Ninja - Foodi 6-in-1 Indoor Grill & 4-Quart Air Fryer

Came to say this same thing! (Well not thanksgiving! But that would be my exact luck too!!) Ninja Foodie 6 in 1 (I had to look it up!) is the ONLY thing I use. Like 30 second preheat time and i convection oven anything that takes over 20 min bc i don’t have the patience for that

I've had a ninja foodi grill one for years and it's still good. I will keep it for many more years, possibly decades. Got it on eBay for much less than retail and it shipped from the manufacturer, somehow. I think $150? Well worth it. I use wax paper liners in it to make cleanup easier, also worth it.

Our air fryer recently died and needed to be replaced. We don't have as many of the name brand options where I live but ninja is available. Picked up the foodi grill because it looked convenient to use and it is head and shoulders above the old drawer basket style we had. It preheats faster, seems to circulate the air a bit better so things are crispier and it's so much easier to load things in and take things out. It's also much, much, easier to clean. The grill plate works pretty well too. I'm not a huge ninja fan, but this air fryer makes me willing to at least consider the ninja brand for other things. It's been about 4 months now and every time I use it I still think about how I'm glad the old one died because this one is so much better. As a side note, it does an awesome job with leftover pizza, just toss some cold slices in there and run the preheat and about a minute after preheat is done and it's even better than when it was fresh pizza!

I make air fryer sliders all football season long. Wings are also fire. I have the Ninja Indoor Grill/Air Fryer that also works as a dehydrator. It's bigger than a standard air fryer but I actually do use all the functions.

I have a ninja foodie grill with an aircrisp feature and there is definitely a preheat function. Maybe it's just a ninja thing.

Thank you. I don't know anyone else who has a ninja but is it only me that's aggravated when I have to clean it after grilling? All my marinade gets stuck. I see everyone using parchment paper on Instagram but I don't think we can use that in the ninja. Ugh

I've been soaking it with the dawn powerwash spray because I am lazy but I am worried it's going to ruin the coating. I wish we could use the paper but there's no way. Our ninja machines are so different than the other air fryers. I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck.

I don't know if it's bifl, but when it comes to air fryers I've learned that ninja is the only way to go. Specifically the ninja foodi with the "grill" setting.

My foodi is all metal. The easiest to clean of any air fryer I've used too. Throw it all in the dishwasher haha

Specifically the ninja foodi. No Teflon.

It's a square 18"x18" and about a foot tall. It's not huge but it's not tiny either. Perfect for 2, troublesome for 3.

Still works like new!

I went with a 4 qt Ninja on clearance at Walmart. I love it but, I do have to cook small meals or do in batches. I'm single and it's fine for me. Still experimenting as I've only had it a week. forgot what the microwave is for. lol

I’ve not tried the Gourmia (got one for my coworker though and he loves it), but I did recently upgrade to the basic 4 qt ninja and I love it so much! It’s definitely more powerful than my old one, so much easier to clean, a lot quieter, and the button beeps/food ready beeps are much quieter, which I enjoy for late night heating

For two people, a 4–5 qt air fryer is perfect. Ninja and Cosori are reliable and cook more evenly the cheap ones often don’t last. Black Friday usually has solid deals on both brands, so it’s worth waiting.

I have the 4-qt Ninja air fryer and love it. Bought it on FB marketplace several years ago and use it several times a week. Never had any issues.
