Ninja® Foodi™ 2-in-1 Flip Toaster, 2-Slice Toaster, Compact Toaster Oven, Snack Maker, 1500 Watts, ST100

could not be happier with this product. I use it daily, multiple times a day, everything from roasting vegetables, toasting bread, bagels, banana bread, English muffins for breakfast, baking brownies, or baked potatoes, air frying vegetables, meat, shrimp, cooking fish, etc. The list goes on! I don't know how I didn't have this before. I love that It's way more energy efficient than firing up my entire oven just to bake a potato and when not in use, it hardly takes up any more room on my counter than a toaster wood. Hands down best kitchen appliance and you can't really go wrong with ninja anything

My trusty Cuisinart toaster recently gave up the ghost after more than a decade of faithful service. I watched countless video reviews on the currently available toasters and toaster ovens; my head was spinning! But I learned a lot about how to achieve "Toast Nirvana" from those in the know. First, you need to realize that quartz rods get hotter and toast the outside of bread faster while leaving the inside soft; that's what reviewers call "Toast Nirvana." There are toasters in every price range that use this technology but most only use four rods, even the super expensive ones. Bother to compare the results! The Ninja has six quartz rods and draws 1450W of power (while most toasters use only 900W...). That's as much heat as most toaster ovens twice its size. It concentrates this heat for even toasting. Higher heat covering more of your bread means better toast; it's true! The Ninja also counts down how much time is left based on your darkness setting. It's easy to add time if you need more; just hit the " " key. That's also what you need to do if you are toasting frozen bread. The defrost setting on most toasters just adds time. On the Ninja you have to do it manually. It does have a Bagel setting, however. Flip the Ninja toaster down and turn it on; now it's an oven. It asks for a temp setting. Start it and it will ask you to set the timer. Then it counts down, just like it does with toast. I love this feature! I used an oven thermometer to test the temp and it's right on the money. It gets up to temp in a minute so you don't have to preheat. I've baked little breakfast souffles and mini pizzas; they all came out fully cooked right on time. Just be sure to use a non-stick spray or some aluminum foil if you don't want to be soaking the tray. I know this toaster has been discontinued in favor of Shark/Ninja's larger toaster ovens; it was hard to find, actually. But it more than lives up to it's reputation for producing "Toast Nirvana" in a timely manner. Even with inch thick sourdough bread my Ninja delivers medium brown toast in 2 minutes 30 seconds; it's more than reasonable, I think. If you are a toast lover, who prefers a single long-slotted toaster that accommodates artisan breads, I would highly recommend giving this puppy your serious consideration. I know you can purchase a toaster oven that toasts 4-6 slices of square bread for the same price. It may also air fry. But I think your toast will dry out before it browns. I've also no idea how you clean the inside after air frying in a toaster oven. Those quartz elements are totally exposed, after all. With toast, you just empty the crumb tray. At any rate, I highly recommend this Ninja toaster for the true toast lover!
