Ordered this for myself as a birthday gift and I was not disappointed.  I have already started making items from the included cookbook and the upside down nachos were some of the best I've ever had! This amazing machine does everything you want and more, from simple stews or roasts, to simply cooking bacon much faster than in the oven and tasting a million times better! Who could imagine bacon becoming better than it already was? Im already searching for the big cookbook and can't wait to order all the accessories, and hoping there's a dehydrating rack coming for this model. The wife loves it also and even the little one can help us cook with it.  What about clean up you ask? Easiest dishes I've ever done and I don't own a dishwasher. The bacon grease.... potato residue... even oils and sauces come right off with no pressure at all! 100 Stars out of 10! Think I'll start replacing my other appliances with ninja brand goods!
