I have personally found that every single type of food I have cooked in this air fryer has come out perfectly.

The results have consistently met my expectations, with each dish pulled from the appliance looking golden brown and delightfully crispy. Another thing I love about the Ninja Prestige air fryer is the fact that it preheats very quickly. This has been an issue with every other countertop air fryer / oven I have had in the past.

The Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer and Countertop Oven is an impressive appliance for any size kitchen. It has so many functions and features that we have greatly reduced our reliance on our full-size oven. The large capacity, the four multiple rack levels, and the ten different cooking functions provide so much flexibility that I can't think of anything that we would not be able to cook for our household. In the short time we have used this oven, we have used it for pizza, toast, bagels, meatloaf, appetizers, and reheating leftovers. The included Prestige Smart Thermometer provides internal temperature monitoring for meats to prevent undercooking. I'm looking forward to making some jerky with the dehydrate function. The clear function display and the buttons make this oven very easy to use, which is rare for an appliance with many different cooking features. While the included manual clearly explains how to use the oven, I didn't need to reference it. We use this oven in our house kitchen, but this would be the perfect appliance to add to a motorhome or a small kitchen. We are very happy with the Ninja Prestige Countertop Oven and highly recommend it. Once again, Ninja is proving to be a significant name for quality kitchen appliances and cooking utensils. Features • Smart Surround Convection cooking for reaching all areas. • Prestige Smart Thermometer and Automatic Temp Detect Intelligence. • Four tray levels and two levels of simultaneous cooking. • Ten cooking functions: ○ Air Fry, Whole Roast, Air Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Pizza, Broil, Toast, Bagel, and Reheat. • Family-sized capacity of 2.67 cubic feet • Quick cooking with a 90-second preheat time and faster than a full-size oven. • Healthier cooking via air frying and less fat. • Two wire racks. • Two sheet pans, • Roasting tray. • Removable crumb tray. • Air fry basket. • One-year warranty. • Recipe book and Owner's Guide.

This Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer & Countertop Oven with Pro Cook System has a prestige design and elegantly fits on my kitchen counter top that adds to the overall decor and doesn't look out of place. Well, the overall performance is great and comes with built-in up to 10 times more convection power than the standard ovens. This is clearly noticeable in the items that we have prepared using this. This has many features but the best one is the smart surround convection that completely surrounds the food to get an all round crisp item and more importantly without needing to rotate or flip the items in it which for me is great as it removes the risk of burning the hands while doing so. The Smart Surround Convection™ makes sure the food gets crispy all around by cooking it evenly. With its impressive size, it has two levels available for cooking and each level evenly cooks the meal without needing any movement. And to add to this feature, this has only 90-second quick preheat time which makes this ready to be used almost immediately and reduce the cooking time significantly. With AI being integrated to each aspect of our live, this also has Pro Cook System that monitors the internal doneness of the food so now I never undercook or overcook my food. Whenever I am not sure on the timing then it's built-in 10 cooking programs help me to pick an option for e.g. Air Fry, Whole Roast, Air Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Pizza, Broil, Toast, Bagel, or Reheat. For me, it's perfect for all of my kitchen needs and I made cheese sticks in the fryer and they came out very good, everyone in my family loved it . Overall a great all-in-one oven for my kitchen countertop and I am really looking forward to try other recipes using this.

I'm not too competent when it comes to the kitchen so anything that'll help me cook food more easily/quicker, is a nice bonus for me. This thing checks off a lot of things (cooking wise) that you need but with a much smaller footprint. I have a nice microwave as well as another air fryer but this thing is on another level. It's a microwave on steroids or a mini oven whichever way you look at it. It's capable of so many things that I haven't even begun to try them all out. it'll cook/bake/air fry and even dehydrate food, all in one unit. Pretty much anything you need to cook, you can cook it in here and it's relatively small so it'll fit anywhere in your kitchen. If needed, it's sorta portable too so you could take it to your family gathering for cookouts and such. I've only tried baking some pizzas/wings in mine but it worked great for that. This includes a couple different trays depending on the food you're cooking, so you won't need to worry about bringing the right pan/tray or anything. With my older air fryer, I liked to cook wings in there but since it was circular, only a few would fit in it at any given time. With the trays in this fryer, I can add more and spread them out evenly for that perfect cook. Pizzas came out quite nice as well. The controls are all on the handle of the door which makes for easy adjustment to time/temp cooking as well as using any of the preset settings enabled for this oven. Clean up on this is fairly easy since the bottom liner is removable. The different trays are also easy to clean as well. I'm REALLY interested in trying to cook a whole chicken so that's the next thing to-do with this oven. Overall, really impressed how well this thing cooks, how versatile it is and its relatively small size which makes it great for an apartment or smaller kitchen.

