Size: 6.5 QT MAX
We absolutely love this Ninja 6.5 QT Pro XL Air Fryer! The size is perfect for our family, it easily fits enough food for full meals without feeling overcrowded. It heats up quickly, cooks food evenly, and gives everything that perfect crispy texture without needing much oil. We use it constantly for things like chicken, fries, veggies, and quick weeknight dinners, and everything turns out great. It’s very easy to use, the controls are straightforward, and cleanup is simple, which is a huge bonus. Overall, this air fryer has become a staple in our kitchen and we’re extremely happy with the quality and performance. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Cooking made fast and easy!!!
Size: 5.5 QT XL
I bought this air fryer for my Mom’s birthday. She had mentioned getting one years ago but never did. She loves cooking and cooking well. This fryer was perfect, excellent quality, delicious food turn out and the whole family loves it! It makes everything (like chicken strips and fries) so hot and crispy. You need to wash the bucket throughly at the end of each use with a soft washcloth, hot water and Dawn soap to really get it clean and not allow grease build up. It’s been used a lot already and we haven’t had an issue. Great product, just love it! ... show more

    • Absolutely the Best Air Fryer!
Size: 6.5 QT MAX
I cannot say enough good things about this fryer! It’s large, has lots of settings, and is easy to use. I particularly like the extra crispy function and I often use that at the last couple minutes on things like fries, chicken, wings, and even sausage and peppers. It’s relatively easy to clean also. It is rather large so you need a big space to store it unless you keep it on your counter. I see such a difference in this fryer versus the generic one. I had so many years, which worked well but nothing compared to this one this is the GOAT of air fryers. And the best thing is I got it on a fantastic deal.! ... show more

    • Great ninja air fryer
Size: 4 QT
I had a Cuisine Art who was still working perfectly but it was about time to change it due to the plafon bottom beginning to peel. I did my homework and searched for a new air fryer everywhere and this ninja air fryer constantly showed up in my search engine so I understood that I definitely had to give it an opportunity. To my surprise although these ninja air fryer feels way lighter than my Cuisine Art air fryer it has been working wonderfully hitting all my meals as expected and looking beautiful in my countertop because of its dark gray color. The heat levels are very manageable and easy to use just like it's touch screen which has lots of options for you to decide. The price is very competitive and it works wonderfully as of today. I would definitely suggest these air fryer to anyone. ... show more

Size: 6.5 QT MAX
BEST air fryer I’ve ever used, and EASY to use! I was always skeptical about Ninja, seemed like hype, but happy to be proven wrong TWICE! Ninja air-toaster oven was awesome, so got this air fryer. I’ve used many air fryers, this one topped them all! Can’t say enough about easy to use, easy to clean, even and fast cooking. Just the best one we’ve ever used. ... show more

    • Well worth the money
Size: 5 QT
I Love This Air Fryer and Wish I’d Bought It Sooner! I bought this air fryer in October and have been using it regularly for a couple of months, and I absolutely love it. I put off buying one for a long time because of the cost and because I usually dislike countertop appliances — they’re often bulky and hard to clean. This one completely changed my mind. It’s very easy to use and surprisingly easy to clean. I’ve cooked chicken thighs, diced potatoes and onions, bacon, hamburger patties, french fries, brussel sprouts, broccoli, egg rolls, and more — everything has come out delicious. It cooks fast and gives me that “fried food” satisfaction without the extra fat or guilt. It also comes with a helpful booklet that includes cooking time charts for different foods and useful tips, which made getting started easy. There are additional features I haven’t even tried yet, which makes it feel like an even better value. I use this air fryer almost daily and honestly wish I’d bought it sooner. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Quick and Easy
Size: 5 QT
Purchased this air fryer for my husband. He has been using it nonstop. It’s easy to use and the capacity size is great IMO for our family. It’s easy to clean and quick to use. Ninja also is a great brand with a good reputation. We have not had any issues so far.
