Not Happy with This Appliance
on January 30, 2026
Posted by: busygirl
I don't care for this model at all. The pre-heating function is time consuming and awkward. Having the power button on the left and the start button on the right is confusing. Why should you saute on one side and switching to cooking on the left with multiple selections for timer use and it must be on sous vide to continue cooking This machine needs to be simplified.

Great concept. Poor execution.

Love the versatility but there are two major issues I don't like. One is that the slow cook settings are nowhere near what they should be compared to every other slow cooker I have ever used in my life. The low setting is barely hot enough to heat and takes many hours to cook anything. The high setting is far too hot and results in boiling the contents, evaporating any sauces in the dish. For example I tried making a pot roast. The sear worked very well and saved using a separate skillet. However, when I switched to high slow cook, I discovered the sauce was rapidly boiling and reducing after only an hour! This is FAR too hot to be useful. I lowered it to the low setting and it then appeared to not be cooking at all after another couple of hours. So I switched back and forth each hour from high to low which is ridiculous. I can't trust this thing enough to leave it unattended. This really defeats the purpose of the timed cooking.And that's another issue - the low cook setting refuses to go below 6 hours. I found a workaround for this by setting it to high cook at my desired time then lowering the temp to low after starting it. Again, a ridiculous limitation. This appliance has some great features. Unfortunately, they are severely shadowed by poor design. Hopefully future models will fix the defects of this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.
We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with the slow cook settings. We understand how frustrating it must be when Low doesn’t cook consistently and High runs too hot, especially when you want to leave a recipe unattended. We also understand your concern about the minimum time limit on the Low setting and the workaround you’ve had to use. However, while we’re glad you enjoy the versatility and searing feature, we’re sorry these design limitations have affected your experience. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our product teams for future improvements.
We’d recommend that you refer to our self-help guide here to help troubleshoot the issue you’re experiencing: https://support.sharkninja.com/en-CA/article/MC1000-Series-Ninja-Foodi-PossibleCooker-Pro-Troubleshooting-Guide-ca. If the steps are unsuccessful, please follow the directions provided at the end of the guide.
Kind regards,

Great, almost as good as previous Multi-Cooker

First we love the Ninja Multi-Cookers (not the round pressure Insta pot like ones; the oblong slower cooker ones). We've owned two of them and have bought another five for our two kids, two nieces, and my wife's sister. Our first one was a pretty basic one (4 in 1). Then we upgraded to the stainless steel Ninja 7 in 1 Cooking System Auto-IQ version. We still have it and love it. We wanted a second one for our RV but they stopped offering them, we were bummed. We tried a few copy-cat units from other manufactures but we less then impressed and returned them. Either to hot, couldn't read the settings, couldn't control the temps, to complicated, missing a feature, etc. While shopping online for yet another (4th) copycat version, we stumbled across this new Ninja PossibleCooker Pro and I ordered it; were anxious to try their new one. We bought this when it was in pre-order. We've had it now for about a month. First, I love the easy to read controls, the larger size pot and the newer nonstick coating. The shape of the base unit is exactly the same as our auto-IQ version, so we can use the smaller pot insert with it. (We had to buy a new cover and insert for our older IQ model as I broke the glass top and we wore out the non-stick coating using it so much). My wife says that this unit would be perfect if two things were different: 1) get rid of the hole in the glass top, it is too big and releases to much moisture (she uses a wine stopper to plug the hole while doing certain cooking - a better idea would be a rotating valve to control the moisture loss - open for soups or stews when you are trying to thicken them, closed for pot roasts, taco meat and baking to retain moisture) . 2) Go back to a non-metal glass top handle. It gets to hot when cooking and you have to use a pot holder to check your food, stir, etc. She uses a silicon alligator grippie as a pot holder. The only other thing; what are the temperatures of the various cooking modes?! They should be listed in the manual or online somewhere. This units slow cook low and high are higher temperatures of their older smaller models. It will boil water on the slow cook low setting. Otherwise we love it and will keep it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just so so not impressed at all

I had the first Ninja multi-cooker and absolutely loved it. The coating is disappearing so I purchased the new one. I’m not impressed with the crockpot feature. The low setting doesn’t seem to heat up enough. Literally had to switch to the high setting to get the meat done, sear and sous vide seem to be the same the instructions suck, some of the timer features are not explained well, heats up way too slow in sear, but the tub size is nice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love my new Ninja-You will too !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ninja does everything. It’s not overly heavy to pick up. Nice easy clean up due to the non stick material. It goes from the counter to the oven easily so you don’t need multiple cooking pots.
My first day I was making my specialty pasta dish. I was able to sauté my sausage- onion and bell peppers until they were mostly cooked all the way then add the sauce to simmer. Then I put it on slow cooker setting for 4 hours. I then add cheese to the top with fresh tomatoes and parsley. I open the oven up and I can pull the container up after it’s finished in the slow cooker setting to finish off in the oven.
I just saved myself having to clean two extra cooking pots since I can do all of it in one Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO.
I know what will be getting used 5 days a week(this).
You can bake and steam. And I’m going to this weekend make a chocolate lava cake in it. You won’t be disappointed having this in your kitchen. And to top it off it’s by Ninja too.

I had the first Ninja multi-cooker and absolutely loved it. The only problem was the timer for the crockpot settings stopped letting me adjust the amount of time needed. So I purchased the new one. I’m not impressed with the crockpot feature. The low setting doesn’t seem to heat up enough. Literally had to switch to the high setting to get the meat done, which actually made the meat a little tougher than it should have been.

A must have for all kitchens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Ninja Foodi Possible Pro Cooker. Wow!! Whomever invested this product, Kudos! The Ninja Foodie is a MUST HAVE for all households in my opinion. I’ve been cooking for 30 years for my family and I wish I’d have had this way back when because it would’ve saved me so much time. The Ninja Foodie replaces 14, yes you read that right, 14 appliances. It replaces your slow cooker, Dutch oven, bread maker, and much more. I’m t has Triple Fusion heat which means it cooks much faster than your regular ovens. You can take your food straight from the Ninja foodie to your dinner table. It’s 8.5 Quarts and 100% lead free, which for me is another plus. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who cooks for their families and are looking to save time while still making a nutritious and delicious meal for their loved ones. I also recommend this product for those who are limited on space. Again, the Ninja Foodie Possible Cooker Pro replaces 14 other appliances. Definitely a win win.
I would recommend this to a friend!
