I bought this at the perfect time. It's miserably hot outside, and because I have this everyday cooker, I don't heat my kitchen, and we get great, delicious meals! I am happy, and so is everybody who enjoys the home-cooked meals.
Ninja has the best multi cookers I own 3 the original, the 8qt and this one - I love the oatmeal setting and the Sear/Sauté setting works just as good as the original - just was a little bummed that it didn't have a bake setting but other then that it's a great cooker - love the inside coating food just comes right out no scrubbing which makes my life easier.
I bought this cooker for my birthday in November 2023. I have used lots of ninja appliances over the years, and was very excited about this one! I love it and I get a lot of use. However I do think there is one very big design slaw. The rack that comes with the pot has scratched the bottom of my pot to the point where the coating has come off, only in the areas where the feet of the rack sit. Since it’s been slightly longer than one year, I’m told my only solution is to buy a new pot. I don’t know if I will or not, considering I believe this is a huge design flaw and don’t want my next pot to have the coating coming off as well.

I do love the way everything turns out in this pot. However, I am only giving it 3 stars because the pot itself has a lingering “sour” odor. I have tried soaking it but it doesn’t seem to help.
