Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven that Flips Up: Does It Really Work? 

Cathy's got a new toy, that she seems to be lovin' It's new Ninja Foodi's, Digital Air Fryer Oven (The name of this thing, although I've had worse Was no easy job, to contain in a verse) First and foremost, it takes less counter space Which keeps it in Cathy's, kitchen's ever good grace From cookies to wings, it cooked like a dream And you know Cathy likes, that it's easy to clean Except for the mesh, which took extra time With toothbrush in hand, she got all that grime She made a nice batch, of low carb type chips Though one made a break, to escape from her lips Broccoli and pizza, and spuds were a hit And a Michael Scott moment, about the toast and the fit When it comes down to pizza, I'm far from a snob Papa John's is just fine, Domino's does the job I really like b-b-b-both, please pardon my stutter As long as the box, has that warm garlic butter

I just got a Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fryer Oven a few days ago. Your review helped a great deal make my decision. I have a Phillips XL Air Fryer 3 qt. but you can't do as much in it. I've not done a sheet pan meal yet but I'm excited to do it. Just 2 of us at home. Made toast & Bagels great. Very quiet machine which I like as well as not heating up the house. We both can see the potential in it. Thanks.

I have this very product and it’s phenomenal and then you just fold it up and it’s out-of-the-way. Great space saving technologies with lots of options. Can’t say enough good about it.

I purchased one just over a week ago and love it. I'm a 64 year old widower and standing around in the kitchen waiting for dinner to cook isn't my idea of Heaven. I have cooked chips, sorry fries in it. I've had a go at toasted hot cross buns, chicken vegetables and so on. My only criticism of it is the preheat to cook part of its cycle. It would be a lot better if the designers had done the same as the ninja foodi, when you open the front the timer stops. You have to stand waiting for it to reach working temp then open the door put you food in and shut the door as quick as you can as the timer doesn't stop once it reaches working temp. Other than that, I can't find anything wrong, other than it doesn't bring your food to you. Ah well, version 2.0 will have that fixed.

I have the Ninja Foodi indoor grill. It also air fries, roasts, bakes, and dehydrated. Great product.

You just convinced me NOT to cook wings in my new Air Fryer oven. I'll keep using my pellet smoker and keep the mess outside. Very complete review... Thank you

You can use parchment paper in the lower tray under the air fryer basket to help with clean up and also I have an AF which is the pull out basket drawer type and I put a slice of bread underneath the basket to help absorb the grease when cooking chicken with skin on.

"Yes I must have it" Love it!

Excellent demonstration and review. I'm quite happy with mine and find I use it more than expected. Favorite pizza may be the garlic chicken pizza on cauliflower crust from California Pizza Kitchen.

Great review. Most of the other reviewers don't discuss deep cleaning other than the basket. That bottom release was very thoughtful

I don't like the amount of smoke it releases when I open the door to shake or rotate the pan. But it does cook quickly. I let the basket sit in the pan with water and a sprinkle of baking soda. 30 mins. later, it all comes off.

Thanks for all the great ideas Cathy! I have a small condo with a small kitchen to match. I love this air fry oven! It replaced my small egg shape air fryer, my old toaster oven, and my NuWave, which cooked fine but was a pain to clean. I can’t wait for your next video!

Thank you for this comprehensive review! I bought this oven for a travel trailer this winter. I love, love, love it! Even tho' I don't generally care to cook, I used it a lot for the month we were in the trailer. Like yourself, part of what prompted me to try it was that it flips up for a smaller footprint when not in use. And it has so many cooking modes. I almost never comment on RU-vid videos but had to here 'cuz of your excellent method of review, including cleaning and demos, plus how much I recommend this product. I had to replace my range this month and got a Frigidaire induction stove top with an oven that includes air fry. Regarding cleaning, I imagine splattery chicken would make a mess in any oven. Otherwise, it's wonderfully easy to clean. The basket here has small mesh compared to my Frigidaire basket. With the latter, I put it on top of my Curtis Stone Roll Up 2-in-1 Drying Rack/Trivet over my sink for both loading, turning and unloading food. For cleaning, I place the basket on top of the rack over the sink, make an initial spray then use my sink brush with a dab of dish liquid to daub soapy liquid, let it sit a minute or two, repeat a couple of times while cleaning other items then rinse. The Compact rack/trivet I have will go into my trailer for use with the Ninja basket. (I purchased the rack/trivet in two sizes on HSN_dot_com, but Amazon has the same by other manufacturers. The larger rack I cut, putting 1/3 between the elements on my stove top and the 2/3 portion on top of the sink.)

Thanks so much for the review. I’m seriously considering this appliance after watching! I think it will work great for me as a single retired senior.

I currently have a 7 qt PowerXL that I use at least 2-3x every single day....I just bit the bullet and ordered the QVC special for ($169, it’s the 8-in-1 that also dehydrate and warm)....Thanks for the review, I can’t wait to get it!

