  • Amazing crispy chicken, easy to use and clean
Style: 5.5 QT MAX
Easy to clean, controls are clear and simple. Chicken thighs and wings came out amazing, fries were good- I suspect they’ll be better with more oil. Paid more for this because of the 450 watt (vs 400), and for the amazing chicken it was worth it. Roast cauliflower we weren’t happy with and will go back to the oven. Didn’t come with instructions, just a link to a list of food with recommended setting. But there is plenty of info on internet! Overall very happy! ... show more

  • Definitely worth it
Style: 5.5 QT XL
Love it. Work great and cooks food very well and in a quick amount of time. I use this just about everyday for a lot of different things. My kids also love it and use it too use to use and easy to clean definitely worth it.

  • The gift my mom didn't know she needed - now she uses it non-stop!
Style: 5.5 QT MAX
My mom is notoriously difficult to shop for presents for. Like nearly impossible. She never asks for anything, never wants anything and rarely uses the things I do get her, even if she likes them. But I'd been thinking about how great an air fryer would be for her since she wouldn't have to take all of the pans out of the oven to cook, pre-heat the oven, wait for it to cool down before putting the pans back in while also using extra grease and oil to cook with. My husband I got her this, half expecting her to never use it, but she finally opened it up (we were starting to get a little worried she wouldn't even try it) and was immediately hooked! She finds it very easy to use (she's not tech-savvy at all, but it really is VERY easy and straightforward), versatile (you can make so many things in it including bread!) and easy to clean and put away. It doesn't take up a lot of countertop footprint space, but it can easily cook meals for the whole family (even one thing after another since we have differing tastes in our household) within minutes. It's completely changed the cooking experience for her for the better. She's not hot and sweaty from the oven and doesn't have to haul around pots and pans or add extra calories and fats to the food she's cooking. Since she got it, she's bought herself three air-fryer cookbooks and has made dinner in it at least 3-4 times a week! She's never shown this much interest or excitement out of using something I've given her. It was worth ever penny and more, both because it's an amazing piece of kitchen equipment but also to see her smile when she realized how much it helped her. We still have uses to discover with it since it does so many things, but literally nothing she's tried in it has turned out badly so I'm sure anything else that gets made is going to be amazing, too! ... show more

  • A Game Changer for Quick, Crispy, Easy Cooking
Style: 5.5 QT MAX
I’ve been using the Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer for about a month, and it’s hands down the best air fryer I’ve owned. It’s super intuitive to use—just pick your temp, set the time, and go. The digital display is clear and easy to read, a big upgrade from my old fryer with unreliable dials. It preheats in just 2-3 minutes and cooks evenly every time. The Max Crisp setting is great for achieving a perfectly crispy texture, especially on foods like chicken, potatoes, and mozzarella sticks. The basket is deep enough to layer food, and with a quick shake, everything cooks evenly and crisps up perfectly. Cleaning is a breeze; the basket is dishwasher-safe and quick to hand wash, plus it’s one solid piece—no tricky parts. It’s quieter than my previous air fryer, with just a mild hum. This air fryer’s roomy 5.5-quart capacity is ideal for cooking for 2-4 people, and I’ve been able to make everything from meats and veggies to cookies with great results. It’s been reliable so far, and knowing Ninja’s history with durable products, I expect this one to last too. For the price, it’s an absolute steal, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast, reliable air fryer that consistently delivers. ... show more

This Ninja Max model replaces my old Power XL model, and I am very pleased with its performance so far. The basket interior is easy to clean and setting the timer and heating temperature is easy. The choices of air fry, air broil, air roast, and max crisp settings make this unit much more flexible than my old model. The food results have been excellent too! ... show more

  • Love this Air Fryer!
Style: 5.5 QT MAX
I’m always running around, and the last thing I want is a ton of hassle when it comes to making dinner. This has seriously been a lifesaver for our family! First off, it’s the perfect size. I can cook enough for me, my husband, and our two kids in one batch, which is huge for a busy family like ours. It cooks everything super fast and evenly – I’m talking crispy chicken nuggets, fries, and even veggies! But the best part? It’s so easy to clean! I hate spending time cleaning after cooking, but this thing is a breeze. The basket is non-stick, and I can just throw it in the dishwasher. Total win in my book! The Max Crisp feature is awesome too – it makes everything come out perfectly crispy without all the oil. We’ve been making everything from frozen snacks to homemade wings, and they’re all crispy and yummy. Honestly, if you’re a busy mom (or just anyone who needs quick and easy meals), this is definitely worth it. It’s been a go to in our kitchen! ... show more
