I started, doing research for a air fryer.  I looked at the competition, and all had and trade all the reviews.  Most of the reviews stated that the Ninja XL was very noisy.  That was the only complaint.  So the rest were great reviews.  I was looking for something, that would cook everything I wanted it to. I also wanted a temperature gauge.  so that is another plus.    So after receiving the machine, when I used it I was expecting it to be so noisy.  And it isn’t bad.  People, using that for a excuse to give it a 4star.  Well it is nothing like people stated.  I love everything about this machine.  The food comes out so! So good.  So if you are debating, on purchasing this machine.  Don’t wait any longer, it is so awesome.   Enjoy!!!  And eat healthy.
