New Ninja

QVC has finally acquired the new Ninja combo pressure cooker/air fryer. Many people have been waiting for this and it's now listed with "New Arrivals". It certainly is unattractive; You'd think they could have jazzed it up a bit. Looks like something from a Frankenstein movie. K48789.

Reminds me of a deep sea diving helmut. I don't know why - it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the new Ninja.

When I first saw it, I wondered why in the world would they have made it so ugly-looking!

You can get the same 6.5 qt size on the Ninja website for $199.80 with free shipping and handling.. Many excellent reviews. I love my other Ninja products. Thinking about getting this one because I want to try air frying.

Now that I think about it, I don't think any of my kitchen appliances are that 'attractive' to begin with, so I'm not worried about how it looks - more concerned with how it works and the end result..

You can also get it at Bed bath &Beyond for 191.99 using their 20% off coupon and free shipping or pick in store.

I do have this - got it at Sam's for less money and free shipping. It is certainly not attractive and is very heavy - 30 lbs. So don't get it unless you can leave it out on the counter. I have a counter top between my pantry and wall ovens to keep heavy appliances and I do use appliance covers so it doesn't look bad and is not in the way.

It's a good appliance for me because I am not fond of pressure cookers and this is so, so easy to use that I am more likely to use it. If you use the sear function first it comes to pressure in 5 minutes. And the crisper function works well also.

Like I said, not for everyone, but all the functions (sear, pressure, crisp and slow cook) work as advertised.

I saw it at Kohl's. Big and ugly. Too ugly to take up valuable real estate on my kitchen counter!

Sorry @SharkE, not yet. You spent all your mad money on gold, anyway. I'm not sure you'd want this monster in red. I'd want it to recede into the background unnoticed.

Too ugly and would take up too much room. I'm not interested.

It weighs 30 pounds! Lid is permanently attached and when it's open it doesn't fit under cabinets. Otherwise I've read some very good reviews for it. Several weeks ago BB&B had it on a special sale for around $140.

Sure, it’s not the prettiest....but what it lacks in appeal it sure makes up for in versatility and function!!! This is one powerhouse kitchen appliance. I use it almost everyday. The Aircrisp function is amazing....Pressure Cooker....awesome....it sears, it broils, it keeps food warm...between this and my Breville Smart Oven Air....well, my regular stove/oven has just become storage for my pots and pans.

I don’t have a ton of counter space, but this appliance has earned a permanent spot and well worth every inch it takes up.😊

Yeah, it's irritating to hear David talk about it selling out "everywhere", There are other places to shop than QVC. Even now, if you're a Plus member you can get it from Sam's for 189 and free shipping.

@froggy The Ninja site has it for $199 and free S&H. Someone must think we don't "shop around" for the best prices and free S&H. I'm more tempted to purchase something when the S&H are free. What about you???

@coffee drinker

Yep. I always add price + shipping and buy where the total is cheapest.

You know, @froggy, it really bothers me whenever people "fall" for some of this sales talk. Without elaborating, I think you know what I'm referring to. I try so hard not to impulse buy and generally think about buying for a day or 2. I conclude, in most cases I don't need that item. In the past, I would fall for this talk, but got a bit wiser in my old age. Whenever I could save a buck, I will. Like someone once said, "fool me once, shame on you -- fool me twice, shame on me." How true that is.
