Mr Ninja foodi 8 quart was a gift for my birthday in March.  I have used it to cook more meals than my oven and stove combined with absolute appreciation.  Our children love to press the buttons to start it once everything is added.  I love being able to walk away once it is on and having dinner ready when I return to the kitchen.   I cook everyday and it has allowed chores to happen faster and earlier in the day because there is less time physically in the kitchen.  I am hoping I receive another one soon as I have selfishly asked to have two in the kitchen to be able to prepare for guest  and family all foods at the same time when we need larger meals and multiple selections.  Making chicken stock at the beginning of the week and having tender meats and veggies is something I no longer have to worry about because it is done for me with little effort.  I am grateful for the addition of this useful and safe addition to our busy kitchen.
