The Ninja Speedi is definitely fast.  The steam and convection heat works together cutting down the cooking time is a real plus for a family always on the go.  The functions are easy to switch from and the lid is lightweight.  The cooking pot fits up to 6 quarts so you can prepare a large meal at one time which comes in handy.  The best part is there isn't a bunch of pots and pans that need to be cleaned afterwards.  This is a one stop shop and totally worth the price.
