"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"You can cook potatoes or vegetables on bottom while you’re air frying on the top."
"And it does so many other things. ... I used normal air fryer before and they are extremely limited relative to the speedi. ... You can steam in the speedi. ... You could use it as a rice cooker. ... It has like 10 functions and they all work very well."
"it has a rotisserie mode, in case you want your fries to be tumbled while cooked and a "spit" that secures your whole chicken."

"first one broke after two years, the second one not even one year ... can`t say I`m too happy with the quality build ... the cable going from the board to the lid through the hinge is a known failure point now"

"I miss this function on my Ninja."
BitchyFromTheBlock 1.0I have the ninja 3 in 1 and I love it
brave-excersise-6367 1.0I had and instantpot with ultimate lid, it is similar to the foodi 14 in1 in that the same lid does pressur and airfrying. I loved it, especially for pressure cocking. There it has the advantage of a pulsed release. So you can set it and forget, it releases itself slowly. I miss this function on my Ninja. On the downside the instant pot had only one pressure setting. Even 0 min was too long for sensitive vegies. You would think you could do steaming instead, however it turns out that steaming is just another name for the same pressure function, so your only chance is learning to like overcoked broccoli. The other problem I had was when backing muffins etc. The baking funtion only uses the top element, like an airfryer, leading to burned tops and wet bottoms. This was the main reason I switched to the ninja ol650. The combi-steam functions allow you to use both, the top and bottom elements. And bakeries, even bread turn out great. I too heared that they might discontinue some models, and couldn't find an ol701 for a while. But then suddenly found new models (ol650 and ol750). I got mine with 3y manufacturers waranty and 2y extra extended waranty. I guess that should see me over. In summay, I would go with the Ninja (but your milage may differ).
Adventurous-Bee-5477 0.4Yeah since limiting to using points the oven like product from ninja i can get would be the ninja combination 14 in 1. Has pizza option but again is it big enough and also want it to be able to cook wings good. Its just airfryers seem good as an all rounder as u. can shake fries, wings etc in basket.. I think if I have to and maybe a good thing finance wise long term is just cook half a large pizza if I can't do a whole. Thanks tho for the suggestion im looking at reviews and the ninja combi maybe worth a consideration at least. It comes with a proper pizza tray...and does chips etc as good as air fryers. .. its just a bit large (well yeah it fits a large pizza), but apparently gets hot a bit underneath unlike airfryers. As I rent I have to be mindful I don't damage the benchtop. Airfryers seem to be raised so let air vebtilate underneath it.
JenninMiami 0.4I have a Ninja Foodi 14 in 1 and I LOVE IT! It has an air fryer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, food dehydrator etc! Edit: the one I have has 2 lids, and air fryer basket too.
Thinks the exact one I have! I’ve been using these since like 2017, I think? It’s been a long time! I upgraded to the all in one in 2020 and I can’t imagine my life without it. My daughter keeps her 6 qt in her kitchen cabinet, but my cabinets are totally small because I have the 8qt one. It does take up some space, but it’s my most used kitchen item - I use it more than my oven/stove! Edit: Have to mention: since I got this machine, I’ve made our family’s thanksgiving turkey in it every year and it’s a HIT!
warkolm 0.1yeah this don't go cheap as you will inevitably replace it when it breaks in 9 months. the foodi is good quality and you will find yourself using the other functions
caetrina 0.1I love mine and use it daily. I even bought a ninja combi because I wanted more options lol. I like the ninja foodi because it's also a pressure cooker, and makes perfect rice and hard boiled eggs. I use it for bagels/waffles/toast daily, and usually reheat things in it. If you make frozen foods like fries and chicken nugs, it's good for that, and if you like roasted veggies, it's perfect for that too. My oven has an air fry function, but it doesn't work as well as a standalone one.
Puzzled_Sherbet2305 0.1As a single dude who lived in an apartment the air fryer was literally a game changer. If you want to minimize counter space in I’d recommend one the expensive yet versatile ones. my mom gave me a ninja foodie for Christmas that does air frying pressure cooking and slow cooking. The thing slaps. I air fried all my meat as it creates no smoke and the smell is minimal. The clean up is super easy
yanny0913 0.1I have a Ninja foodie which is an air fryer plus insta pot. It's a great space saver. While we don't use either option often, it's nice to have when we do want to use it
Lost_Negotiation_385 0.1We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.
HoboArmyofOne 0.1Yeah I got a ninja that's the pressure cooker/air fryer 2 in 1 machine and I love it. It air frys really well and the pressure cooker is better than I thought it would be. I use it quite a bit. You just have to preheat it for the air fryer but it only takes a few minutes. It's very consistent so you get a good feel for how long you need to heat stuff
