Title: Compact, easy to clean, great design
Review: I wish this came in an XXL size. The design is sleek, simple, and modern, which fits my kitchen perfectly, but the size is too compact. You wonât be able to cook a whole chicken unless itâs very small. Aside from that, itâs definitely a great value for the price. I used to have a Philips XXL air fryer, which was easy to maintain and spacious enough to cook anything without any issues, like flipping beef or fish steaks. However, that one cost over $300. This one is less than half the price, and I donât notice much difference in cooking results, except for the smaller basket size. Itâs easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and comes with an attachable layer inside the basket that creates a small gap from the bottom, allowing food to cook evenly without needing to flip it too often. Just be careful with the extra crispy functionâit definitely makes your food crispier, but you might want to reduce the cooking time from the recipe to avoid burning.

Title: Best appliance since the microwave!!!
Review: Been having this fryer for 2 weeks now and it has NOT rested yet. I LOVE IT & wonder how I've gone this long w/out one. Before I start bragging on this thing, I am by no way endorsed by Ninja or getting paid by them. I've owned a few Ninja products blenders and still have one that's over 10 years old. They make quality machines. This fryer is a life & time saver...especially if you're a lazy cook. I have been researching air fryers for the past few months and nothing comes close to the Ninja. The basket size isn't the large 5+ quart capacity like the bigger fryers, (Ninja is only 4qt), but this thing cooks so fast you won't miss the extra 1 qt. It comes w/ a crisper that works perfectly, a recipe book and a multi-layer rack. The first night I had it I made wings and I tell you that I will NEVER buy fried chicken again!!! Yes, they were that crispy and tasted much better. I bought the Louisiana fried chicken flour from Walmart, battered the wings, spritzed w/ a little olive oil and had fried chicken in 10 minutes. No greasy mess, no 3rd degree burns from hot oil, and your house doesn't smell like a chicken joint for 4 days afterward. Because the Ninja uses a ceramic coating on their fryers the clean up is very easy. Next, I made sweet potato fries! Had a bag of frozen ones in the freezer and popped those babies in for 10 min. They were crispier than McDonald's. I tried homemade fries but the procedure takes too long. You have to peel, slice, soak potatoes, dry them...I'm just ready to pop them in the fryer and eat! It has been nonstop air fryer cooking in this house! I hit youtube to get a few recipes and it's been on ever since. What I like best about this fryer is it has a dehydrator feature and how fast it cooks. Frozen chicken wings? No problem! Throw them in the fryer for 10 minutes and they're defrosted. I've cooked pizza, fries, wings, reheated food, fried zucchini, and tonight I baked a chocolate cake. Everything came out perfect! Next up is donuts! The only thing I don't like about this fryer is 30 seconds after it finishes cooking it shuts off. I know this is a safety feature but I always have more items to cook. In 2 weeks, I have used my microwave twice, and that was to reheat coffee. Before I forget, I did cinnamon rolls too! I used the canned Pillsbury ones and it normally takes 20 min in the oven. In the Ninja? 8 minutes and that's if you like them brown. I actually could have stopped it at 5 min and they would be perfect. My house smelled like a Cinnabon factory!ð I have used every feature on this fryer except the dehydrator but I'll be making beef jerky soon. Overall, I am VERY pleased! The best selling feature was the price & the size. The Ninja is much slimmer than some of the bulkier fryers and fits under my cabinet nicely. I'm also happy it only used 1500W unlike some of the larger fryers that burn 1800 which could kill your light bill. The outside of the fryer doesn't get hot so you won't have to worry about getting burned but do take caution when taking your food out. Is it loud? My exhaust fan on my stove is louder than the Ninja. The extension cord on it is long so you don't have to worry about being limited on where you can place it. I think I've covered everything? This thing is THE BOMB! If you're wondering what cookware you can use, just about anything you place in a microwave you can put in the Ninja. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a few 7" foil pans I use to reheat food & bake in. Also, grab you some silicone tongs while you're there so you don't scratch the surface of your fryer. This thing has been almost as good as a kid getting a new bike for Christmas. You will NOT be disappointed w/ this purchase. Happy & healthy cooking!

Title: Super easy to cook with; simple and does what it's supposed to
Review: We've had this for a year plus now and it works fine. The tray and insert are easy to clean and you can buy replacements cheap if you need them (we don't yet). We use it two-to-four times a week, mostly to make fries (excellent) or other fried-type frozen foods. (I threw our deep fryer out - super unhealthy.) We've made other stuff - chicken, even steak, that are ok but better on a grill. It saves having to heat (and clean) the oven and a pan or sheet. Do pre-heat it - cooks better. And don't try to cram too much in - the air needs to blow through/around the food. The AF101 makes plenty of fries for two-three big guys. And do wipe the top out every now and then - I wish the heating element was removable so it would be easier to clean.

Title: Must-have!
Review: This Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. Its sleek design and compact size make it easy to fit into various spaces, while its powerful performance delivers exceptional results without much sound at all.I've been using it for several years now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The air-fried chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, without the greasy mess of deep frying. I've also used it to roast vegetables, bake cakes, and reheat leftovers. The results have been consistently delicious.Overall, this Air Fryer is a great investment for anyone looking to cook healthier and more convenient meals at home. Its versatility, speed, and ease of use make it a must-have appliance.

Title: This is our second
Review: We already own one of these. It is easy to use. Easy to clean. We like it so well, we purchased one for our son. It does more than air fry. The book that comes with it is very helpful. We have learned how to adjust cook times for smaller amounts.I highly recommend.

Title: Not Bad.
Review: Itâs nice. Itâs Ninja. They make good stuff. Lots of settings and it always cooks my food well. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an auto pause feature when you pull the basket out. My air fryer before this one, which was an older, analog type with a turn dial for the temp and timer, would at least pause when I pulled the basket out to check food. Seems silly that this more expensive, fancier one doesnât do that and I have to pause it with a button press. But other than that, it does its job.

Review: I got rid of the toaster oven and the microwave, they just aren't needed any more with this machine that does it all.This fryer reheats sausages on " reheat" in 2 minutes , makes great fried potatoes in 7 minutes, a thick porkchop in 9 minutes, and all without grease. The meat stays very moist and tastes so good and cleanup is so easy with just that bucket to wash out. The stovetop stays clean.I love this machine, I wish I had bought one a long time ago. I use it all the time now. I couldn't resist the sale price but even at regular price it is still a real good deal.If you have been thinking about it, go ahead, jump into the healthy way to cook, you won't regret it.The only difficult part is trial and error to learn times it takes for different foods. The booklet isn't much help for that. Be warned, everything cooks faster than you think it will, so always start with less time and go up if you have to. There is a learning curve of course. I've had it a week now and use it 2-3 times a day and I'm already much more at ease with it.

Review: Bought this product along with an electronic 2 ring convection hob, we love both products so much we are getting rid of our gas cooker, why keep it?The air fryer cooks beef, lamb, steaks, chicken in a third of the time the meat succulent and juicy, melts in your mouth.Our gas oven takes much longer, saving money on gas bills, we have got rid of our deep fat fryer as well...win/win.Highly recommend this product!!I have written a review on Amazon about the hob hope my reviews are helpful to others who may be considering to purchase either product?
