stuck together noodles), It can sear your meat for beef stew, etc. (although I prefer just using the stove for that because it’s easier in a pan than a deep pot), make soups including sauté onions, garlic, carrots, celery etc. for your soup base. And my favorite of all, hard boil up to 30 eggs!
I eat 5+ hard boiled egg whites a day and this made boiling eggs so much easier. We also home make our dogs food and I can’t imagine it being possible without a pressure cooker. Just put the meat, veggies and beans in it, put the pressure lid on it, set it for 25 minutes and walk away.
It can sear your meat for beef stew, adobo, etc. although I prefer just using the stove for that because it’s easier in a pan than a deep pot.
The only real negative I can think of is the sheer size and weight of this thing. It’s heavy and large, and when pressure cooking, the air fryer crisper lid doesn’t come off and is in full open position (90 degrees up) so it will not fit under your upper cabinets while pressure cooking. Not a huge deal breaker because it still fits on the counter just closer to the front but if you’ve got limited counter space and wanted something you could shove to the back so you could do other prep work, it might be best to buy a dedicated pressure cooker.
All in all, I love this thing. It’s made it possible for us to make really healthy and nutrient dense home made dog food as well as made my life so much easier by multiple levels.

I have two of these 8qt cookers, at two different living locations, and love them. I am buying this one for a family member for Christmas.
These are very handy for doing things quickly, no need to warm up an oven and then wait to get something cooked, just pop it in and it starts cooking. Having two young kids allows me more time to coach hockey and shuttle kids around, definately a benefit in this dad's schedule.
I have noticed that it is a bit of a challenge to select temps and times as things seem to cook a bit quicker with this, which isn't a bad thing. It does take time to experiment and get the process down.

I have always been a fan of pressure cookers. The Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 cooker has completed my wants in cooking. A whole roaster chicken in 45 mins. The cost savings in electric use is a plus.
Slower cooker with large enough capacity to handle the troops. It replaces other cooking devices that take up a lot of room. The air-fryer gives a heathy alterative to frying some foods. I won't replace a deep fryer, I have not tried the dehydrator mode yet. I am going to give it a shot soon. It may replace my electric air dehydrator. Who knows. We will see how it stands up to time as I use it almost everyday

My son needed a new blender, and in my quest for one I stumbled upon a great sale price on this ninfty Ninja Foodi 8qt 9-in-1 SOI said what the heck and ordered one for myself.
My first application was to do bananas with the dehydrate setting. Delicious.
Second was taking a brisket and using the pressure cooker setting, then finishing it off with some BBQ sauce and the air crisp setting....yum. we went from a raw hunk of brisket to fall apart, melt in your mouth delicious essay in two hours. TWO HOURS!!!!
I've done short ribs, briskets, roasts, chicken wings, oxtail stew.......
I'm really happy with this purchase.
