Ninja Combi™ All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, and Air Fryer Bundle

I am a Ninja fan and have, or have had the majority of their products. I also tend to research their products before I buy them in an effort to avoid duplication of functionality. I did buy the Ninja Speedi thinking it would be nice to cook a couple of foods at one time. I did use the Speedi a couple of times. Once to steam and crisp a whole chicken and once to air fry French fries. Both came out very well. The problem I had with the Speedi was that cooking two foods required one to be below the other and there was no way to monitor each food being cooked, and there was too much trial and error.

This Combi oven is basically an upgraded Speedi cooker that is much more versatile and, in my opinion, easier to use. It has the same functions and settings as the Speedi, but the ability to open a door on the front presents a whole new world of possibilities. I have used this cooker a few times since I got it and have not yet explored all the possibilities.

So, what do I love about this cooker/oven.
1) It opens from the front and has a window to view food as it cooks.
2) The steam and crisp function should be called a steam and brown function. I have used this function to reheat meats, such as leftover roast, chicken, etc. that had been frozen and thawed. The steam keeps the meat moist, and an external thermometer keep it from being over cooked.
3) It works great as an air fryer as did the Speedi.
4) The steam and crisp works as well as my more expensive Anova oven to cook leftover meats and for fish filets. For this, I use a Meater thermometer to monitor internal temperature. The steam and crisp also works well for refreshing stale bread and rolls, especially French bread. The result is a soft inside and a crispy crust.
5) This oven is large enough to cook a 5 lb. chicken using the steam and crisp. For this purpose, an external thermometer should be used as the suggested times in the manual tend to overcook the chicken.
6) Other than taking 7 minutes to build steam for the steam and crisp function, this oven does not require preheating.
7) What I have cooked in this oven so far is done surprisingly faster than in my other ovens.
8) The ability to reheat proteins, full meals, and casseroles without drying them out or changing the texture of the food is worth it’s weight in gold.

As with most new cooking appliances, there is a learning curve. Getting recipe ideas from the provided recipe book is a good way to get familiar with the capabilities of the Combi Oven. It should also be noted that recipes for the Speedi will work as well in this oven. Once you become familiar with this oven, it becomes easier to plan your own dual level meals. For the dual level meals that cook rice or pasta in the bottom pan, you still need to use a different bowl for serving. I sometimes use Rica-a-Roni or Knorr pasta sides that I can cook in the microwave in the serving bowl and not dirty another pan.

Overall, I very much like this cooker over the Speedi and would recommend it if it supplies the functions you need. I will update this review if my opinion changes, and hope this review was helpful for you.

This thing is massive. I had a Ninja Foodie before and even though I was still using it I decided to replace it with this one. That actually meant rearranging my 1950’s kitchen because it would not fit on my counter because it is a LOT taller than the foodie.

There is a learning curve to cooking with this. There are so many combinations and each one works a bit differently. Not only are there so many variations the time to cook things is different. For example, if you bake something combi bake you’re supposed to do it for 25% less time than normal – I learned this the hard way by burning the outside of my chicken.

I did make the meatloaf loafs borrowing bits and pieces from the included recipe book and they came out really good, almost crispy on the outside and moist in the middle.

When you air fry you do not have to pre-heat but you do have to add extra time at the end to account for this. If you use the tray inside the pan that is recommended it is nice because it gets both the top and bottom of the items you’re frying but it also means you can’t fit as much in the pan.

This is going to take me a little more practice to get it down but I feel like when I do it will be a well used appliance in the house.

My only complaints right off the bat are
– I wish they included more recipes in the included book, there are quite a few but really only 4 or 5 per cooking style and because this is so new there aren’t really any recipes online yet.

– The switch to go from combi cook to air fry is really hard to read because it is silver against gray. It might just be the lighting in my kitchen but both my husband and myself have a hard time reading it.

Good things:
It cooks quick
It is very quiet – especially compared to the foodie
Air fry is very crisp and no preheat
You can cook a whole meal all at once – it’s just going to take me time to figure out the right combinations

We purchased this to replace our Ninja pressure cooker all in one, which will still use when we need to pressure cook things or slow cook things but man can you cook a lot of protein in this guy and boy howdy is it cool to be able to cook rice and pasta without thinking too hard about it. I’ve been very excited to receive this and it definitely exceeds expectations!

I Don’t leave reviews, but let me tell you if you are a busy mom like me , work all day and then have to come home to cook full meal . This is a game changer. You can cook full meals in 15 mins. I have done rice , pasta, ribs, chicken and even baked cookies. Don’t think about it twice and buy one.