I have had a convection toaster oven for the past five plus years, and I swear by it. I have told everyone I know to toss their old basket air fryers and embrace the toaster oven air fryer form factor. Switching to a new toaster oven air fryer was a daunting task because my old standby worked perfectly. But it was getting a little ragged, so I gave the new Ninja Smart XL a try. The first thing I noticed was the shape. This is a more cubic countertop stove, as it is taller and narrower on the outside than most toaster ovens. It still fits nicely under a cabinet, and the space inside is actually bigger. The build is sturdy, especially the handle. Since all the controls are housed inside that handle, it’s a good thing it’s not flimsy. There are two racks, an air fry basket, a roasting tray, and two pans included. (The instructions advise to use that roasting pan whenever one of the convection functions is selected, so keep that handy to prevent spatters!) The controls on the handle are completely intuitive. Match up your mode with your time and temp and press start. The 90 second preheat is accurate. The automatic light is a nice touch. It comes on whenever the door is opened and one minute prior to the end of the timer. Having two spacious shelves is a welcome addition to a countertop oven as well. I can make salmon and sides all in one space without heating up the big oven. One huge con to this unit is the lack of ability to add convection to modes that don’t already use it. For example, I’d like to be able to add convection to the Reheat mode for things like baked chicken or fried pork chops because I like them crispy. This oven does not allow for that, so I use one of the other modes and have to adjust the temps/times. My oldie but goodie had me spoiled with on demand convection. Ninja should consider adding that feature because the convection is powerful and has different fan speeds depending on the mode as well. That is also NOT adjustable. The other drawback is the noise level. This thing sounds like a jet engine in any convection mode, and the highest fan speed will drown out conversation or whatever you’re trying to watch on TV in an open floor plan. I did some reading and it seems this is a common complaint. It’s not enough to take away a recommendation, but be aware this is not a quiet appliance. This oven cooks GREAT! Definitely replaces any basket fryer and the standard oven in many cases. But it takes some time and a few good trial runs to determine which mode/convection/fan speed pre-determined combination works best for what tasks. What Ninja deems best for “bake” may not be what you expect. If you are willing to putz a little, you’ll end up with an excellent convection toaster oven with a ton of room inside and yummy results.

