I have both and love them both. Great for different types of meals. For example: yesterday I made beef stew in the Speedi because the pan is deep. I had to saute and then add liquids and veggies. I needed the depth. Turned out awesome. I like the Combi for the front opening since I have upper cabinets over my counter tops and I don't have an island. Somewhat difficult to open the top of the Speedi on the counter. I also like the Combi for the ability to open the bottom tray and stir or remove if necessary. The Combi also comes with an air fryer tray similar to the Speedi but it fits in the top tray and catches the drippings.

Marc & Jamie, I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! There's just my husband and I here in Florida. (If either, or both, of you & your families come to Tampa, we'd love to have a beer, or coffee, with all of you!) So, I think the Speedi might be a better choice. But I like the Combi too. As far as cleaning the air fry/heating element fan, on my Foodi, I spray it very well with Dawn spray dish washing detergent (spray bottle) then I put 3 cups of water (6 quart Ninja) turn it on Saute for twenty minutes. The steam from the boiling water makes the grease you can't reach with a cloth melt right into the water. Then put more water in the pot and run the air fry/heating element fan to get whatever residual soap & grease off. Looks, smells & works like NEW!!! I do that every week, at least. (Yes, I'm a neat freak! Keep up the GREAT work, guys!!! Nancy

One other thing: to avoid having to clean so much, you can always use foil on the bottom - and this will also help with drippings from the Speedi upper tray if you want to avoid that.

I have the Combi. I never bought the Speedi as I felt, having the OL series PC, the Speedi was not offering anything new. I did not like the fact that, when checking what was cooking on the bottom, top plate had to be removed. In addition, I didn’t want juices/dripping from top into bottom. When the Combi came out with the large window and solid-top sheet pan, I immediately knew I’d purchase it; adding it to my complete arsenal of Ninja. Absolutely no regrets. As with any device, there’s a learning curve; slight.

Thanks for your reply Jamie. Twice I have tried 'Speedi Meals' with only sweet potatoes in the crisp tray with absolutely nothing in the bottom of the machine. I then adjust the cooking time and temperature and press the start button. 'REP' lights up on the machine and nothing at all happens after that. I gave up after 20 minutes as nothing happened. Do you think the machine is faulty or am I doing something wrong? This is the second machine (as I sent the first one back with the same problem), I'm thinking it's me possibly doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

In Speedi meals mode, the heading element under the pot heats up. Perhaps if it detects there's nothing inside, it won't heat up. Similar to a pressure cooker telling you there's not enough liquid. Just a theory. Try cooking them in air fryer mode instead. - J

Hey guys, I’m trying to decide on a cooker that can handle the bulk of my meal prep with minimal thought as I am no chef and simply follows the recipes in the books. I’m trying to get as much food out of one cook as possible (thinking meat/grain/veg at once, if possible) and split it for the week. Topping the list is the Foodi Smart Lid Pressure Cooker XL 8qt, the Combi, and the Speedi. Combi and XL seem to me to maximize food volume, and Speedi, while smaller(?), advertises meals for 4 and makes recipes dead simple with the recipe builder. Other considerations in order of most to least importance: cleanup, cookable meal variety, space, door hinging mechanism, price. What would yall recommend me towards? Am I missing something I should be looking at? Would be curious on how yall think the Foodi Smart Lid Pressure cooker stacks up against these two as well. Btw, your consistency in answering comments on videos, even older ones, is incredible! Keep up the great work!
@TheAverageKitchen6 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! The first consideration would be, if you need a pressure cooker function, then it's the Smart lid. If simplicity/speed is what you're after, get the Speedi. And if vertical space is an issue for the door mechanism, get the Combi. Hope this helps! - J

Mine did have a small defect where there was a small crack inside the door on the housing unit (upper right). Half-moon shape. I've seen this exact same defect on other videos.

