Jane's a QVC watcher and she saw this yesterday for $179.98 which is $50 less than Ninja's website and it comes with all the xtra accessories and free shipping so we jumped on it and with their "Qcard" you can pay it off in 6 interest free payments.Not a bad deal at all especially since we've been wanting to replace out tiny Cuisinart airfryer for some time.
 
Cant wait to see it when you get it. Love to airfry fries and such.
 
Sounds like a Great Score, Norm!!
You'll love it !!
There are so many models out there, it's hard to tell which is best for the money.
I love my Smart Grill, but from what I've seen of the others, they all look like they are made well, and do a Fine Job! Have Fun with it !!

Looking forward to using a high-end airfryer that has some real capacity.

After seeing so many of Bearcarver Bearcarver . posts with all the awesome stuff he's done in his I had to go with a Ninja.
 
So it arrived late yesterday afternoon but to late to do anything substantial. Did some frozen Nathan's onion rings,came out great. This thing is ROOMY compared to the tiny Cuisinart we have.

Congrats Norm!!
I was eyeing that up, but I love mine!
Question: Can you cook with a different temp in each drawer?

Yes. And you can put different food in each one at the start and it'll finish at the same time.

Tonight going to do lamb patties on one side and some type of veggies on the other side. Edit...veggies out and couple of whole chicken legs instead.

It also bakes,broils and dehydrates.

Going to be a bit of a learning curve for sure.

Yup---Mine does those things too, but only one temp at a time.
I can make two or 3 things at once, but only if they can use the same Temp.
Yours sounds Awesome, but probably a steep learning curve. I probably couldn't handle that, so I got the one I need.:emoji_wink:

These are a few things I've done it so far and everything was done in the Ninja.

The two whole chicken legs were very good.

The lamb patties were ok but the tomato/oriental veggies were awesome,tomatoes fresh and frozen veggie mix.Going to have to rethink burgers and such as to what setting is best.

The strip steak and vegetable medley were outstanding.Again a frozen veggie mix.

The shrimp/rice/veggie mix was good but the shrimp were a little overdone and bland looking.

There's definitely a learning curve but overall very satisfied with the Ninja.

All looks good from here, Norm!!
You taking notes & keeping records?
I do that until I get it just right. Then I stop making changes.
I don't like to start new every time I do something I did before, unless I want to change it.

Forgot about the bacon cheese onion and scallion stuffed baked red potatoes.These were outstanding!

All bacon from this point forward will be cooked in this machine.Zero smoke and the bacon comes out perfect.

Thanks!

Definitely taking notes.For me its getting used to how fast this unit cooks and then just tweaking time and temp.