This is my first non-blender small appliance from Ninja, but I’ve had great experiences with their other kitchenware, so I was excited to try this new countertop oven as ours had recently stopped working. This is by far the largest convection/toaster oven we’ve owned, with a chunky footprint of 17” wide, 13.25” tall, and 19” depth; it weighs over 30 lbs and the handle of the door when open clears the edge of the countertop. Included are two enameled sheet pans that measure 13.5”W x 11.5”L, a roasting rack insert that’ll fit either tray, mesh air fryer basket, 2 slide-in racks, crumb/drip tray, and temperature probe on a magnetic holster. The exterior has a beautiful stainless steel finish with the controls and LED display innovatively built into the face of the handle. The interior capacity is 2.67 cubic feet and roomy enough for bakeware like my 12” pizza tray, 5 Qt Dutch oven, and vintage 8-piece cupcake tray. There are ten modes that you can cycle through using the function +/- keys: whole roast, air roast, air fry, pizza, bake, dehydrate, broil, toast, bagel, and reheat. When the oven door is opened, the interior light automatically turns on and turns off again when the door is closed. Each mode has its own settings that persist in subsequent uses, so if I bake a batch of cookies at 350°F for 25 minutes, the next time I select that mode those will be the settings that appear. The different modes also have different time and temperature ranges they can be set to, for example, broil can be set to Hi or Lo for a maximum of 30 minutes while dehydrate can be set from 85-200°F up to 24 hours. The max temperature in roast, bake, pizza, reheat, and air fry modes is 450°F, and the timer can be set from 1 minute up to 4 hours. The display will change to slices (1-9) and shade (1-7) for toast and bagel modes. The appliance is not internet connected, and there is no smartphone app component. The feature that makes this appliance “smart” is the integrated temperature probe with built-in presets for your preferred doneness of various proteins like beef, pork, chicken, and fish. Beef mode can also be used for cooking lamb. The doneness settings are based on temperature, for example, 120°F for rare beef/lamb, 120°F medium rare fish, 150°F medium well pork, and 165°F for well done chicken. The probe, which plugs into the underside of the handle, can be used for broil, bake, air fry, and either of the roast modes. If you prefer to manually set your target temperature, you can do that as well and choose from 100 to 200°F in 5° increments. There are 4 labeled rack positions in the machine and each mode will indicate the optimal position on the display. Pressing the 2-level button will display 2 suggested rack positions for multi-level cooking. These recommendations are also printed in the full-color user guide that has a handful of tasty looking recipes. Two-level cooking is available in all modes except broil, toast, bagel, and reheat. When cooking with two levels, the upper rack is nearly always the air fry basket in order to promote airflow while the roast tray or sheet pan should be used on the lower rack to catch drippings. Using the roast tray can also help minimize smoking with greasy or oily foods and marinades. I used the probe to roast a whole 5 lb chicken packed in a salt shell, and it took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. The chicken came out juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender, and when I used my instant read thermometer, I saw that it had faithfully reached its target temperature. I didn’t have to flip or rotate it either because there weren’t any hot zones or uneven cooking thanks to the powerful fan circulating the hot air around the food at all times. Pizza and roasted vegetables also came out great in their respective modes, and the air fry feature produced crispy, crunchy results with frozen fried foods like French fries and popcorn shrimp. I wouldn’t say that the device cooks significantly faster than normal, though perhaps I’ve simply become accustomed to cooking in convection ovens versus a traditional oven. Preheating happens super quickly in about 90 seconds, so I usually place the food in the oven before pressing start, since the countdown starts right away after the unit is done preheating. Just be careful to put glass bakeware in after preheating as it may experience thermal shock with such a fast warm up time. Note that the fan is pretty loud and sounds like a plane taking off; you may also hear internal vibrations and rattling from the machine during use. If using the probe, you won't know how long you have left as there is no countdown timer, however, you can see the current and target temperature of the probe and once the probe reaches the target, the unit shuts off, beeps several times, and flashes “Cook End” on the display. If you don't take your food out promptly, it will beep again every several minutes until you do. Overall, this countertop convection oven air fryer does a great job cooking a variety of foods efficiently and evenly. It has a lot of space inside and can fit large roasts, whole chickens, and two 12” pizzas at once. I love the integrated temperature probe with preset doneness selections that take the guesswork out of cooking meats. This feature mostly caters to folks that cook a lot of animal protein, but can be used for other foods via manual settings. All parts are easily removed for cleaning, though I find that keeping the interior clean requires wiping it down thoroughly after each use to prevent burned on build up. The controls and display on the handle are a clever space saver and though the text is tiny, the LED backlighting makes the settings easy to read, even in the dark.

