Best ninja by far

Nice find, super high tech. Love all the functions on it with wide variety like air frying, broil, bake, roast, toast and this is only a few of the many options. Collings nice as well after a while it really does cool down quickly and doesn’t radiate heat out too. Heavy and doesn’t feel like it could get knocked over or fall off my counter.

Ninji the best ever

Thank you again Ninji for yet another wonderful product.
I have used multiple air fryers over the years. All air fryers that should have been competitive with the level of this air fryer and they have not compared. After using this particular air fryer there was no turning back. I have bought this particular one 5 times. We use them at 3 locations and also purchased one for my daughter and a 5 as a gift. The heat consistency is great. Things come out crispy as anticipated. Preheat works well. We even like how it cooks steak. It comes out tender and not over done. From toasting to cooking it’s great. Also researched the toxicity of air fryers and this fell on the safe end which is also important.
It's pretty much a standard toaster oven. To air fry, you need to cook longer and at higher temperature than in a real air fryer. But it's big, so you can cook large items in it, if you don't have or don't want to use a regular oven
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Erbal,
Thank you for your review of the Prestige Pro.
We appreciate you highlighting your experience with the cooking times and temperatures. Using a multi-function appliance can sometimes require slightly different settings than a dedicated air fryer, and we’d love to help you get the best results from your unit. We recommend taking a look at the manual below, which includes guidance on selecting the most suitable cooking setting to help reduce cooking times and improve performance.
We’re pleased to hear the larger capacity has been useful for cooking bigger items or as an alternative to using a full-size oven. Your feedback is really helpful for other customers considering this product.
Love this oven...we use it pretty much everyday . It is small but mighty ....it has lots of features like bake , air fry, roast, whole roast, dehydrate, toast, broil, reheat, pizza and bagel.
For the most part I use it in place of my oven. I only wish it were a bit bigger. I had to use my real oven the other day to make muffins since it doesn't fit a muffin trey. And the small size does limits occasionally, but not enough to return it. It is pretty heavy for how small it is.
It also does get dirty so clean it every now and then to maintain the grease. We have had it for a few years now and made lots of meals with it.

It's not very PLANET POSITIVE if the oven becomes landfill in 18 months.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for sharing this. When a product doesn’t last as long as expected, it can feel frustrating, especially from a sustainability perspective, and we can understand why that would feel at odds with being “planet positive.” Longevity and durability are key parts of reducing waste, and experiences like yours highlight how important that is in real‑world use. If you’re currently experiencing an issue with your unit, we’d really like the opportunity to review it with you and assist where possible. Please feel free to contact us here so we can take a closer look and explore available options: https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us
I have the first version of this oven and it has been replaced by Ninja once and now the second one has died. I am really torn as to weather to purchase another Ninja oven. This one did cook great but I is a real bear to clean. They really should design a self cleanning cycle on these ovens. Because of the fan you cannot use any type of cleanner and if the exposed heating elements get anything dripped on them the oven will fill your house with smoke.
