Just when we connected it to 220v plug , sparks and boom

Bought 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 Amazon about the hob hope my reviews are helpful to others who may be considering to purchase either product?

Perfect for my needs, perfect size, easy to clean and use, and food is always crispy and good. Get an air fryer and you won't regret it!

Using this since July 2023 and very satisfied. Perfect 2-quart capacity for 1-2 people - handles daily use for reheating, veggies, and small batches. Quality is solid after nearly 2 years of regular use. No smell issues whatsoever, and the nonstick coating still performs great with zero stickiness - food releases easily every time. Ease of cleaning is fantastic - basket wipes clean effortlessly. Love that I can make crispy food with little to no oil for healthier cooking compared to traditional frying. Heats up fast, cooks evenly, and saves counter space. Only downside is the small size limits what you can cook, but that's expected for a mini model. Great value and perfect for small households or anyone wanting to try air frying without a huge appliance.

I’ve been using the Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer for several weeks now, and it has easily become one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. It combines speed, versatility, and quality results in a way that makes cooking (and cleanup) genuinely enjoyable. Performance: The “Max Crisp” setting is impressive — it heats up fast and delivers that perfect golden crunch on fries, wings, and vegetables without any oil. Food cooks evenly, and I rarely have to pause to flip items. The temperature range up to 450°F really sets it apart from many standard air fryers. Capacity: The 5.5-quart basket comfortably handles 3–4 servings — perfect for small families or meal prepping. It’s deep rather than wide, so you may need to shake or toss food halfway for the best crisping, but overall, it’s very efficient. Ease of Use & Cleaning: The controls are intuitive — clear buttons and digital timer make it simple to select modes like Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Broil, Reheat, or Dehydrate. The nonstick ceramic basket is dishwasher safe, and cleaning it by hand is effortless — no greasy residue left behind. Design & Build: The sleek gray finish and compact design look great on the counter. It’s sturdy and well-built, though a bit tall if you have low cabinets. It feels like a premium appliance without the premium price tag. Overall Verdict: If you’re looking for an air fryer that’s fast, versatile, and durable, the Ninja Max XL is an excellent choice. It’s ideal for everyday use — from crispy snacks to full meals — and it consistently delivers restaurant-quality results. ⭐ Final Rating: 5/5 — Highly Recommended for Anyone Who Wants Great Results with Minimal Effort.

My 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!
