Review Text: A lot of promise but very confusing. I had high hopes for the Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 Pressure Cooker with SmartLid. Overall, it does what it is supposed to do. My issue was figuring it all out. First, the unit is a LOT bigger than you might expect and is very heavy so likely a 'permanent' countertop device. Secondly - while very robust and full of a variety of recipes, it's very unclear how to separate recipes if you are only cooking one thing at a time. Example: there is a meatloaf and potatoes recipe which, in theory, would have worked very well. But, I was not able to locate any recipe (even on the web) for just one or the other...enter ruined meatloaf. The dial set up is also a bit confusing and difficult to get a hang of, though I expect that to get better with time. The great part - the 14-in-1 truly is amazing as far as variety of what you can do. From pressure cooking, to steaming, to crisping, to air frying - it literally does it all! It's just a little tricky to figure out how to use each of the features, especially sans recipe. I am hoping the majority of the confusion will abate over time as I get used to this device. It has a TON of potential. I would recommend this to friends and family with the caveat that you won't be able to use it right out of the box without some learning, internet searching, and trial & error.