This is the king of the jungle when it comes to countertop cooking devices. If your in the market for one of these you know that the Ninja name precedes itself with already being what you look at first and being a prior Ninja owner of all sorts, this one improves on absolutely everything possible! Some stand out features you should know about are, this is LARGE inside and has two heating zones that you can fully control even without being a split compartment system and yes, it actually works really good. Ive cooked two different pizzas at once (one thick one thin and both came out perfect). Ive also done a trey of French fries up top and air fry basket of chicken tenders on the bottom for my kids and they both come out perfectly in less than half the time of my normal oven without any of that hassle or gas smell. The controls are well laid out on the handle itself with clear markings and everything lights up without even looking like a screen when off. Setting the temp and time along with mode and everything is extremely easy and it even tells you what rack to cook on the screen itself for best results. If you dont know which one the included book goes over a ton of stuff to help you or they have a link to their YouTube which also goes over a lot of things. It blends into your kitchen looks well, especially with the stainless steel. There is 10 cooking functions such as air fry, whole roast, air roast, bake, dehydrate, pizza, broil, toast, bagel and reheat. I have used over half of these already and can tell you they do what they're meant to do perfectly and even better than in models past. Some of my favorite is left over pizza or dinner dishes you just set it to reheat and it goes for 10 mins and comes out perfectly and adds a texture and flavor to whatever it is that literally makes your microwave obsolete (think crisp and or evenly cooked instead of soggy hotspot mess you get with microwave). It even has a light inside thats bright enough to see everything in darkness. What differentiates this unit having the pro cook from the lesser models is the fact that it has a built-in thermometer to monitor internal doneness of your food so you'll never under or overcook food again and keep it exactly how you want it. Personally I use this for chicken and steaks. Essentially you can set the temperature that you want the internal meat to achieve and it will cook exactly to that temperature and turn itself off which really makes things insanely easy. Honestly as I said ive had ninja stuff for years now and I always come to love them. After you get through the learning curve of doing your favorite foods and how you like to cook them up this turns into the absolute staple of your kitchen quick. I use it everyday multiple times a day and it makes my oven feel like a dinosaur in comparison because you can just cook every item that needs heating so much better, even toast lol.

I absolutely love my Ninja-Prestige Smart XL Oven — it has completely transformed the way I cook! From the moment I started using it, I knew it was going to be a staple in my kitchen. I use it constantly, and it has made cooking an absolute breeze. Whether I'm air frying, baking, roasting, or reheating, this oven handles it all with precision and speed. The smart features are incredibly intuitive, and the XL capacity means I can cook full meals without juggling multiple appliances. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and the results are consistently delicious. Cleanup is easy, the design is sleek, and it fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up too much space. I genuinely look forward to using it every day — it’s that good. If you're on the fence about getting one, do it. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

When this arrived, I was surprised at the weight. It is close to 35 pounds, and a bit awkward in the carton. Tipped it out, placed on counter, plugged in, and washed all the pans and racks. That's all there is to setup. This air fryer / cooker / and counter oven has numerous features and cooking modes. This can Air Fry, Whole Roast, Air Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Pizza, Broil, Toast, Bagel, and Reheat. With the “Smart Surround Convection”, turning food over isn't necessary – it will brown on all sides. Using the included temperature sensor, you can use “Pro Cook System” to cook to the desired level of internal temperature, or how done you want the food. Of course, regular baking, toasting, roasting, pizza, etc., are all easily accomplished. It has a 2.67 cu. ft. capacity to cook larger items, and comes with two wire racks, two sheet pans, roast tray, removable crumb tray, air fry basket, and the pro cook thermometer. This has a high velocity fan to brown / crisp foods all around. You can also cook on two levels using the cooking guide that comes with the oven, which gives approximate parameters. The controls are push buttons located in the handle, and the digital readout shows exactly what you are programming. Cook method, temperature, time, light, etc. Once the pre-heat is finished, the time counts down to 0 and finishes. Pre-heat is only about 90 seconds. I really like this appliance, and can see the many uses it has. But, I do think there is a learning curve to achieve the best results. I did air fry chicken wings as per guide, and found that more time was needed to get them more crispy. Also, I found the oven did fill with some smoke. Then trying frozen french frys, again following guide, they were too over done. As said, the cooking guide is just that, a “guide”. I am sure with some practice, I will learn the best settings for perfectly cooked meals. The construction is of stainless steel, and should be easy to keep clean. Even with air frying the chicken, there was very little splatter inside the oven. The door wiped clean, and the drip pans also cleaned easily. The fit and finish is excellent. I am looking forward to continuing to use and learning all the cooking possibilities this appliance provides!

The Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer and Countertop Oven finally arrived & whoa is it a large heavy box,I was barely able to get it inside by myself. Once I was able to unbox this beast and get it in to the kitchen I was honestly a bit worried because this monster takes up a lot of real estate on counter. Thank gawd once I got it set it was able to slide under the cabinets and also not hang off the front edge of the countertop. While on this subject let me say that this thing does get hot, hot enough that you will not hold your finger on it more than one time unless your an idiot, trust me, soo make sure it has ample space on all sides to dissipate the heat. As far as the girth goes if you do not trust me then I have a few pics below with a ruler so you can get a feel for whether you have the space required. While unboxing it seemed like I kept unwrapping things but this was good because Ninja provides you with all of the accessories that you will need to take full advantage of all of the cooking methods available. Once you have everything unwrapped and slid inside onto the shelves you are instructed to do a 20 min cook to sorta "sterilize" all of the pans and racks that were provided at I think 425* which was how I discovered how hot the outside of the unit will get soo be careful.The oven comes with two wire racks, air frying basket, two baking sheets, and a 2 piece roasting tray. The Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer and Countertop Oven has a total of 10 possible functions that include baking, roasting, toasting, dehydrating, as well as air frying. I have used the oven several times in the past week but I have not been able to experiment with all of the possible functions. I have been able to use the roasting, air fryer & baking functions and all performed well. When selecting a function the oven will give you a preset to start off with however you can make adjustments as needed depending on your needs. I have done the basics like making toast & morning bagels & everything came out fine. Over the weekend I used the unit to air fry some snacks while watching a few games including some small wings and cheese sticks, the wings I had to cook longer than what the preset was because they were not to that crispy point like I wanted them to be, the cheese sticks came out great and were basically perfect. One evening I decided to roast a few lobster tails and in less than 5-6 mins they were perfectly done & exactly how I like them without drying the tails out. Soo far I have been pleased with everything I can do with the oven and have enjoyed having it as a new tool in the kitchen however I have had to relegate other kitchen accessories back inside the cabinets to make room for the oven which I'm not the happiest about but whadaya gonna do.

I recently purchased this for our family of four, and it has truly transformed our mealtime routine. The spacious interior easily accommodates meals for our entire family, making it simple to cook everything from a crispy batch of fries to a full roasted chicken in one go. The touchscreen controls are intuitive, and the variety of preset cooking functions means we can experiment with different recipes without the usual fuss. We love how quickly it heats up, reducing our overall cooking time, which is a huge bonus on busy weeknights. Cleanup is a breeze too—its stainless steel design not only looks modern on our countertop but also wipes down easily after use. Overall, this appliance has become a staple in our kitchen, offering versatility, efficiency, and consistently great results. I highly recommend it to any family looking to streamline their cooking process without sacrificing quality or taste.

We discovered how useful a countertop air fryer oven is a few years ago. My wife and I work full time from home. Back then we each had long commutes to the office. The quality of food you could cook and the time it took was a new experience. However since that time we have had two ovens fail for various reasons. One just stopped working and the other was damaged in a recent storm. Neither of these ovens were Ninja products. We have two other Ninja appliances that we use everyday. Both have features we use and they have been rock solid in their performance and value. I hope to have the same experience with the Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer. The oven comes packed very well in a large box. I was able to do the unpacking by myself. But do be careful. There is also quite a lot of packing recycling material to dispose of. This is a large oven. We placed it in our usual place that is 26” wide and 26” deep but we may relocate it. When open the door hangs past the counter. All of the controls are on the door handle. Time will tell if this is a good choice. They are easy to use and see but I have concerns about cleaning the buttons on the handle. This location does allow for a bigger door and glass. That should help make upkeep easier. The oven has 4 cooking levels on the inside. It comes with an air fryer basket, two standard wire trays, two nonstick baking pans, a roast tray to reduce smoke and a crumb tray for the bottom. With a single baking pan installed the inside dimensions are 10 ½” deep, 12 ½ wide and 7 ½ height. When in use the oven fan is loud. But not more so than the other ovens we have had. What level you place your food when following the instructions is key. Some foods cook better in the middle or bottom for example. At first I found this a little confusing but after a few meals it's actually helpful to take the guesswork out. Of course you can still cook at any level you want. But cooking is optimized by the cooking level that they recommend. One of the great features is you can find a lot of videos on how to help you understand the best cooking methods and get some great ideas. This oven also comes with a cabled thermometer for keeping track of the cooking temperature. Ninja also sells a wireless version as an accessory. For me as a novice cooker knowing I am reaching the correct temperature is a life saver. I love that feature so much I won’t ever buy another cooking appliance that doesn’t have this feature. Our initial cooking experience has been very good. We have done our usual french fries and baked potatoes. Both were delicious. We are currently cooking a full chicken and it seems to be going great. We are still learning how to use the front panel. What level you place your food at is new. But so far we are very happy with the fryer. It might be bigger than we need but as time goes on I am sure that won’t be a problem. I do most of the household cleaning and having this big door for access is going to be very nice. I sure wish I knew how useful a countertop oven is. I would have not spent so much on my gas oven when we remodeled. We almost never use it now.

