Size: 6.5 QT XL
The media could not be loaded. I’m honestly impressed with the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL. The 6.5 QT capacity is perfect for my family, and it easily fits a large batch of chicken wings or fries without overcrowding. What I love the most is how crispy the food gets without using much oil. The Max Crisp function works amazingly well — wings come out golden and crunchy in about 20 minutes. The controls are super simple, and the digital display makes it easy to set the temperature and time. I’ve already used it to air fry, roast, reheat, and even dehydrate, and everything has turned out great. Another big plus is how easy it is to clean. The basket is non-stick and wipes down quickly. If you're looking for a powerful air fryer that cooks fast and evenly, this one is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

It's enough for my wife and me. Still learning what to cook or heat up with it, but it works exceptionally well. Had it 4 years now and it still cleans up very easy. No problems, no repairs, no regrets. We use it in our live-in 5th wheel and it's our go-to favorite cooker or stove, micro and oven. We like the shape for confined space, the quite motor, and the ease of use. Everything works on it. We're very pleased.

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!😛 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!

I think that I've had this for around a year at this point, so I can say that it's at least got a decent lifespan, still looks good too. It's doesn't take up much space, which is nice, and gets things cooked quickly enough. I'm still playing around and testing things with it, but it's able to handle a variety of foods well enough. It makes a surprisingly good baked potato if you're only wanting one or two, depending on the size of the potato. Cleaning is fairly simple too, so long as you do so regularly, if you let it build up, expect to put in some effort scrubbing before throwing it into the dishwasher, but it's solid enough that you can put some muscle into the scrubbing without worrying about damaging it.

This was the first air fryer I bought, but I have used others. It works really well, cooks really fast and cleans up nice. Pretty big inside. Kind of square so you get more food in. We make pizza (frozen and homemade), fries, tots, chicken, pork, steak, hot dogs (especially good) and probably lots of other things I cannot think of right now. It is a great way to heat up leftover breaded chicken and fries if you want them to still taste good. The only improvement I can think of is that it is hard to clean up inside on the top where the heat comes from. I wipe it regular so it doesn't build up, but I feel like if you didn't think of it - after while it might build up and die. It also causes it to smell like you are burning food if you do not clean it once in a while. Works really great and we love it. Looks ok on the counter too. Saving so much electric not turning on the oven because we do not use microwaves. If you have never had one, this is a nice larger one. Do not be afraid to try an air fryer, there are a million recipes on the internet for just about any kind of food and it comes with a little cheat sheet.

Very good air fryer, but the basket felt a little cheap in my opinion, and for the price, you can get the Ninja dual basket, which comes with a thermostat. Not sure how this product is positioned.

Pros It’s not heavy or bulky as many other air fryers. I store it in a cupboard when not using , so being able to pull it out & put it back in the cupboard with ease is important to me. It’s super easy to operate & clean . Food glides right off. So far it seems to cook everything well. Fresh fries & frozen fries came out great. Also air fried fresh vegetables that turned out great too. Haven’t tried any meats so far but I prefer, oven or grill for that. Heat level work as good as any other cooking appliance. Like any, sometimes you need to adjust the time to get it cooked as crispy as you like it. Cons? None really, other than I wish it came in a white or off white .. I’m sort of tired of black alliances , but not a deal breaker.