I just got the Ninja Foodi digital air fryer for Christmas this year from my husband - what a great gift! Thank you for your video so I can get some direction of how it works. I am a very visual gal, so thank you so much! I have the Ninja pressure cooker as well, but since I had an old pressure cooker blow up in my Mother in Laws house years ago, I am so scared to even use it - I will check out your video though and see how you do it- thanks so much!!

I'm super excited I just picked up one of these yesterday at a yard sale for $20! They are still like $200 new!

The biggest drawback to me is counter space...so I like that this is a flip up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is the 3rd review I saw on this toaster but it's by far my favorite. Great job!

I recently purchased the Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven and could not figure out how to adjust the darkness setting for toast. I found your video and it most informative. Thank you for this presentation and finally I know how to adjust the toaster setting. No more dark toast for my family!

If you use a non scratch pad that air fryer cleans very easy! I love it. You can put it in the dish washer and it comes out great, just like new. Or let it soak in hot soapy water works great

Wish more reviews were as clear and informative. Great job! We just got one and I’ve just cooked bagels so far. Came out perfect. Looking foward to making dinner dishes. Thx

I had this product in my small kitchen. The fold up sells you. It did an adequate job. However, and it is a big however,I found it difficult to clean when you are cooking anything with grease - e.g. chicken wings. Also,it’s overall awkward, (that could be me). Longstory short, I no longer have it, but I do have a Ninja No smoke griller LOVE THIS ONE!

I did not get a cookbook with mine. I reheat pizza from Dominos - really crispy crust and it is great - not soggy like the micro. I keep hanging on to my toaster but try it now. I made some one time in the basket not on the rack - have to do that because it would not toast well that way. Great demo - helped me out a lot. I am a single senior and I still bought this one for all it does and saves room in a smaller apt. Oh and I got mine from Amazon for under 200.

I got this air fryer for Christmas and I LOVE IT!!!!

great review and tips! I bought my Ninja Air Fryer at Kohls for $113! Happy New Year!

I love this Excellent product it brings professional results out of this little oven. 🥰 what a great job on my cauliflower crust vegan pizza 🍕 I had to add garlic salt and cayenne pepper and kick it up a notch but man the crust was perfect I don’t put the thing in a dish I just slide it in on the rack take the cardboard out from under it this one came from Costco it’s a great pizza but it Hass to be doctored up and then I baked it when it was done I pulled the pizza or I put the cardboard under the pizza and pulled it out and man was it good I put the oven up on for soup cans just to keep it off my plastic counter in my RV causes air base as it gets hot so it work beautiful. Even with 1800 watts

If you want to clean the inside really well, and easily, one of those hand held steamer thingies work beautifully. Great video!

I am , for sure, buying one of these!

Wish one of the people reviewing this Ninja Foodi would do Vegetables that were dipped and coated. I've seen reviews that have done them and it's good to know that Broccoli dipped in egg flour then Panko does come out great.

Cathy... pro tip for ya: we use something similar to that basket tray that came with your unit. If we have to quickly reuse those trays at the restaurant, a large long hair hardwire brush will usually do the trick in two or three passes 😃👍 or if there’s nothing crusty on it, blast it with the spray gun in the rinse sink will usually do the job 😃👍

Love this thing and I own TONS of ktichen gadgets. It's gotten me to eat vegetables.

I almost just bought this off a whim. This review gave me some great context. Thanks!

Thanks for a great review. It was perfect timing as I am going out to buy a new toaster oven. I almost never use my big oven anymore.

My favorite pizza came from a place, no longer in business. It had garlic butter on the crust, pepperoni, hamburger, onions and green peppers. No pizza sauce! :)

Great review video! Thanks! Just got one today at Walmart on their early Black Friday sale for $129.00. Cannot wait to try it out!

I just got this ninja air fryer as an early Christmas gift. I was apprehensive on how to use it and what to cook in it. Thank you for making this video! I have so many ideas now!

I can’t get my favorite pizza anymore because the ownership changed and therefore the menu, plus I’ve moved, but my all-time favorite pizza was The Kitchen Sink from Stonewall Pizzeria in Llano, Texas. It was their version of a supreme on a hand-tossed crust. Delish!

I just got one of these for Christmas... use heavy tinfoil less of a mess cleaning

As noted in the instructions, spraying the wire basket with Pam saves u from having to use a toothbrush. Great air fryer. Not hard to clean at all.

I love mine! Got it just before Thanksgiving from QVC! I use it everyday from breakfast to dinner! I am going to make a RibEye Steak on the Air Broil setting. Those wings look amazing!

Forget the air fryer I would just subscribe to watch you! Your fast efficient knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to. I haven't opened my air fryer yet but I will update when I try it out! Thank you so much for your review.