Unboxing - This is a solidly built and somewhat heavy counter top convection / toaster oven. The box contains the oven, an accessories box, another accessories wrapping and product literature. This unit weighs over 35 pounds packed which is notable if you plan to use in an RV or camper. All the individual accessories that are found in the oven or the accessories box are wrapped to avoid any damage. It did feel a bit peeling an onion to reach the point of plugging it in and testing it out. Cooking Space ! It's larger inside than any toaster convection oven I have personally used to date. We have an older unit that is supposed to do six slices of bread on a single rack - but does not unless your bread is very small. THIS toaster oven fits a full six slices of Texas Toast ! It also fits a standard frozen pizza without bumping up against the door or back wall. Cooking modes I have used so far - ( I really want to try dehydrate ~ ) It has ten ! - I have used the following with great success: Air Fry - Used for sweet potato fries and regular fries with air basket - Great ! Air Roast - Used with seasoned chicken with baking pan for catch-tray Bake - Used for pizza - pizza mode works better ! Pizza - It makes the bottom crust of a frozen pizza less soggy ! Broil - Used to crisp frozen pizza, Melt / reheat various leftovers Toast - To make toast of course ! We have toasted English muffins, bread and muffins. Overall - Why even own a toaster ? With one of these you can toast and whip up side dishes to compliment larger meals, bake a dessert or just bake, broil and/or air fry whatever you want without having to fire up the regular oven ! What I love - 90 Second preheat - Unit can cook to completion faster than my oven can preheat. Big interior space ! Convection mode cooks very evenly versus traditional toaster ovens Room for improvement - I would love to see this in an enameled non-stick interior. Overall - Love it !

Very moderate and well designed. I like that it's wide but not too bulky. Works great, but yes the fan can be loud at times. I definitely suggest it for anyone looking for a good multi-option counter top oven.

I’ve been using the Ninja Air Fryer Countertop Oven + Pro Cook for a while now, and I’m honestly very satisfied with it. It’s become one of my most-used appliances in the kitchen. The air fryer function works great, but what really stands out is the versatility — I can make so many different recipes in this one unit, from roasted veggies and crispy chicken to baked goods and reheated leftovers. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and delivers that nice crispiness without needing much oil. The Pro Cook features are a bonus — multiple cooking functions, easy-to-use controls, and accessories that help you get the most out of every meal. Cleaning is relatively easy if you do it right after use, and the size is perfect for a countertop without taking over too much space. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a multifunctional appliance that actually performs well.

