A side by side comparison where things go WRONG!

Ninja Foodi Smart XL 8 qt pressure cooker Steam fryer with Smartlid and thermometer vs Instant Pot Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid

The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer is available in a 6.5 quart size as well as the 8 quart size which I purchased.  It's also available with or without a SMART Thermometer. The version I purchased includes the Smart thermometer .

It comes with an attached lid that hinges on the side. One lid is used for Air frying, steaming and pressure cooking. The Ninja Foodi  comes with a non-stick aluminum cooking pot insert.

The Ninja Foodi is a 14 in 1 appliance that pressure cooks, steam and crisp, air fry, steam and bake, bake/roast, broil,, sear/sauté, dehydrate, yogurt, steam, slow cook, sous vide, proof, and keep warm.

The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer comes with a cookbook and clear instructions to help get you started.

The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate lid is only available in 6.5 quart size with a stainless steel cooking pot insert. There is no thermometer attachment available at the time of this filming.

The Instant Pot comes with an owner's manual with very basic use instructions but no cookbook.

The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate lid has an attached lid that hinges on the back of the unit. The attached lid houses the air fryer heating element and fan. There is a separate cover to attach over the heating element/ fan when pressure cooking or steaming.

The Instant Pot has 13 functions in 1 including pressure cooker, air fryer, sauté, steam, slow cook, warm, bake, roast, broil, yogurt, dehydrate, bread proofing, and sous vide.