Our large, regular oven is gas - so it's far more economical to bake/roast. Someone else (on a different video) mentioned that his Black & Decker toaster oven has worked for 40 years!!! [So, if I thought our B&D (only a few years old) was gonna kick-the-bucket any time soon...] Though we love our Ninja blender, Ninja coffee machine, and especially our amazing Foodi non-stick pots, pans, I guess we should 'flee the temptation' to replace the toaster oven w/ this Ninja.

I just got this as a Christmas present and I have been wanting to try it. This review was awesome, thank you, especially about the air fry rack cleaning. I think I will try the dishwasher method just to see if it is more efficient. The cleaning part was very helpful. Thank you again.

Definitely the most expensive toaster oven we’ve ever owned but also the best! It’s seen every day use for the past 6 months. Best pizza is the pizza I make with the fam! With 7 kids we make a lot of pizza.

You also need to do a follow-up review on these when there are a year old how are they holding up are they still working are they still easy to clean? I mean they look nice but they look awful flimsy. And ask for my favorite pizza it depends if I make it myself I like to make hamburger and black olive. If I go with a pizza chain I used to like Pizza Inn but that's the one near me close down I like Pizza Patron and their meat lovers.

I just purchased this and so far I too am happy! I purchased this to replace my old convection/toaster oven. I've had great luck with my Ninja kitchen items, and been very happy. The only thing I don't have is the Foodi pressure cooker. After reading many horrible reviews, and the space limitations, I passed on that one. I am very happy with my InstantPot pressure cooker. Thank you for the wide range review!

I bought Ninja Foodi Air Fryer at Costco six weeks ago. I really like the air fryer, so far. The biggest complaint I have is you have to be very careful removing the food from the unit and it is difficult to clean because it is so narrow to clean the inside of the unit.

Great review, I just purchased one with the dehydrator. I can't wait to start. The chips idea is awesome

I spray or treat my wings with olive oil and they come out much more crispy!

Ive had my oven a month now,last week,baked a cherry pie in a 9inch glass pie plate,on air roast ,done in 45min, browned evenly,

I just got one for Christmas, I will definitely be using it. Thank you for demonstrating how to use it.😊

Very thorough review. I like it. Love the sheet pan meal.

I just bought this today and your video is great. You make it seem easy to use. i was daunted after taking 20 minutes to get it out of the box along with the styrofoam. But, you changed my mind. Thanks.

I had toaster oven some 30 years ago and I gave it to my dad because I didn't have the counter space, my dad was trying to give it back to me (yes the same toaster and it still works) I told him where am I suppose to keep it because I still don't have the counter space. I loved it for cooking up small meals and rewarming, I am not a big fan of rewarming things in the microwave. oh boy pizza, my favorite is homemade. one of my favorite is taco pizza but they are starting to get real pricy for whats on them, I also like a breakfast pizza, but I think my all time fav is a sausage and mushroom with sauerkraut with white garlic sauce. if made right it is to die for.

My sweet sister just bought one for me. Can’t wait to use it. Your video was so helpful! Thanks so much!

Ma'am, thank you for a real thorough review. You sold me, so I ordered one. 😁

I just picked up one of these. I was skeptical at first. I thought the combo of toaster and air fryer would be a compromise of each. I was wrong. I’ve done wings (Buffalo, garlic Parmesan, teriyaki), chicken fried steak, toast, warming many frozen snack foods. It’s become our most used appliance.

New subscriber here. Great demonstration. This looks amazing. In the past, I have used toaster oven and loved it. I have an 8-quart instapot and was very disappointed when I found out the instapot air fryer lid was just for 6-qt instapot.. 😢 I live in a 32' trailer, at the moment. Counter space is extremely limited. I don't use the propane oven; it is really small. I am working my way to being whole-food plant based. Getting tired of steamed and microwaved frozen veggies. Air fryer seemed like a logical addition to my kitchen. Will look at your other videos. Thanks

So cool you use red potatoes. I think they are the best.

Great review I bought one last month. Still in box. Guess I will keep now after seeing your review

I am so glad I watched your video. It was so helpful. I learned a lot and your presentation was perfect. I am going to try it for only the 3rd time today with new ideas from you.

I've been trying decide between a couple, but watching your video, I've decided on the xl oven. Thanks for doing a video 🙂

I just received my ninja air fryer thank you for explaining and showing how you use your sir fryer I only made veggies snd bagels in it so far . Received it yesterday oct. 27 th. I didn’t get a cook book I will let the company know

I really enjoyed this video. It was very informative. I was on the fence about this one, but, now I have decided to buy one. Thank you for this review.

Just got one for Christmas so i thank you so much beautiful lady for your demonstration of the oven!

My Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fryer Oven arrives today. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for great review!

Just purchased and we set it today, can't wait to use!

It’s not only “toasts” but performs a variety of cooking & grilling function.

