Ninja AF080 Mini Air Fryer, 2 Quarts Capacity, Compact, Nonstick, with Quick Set Timer, Grey

It took me a minute to become a believer, but I realized with some practice that in the time it takes me to preheat my oven, my food in this air fryer will be almost done. It cooks fries and hash browns wonderfully, and I threw away the pan of oil on my stove that I used for deep frying. I don't need it, because I can make everything I used to deep fry in my air fryer, in less time, with A LOT less mess, and no added oil. It's a lot more economical to cook, for instance, chicken nuggets, in the air fryer than to heat up the oven, and who wants microwaved chicken nuggets? Cleanup is ridiculously easy. The retro timer switch isn't the most precise, but it hardly matters. This unit is very forgiving. There are just two of us in my household and this is the perfect size for us. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I like the compactness of this air fryer because I am single and I cook for myself. But it is very small... It cannot even fit a small pizza you bought from supermarket in there... It is very easy to clean. It's very effective. But you cannot set the temperature. I believe it stays at 400⁰... So if you to cook it precisely at certain temp, you won't be able to.

... I am glad I did. I had been wanting to try an air fryer but was concerned that it might be hard to return a cooking device after as many multiple uses I had in mind. The Prime Day deal of <$45 solved a price-time problem that Yale economics professor Bill Nordhaus advanced. How many hours would we have to work in order to afford a consumer item? With a price point of <$45, this Ninja air fryer can get consumers to try it out, and few of them will have to work more than 3 hours (i.e., $15/hour) to afford the device at that price. I've been using it for about a week. It already has saved me about three hours of cooking/cleaning time that I otherwise would have had to 'spend' as time cooking and cleaning up after I used this device to prepare: (i) corn on the cob, (ii) yellow perch filets, (iii) brats and hot dogs, (iv) frozen lasagna I bought on sale, (v) coconut shrimp, also frozen and on sale, (vi) bacon, (vii) small potatoes and other fresh vegetables, etc. To be truthful, I sometimes try to reduce cleaning time by using a little aluminum foil platform cut to about 5x5 inches and folded to trap moisture. So the cost of each item is a bit more when I do that. But it's not necessary. It's easy to clean. I have had none of the 'smells' issues mentioned by other purchasers of this device. Recall that this is a trimmed down model I bought to try out for our downsized family of two adults, but large enough to try things out. As an example, perch filets this AM took 6 minutes to cook, and 2 minutes to clean up. Tonight, three fresh Michigan corn on the cob cut in 1/2 required two cooking cycles of 6 minutes each in hand folded aluminum foil 'shelf' I created for inside the basket, no need for washing it. I washed the foil for next use. Lasagna foil was too messy to clean. I tossed it but didn't have to wash anything. You get the picture. Try it to gain the air fryer experience and decide whether you want more whistles and bells with a more expensive air fryer. I'll be watching for a device with 4-6 quart basket and more temperature options. This one has 2-quart basket and 400 degrees F, but I adjust the timer to deal with the fixed temperature it delivers. Not a problem. Most of the time, it means fewer minutes from start to finish. Highly recommended if you want to try out the air fryer experience. If I were a Ninja executive, I'd use it as a loss leader, get people to try it for <$45, and then give then a discount coupon to purchase upward toward a more fully-featured model once the initial experience is positive. The way Toyota marketed its early cars 50+ years ago. Got us hooked on low price Corollas in hope we'd spring for the higher price Toyota Coronas, etc. (p.s. A few more weeks of positive experience and no plastic smell. The fixed 400 degree F setting is not an impediment. I just adjust cooking time downward when the recipe calls for 275-399 F. The 6.3 inch square air fryer liners sold by MT&L via Amazon fit reasonably well (photo) & the height keeps the top edge of liner away from upper level of basket. The round 6.3" diameter Mikapana liners fit inside also, with a little tolerable wrinkle, per Pythagorean theorem. A 5.5" square liner would fit even better, but I'll use up the 6.3" set before I look for something smaller.)

Very small, no temperature regulation. Good for a dorm or single person. Works well, easy to clean. I'll read about the item well next time

Very nice air fyer, but keep in mind that the 2 quarts are pretty small and it does not have a temperature gauge, but only a timer gauge so it’s important to keep an eye on it until you can get acclimated to how high it heats up. Aesthetically it is very beautiful looking, but the basket is small. However, I do like the fact that it is compact and does not take too much of my already small counter space . I did buy this on a sale but even at that price I don’t think it was completely worth it because as I stated several times I wish that it was just a little bit bigger but that’s my fault for not fully comprehending what a 2 quart versus a 4 quart difference was. Overall, I am pleased with this little gadget. I wish it was a little bigger, but since it’s for myself, it’s not a dealbreaker.

i love food. let me tell you!! This lil airfryer fit my needs so well!! Definitely only cooks for one, but that's all I needed. And now, my first thought is always, "let me airfry it" not "lEt'S PuT iT In ThE OveN" or "Let'S NuKe iT In ThE MiCroWaVe." I'm simply obsessed.Only downside is it's always set to 400F. Which is not the end of the world for me. It cooks things fast and thoroughly. And there is a handy timer.10/10 would recommend.

I like this because of its size, it fits on my counter in front of my Ninja Flip toaster when I’m using it and below with my pans when I’m not. It’s great at getting frozen convenience foods done in half the time as baking and crispy, unlike microwaving. I had the best baked potato I’ve had since I bought my first microwave. It takes a lot more time than the microwave but it’s definitely worth the weight. I can’t wait to try frozen hamburger patties, I won’t fry foods in my small apartment but I can use this and avoid the mess & smell.
