It’s crunch time for holiday gifts. If you're wondering what to get that hard-to-shop-for person on your list, it might be best to focus on products they can share with their loved ones. Solo Stove is offering an awesome discount on a fire pit bundle—a great pick for anyone who enjoys time outside—and KitchenAid's iconic stand mixer is still down to just $250. Today, though, Amazon posted a stellar limited-time markdown on a bestselling Ninja air fryer. If they love cooking tasty meals (who doesn’t?), they’ll love this gift.
The Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 is on sale for $90, a 25% discount from its normal price of $120. This discount applies to the 5-quart size, but the larger 6.5-quart size is also on sale for $30 more. The 5-quart model is the No. 1 bestselling air fryer on Amazon—over 40,000 of these machines were sold in just the last month. Shoppers have been thrilled with its performance, and it has earned over 2,000 five-star reviews. If you’re thinking about getting or gifting an air fryer, this is the one to go for.
This air fryer gets its name from its incredible functionality: It can air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate, which makes it a super versatile addition to any kitchen. Cooking for a crowd is easy thanks to the 5-quart basket and crisper plate, which can accommodate up to 4 pounds of French fries or five pounds of chicken wings. Compared to traditional deep frying, air frying is way cleaner (no oil spatters to worry about) and healthier, too: Instead of cooking oil, this machine uses superheated air to cook food to crispy perfection, resulting in foods with up to 75% less fat than old-school fried foods. The basket and crisper plate both have nonstick surfaces, so cleaning is a snap, and the Ninja takes up little counter space (it measures roughly 15-by-11.5-by-10.5 inches). It even includes a recipe book to help you create all kinds of mouthwatering dishes.
With 40,000 sold in the last month, it’s clear that the Ninja Air Fryer is a popular pick, and the glowing Amazon reviews back up its strong reputation—the word “perfect” comes up a lot. One shopper called it a “kitchen essential” with “fantastic performance and value.” They added, “In no time, the air fryer is ready to cook, perfect for quick meals. Whether air frying, roasting, reheating, or dehydrating, each function works great and delivers perfect results.”
“This is perfect…It cooks fast and is easy to clean," another shopper said, while another noted, “It is very powerful for cooking meats and complete meals.”
A good meal is always a gift worth giving (for someone else or for yourself), and the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 makes good meals quick and convenient. And at just $90, it costs less than a fancy dinner for two at a restaurant. No matter who you’re shopping for, we’ll bet they’ll be stoked to unwrap this versatile and user-friendly machine—but grab yours fast, because these are flying off the shelves, and this limited-time deal could expire at any moment.
