I am an avid Ninja fan and have quite a few Ninja products. I currently have the IQ Cooking system and 7 qt. Possible Pot. In addition, I have owned almost all of the cooking systems Ninja has had to offer and have loved all of them. When I saw this cooker with the option of using smaller dual pots I was intrigued and order it. Honestly, I have not yet used this cooker, but have done quite a bit of research before taking it out of the box since I had so many reservations on the functionality.
Yes, this cooker has a lot of functions, but most of them have limitations and preprogramming doesn't allow changes to temperature and/or cooking time. For example, the rice setting is for white rice only. If you use brown rice that requires more liquid and a longer cooking time, you have to find a function that will fit into the parameters to add more liquid and cooking time. Previous cookers have offered a manual setting that cook time could be set manually.
I do like the idea of cooking two different foods in the smaller pots, but at this time, coordination of the two dishes has to be done manually. Knowing Ninja, it is likely they will come out with a newer model that will have a Smart Finish so both pots are done at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if a newer model didn't include a probe for at least one of the pots.
I am an experienced cook, and use my Ninja cooker often, but I am disappointed in the versatility of functions and the lack of manual control in this model. I have decided to return this cooker and am hopeful that Ninja produces an upgraded model that is more useful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Judy,
Thank you for your review.
We're very unhappy to read the MultiPot Multicooker didn't provide the flexibility and manual control you were looking for, ultimately leading to its return. We can understand how disappointing that is, especially as a long-time Ninja customer who's enjoyed many of our cooking systems over the years. We've noted your feedback on the rice settings, manual controls and dual-pot functionality, and we'll be sure to share it with our product development team for future consideration. If you ever need support, please feel free to reach us using the link below.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cool product! I love that there are so many functions. So far I’ve used the slow cook, pasta, bake and keep warm. I’m really excited to use the hot pot function once we have a bit colder weather (still in the 90s where I am). The dual zones is perfect to cook two different dishes at once. We’ve been using this too cook an entree and separate veggie dish during workdays and it’s incredible. I love the versatility, I’d highly recommend this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This multicooker is a must have for any household. When you work an 8 hours job and don’t get home until 6:30pm you want to have something ready to serve and eat! This make my nights so much easier when feeding my family. It is super easy to clean and it was light enough for to take to work for a potluck! Super quiet as well and everything stayed heated until you turn it off! I am so impressed and love it!
As soon as I saw this Ninja multi-pot, I knew I had to have it. I've only had it long enough to make one meal so far. I made fried chicken planks on one side and macaroni and cheese on the other using the recipes out of the book. I felt that the 375 temperature was a little too hot for the chicken planks, I'll use 350 next time. But aside from that, everything turned out perfectly. It made the most creamy macaroni and cheese and the planks were crunchy and delicious. I can't wait to make many more meals in this beauty!
