Save 32% on the XL model

TL;DR: The Ninja Foodi can air fry and pressure cook, and the XL 8-quart model is on sale for $189 — that’s 32% off and its lowest price ever at Amazon.

Instant Pot is no longer the lone contender in the Black Friday kitchen gadget war. 

The Ninja Foodi seems like it has gained extra traction over the past year. Maybe it’s because Instant Pot released an air fryer and people are realizing that the Foodi can do both without buying two different devices. It’s going down.

Black Friday prices on both devices will have to be wildly low to beat some recent deals: The 8-quart Ninja Foodi is currently $189, which is $90 off and the cheapest it’s ever been. That’s such a good price that the 8-quart model is cheaper than the 6.5-quart.

Should you snag the Foodi early or wait? If you can wait another month or are just purchasing as a gift, definitely wait — the Foodi will likely drop to $100 off or more for Black Friday. But if you’re hosting Thanksgiving and need the Foodi before Black Friday (it can roast whole birds up to seven pounds, BTW), buy it now before the discount disappears. Evidence: The Instant Pot Ultra was at its lowest price ever at Amazon a few days ago, and now it’s back to full price.

Nicknamed “the pressure cooker that crisps,” the Ninja Foodi uses two different lids to achieve such savory results. The bulkier lid utilizes Tendercrisp technology to brown or char the skins of meat, veggies, or snacks without having to transfer food to the broiler in the oven. That air fryer function also means that food can be fried while using 75% less fat than traditional cooking methods. The XL Foodi can also bake, broil, sauté, steam, slow cook, and dehydrate, and make yogurt.

If you need these menu possibilities in your life ASAP, you can save $90 and grab the 8-quart Foodi with Prime shipping for $189.
