CONS

Ninja BG500A Foodi XL Air Fryer

Yes

All of the baskets don't fit inside the storage. Takes up a lot of counter space. The air fryer is very noisy. There is not a built-in plug hole for a temperature probe in this particular model.

Yes

The temperature and settings can be confusing but there are plenty of online resources and cookbooks especially for this that can help. It’s not that easy to clean - the grill grate and baking pan is but the splash guard and the actual unit interior itself are not easy to clean. there may be cheaper, equal quality air fryers out there that might even offer more cooking space
