   Expensive, but worth it.
    This thing is the bomb-diddly. I like my counter tops clean and clutter-free, and normal air fryers just take up too much space to leave out. This tip-up function is pure genius. You get a huge interior air fryer, toaster oven, or dehydrator that only takes up a fraction of its in-use size when in the upright position.The light didn’t work on the first one delivered, so it was returned and replaced. The packaging is very good, but the light bulb itself might be incandescent as opposed to a tougher and longer-lasting LED. I don’t really know, but it didn’t work.The controls on this are very intuitive, and the many functions are effective and easy to use. There are two LED panels on the face of the oven, and they both have large, easy-to-read numbers and letters. I love that there is a “target temp” and an “actual temp” reading. I also love that you can turn the light on inside at any time to see what’s going on in there without opening and letting all the heat out.The basket holds a ton of food, but you should keep whatever you put in there in a single layer. Still, it can cook 2 or 3 times what average air fryers can cook in a single go. The three heating elements evenly span the entire bottom, and we haven’t noticed any hot spots or had to carefully place bread to get an even toast. It just works, and it works well.You get an air fryer pan, a toast rack, and a very heavy, nonstick baking pan that can be used for anything from frying eggs to baking biscuits to cooking a steak. One thing to note is that the heavy pan must be removed from the oven if using either of the other two cooking pans because the heating elements are on the bottom and would be blocked by that.We haven’t had a chance to use the temperature probe yet, but it appears well-made. The little silicone rubber flap that covers the hole is not great; it’s hard to get closed properly and likes to come out at the slightest touch, but it’s not a big deal. The probe and cord wrap around a magnetic keeper that you can store on the oven itself, so you can find them when you need them.I think my favorite thing about this is that it flips up and out of the way when not in use. When you’re done cooking, the convection fan on the right side continues to run for about 15 minutes until it’s cooled enough to tip up. When it is cool enough, the display says “Flip”. The fan is very quiet, and unless you live in a monastery, you won’t even notice it’s running unless you get right up on it.There’s a crumb- and grease-catching tray at the bottom, which is easy to remove. We’ve wrapped it in aluminum foil, and that’s been working well. The manual says not to use any chemicals other than dish soap, and no scrubbing pads or anything other than a soft cloth. That’s not typically enough to fully clean (to my standards) the interior after grease from air frying has been baked on, so the flip function not only works well for reclaiming space but also to keep your guests from seeing a less-than-spotless oven.Bottom Line: I love this thing, and we use it all the time. We no longer need a toaster, a toaster oven, an air fryer, or a dehydrator. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s worth it. I hope this helps!

   Fantastic space saver
   I am currently on day 2 of owning this thing so, really, consider this a first impressions review.Firstly, the main draw: The flip-up feature. This really is a game changer and was chief amongst my reasons to buy this particular oven. I am happy to report that this feature works very well and gains me back a good amount of countertop space. It fits like a GLOVE flipped away under my wall cabinets. If you have low hanging wall cabinets, however, you’d do well to take a measure before purchasing to ensure you have access to this feature. This is what sets it apart from other products IMO.Secondly: The power cord. Its bad. Specifically, when plugged in, the power cord extends straight out from the wall and I think the manufacturer absolutely, positively should have opted for a low profile plug-in, especially since this is designed to flip-up to stow away. This is a serious negative as you’re not able to place this in front of the power socket its plugged into without the front of the oven protruding past the countertop and nearly falling off. If you have a very small kitchen, take a moment to be sure you’ll have adequate room.Finally, the real test: Cooking. So far, I have only reheated refrigerated pizza and air-fried some cheese sticks. To that end, this thing is a beast. The controls were easy enough to figure out without needing the manual. It has a great pre-heat feature which only starts running the timer after it gets to temperature, which is FAST. When set to 450F, pre-heating was less than 2 minutes. I was impressed. The food came out exactly as I hoped. They aren’t kidding though, watch your food carefully when you first get it. Use the light. It can quickly burn your food if you’re not familiar with convection and don’t understand the lower cook times.My only other negative is theoretical: Cleaning. I don’t think it will be TOO difficult, as the bottom tray is easy to lift out, but if you DON’T clean regularly I can easily see crumbs and debris piling up in the back when the oven is flipped up. I think the solution is probably just being proactive with cleaning it. For the lazy, maybe avoid this one.Overall impressions are very very good and, at the time I’m writing this, I’m not mad at the $170 sale price either. Go, Ninja, Go.
