Here’s what one 5-star reviewer said about her Ninja Air Fryer:

“Love it! I’ve made wings, cookies, veggies, potatoes, steak, toast, grilled cheese, chicken breasts, bacon- endless possibilities and quite convenient. Super convenient actually. I’ve used it almost daily since I received it in the mail. I chose Ninja because so far, they’ve not failed me. I get overwhelmed with products and do tons of research on the ‘best’, I somehow always come back to Ninja.

In regard to affordability, esthetics, and the overall use of the product, this was a great buy. I chose the 5.5-quart. There are two of us in the household and the size is perfect for us.” – Toni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what Lina from our team had to say about her Power Air Fryer:

“I enjoy making different air fryer foods in my XL like bacon, veggies, chicken nuggets, and even warming up leftovers is a cinch. It’s so simple to use even my kids use it on their own. It’s also very easy to wash, and overall a great machine that has worked well for many of our family meals. I use this appliance weekly!”  – Lina ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one reviewer had to say about her Elite Air Fryer:

“It took me under 10 minutes to read the manual, set this device up, plug it in, and fry up the most perfect batch of breaded eggplant. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. It also gives you the choice of using some very useful presets or using the manual setup to precisely select the times and temperatures you want.

The fryer has a very high-tech look and I really like the emerald green display that shows you temperature and time, and the buttons are easy to operate. I’ve used my Elite Platinum fryer for preparing eggplant, bananas, onion rings, and french fries – and cleanup is easy and fast.” – Elle ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one reviewer said about her Instant Pot Vortex:

“I love this thing! I hesitated to buy it because it takes up prime real estate on my counter but after trying out some stuff cooked in one my friend had I just had to buy it. It’s fantastic for cooking chicken wings and for baking things like those frozen garlic breadsticks my kid loves that require you to heat up the oven to 4,000 degrees just to cook them for 4 whole minutes. That’s no fun in south Florida heat!

But where it really shines is in reheating leftovers like pizza and fried foods. I even reheated fish and chips using the air fryer mode and they tasted just like fresh from the restaurant. I’ve used this thing at least once a day since I bought it, sometimes more. We toast scones for breakfast, make tuna melts for lunches, and cook wings and fries for dinner. It’s fantastic!” – KL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what a reviewer had to say about her CHEFMAN Air Fryer:

“I know I’m late to the party, but this is my first air fryer…I’m not a HUGE fan of gadgets in the kitchen where it only has one purpose (ex. quesadilla maker) and then you can’t do anything else with it. This thing has really simplified my life and I haven’t even used all of the available features yet…

So far I’ve made shrimp, chicken wings, regular fries, and sweet potato fries and everything has been awesome! I want to dehydrate some fruit next, but haven’t had a chance to do it yet. The biggest takeaway from this unit is its versatility… It’s several appliances in one, and that’s something I love.” – Samson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what Jenna from our team had to say about her Breville Air Fryer:

“I am obsessed with my Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer! It definitely is on the spendier side, but it really does do it all! Since getting it, I have only used my actual oven a handful of times. This thing makes everything crispier – from fries and pizzas to chicken legs and wings! Plus, it bakes cookies to PERFECTION! Love it!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one reviewer had to say about her DASH Deluxe:

“So I’ve been wanting my family to eat healthier, but my husband is resistant to change. He is a man who loves all things fried…wings, french fries, burgers, corn dogs, etc. I decided to bite the bullet and I’m so glad I did! Be warned… this thing is HUUUGE! Other reviewers said it was big, but I didn’t realize how big it was. Like, it’s bigger than my 6qt InstantPot. Not a problem for me as I have the storage space, but something to consider for those with limited storage and countertop space.

That being said, there are no other negatives. It’s so easy to use, cleans super easy, and food comes out sooo good. So far I’ve made country potatoes and chicken cordon bleu, and my husband raved about how good they were, despite being way lower in fat than how I’ve previously made these dishes. I can’t wait to make wings this weekend! Worth every penny.” – Melody ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what Sara on our team had to say about her Ninja Foodi Grill:

“The Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill totally knocked it out of the park when it comes to quality craftsmanship and making great food. It will most definitely last for years like my other beloved Ninja appliances. Take a moment to read my detailed review of the Foodi and find out why I can’t stop raving about it!” – Sara ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one reviewer said about her Cosori Max XL:

“After months of research, I finally decided on this model. I went back and forth between the models with windows vs the basket style like this one. Many helpful reviewers stated how easy it was to clean this unit – I think that’s what finally sealed the deal for me. I just wanted an air fryer that was easy to use and clean – if these factors are also important to you, look no further!

Now let’s talk about what a great cooking job it does. The first meal I prepared was jerk chicken thighs (boneless, skinless). I marinated the meat overnight with jerk seasoning and cooked them in the (pre-heated) air fryer at 400° for 15 minutes. I pulled the tray out after 15 to flip the meat and realized there was no need – they were perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside.

The fryer has a sleek, low-profile design and won’t take up too much room on your countertop (no more than a standard toaster oven). If you’re lucky enough to have lots of cabinet space, it will tuck away nicely.

I am just getting started with this thing but am very happy with my purchase. Happy cooking!” – Susan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one reviewer had to say about their Bella Pro Series:

“The Bella Pro Series exceeded my expectations. I have been able to bake with it, make pizza, French fries, and so many more things. I absolutely love the flexibility and healthier cooking I can now share with my family by eliminating unnecessary oils, without sacrificing the flavor. The Bella Pro Series has so much to offer, I highly recommend this to anyone.” – Dave ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here’s what one buyer had to say about their Ninja Foodi SP101:

“If this item had the ability to give a 10-star review, I would assign it all 10 stars. This is a fantastic air fryer. After doing my research I chose this one primarily because we are a family of 7, so we need the room. I am SO pleased with the results…. and it is super easy to use. As if the results of cooking weren’t enough, the whole unit easily flips up (after cooling..) so that you have access to all of your counter space. I was skeptical at first, wondering about flipping an extra-large air fryer on end… but we easily do it… what a bonus!

Some of our amazement is how delicious things taste, and that might be true for any air fryer… BUT, with the extra-large capacity, I can get everything done in one cycle… and, not heat up the house. Things take far less time too… hash brown patties that take 28 minutes in an oven, are done in 12 minutes on air fry. I cook chicken in the instant pot, then brush with BBQ and finish off under the broiler in the air fryer. The large size basket fits approx 20 legs… delicious!

You can’t go wrong here…. even if you aren’t a large family, you will LOVE the benefits of the Ninja air fryer. We are SO glad that we chose it.” – Avery ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
