Product Price History

Best appliance since the microwave. 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!

Annoying default time. I really don’t like that the timer defaults to 20 minutes. Whenever you air fry something, you’re going to want to preheat the device, which takes 3 minutes. So this is an inconvenience at least half of the time. The air fryer doesn’t have a halfway timer, indicating that it’s time for you to flip your food over or shake the basket, so you’re probably going to want to set it to smaller increments. Like, instead of setting it to 10 minutes, you set it to 6 and 4 minutes, which means the default timer is always inconvenient.You can hold down the button to go from 20 minutes to 15, and then from 15 to 1. It’s nice that it doesn’t take as long to 1 minute as it could have without that feature, but the fact that holding it down for a second still doesn’t result in a useful time is incredibly frustrating. Why not just go from 20 minutes to 5? Or 20 minutes to 1? Or just start at 1 minute!And all of this sounds incredibly minor, and to an extent it is. We are talking about seconds lost here, but there was no reason for it. And they’re not mindless seconds, they’re seconds of focus, as you have to pay attention, because it doesn’t work the way you’d think it would. It’s flat out poor design, and it’s the kind of thing that you’re not going to notice is a problem until you have it.Considering it’s more expensive than other 4 quart air fryers, I’d argue that this alone is enough to make it not worth choosing it over another brand’s. I mean, it’s an appliance. You want it to work and not have to think about it, and this device doesn’t do that.
Ninja machine is good. I just got my Ninja air fryer today. It’s black in color which looks very nice, the basket for the food is quite large so I can probably cook for two easily. Easy cleanup of the basket and outer machine itself. I haven’t cooked anything in it but have looked at the recipe book included and it’s very self explanitory how to put the food in to be cooked along with heat levels and cooking times. I have other Ninja machines and they all perform well (the Ninja blender I have is over 8 years old and still working perfectly) so I expect the same long life from this new machine and some time saving preparation too since I won’t have to heat up large amounts of oil to deep fry foods as I’ve done in the past. You do have to use small amounts of oil to get the food crisp but at only a teaspoon for a bunch of french fried potatoes is going to be a lot healthier than dropping them into a deep fryer. This will be a much healthier way to enjoy my fried foods without the guilt and extra calories.
Why did I wait so long. Had the Cosori for years, never liked the non stick. Hard as he’ll to clean.But did the job , and for the price was happy.Until they had a recall. So in the meantime, while they left me out an airfryer, I had to buy another, went with a smaller one to try out.This basket isn’t much smaller , just more shallow. Which I think is why the Ninja crisps so well.Non stick is 💯 times better, easier to clean, feels way more solid, buttons , controls, and secure when pulling out , or inserting the basket. (Love the indicating little “click”)Foods crisp results are waaay better with this compared to my old one.Counter space is way better, for a little less basket basket depth, as my old 5.8 qt., I gained so much more.Just seems Ninja really “trimmed the fat” design wise. Other brands seem to have unnecessary plastic bulk.Should have bought this from the get go. Live and learn.
Easy to Use. Great brand and it is easy to use. Recommend using it to teach young adults how to prepare meals without using the stove. It is easy to clean but a little on the small side. Can fit 14 drummies at a time. No smell or technological issues. Had it for a month so far. Great for cooking salmon strips. Excellent product for a reasonable price.
Super easy to cook with; simple and does what it’s supposed to. We’ve had this for a year plus now and it works fine. The tray and insert are easy to clean and you can buy replacements cheap if you need them (we don’t yet). We use it two-to-four times a week, mostly to make fries (excellent) or other fried-type frozen foods. (I threw our deep fryer out – super unhealthy.) We’ve made other stuff – chicken, even steak, that are ok but better on a grill. It saves having to heat (and clean) the oven and a pan or sheet. Do pre-heat it – cooks better. And don’t try to cram too much in – the air needs to blow through/around the food. The AF101 makes plenty of fries for two-three big guys. And do wipe the top out every now and then – I wish the heating element was removable so it would be easier to clean.
