What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Ninja Foodi 9 in 1 for its revolutionary hybrid functionality. The core appeal is its seamless combination of fast pressure cooking for moist interiors and TenderCrisp technology for perfectly golden exteriors. Reviewers call it a game changer, noting its ability to quickly prepare complex meals like whole chickens. Its robust build quality and appliance consolidation offer excellent value. Minor drawbacks involve the unit's substantial size and the inconvenience of managing two separate lids. Despite these logistical points, the consensus is that the Foodi delivers exceptional performance and culinary flexibility, making it a highly recommended purchase for efficiency.
Know before you buy
The Ninja Foodi uses a two-lid system. You use the pressure lid to cook food quickly and lock in moisture, then switch to the dedicated Crisping Lid to air fry, bake, or broil, giving your food a golden, crunchy finish.
Yes, you can go straight from frozen to crispy. The pressure cooking function quickly defrosts the food, and the air frying function finishes it with a crispy texture in one seamless process.
While the ceramic coating is nonstick and easy to wipe clean by hand, the pot and basket are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the longevity of the nonstick coating.
The unit measures 14.25" D x 16.75" W x 13.1" H. Because it uses a separate Crisping Lid that stays attached, you will need to ensure you have enough vertical clearance under your kitchen cabinets to open the lid fully.
It is designed to be a multi-cooker that replaces several appliances. It functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, roaster, and steamer, which can help clear up significant counter and storage space.
The unit includes 14 integrated safety features, such as pressure release valves and lid-locking mechanisms, that prevent the unit from pressurizing if the lid is not properly secured. It is designed to be safe for home cooks of all experience levels.