The Ninja Prestige Smart XL is a powerful multi-mode oven that offers plenty of space to cook all sorts of meals. It features four rack levels, from which, depending on the meal, the device allows you to choose only one or two racks for either one- or two-level cooking. I haven’t tested, but I guess you could use the four racks at once to cook. I’ve tried both levels of cooking, and so far, I’ve had better experiences with one-level cooking when compared to two-level cooking. For one level cooking, toasts and bagels have come out toasted/cooked to perfection, no complaints. We’ve also used one level cooking for reheating with no issues. Unfortunately, I haven’t had great results when using the two-level cooking; for instance when cooking chicken wings and fried potatoes, the fries placed on the top tray came out very dry with some not fully cooked, and the chicken wings placed at the bottom tray came out well cooked, but not as crispy as we would have liked it. It looks like I still need to do more experimentation with temperatures and cooking times and also on how much of the elements I put in the trays and baskets, to get the perfect meal. The device comes with a thermometer that can help you cook your different meats to perfection. You can also customize the settings to your preferences, and you can even cook complete meals in the Ninja Prestige SmartXL, something similar to what the Ninja Combi provides. I haven’t tried all the cooking modes and settings; however, so far, this makes a great countertop multi cooker/oven. The only downside I’ve found is that when you decide to do a two-level cooking, you do need to set it manually on the device. If you forget, then you’ll be cooking at the one-level setting, until you realize your mistake by looking at the front control panel (if you are the kind of distracted individual, you won’t even notice your mistake.) The “Tips, recipes and cooking charts” booklet that comes with the device gives you all you need to figure out what to do, how many trays to use, to cook your different meals (it even gives you some recipes to follow.) - Pros: spacious, four rack levels, one or two-level cooking, predefined cooking modes, configurable settings. - Cons: no two-level autodetect cooking. >> Air Fryer We decided to give the Ninja Prestige SmartXL a chance to air-fry chicken wings and potatoes. So, following the suggestions (or directions) in the “tips” booklet, we went for a two-level cooking. I placed the potato slices on the top air fry basket, and the chicken wings on the bottom sheet pan (over a wire rack), then selected Air Fry cooking mode, leaving all the default settings as suggested, but making sure I pressed the two-level cooking setting on the front panel. After 20 minutes, we noticed that still there was some more cooking to do, so we increased the time and the temperature. Soon after, about 15 minutes, we got perfectly cooked chicken wings, but without any crispiness on them; they were well cooked but no “fried” signs could be seen on them, nevertheless the taste was great (my own secret recipe.) The story with the fries was very different, I am not sure if we cut them too thick or placed too many of them in the basket, but several came out not cooked, while others were a little burnt, and basically all of them were hard on the outside, like something dehydrated the outside of the potato pieces but left most of the inside moist. Definitely, I need to see what is going on here, so I need to do more experimentation, as I would have expected for a different result. Note: now that I am re-reading the “tips” booklet that came with the device, I noticed that it mentions not to get the different chicken wing pieces to crowd each other, and I think I might have put too many chicken wings together for my first not-so-great air fried chicken wings. >> Toast I assume that toasting bread is one of the most common things done in any household. This machine can toast your bread to perfection (of course as long as you’ve chosen the right settings for how dark/light you want your toast to be.) It has room to up to 9 regular sliced bread pieces, so multiple toasts at once for the whole family. According to the booklet, only one-level cooking is allowed for toasting, so you have to place the wire rack on level 3 with your bread slices on it and proceed to toast them. I wonder if I could have two-level cooking for toasting, use level 3 with the basket and level 2 with the sheet pan, and bread slices distributed among them (well, with 9 slices capacity, perhaps I don’t even need to try this.) One thing I noticed is that there is a lot of condensation after toasting, so a good idea is to open the oven once all is done. >> Dehydration At home, we use dehydrators for different things, from mushrooms to veggies, so it came handy to have the Ninja Prestige SmartXL readily available for some of our dehydration needs. So far, the machine has done a decent job at dehydrating. Of course, I won’t be dehydrating mushrooms in this oven due to the spores, but I plan on using it on different foods, to preserve and to have snacks readily available. For one of my rehydration attempts, I chose to dehydrate apples in a two-level cooking style, the wire basket at the top on level 4 and the sheet pan (on top of the wire rack) at the bottom on level 2. I placed the same amount of apple slices on both racks. I selected Dehydration from the cooking modes, and didn’t change the default settings for temperature and time. As expected (as I expected based on previous attempts), the results were not uniform, the top wired basket pieces dried almost perfectly while the bottom sheet pan ones still needed more time. So, I moved the bottom apple pieces to the top wire basket tray and the top apple pieces to the bottom tray, and then continued the dehydration for some more time. At the end, the results were fine, albeit some manual intervention to get the pieces to dehydrate uniformly. I might place aluminum foil over the sheet pan next time, because a couple of pieces of apple stuck strongly to the sheet pan surface and I had to rub them to get them off the pan.

While a little on the pricey side for a "toaster oven," this little thing acts like a giant and has made cooking a lot easier. It can air fry, roast, toast, and bake. I haven't tried making a cake, but my biscuits have come out great! Not to mention, my pork roast, roasted vegetables, and air-fried chicken! The smart cook feature with the thermometer makes cooking a roast a simple process. Probe your roast, turn it on, set the internal temp, and forget it! I would definitely buy another one!

This Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer and Countertop Oven + Pro Cook is a great addition to my kitchen space and our family needs. The kitchen appliance that helps to consolidate so many different functions into a handy dandy countertop design. Our household relies heavily on air fryer usage for multiple meals throughout the day and this has been the main feature we continually use, and it's performed quite well for french fries, chicken nuggets, fish sticks, and tater tots for example. This allows for so many various uses and functions such as dehydration, air frying, roasting, broiling, baking, toasting, and reheating. We have eliminated our previous appliances such as an air fryer, toaster oven, and dehydrator, in favor of using this one Ninja Prestige Countertop Oven. Less appliances and less clutter is a good thing for our household and smaller kitchen size. This appliance simply plugs into a wall outlet with 120V output and operates at 1800 watts. It's a semi bulky appliance and requires a sturdy counter or kitchen island since it weighs in at about 33.75 pounds. I really like the stainless steel look and the integrated buttons/display which are built into the handle. The convection oven is what makes this such a good appliance for an even cook throughout. The Smart Surround Convection helps to distribute that desired temperature to give your food item the proper all around cook or crisp, which helps to avoid hot spots or uneven cooking. We've been making morning breakfast foods such as toast, bagels, english muffins and they've all been turning out just right for our desired look and taste. There are a total of 10-in-1 functionality for different cooking programs as mentioned earlier. Just the other day we made a small 9x9 pan of brownies which baked to perfection within this Ninja Oven. We still utilize our home oven/range for larger cooking, but the Ninja Oven makes it a great addition for when we have big meals for parties. Recently we were baking large pizzas in the home oven, while also making a lamb roast in our Ninja Oven and utilizing the Pro Cook system. This allowed us to choose our desired level of doneness and the thermometer allows for continuous temperature monitoring of the food. I feel the high powered convection in this Ninja Oven allows for faster cooking time and more evenly cooked meats. You can cook on 2 levels in this Ninja Oven and keep the food from intermingling with one another. No extra rotation of food or shaking of a basket is needed, due to the air flow of the convection oven. Ninja did a great job with providing multiple accessories such as a pro cook thermometer which connects into your food and the handle of the Ninja Oven. There is an air fry basket, roast tray, 2 sheet pans, 2 wire racks. Everything you need to get this up and running and use right out of the box. I think it's been a very short learning curve for both myself and my wife. The Ninja Oven has a nice upscale design and has a bold look while it sits on the countertop. Overall it offers a lot of functionality and use for various food creations. I'm able to eat healthier by roasting and air frying my foods without using excess oils and damaging my wellness. This is one of the best Ninja appliances I've come across since it's helped me to cook better and shorten my cooking time. Will be continually experimenting with new foods in the future such as making my own roasted whole chicken and items such as baking a pie in this Ninja Oven.

Works great and is extremely versatile! Makes wings really tender and crispy. Great for pizza and oven baking. It’s ready to cook at high temps so quickly (2 minutes or less) it’s shocking! I am using it almost daily.

I have been in the market for a good countertop oven and air fryer for some time and decided to try this combo that was offered by Ninja. I am so glad I went with this product! Right out of the box I could tell this was made well as it offered multiple trays to use when cooking. The door of the oven is strong , closes well and durable that I feel will last for some time. Setup / Install was very easy , just make sure you remove all the hidden tape and packaging inside the over. The instruction book is very detailed with a great "cheat sheet" towards the back. I recommend reviewing the book even for those who are familiar with countertop ovens as this product offers a ton of features. Speaking of features this thing can Air Fry, Air Roast, Broil, Bake, Norm Roast, Pizza, Toast, Bagel, Reheat and dehydrate. I got to experience the Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Pizza, Toast and Reheat however not the roast setting yet. Overall each of these features work great and I recommend to use the pre-programmed setting instead of modifying it to package settings. My brother tried to make frozen pizza , did not go with the programmed settings, went with the pizza package settings and slightly burned the pizza. The only issue I have found is that after the pre-heating it starts the timer immediately not allowing time to place the food in there. So I recommend standing near the oven during pre-heat so you dont miss the timer start. If the timer does start its not a big worry as it is very easy to reset the timer. The roast feature this has also comes with a "pro cook thermometer" its wired and can check temp throughout the cooking. The really cool feature is that it uses a "pro cook" feature that monitors the roast to get the perfect regulated temp. Unfortuantely I have not tried cooking a roast however looking forward to trying this feature out! Overall this Ninja Air Fyer / Countertop Oven is amazing! It comes packed with features and made very well. I strongly recommend this product.
