I fought the urge to get an air fryer for years, until I saw this one. I was sold on Ninja products a decade ago. Like everything else from Ninja I have purchased, this is top quality, great price, and dead simple to use.Great results with everything we've cooked in it so far.

Love my Ninja Air fryer. Easy to clean and does everything you need- reheat, fry, etc. Very sturdy and doesn’t take up much room on the counter.

Wow, this thing is great. So, we finally broke down and got an air fryer. I read the reviews and for the money this Ninja one looked like the best deal. Let me tell you something this thing is great. So, it cooks faster than an oven but probably slower than deep frying. It produces crisp, good tasting food that is almost as good as fried.As a fatty I got to say I love my fried food. The air fryer tastes much better than baked and better for you than fried. I mean I can tell a difference now, don’t get me wrong. It is not going to taste like French fries deep fried in lard, but its close.I decide I am going to make hot wings. Good idea, right? Well the first batch came out great. Even better than fried because they were a bit crispier. So, I decide I want to have a glass of wine while I cooked. This was my first mistake. God, I wished I had just went with whiskey. So, I insert the corkscrew into the cork and pop, it broke. Oh well, I thought let’s see what the internet has to offer on alternative methods of wine bottle opening.The first option is to screw a screw into the cork then pry it out using the screw as a lever. Well, I can’t do that because the corkscrew is broken off into the cork. The second option said to use a lighter to heat but the air in the neck of the bottle and the cork will rise out. The third option was to place the bottle in a shoe to not break the glass. Then smack the shoe against a wall. I went with option two. Note this was my second mistake.So, I break out the old lighter and start heating the glass up. Mind you I am also flipping my chicken wings in the air fryer while starting to heat up some hot sauce and other ingredients on the stove for my buffalo sauce. I decided I needed help so enlisted my 18-year child to hold the lighter up to the glass while I cooked. No good, this trick isn’t working.I tell him he can stop we are going to go with option three, the shoe. Here comes the third mistake. I grabbed the bottle. Yep you read that right I bare handed the bottle that I had ben applying a direct flame to for over 5 minutes. To top it off I grabbed the neck. This resulted in the most pain I have ever felt in my entire life. This is the pain Atreyu felt when Artax sunk in the swamp of sadness. This was the pain worse than 10 kicks to the balls. This was real pain. Kidney stones have nothing on my hand at this moment. I was done. My hand felt like it had melted to the bottle.Remember my son that I had help me? Well he is still there, and I must look like a man so I can’t cry, but boy did I want to cry. I haven’t wanted to cry this bad sense I watched “Ole yeller”. Despite the pain and fighting back tears. I managed to place the bottle in my shoe and set it on the table. I am still wanted to try that trick.I then went into first aid mode, hand in the sink water running, ahhhh sweet relief. Unfortunately, that was not to last. The cool water only did so much. I decided burn creme would work. Nope don’t have any. Back to the water. Perhaps some ice. Ahhh flip the wings, run the water, check the sauce wait ….The pot isn’t simmering. Why is the cutting board on the stove look funny? Yep mistake four here I come. I turned on the wrong burner and now my plastic cutting board has turned to liquid on my stove. Hand back in water again. I then retrieve my putty knife to scrape the stove clean. This causes wisps of plastic string to go from the stove to the sink. Hand goes back into the water.At some point my son decides to wake the wife. Did I mention this was at about 1 am? She come into the kitchen and sees me. With one shoe one, a bottle of wine on the table inserted into my shoe. Note she mentions that is the shoe I walk into bathrooms in and its on her table. She then notices the burnt cutting board and an abundance of melted plastic in the sink. She then simply asks “hot wings hu?”She is a god wife and wants me to go to the hospital for my possible 3rd degree burns on my hand but me, being a man, I decide I can tuff it out. She ends up getting me more ice and leaving my son in charge to go back to bed once she understands I am not budging on the whole doctor thing.Anyway, in conclusion the hot wings were the best I have ever made. Although eating them one handed was a bit of a chore. I stayed up all night in pain and now I am out of ice. I never did open that bottle of wine. Also, that air fryer rocks.

Love my air fryer. We use it all the time. So easy to use and makes a quick meal.

I am completely new to an air fryer. I was leaning towards purchasing a toaster oven/ air fryer. I thought it would be nice to have a two in one, yes, more counter space. I have an OLD toaster oven that works perfectly fine. I researched most say "standalone" air fryer is the better choice, Cooks quicker & better all around, verses a two in one. especially for crispy food. I'm not sure what took me so long to get one. I love to cook, unfortunately, it's just for me, kids are grown😩This air fryer is awesome. I have never eaten so many French fries in 57 years! They must be well done just like bacon! Every time fries would come with a takeout order, I would always ask for them to be cooked well done. Seems like a simple request right? Sometimes they even looked well done, but completely soggy! I heat up my fries for 5 minutes and they are perfection!Can't wait to experiment with recipes. A steak sounds great!This Ninja is so easy to clean and user friendly.So it is a pretty big. I mean who wants to lose any counter space?!Super happy with my purchase. If you're thinking about getting an air fryer you won't be disappointed with the Ninja!BTW, very rare do I take the time to Freight up a review! Sadly, because I review everything!

I’ve had this air fryer for 3 years now—one of them is pretty heavily used—and it’s still working perfectly. I’ve made tons of recipes and never had a single issue. Ninja always delivers solid products, and this is definitely one of them.There are newer models with more features, but if you're planning to make everyday favorites like chicken wings, French fries, mozzarella sticks, roasted veggies, frozen snacks, or even reheated leftovers, this one is more than enough. I use it maybe twice a week and it’s held up great.One small tip: it’s a good idea to clean the heating elements every now and then to keep it running at its best. Overall, a very reliable and affordable option if you want something simple and effective.

The Ninja Air Fryer AF101 has quickly become my kids’ favorite kitchen appliance, and for good reason. It’s simple to operate—even my kids can figure it out—making it perfect for quick meals or snacks without any hassle. The 4-quart size is compact enough for my kitchen counter but still roomy enough to handle family-sized portions of fries, veggies, or juicy meats.One of the biggest advantages is how easy it is to clean. Most parts are dishwasher safe, which is a total game-changer, especially when the appliance inevitably gets messy with regular use. I can’t stress enough how much that simplifies clean-up.The unit itself is a dark gray—not quite black, which I wish it was for aesthetic reasons—but it still fits nicely into my kitchen decor. One minor downside is that the fryer continues to run even when the basket is opened, which feels a little unsafe or wasteful. It would be great if it had a built-in pause feature when opened.

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!

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!

This air fryer has completely changed the way I cook. It’s fast, easy to use, and the results are consistently amazing — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I use it for fries, chicken, veggies, and even reheating leftovers. The design is sleek, cleaning is simple, and the preheat time is minimal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to eat better without sacrificing flavor.
