Love It, but.....
Would RecommendOverall, I love it. We use it a few time a week. The Pressure setting is great, as is the Tender Crisp setting. The one setting that is lacking is the Slow Cooker setting. For some reason, the temperature settings for that particular function just don't get up to proper temperature needed to make a slow cook. So, particular for soups/chilit, I use the Searing function and have to monitor it closely....or pull out the old slower cooker and use that. Otherwise, we made a great purchase.

I wish this was around when the kids were younger
Would RecommendEveryone needs a Ninja Foodi. Makes life so much easier. I will purchase this for each of my children as they move out. My college kids (2) each had one.

The features that do work, functions very well
Would Not RecommendI got this for a gift and was super excited. The functions that uses the secure lid works fine. However, the other functions such as sauté and slow cook do not work at all. These functions have not worked since I got the unit. Very disappointed. I feel like this was not worth the trouble or the hype.

No handle on cook and crisp basket
Would Not RecommendMy biggest concern is there is no actual handle for the cook and crisp basket. Anyone with large hands and oven mitts on will not be able to get into the small openings on it. It says to use teflon coated tongs. These do not do a great job. The air fryer does a good job but I find the air fryer lid having to be propped open when using the pressure cooker to be quite cumbersome. I had a much cheaper air fryer from Gotham Steel and although it is much smaller it is much easier to use with...

My favorite appliance
Would RecommendI researched this product and asked for it for Christmas. At first, by looking at the size it was just something else to take up space on my counter or pantry. Now, it's my favorite appliance. It was overwhelming to start to use but the recipe book and cheat sheet help immensely. My homemade chili takes 1 hour instead of 5 on the pressure cook setting. It steams broccoli perfectly. Perfect chicken every single time (breaded and/or marinated). Cuts my oven recipe cook times in half as well as m...

Stopped working
Would Not RecommendI received this as a gift and after 4 months it just stopped working. So sad to know how much was paid to only use it 4 months.

Foodi FD401 With the Sous Vide
Would RecommendLoving it so far. All I really ever cook with anymore. Just wanted to point out that the quick start guide under the pressure lid section has typos on the Steam, Slow Cook, and Yogurt sections saying to put the release valve in the seal position which conflicts with the actual manual and the older Deluxe model without the Sous Vide option.

Recipe errors
Would Not RecommendWish I could comment on the recipes. Obviously poorly constructed. The mac and cheese recipe has different ingredient proportions from the book and website and both taste awful!! Both turned out soggy and too much cheese!!! Do not make either version. Such a waste of money. And starchy water comes shooting out of valve with both versions. And yes I clean it after each use.

I have the Ninja OS101 Foodi 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer with Nesting Broil Rack, 5-Quart Capacity, but, the slower cooker feature does not work. WHY?

No..just don’t...
Would Not RecommendProblems after first couple of uses. Ultimately does what it says. It’s pressure cook and crisper are all that function properly. From a lot of online and you tube reviews it is the same problems across the board. As with other re Jews sautéed does not work. Less than a minute in sear it flashes vent turns off and goes to keep warm. Crock pot function also dysfunctional. Starts and turns off. Reading problems across the web, I tried a few of the tips. I used pressure cooker function 2 mins and t...

Extremely disappointed
Would Not RecommendI'm beginning to hate my ninja foodi 6.5. Almost every time I use the pc I says it needs water but the steam has built up. This last time I did a quick release but all the pressures still didn't release. I had to hold the little red button down and gravy went every where. I made sure not to put too much water in it. I left it an inch or so form the top so it wouldn't be to much. Gravy was coming out the quick release and the red button. I don't understand why it keeps asking for water and why it...

Cooks everything perfect!
Would RecommendI’ve had this for a month and I’ve used almost every day for something. It’s been awesome so far. I read a poor review saying you cannot cook anything from the book and that’s 100% not true. I’ve tried several things with much success and I have my share of critics at home, myself included!

This is all you need in your kitchen
Would RecommendThis device is everything. I barely e we use the stove or anything else. I am 100 % a forever user of ninja . It does it all and my only complaint, but not a deal breaker, is that the air crisp side of lid is not easy to clean not the pressure cooker lid this is a very hard job cleaning