Disclaimer: I received this item for free from the Vine program. I didn’t get paid for the review and, in fact, I Pay 45% in Federal and State Income Taxes for each item. I apologize that I don’t include pictures but I have a genetic trait that causes my hands to shake.

I’m a 74 year old widow, who lives alone, and not that much into cooking for myself. I no longer want to lean into the oven and pull out heavy pans while I’m straddling the oven door. I’m in a large, custom-built home that had only “their” below counter storage plan, not mine. My body is riddled with arthritis and my back suffers from osteoporosis and stress fractures. I have a very difficult time getting down, on my hands and knees, to grab the pots and pans, and various small appliances. And Yes! I must now struggle to get off the floor and back on my feet.

I’m hoping the Ninja SFP701 Combi All-in-One Unit will be my answer. This Unit can cook large quantities or can handle recipes cut in half. I do love leftovers so having excess is no problem. Using the Ninja SFP701 Combi All-in-One reminds me when I purchased my first microwave oven in 1980, the ones that were huge in size, weighed a lot, and cost about one half of a month’s salary. The Microwave came with a very limited number of recipes and I actually took classes held in people’s homes.

So, I’m overwhelmed by the Ninja SFP701 Combi All-in-One that comes with a few recipes and a sheet with suggestions for building my own Combi Meals. After cooking for over 60 years, I still like to read recipes and I’m no longer that creative. My kitchen area is still under “construction” as I abandon the stovetop/oven, toss aside the toaster, toaster oven, multitude of casserole dishes, the everything pressure cooking pot, duplicate and triplicate of various cooking utensils, and eliminating most of my pots and pans. In the meantime, I’ll search for recipes that look good and appropriate videos.

I could not wait to give this Review! I could not be more pleased about the Ninja Combi. Seriously, so easy to use. The step by step Delicious Recipes and easy directions as to which function button(s)to push rates this product #1 in my book. It’s very attractive in appearance and does not take up a lot of room, yet I can prepare a large meal in no time. I Love It and highly recommend it.

Need more recipes to learn how to make combi meals. If you aren’t careful you will ruin dinner in this cooker it’s really time consuming when making combi meals.

A very nice multi-cooker that I will be using to replace my air fryer and small oven with! I love that it serves as a large size air fryer/oven, can cook combi-meals within 15-20 minutes, steam vegetables at the same time as cooking proteins, the list goes on. I am excited to use this to bake cookies etc. during the holidays!

Here are some thoughts on this overall:
Likes:
– Very easy to use touchpad
– Smooth handle to open and close
– attractive, compact design
– comes with 3 trays for multipurpose use and are very easy to clean
– large enough with good amount of space
– multi-purpose!
– evenly air fry/heat

Some drawbacks:
– Interior height is about 5.5in — I wish it was just an inch taller on the inside to maneuver the trays easier
– having to open the door then pull out the trays to check the food sometimes — making sure I have a mitten whenever I use this
– so far I notice the smell of salmon can permeate the room when air frying, the smell is much more noticeable than other air fryers I’ve used, though it is similar when cooking stovetop

I definitely recommend this Ninja Combi Multicooker. It is my 2nd favorite appliance in my kitchen, right behind my espresso machine!

Boy is this a tough one to write. We love our Ninja products in our home. But this is the first that just wasn’t love.

My husband and I enjoy cooking and make things from scratch as much as we can with four little ones running around the house. This cooker just didn’t make quality enough combinations for us. Sure, the meals were fine. Sort of like what you’d expect a tv dinner to be. But cooking the two different types of things in this made at least one of them just slightly not as good as it could have been. And the amount of pasta or rice it made was sooo much, even for my family of six. We found that we had to adjust those amounts significantly. The portion sizes didn’t work well for us. Flavors were fine and could easily be tweaked, textures were slightly off pretty often. Not to mention the top tray is SO difficult to clean. Especially after chicken.

Oh, I wanted to love this machine. What a neat idea. I think for others who really rely on simpler meals that require less prep (and don’t mind a bit of repetition) that this could be a game changer. Just wasn’t a winner for us. I wouldn’t consider us picky eaters by any means. But man, we love good food and would rather put in the extra effort (or just use our Foodi).

I prefer the ninja speedi over the ninja combi I think the height should be wider on the inside of the oven and sautéing would be more complex for ex. If u Needed to chop hamburger it’s not worth the price. The bottom button area scrapes on bottom when sliding pan in and out making marks on big pan on inside of the bottom unit and u can hear it scraping when sliding the pan in and out from the lowest level design flow