Great review. We were wondering how to use and I believe it helped us make a decision. Thanks for a great authentic review. Excellent presentation.

Kathy I just ordered my second batch of flat breads. Luv luv them. We went to a Mexican restaurant last night and I brought my own air fried chips. Yum. Thanks so much for turning me on to them ❤️

I have had the ninja for about 6 months I sent back the emeral lagasse took too much time. I have cooked lots of things some great some not so great. One problem is cleaning very difficult to clean bottom. My general rule is 400 for 4 minutes and repeat The directions for full meal is great the divided tray works nice quick easy meals. Tried loin of pork the best I’ve ever cooked. Fresh veggies are great. Where do I get the taller tray . Cooking frozen home made pizza great crispy and like fresh. Just keep playing with it it’s really great. Brenda

It makes great toast and bagels!

I got one for Mother’s Day, and I made jalapeños poppers and loved it. Also made chicken legs.

U have the best review, explanation, that I've seen on this air fryer yet. Thankyou

I loved your review and this by far the best one! You convinced me to purchase to oven! Your such a natural and an honest reviewer! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Just got one for my birthday and loved your review of the product. Im going to buy those Cut Da Carbs, wish you could get credit for promoting it and surely convince many of your viewers to give their product a try. New sub here!

Oster toaster oven has turbo and fan which is a convection oven, all convection ovens are air fryers

I have the older flip Recipe? Smaller scallops at aldis and shrimp onion rings butter Mrs dash pepper stir when butter melts and onion rings will coat

that's a hard question of the day for a pizza junkie to answer. my go to pizza for trying out a new place is just an extra cheese pie, if they can't get that right then you're asking for trouble when you add toppings. my pizza of choice is an Hawaiian pizza but with ham, bacon, onion, lite sauce(BBQ or tomato), jalapenos and extra cheese (every pizza gets extra cheese). the new(?) Papa John's Extra Cheesy Alfredo pizza was pretty good and I'm not a fan of Alfredo sauce.

Thanks for Such a great and thorough review. I can’t wait to finally use mine the way it was meant to be used

With the chicken I would just put aluminum foil on the sheet pan and cook the chicken right on it and not use the mesh tray clean up would be easier. Good video.

All these new kitchen cooking equipment are enticing to own but it puts me off when it comes to cleaning. It always brings me back to my pyrolitic Siemens oven which with a push of a button will burn all internal grim down to ashes. I think I shall stick to it.

I love any of the ninja products ! They are of excellent quality

Seems a little dangerous with having to take the bottom pan out with the fryer pan at the same time. If you accidentally tip it either you make a mess or burn yourself. Also seems like a lot of work to clean. Only cool thing is that it flips up to save space, but have to wait for it to cool.

You r right about the basket it is the only flor i ran into. Thank you 4 your time maybe someone will come up with a way around that basket problem.

love the low carb chip tip

Watching this madkes me more excited to get mine! Thanks!

You are correct young lady. Best thing ever. Also get yourself an ove glove. Ove gloves are way better than potholders .

My backyard pizza oven makes a dandy pie. Just got the air-fryer today. Can't wait to try it out.

Great video , in my oven i use broil to finish things all the time

Very informative! I like that it’s big enough to make a meal for a family. Fave pizza is from a local place College Hill Pizza Pub where you can create your own and I like wheat or white dough (doesn’t matter) hand tossed with Alfredo sauce, black olives, Kalamata olives, pineapple, 3 cheese blend and feta cheese. That is my perfect pizza!! 🤤🤤🤤

Hey Cathy, great video. Thanks so much for doing the wings. Sorry the cleanup was so tough. It looks like a pretty good oven. Especially the fact that it flips up to save space. A bit pricey though. At Bally's in Atlantic City there is Walt's original pizza. My wife and I were there yesterday and ate a whole pie an x large 18"..yum. I like plain or pepperoni, also veggie pizza with no cheese and light sauce. Keep up the great work. Have a wonderful evening. Be safe

The best pizza comes from Pompeii Pizza here in NJ that my friend owns and it's being a family business for decades...Thin slice 🍕 for me and well done..

Ninja small appliances seem to have a near cult following up here in Canada. This oven ended up being my first Ninja product though my relatives and neighbors all use Ninja Multicookers and one uses the domed air crisper covered grill.

And also after it sets it’ll tell you when to flip it up it’ll say flip on there

My grandma has one and she loves it for reheating leftovers and mod pizza or a local pizza place

Santa dropped one off for us. I see 8 settings on the model we received. It includes all the settings you have plus a "Keep Warm" and "Dehydrate" setting. Model# SP101 LR9 Only used it once so far this morning for bagels.

Mellow Mushroom is my favorite pizza joint!

Great great review, my wife and I just got ours for a Christmas gift and yes so nice of a video!! God bless have a great year!
