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.

I've been using this air fryer for over 9 months now, it's great. The max crisp works so well, it's unbelievable. It's not too heavy, so it's easy to store in a cupboard, and very easy to clean. Everything I cook in this air fryer comes out perfectly cooked. I had different brand with 1600 watts, which I found not sufficient, the 1750 watts makes a huge difference. Yes, the basket is quite high to make it 5.5 Qt, so shaking or turning is necessary, especially if you have layers of food. A shake or turn reminder half-way cooking time would have been nice, but paying attention and tending to my food is a good exercise for the brain. I also like that it has no pre-heat feature, because it makes the machine determine when you put your food in, which can be inconvenient sometimes. I simply turn it on and after 3 minutes or so, add the food. The crisper plate is wearing a bit without scrubbing or using harsh chemicals, that's the only negative comment I can make. Five star air fryer for me.
