Ninja appliances are out of control

r/

Ninja Slushi, Creami, Foodi, multiple ice cream makers, 27 different blenders, toasters, air fryers and I learned most recently grills. They’re probably decently made appliances but every time a new Ninja specialty appliance comes out I can’t help but picture them as something people buy thinking they’re a great idea, only to be used a time or two then stuffed in a pantry. Only to be brought back out for a yard sale or to send to a thrift store.

    I use my ninja blender daily and the air fryer like 5 times a week. They make fucking fantastic products for the price

    I use my blender and air fryer regularly.

    I used my Creami a lot then it broke once, and I’ve been a little nervous to use it since. A little fragile for $300. Industrial ones cost like $1000, and I’m tempted to get one, because I like the ice cream so much, but I want something that “just works” and I don’t have to worry about the mixture being a little uneven and torquing the blade.

    I thought my Ninja blender would be used twice and hidden. Nope, I use it every day, sometimes twice a day. I love being able to make my own smoothies for a fraction of what they cost at the grocery or smoothie place.

    I mean, if they all work well, and are relatively affordable, I genuinely don’t see the problem.

    I’ve had the large air fryer for five years. My family used it at least 5x per week. In addition to crisping up French fries, nuggets, leftover pizza, etc… It is fantastic as a pressure cooker.

    Most meals have something going in the 9in1 air fryer. Almost all leftovers are reheated there too.

    Definitely unpopular best coffee maker on the market

    I have a foodie and I love it.

    Our slow cooker aged out, and I bought the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker. Love it! Like our Instant Pot, you can saute meat, etc., before setting things up for a slow cook. And it’s huge.

    Wait until the OP learns about Cuisinart, KitchenAid, and Black & Decker.

    My ninja crispi is my most used appliance. People can buy what they need

    But they are all right. Had couple thing from them and it was decent quality

    This is a weak take. If someone buys the appliance, it’s up to them to use it. Who cares if they use it one time or 50 times? That’s their prerogative.

    Ninja is just making available multiple appliances to cater to those people looking for something, they’ll know it’s decent quality because it’s the ninja name. It’s called business.

    No one says anything when Hershey’s releases a new chocolate or lays releases a new chip. Why are you so focused on ninja?

    Hah, funny enough, I dumpster dived one of those Ninja flip air fryer ovens last night. Works fine..I guess the owner got tired of all the room it took up.

    Guess you won’t be getting homemade ice-cream at my house! Prick.

    What are you talking about? You’re upset about a company that makes generally good products that people enjoy using?

    they were made for overconsumption

    Use our ninja air fryer at least 5 times a week (4 people live in the house). Someone is always using it. Can’t speak for their other products haven’t ever used them. But their air fryers are solid and it’s used way more than the microwave or toaster taking up space

    I got the ninja swirl ad directly under this post. I have never heard of anything but the ninja air fryers until this post so I guess Reddit decided to prove your point.

    Ngl, I have several and regularly use them. They make amazing products and have not had one bad experience with any of them.

    My issue with them is how expensive replacement things are. My food processor bowl broke and it is like $70+ for a new one. Fuck that. I bought a dedicated food processor for $100.

    The Ninja soft serve maker is a top 5 dream appliance rn lmao

    Our Ninja coffee maker is the best coffee maker I’ve ever had. And I haven’t even used it in “pod” mode yet.

    The cerami really is the only home grade pacotizer on the market and it’s way more affordable than the paco jet.

    Sometimes diversifying is good.

    When general electric went from making appliances to releasing the m134 it was an absolute banger.

    Have you tried a Ninja Foodi? Screw all the other appliances, the Foodi is an everything in one. Perfect.

    Ninja Combi owner🤣 We bought the combi thinking it would be a one-stop-shop for all the appliances we needed at the time, and our counter space is really limited. In a way, it is essentially an all-in-one. It’s also totally un-intuitive to use and ruined a lot of meals. There’s an unnecessarily loud beeping tune that it plays when it’s starting and stopping that is like nails on a chalkboard. It did almost end up in the trash when we first got it, but man when it works as intended…the kitchen smells incredible and the food is PERFECT.

    A company making products is out of control? Don’t buy a product if you don’t think you’ll use it, how is that the fault of the company that people can’t think before buying something.
