Upgraded My Air Fryer to Ninja Pro XL

My last air fryer was small, and the basket was sticky. After researching the best options available, I bought the Ninja Pro XL A181. It has a larger capacity of 6.5 qt with six cooking functions that are easy to set. I made chicken nuggets. I love how it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The only complaint is that I have an issue with the auto shut-off. It doesn’t work. I'm worried about the safety issue.

Pros

  • It has 6.5 qt capacity
  • Features 6 cooking functions
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • The auto shut-off doesn’t work

Ratings

  • Dimensions & Weight 5.0
  • Power and Performance 5.0
  • Cooking Controls 5.0
