Ninja air fryer 8 qt.
I bought Nov 28 2025 as a Christmas gift. My daughter was using it and it smoked the house out . It smelled like it was burning up. I have 2 grandchildren ages 7 months and 3yrs old in the house at the time. My daughter threw it out. Because it smelled so bad.

Very Loud
This airfryer is extremely loud. I almost think its defective because its so loud. My other airfryer never made this kind of noise.

Great cooking results, poor nonstick surfaces
Cooking results are excellent. It heats up fast and it’s super easy to use however, the non stick material in the baskets, especially the crisper trays wears off very fast. Durability is clearly an issue with this nonstick surface.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us.

Not stick coat dissolves over time
In the beginning this was the best purchase I've made in a long time. As it's just me and my partner at home We were using it Instead of our oven . Unfortunately as time goes on The nonstick Material becomes almost like rusted and red And is no longer safe to cook with. It's a lot of money to spend on a device that eventually deteriorates to the point of not being able to be used for safety consumption reasons .

Great item for bigger families
Lovely large capacity, can cook more than one meal in it, easy to clean as anything just slides off the non stick tray, has a safety feature to cut off .

Did you know you can cook 2 things at once?
In this picture you see me cooking salmon and fries 2 different ways at the same time. This fryer is strong and fast. It heats up quick and it's not very bulky. It easily fits on my counter. The inside is nonstick so cleaning it with a cloth is very simple and quick. It's also dishwasher safe so you can wash it in your dishwasher. The timers are easy to set up, each one has their own option so you can't mess it up.

Mixed Feelings
While I really want to love this product it has almost caught fire three times. Once being today. I did not know that food you put in the baskets have to be a certain weight. Today, my vegan turkey almost caught on fire because the fans are so powerful that it whisked the protein up into the cooking eye in that basket. Thankfully I was standing in front of it and as soon as I saw smoke I was able to turn it off and unplug but now my house smells like smoke. This has happened before while using parchment paper, the paper has almost caught on fire. Honestly, I enjoy the time it saves me in cooking but it’s not worth the potential fire.

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re incredibly sorry to hear that your Air Fryer almost caught on fire on three separate occasions. That must have been very alarming, and it is certainly not the experience we want you to have with our products. Lightweight foods can sometimes move around inside the air fryer due to the internal fan. For items that may shift, you can gently secure loose pieces, such as the top slice of bread on a sandwich, with wooden toothpicks to help keep everything in place. If you wish to speak with us further, you can use the link below to contact us. https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

Anything 2 in 1 and im SOLD⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Was definitely skeptical by the whole air fryer hype not gonna lie. But you gotta admit frying without oil sounds too good to be true right? It probably is but we did it guys. And this air fryer is a 2 in 1 definitely get if you have a large family or even more than one person in youre home.

Worth it
This is used pretty much every day in my house, usually on the air fryer setting. It's so nice to have to dual zones! You can set different temps for each zone AND set it so if one item takes longer, you can have the other one start later to finish at the same time. I've been meaning to use the dehydrator option to make my dog some treats, but haven't gotten around to it, but it's cool that it's an option! Super easy to clean. The baskets and the little shelves the food sits on come out. Dishwasher safe but I recommend just hand washing and drying. Doesn't get extremely hot to the touch on the outside (inside is, of course). Moderately noisy, can hear the beep from another room when it's done so you don't have to hang around in the kitchen the whole time.
