Here's why it's worth the investment this winter, and why it may even persuade you to retire your oven altogether...

Why we rate it

For starters, having a single gadget that can cook a variety of meals in so many ways is a money-saving win – no need to buy loads of different bits of 'equipment'.

As for the size, it has a 7.5L capacity with a 4.7L cook and crisp basket. So you can feed the family, cook for a dinner party or make food in batches to freeze.

Frankly, it has most people's cooking needs covered. With nine cooking functions, it can pressure cook, air fry, slow cook, steam, bake/roast, sear/sauté, grill and dehydrate. You can even make yoghurt.

What the reviews say

With 1,000 reviews (85% of which are five star) shoppers can't believe how easy the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker is to use, and how much time and money it saves them.

One shopper even described it as "the best cooking pot" they've ever had.

  • "I love love looove this machine!...I was worried that maybe an all-in-one machine wouldn’t be as good as a dedicated air fryer, but it my opinion it is excellent! Plus I never heard of a pressure cooker before but it is seriously amazing! The cooker is so user-friendly and just nice to use (everything clicks when it should, it doesn’t have a silly touch screen etc.). Highly recommend!"

  • "The best cooking pot I ever had, I stopped using my regular cookware."

  • "Cooks food so quickly, no loss of taste [and] saves on time. Roast dinner in 30 minutes. Potatoes come out nice and fluffy. Slow cook option is brilliant just leave food in to cook and keeps it warm once finished cooking."

  • "The perfect choice for busy people. Easy to use. Fast and perfect cooking and baking. Well spent money."

  • "Very versatile. I manage to cook for 4 using it. Highly recommended as it uses very little electricity too."

  • "I bought this product almost a year ago and i cannot be more happy about my decision. The cooker is amazing. It cooks really healthy, faster than anything and on the top of that delicious. If you are looking for a cooker I would recommend 100% Ninja multi cookers."
