Slow cooker / Air Fryer multi cookers - any good?

[corpjones]

Hi All

At the moment we have a electric fan oven we use for most things, I've seen these multi cooker products which do things like pressure cook, slow cook and air fry with the same device, has anyone used this and would recommend?

We were looking at getting a airfryer for chips, we also do a lot of roast chicken so thought it may be good for that but the additional functions of slow cooking and pressure cooking may also be useful if they work well, advice appreciated :)

I very rarely use my slow cooker although I think I would use the pressure cooker facility if I had a multi-cooker.

I grew up using a pressure cooker and they do make things like curries and stews much quicker.

I always use the Instant Pot pressure cooker and I have my eye on the Ninja Foodie which pressure cooks and crisps. I'll gift my Instant Pot on to family I expect.

I researched getting a multi-cooker, but decided against it. They are very heavy, & would need to sit permanently on a worktop - not good for me.
My separate AF, SC & PC suit me as they are readily portable & easily stored.
A friend got one, gave away all her appliances, but moans as the jack-of-all-trades is master-of-none. The time taken to pressurise & de-pressurise is ridiculous.

I have a ninja foodi and it's amazing, I use it everyday. I got it as a present and didn't ask for it or expect it so was a bit surprised by it but it's amazing and I love it! I use the pressure cooker and air fryer settings the most. I haven't used the slow cooker yet and never used to use my slow cooker when I used to have one years ago.

The Instant Pot Crisp does all of these things. I read an IP group on here, and have read tons of great feedback about it.

Thank you for all the replies :)
