Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect air fryer, it does everything and it is much easier to clean than the ones with the basket. Heats up in 30 seconds too

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.

Me and my wife have had an older toaster oven for the last 5 years or so and we loved it but it was starting to get old and didn’t have the newer air fry feature so we wanted to upgrade. We have had several ninja products in the kitchen and we knew they would make a good product to replace our old oven. We have had this for about 5 days and have cooked things from pizza, corn dogs, French fries and the like. So far this little(big) appliance has done a great job at cooking evenly and thoroughly. The heating elements help to cook your food fast and the fan helps to circulate the air adequately to cook the food evenly which I was worried about since this is new and you never know. But all the food came out great and almost perfect! Although I will say make sure you read the instructions because this thing is pretty high tech and you definitely should follow their guidelines so the food will come out its best. Like which rack to place the tray and what setting to use. It’s a bit daunting but you get used to it and you may have to tailor the time and temp to your specific food item. I will say that this oven does cook fast and it does get hot fast with the quick pre heat feature. Not a bad thing but I had to turn the temperature down and lower the time to prevent over cooking. Nothing a skilled frozen food cooker can’t handle lol. The design is great with the display being on the handle and the interior light is great as well. The light does turn off after you open sometimes. Plenty of space for almost anything you want to cook. This will not replace a traditional oven but it will handle everything else and very quickly. Overall very happy with it for its functions,speed and design. Price is reasonable for the quality and features you get. 100% recommend for anyone with or without kids. Healthier for you as well to air fry and no non stick chemicals making their way into our bodies. That’s very important to me. Also ninja includes every possible tray and tack you might need.

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’ve been using the Cuisinart 0.6 Cu. Ft. Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill for nearly two months now, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. The stainless steel finish looks sleek on my countertop, and the build quality feels solid and durable. What I love most is the versatility—whether I’m air frying crispy veggies, toasting bagels, baking small batches of cookies, or grilling sandwiches, this appliance handles it all with ease. The controls are intuitive, and it heats up quickly, saving me time on busy weekdays. The air fryer function works especially well—everything comes out perfectly crisp without needing much oil. Cleaning is also a breeze thanks to the removable trays and non-stick interior. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a space-saving, multi-functional appliance that delivers excellent results every time!

I love it, bit loud but works wonderfully! Cooks evenly and the controls are easy.

I love my new ninja air fryer! My previous air fryer was a draw type that did not have the ability to air fry from both sides so I had to turn my food over halfway through the Cook time. I also like that my new air fryer has a window in which I can see my food. One of my favorite parts is that I can also toast in my air fryer so I was able to get rid of my toaster oven. This saves a lot of space in my kitchen! I would recommend this

Ii, this is more than my stove.It is amazing food comes out.Cook perfect.Anyone who uses it will fall above like me

Our Cuisinart failed us after several years of regular use and we were looking for options with digital temperature control rather than the knobs. We did our research and liked what we saw with the Ninja. Some reviews mentioned it being loud and it is louder than our previous model. However, I really like the guidance on where to place the pans as it is clear that we weren't putting the trays in the right location on our previous oven So far so good with this oven as instructions have us modifying or habits to use the broiler type tray rather than the wire mesh screen with drop tray. We have also made use of the temperature probe already to make some sirloin steaks. We have absolutely no complaints so far, as we really like this oven.

This oven is fantastic! It's so easy to use and does a fabulous job cooking and reheating food, highly recommended!

Really great for quick meal prep. Works very well and precisely cooks what I need just right.

Excellent. oven is quite frankly fantastic , it’s crisp, it’s clean, it’s reliable and energy efficient. I saved myself a lot of money as I did not need to buy a traditional oven. If you live alone like myself or have a small household this is all you need
