"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"There's even a thermometer and a setting system to get the internal temp to a preferred temp. "Is that chicken juicy or raw? Turns out it's juicy since internal temp hit 180.""
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."

"love the sync function"
"My kid with the Ninja XL can make a full dinner with sides all at once for her and her husband, so that versatility is off the charts."

"Picked it up on amzn prime day in July and I use it almost daily. Vegetables, burgers, reheating leftovers - almost anything that could go in a microwave now goes in the air fryer."
"it's almost replaced out oven for anything baked or roasted."
"each basket has a wire rack to basically make 4 cooking surfaces, too. (2 per drawer/basket - top rack being more crispy foods) ... I love that each basket/drawer comes with a separate rack that sits half way in the basket making 4 areas to cook on. ... the top rack in each drawer is the "crispier" foods rack"

"after 2 years needs replacement parts (grill, pan, and basket). The cost to replace these parts is nearly equal to buying a new unit."
hammond_egger 1.0We have a Ninja Pro XL 6.5qt and have nothing bad to say about it. It works well and is extremely easy to use.
sufithink 0.4If yours is the type of family that uses gadgets like the air fryer, then go for a Philips HD9252/90 I’m saying this because a lot of us just buy gadgets and then they start to be kept aside. I found that basting your non veg items with a little oil really makes a world of difference. If you want to splurge, the Ninja Pro is a wonderful fryer. Ceramic and all that.
lazygerm 0.3I have a Ninja that's got Super-Crisp (450F) technology.
ceraexx 0.2I shake in this one too. It's a little on the smaller side so I only do about 8 wings at a time. I usually flip about half way through and do some shaking towards the end.
Koffenut1 0.2I have the Ninja XL and love it, however, you might want to consider just buying one you like with an extended warranty. Normally I avoid those like the plague but they make sense for something like this. Get a 4 year warranty on a $150 AF, knowing with high usage you will cash in.
lorenzo4203 0.2medhat20005 0.2I have a Cosori toaster oven style air fryer (some of my kids are all bougie and have Breville and the other a Ninja). All are terrific because they can all make a frozen pizza to perfection. Yes, longer pre-heat compared to a basket...by maybe a minute. My kid with the Ninja XL can make a full dinner with sides all at once for her and her husband, so that versatility is off the charts. I find with the mesh basket tray on my Cosori that I don't have to flip foods and they're much easier to space out to allow the circulation that is the science behind why an air fryer works.
Reelair 0.2I have the toaster oven style. Got the Ninja Flip one, loved it! Then I got the Ninja XL, love it even more! The Flip takes a bigger tray, but the XL takes two smaller trays. Flip would be great for a single person, the XL is great for my partner and I. I can't imagine trying to cook in one of those tiny basket type. They were never an option for me.
sniffysippy 0.2Great wings come out of my Ninja XL. I like being able to shake the basket.
boomer1204 0.0Honestly if you are comparing between a toaster oven and an air fryer I would get w/e is cheaper and takes up less space. I would maybe look into one of those ninja foodi 6-1 (or w/e brand is available) were you can also saute and slow cook so you have more breadth. In the grand scheme of things they are gonna cook things more or less the same when it comes to the baking/broil/air fry