I'm torn between these two! I must say, I do like that the Combi keeps the drippings separate from underneath. But I also like the deep basket of the Speedi. BUT, we are a family of 5, so maybe the Combi would be better? But there's also a good chance my husband and I will make something just for us and then something else that our picky kids will eat. So I'm not even sure we'd always need the extra space the combo provides. Counter space isn't an issue. I'm also not sure which would would make the meats crispier? I feel like because the Speedy has the basket with the holes, that that would make it crispier, but it also has the steam from underneath coming up directly under it and going through those same holes. I'm not a fan of the solid pan that the Combi has because in my experience without those holes for airflow, things don't get as crispy, either. I'm just not sure! Help. 😂

I can't wait for the Ninja combi to appear here on the European market, so far we only get the speedi. I do have a problem to decide which one I want, I bake a lot and the combi holds all my baking dishes and trays - the speedi gives me only 20cm in diameter... still, the capacity of the speedi would be more than enough for me. The combi might be a bit oversized for just one person but I also like cooking and freezing stuff. Some things (like a yummi chili con carne) taste so much better when cooked in bigger quantities. So, I'm still undecided but it's very likely the speedi for me... although... the front-load combi is a lot more practical...

The speedi is the best because you can easily clean the surrounding of the heating element each time you steam something, giving you a piece of mind for the next meal. The combi is larger and more convenient for having a front door, but it is harder to clean. crap will accumulate on the top of the heating element, and the next time you cook, especially if you steam, that crap may liquify and fall into your food without you knowing.

All heating elements must have a removable dual mesh spatter shield to keep food spatters from dirtying behind the element. Ninja already does this with their 4 in1 or 5 in 1 indoor grill crispers. When the spatter shield gets dirty you can unclip it and place it in a dishwasher or deep soak it in soda water and nail it with a stiff bristle brush. They do this with all their air fryers, and ovens, would be game changing in reducing smoking. Only Ninja product that should be smoking are their outdoor smoke box pizza ovens and outdoor grills.

Great review, I'm from the uk and here we don't get as many ninja products as the US but we have the combi and the ninja foodi 10 in 1 you reviewed both and both scored high at overall 8.7, I know they are in slightly different categories of cooking but I'm confused in which one to buy we are a family of 5. Can you please give me your opinion. Thanks in advance.

I think the 10-in-1 is probably more versatile in terms of daily use, but the Combi all in one meals are pretty convenient I have to say. Very tough call. Might be a challenge feeding 5 people (depending on portion sizes) with the Combi, so I might lean towards the oven. Hope this helps! - J

Combi fails when making coated meats on the top tray since no crisper tray to hold the meat ouf of drippings. Speedi I bought another crisper that gave me 3 layers to cook on and had no problem using coated meat like fried chicken or coated pork chops

Great review. Thanks. I was pretty much sold on the Speedi already so I'm relieved to see nothing here that changes my mind. I was estimating that my worktop clearance would be enough for me to open the lid but thanks so much for actually doing the measurement so I can now be certain and the height/width/depth when closed are on the Ninja product specs of course. I've just had my kitchen refitted and there's a really awkward little alcove at the end of my worktop where it runs into a gap next to a chimney breast but that gap is pretty much exactly 1" wider and 1" deeper than the Speedi so it will slide in there so neatly when not in use thus solving my dilemma of what to do with that awkward little space. And by the look of it the grey of the Speedi will match the colour of my worktop. It must be destiny! One thing on cleaning the top element - Amazon UK (so I'm sure the USA too) sell a magnetically attaching splash guard to protect the top element that looks pretty good quality and has had good reviews from Speedi owners. I'm guessing I can't post links in these comments but the product title on the Amazon UK store is "Aieve Air Fryer Splatter Screen, Air Fryer Splatter Guard Air Fryer Accessories Compatible with COSORI 4.7L Air Fryer/Ninja Speedi ON400UK Air Fryer" so maybe searching on that might help Jamie and others find it if they are interested. My only complaint - that every single reviewer seems to comment on - is that silly little grab tab (not even worthy of being called a handle) on the top protein tray. When I get mine I might see if I can bolt something onto the top of that little tab (a wire loop or a small-ish metal bracket of some sort) to give something better to grab onto with tongs. That's the only bit of the design where I think the Ninja designers did slip up a bit but apart from that the Speedi looks pretty much perfect for me.

TOMATO: UK/təˈmɑː.təʊ/ US/təˈmeɪ.t̬oʊ/ Say it YOUR way!!!😘 We own the Speedi and love it!! I use it everyday. I really like being able to stir as I saute. And, I have the Speedi steam clean itself after every use and easily get a paper towel under the element to clean the top. Although I imagine the Combi can steam clean itself, it appears cleaning the Combi's top element wouldn't be accessible to wipe under. So, those two steps are Combi Deal Breakers for me. I hope Ninja doesn't end Speedi production! 😮 Congrats, Jamie, on your soon to be 3 person family!💕 Thank you for your great videos!!!
