I recently purchased an air fryer for the first time for my condo, and it has been a game-changer! It works incredibly well and is so practical. I can now make delicious, healthy meals quickly and effortlessly. The convenience of using an air fryer has truly saved me so much time and effort in the kitchen. This model is perfect for 2-4 people, so there’s no need to buy a very large one that would take up unnecessary space on your countertop. I am absolutely amazed by how well it performs and how easy it is to use. I highly recommend this air fryer to anyone looking to simplify their cooking and enjoy tasty meals.

- Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2024Verified PurchaseI got rid of the toaster oven and the microwave, they just aren't needed any more with this machine that does it all.
This fryer reheats sausages on " reheat" in 2 minutes , makes great fried potatoes in 7 minutes, a thick porkchop in 9 minutes, and all without grease. The meat stays very moist and tastes so good and cleanup is so easy with just that bucket to wash out. The stovetop stays clean.
I love this machine, I wish I had bought one a long time ago. I use it all the time now. I couldn't resist the sale price but even at regular price it is still a real good deal.
If you have been thinking about it, go ahead, jump into the healthy way to cook, you won't regret it.
The only difficult part is trial and error to learn times it takes for different foods. The booklet isn't much help for that. Be warned, everything cooks faster than you think it will, so always start with less time and go up if you have to. There is a learning curve of course. I've had it a week now and use it 2-3 times a day and I'm already much more at ease with it.

Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2025Verified PurchaseRemplacé la friteuse à air précédente qui avait subi quelques accidents. Elle fonctionne teès bien, est facile d'utilisation, se lave facilement. Elle est compacte et légère et pas besoin de la préchauffer avant utilisation malgré les instructions. La cuisson est égale.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2025Verified PurchaseSeems to work ok for frozen food. Is quicker than heating up a whole oven do more efficient energy use. Was not successful at cooking much else but I don’t think that was a reflection on this particular air fryer - more me. It is fairly small but fine for one or two portions - which is all we needed.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2024Verified PurchaseI will not deny, the difficulty I experienced with 鶹, in finally receiving this item. But I cannot deny the culinary value and its corresponding speed in cooking items I would have never considered trying before. The top quality of this product is undeniable. The company has reason to be proud. Home made fresh potato fries, the multitude of frozen and fresh products this item can cook at a fraction of the time, using less energy and less mess to clean afterwards…all of this with less damage to your heath. Fantastic! I could go on, but I think you get the message. I am retired and I honestly admit, I am no chef and I easily get discouraged when it comes to cooking. This product has encouraged me to do more cooking, eating healthier and having less to clean after the fact. My only disappointment is that product makers seem, so far, to avoid air fryer cooking instructions. I, however eclectic this to change soon. Congrats Ninja!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2024Verified PurchaseLove this product. Easy to use, easy to clean, works as advertised. Doesn't take up too much counter space while still being big enough for couples/small families. Still going strong, with heavy use over a year in.
The only small thing to mention, I do clean it via dishwasher, the inner shelf is fading in colour slightly, but not to the point of being a concern for health or anything, just mild discolouration. No pealing. Just mentioning given my parents had the same issue 1 year in, so its not just us. But if you take better care, likely less dishwasher use would extend the time for fading.
Overall, couldn't be happier with it. Makes dinners much easier and quicker. Makes me consider other ninja products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delighted.
Verified PurchaseBought this product along with an electronic 2 ring convection hob, we love both products so much we are getting rid of our gas cooker, why keep it?
The air fryer cooks beef, lamb, steaks, chicken in a third of the time the meat succulent and juicy, melts in your mouth.
Our gas oven takes much longer, saving money on gas bills, we have got rid of our deep fat fryer as well...win/win.
Highly recommend this product!!
I have written a review on 鶹 about the hob hope my reviews are helpful to others who may be considering to purchase either product?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Game Changer for Quick, Crispy, Easy Cooking
Verified PurchaseI’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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The gift my mom didn't know she needed - now she uses it non-stop!
Verified PurchaseMy 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!