Compact, easy to clean, great design. I wish this came in an XXL size. The design is sleek, simple, and modern, which fits my kitchen perfectly, but the size is too compact. You won’t be able to cook a whole chicken unless it’s very small. Aside from that, it’s definitely a great value for the price. I used to have a Philips XXL air fryer, which was easy to maintain and spacious enough to cook anything without any issues, like flipping beef or fish steaks. However, that one cost over $300. This one is less than half the price, and I don’t notice much difference in cooking results, except for the smaller basket size. It’s easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and comes with an attachable layer inside the basket that creates a small gap from the bottom, allowing food to cook evenly without needing to flip it too often. Just be careful with the extra crispy function—it definitely makes your food crispier, but you might want to reduce the cooking time from the recipe to avoid burning.
Must-have. This Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. Its sleek design and compact size make it easy to fit into various spaces, while its powerful performance delivers exceptional results without much sound at all.I’ve been using it for several years now, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The air-fried chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, without the greasy mess of deep frying. I’ve also used it to roast vegetables, bake cakes, and reheat leftovers. The results have been consistently delicious.Overall, this Air Fryer is a great investment for anyone looking to cook healthier and more convenient meals at home. Its versatility, speed, and ease of use make it a must-have appliance.
This is our second. We already own one of these. It is easy to use. Easy to clean. We like it so well, we purchased one for our son. It does more than air fry. The book that comes with it is very helpful. We have learned how to adjust cook times for smaller amounts.I highly recommend.
Great Air Fryer. This Air Fryer is the best. I have been on a quest to get an Air Fryer that covered all bases. Not to big, not to small, one that cooked fast and and did the crispy thing. I have tried three before this one and this is the keeper. Perfect size, wattage and temperature range is perfect. Super easy to clean with a nylon brush. Cooks food fast and gets it nice and crispy. I have noticed that it doesn’t always shut off when you pull the basket out. Easy enough to push off though. Not sure if that is a defect but I am keeping it.
Great. It’s a nice air fryer. It comes with instructions and the settings you should use for preparing different kinds of food. Very easy to clean. You can buy a silicone accessory for the tray so cleaning is even easier. It’s on it’s second year and still working like the first time.
Very pleased with this. This air fryer has worked well. It’s best if you don’t layer items so sometimes you have to cook in batches. But it cooks things like frozen appetizers, chicken wings, fresh veggies, etc. well. The booklet that comes with it has some good recipes. It seems very sturdy and of high-quality. I have put the basket and the crisper tray through the dishwasher many times without ill effect.
Great quality and size. Really easy to use and to clean. Great for chicken, fries & more. Very happy, wish I bought it sooner!
Everyday Essential. This air fryer is a game-changer in our kitchen. My wife uses it every day, and it performs exceptionally well. Whether it’s cooking, crisping, roasting, baking, reheating, or dehydrating, it handles everything with ease. The 5.5-quart capacity is perfect for our needs, and the high gloss finish looks great on the countertop. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile and reliable air fryer!
The gift my mom didn’t know she needed – now she uses it non-stop. 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!
Versatile, Easy to Use, and Perfect for Healthy Meals. The Ninja Air Fryer has made cooking so much easier and healthier! I love the 4-in-1 functionality, which allows me to air fry, roast, bake, and dehydrate all in one compact machine. Whether I’m making crispy fries, frozen foods, veggies, or juicy meat, the 4 QT capacity is perfect for preparing meals for my family without taking up too much space in the kitchen.The air frying feature is a game-changer, delivering the same crispy texture as deep-frying, but with much less oil. It’s the perfect solution for making healthier meals without compromising on flavor or texture. The machine heats up quickly, and the easy-to-use controls make it a breeze to cook meals with just the right settings.Cleaning is super simple, as the non-stick basket is dishwasher-safe. Plus, the compact design means it’s easy to store in my kitchen when not in use.This product offers great value for money, excellent functionality, and is easy to use. If you’re looking for a versatile, easy-to-use air fryer for healthier, quick meals, I highly recommend the Ninja Air Fryer AF101! Highly recommend!
Easy to learn, use and clean. It will change how you cook. Bought this as a gift for someone to help them stop eating fast food every day. It has been a game changer for them. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It takes up a little space on the counter but not bad compared to others I have seen.
Fast, efficient and healthy option. “I’m delighted with the Ninja Air Fryer. It is incredibly easy to use and cooks quickly and evenly. It has allowed me to enjoy crunchy foods without the need for oil, which makes it a much healthier option. In addition, its compact design saves space in the kitchen and cleaning is very simple. Ideal for anyone looking for a quick, efficient and healthy option to prepare their meals. Totally recommended!”
A Game Changer for Quick, Crispy, Easy Cooking. 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.
