But with so many well-reviewed energy efficient airfryers already available and most homes already having one taking up valuable space - in my case my trusty family-friendly Acti-Fry Genius XL - does the market (or more importantly my counter top) need another one?

In spite of its many functions, the Ninja is exceptionally easy to program. The lever to switch between air fry or rapid cooker mode is large and easy to flip. Once you do that, it’s completely intuitive to select a cooking program, temperature, and time on the control panel. Many of these Ninja Foodi Recipes and Air Fryer Recipes can easily be adapted to the Ninja Speedi because the functions are the same. The Ninja Speedi also allows you to make full meals all at the same time utilizing both the steam function and the air fry function together. How big is the Ninja Speedi? With the lid down, the Speedi fits easily under a cabinet but when in use, it has to be pulled forward on the countertop to provide enough room to raise the lid. This Ninja air fryer and multicooker comes with a large removable cooking pot and a flat crisper tray.Utilize your Ninja Speedi to make a variety of Ninja Speedi Recipes, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!

The Ninja Speedi has an industrial aesthetic. It looks like a piece of equipment that you’d see in a restaurant or food service kitchen not on a home countertop. While it has some stainless-steel accents, its primary color is battleship gray.Using the “Speedi Meals” setting and the guidelines that come with the appliance, I was able to cook a starch, protein, and vegetable at the same time in less than a half hour. Each of the components came out attractive and perfectly cooked. The Speedi is a cinch to use The Speedi is designed to air fry, steam, or do both at once. Using a combination of both functions, it can cook Speedi Meals consisting of a grain, a vegetable, and a protein simultaneously on two levels. In addition, it has settings for Steam & Crisp, Steam & Bake, Steam, Proof, Air Fry, Bake/Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, Sear/Sauté, Slow Cook, and Sous Vide. While the Speedi is almost silent when it steams, the air fry setting makes a whooshing noise that sounds like a hair dryer on low speed. It’s certainly not louder than your average air fryer, but it does make noise. There are no handles on the pot and the crisper tray

I also like the flexibility. One night, I used the bottom layer to cook rice. Towards the end of the cooking period, I added some pre-cooked onions, pepper and sliced steak, reheating them. Once finished, I removed half of the rice, and used that with a Thai green curry. Any baking pans can be used in the Ninja Speedi that would normally be used in the oven as long as they fit the Ninja Speedi.I was happy with the final result. The liquid from the kebabs drips through onto the rice a little, so just be aware that what you cook on top will slightly come through to the bottom layer. That shouldn’t be an issue, as it is one meal that you’re making.
