One buyer called it ‘the best purchase of my life’ and I’m tempted to agree
As someone who isn’t naturally gifted in the kitchen, I’m always looking for ways to improve my cooking skills. While I manage to prepare decent meals for my family, I’m certainly not whipping up gourmet dishes with ease like Jamie Oliver.
Over the years, I’ve tried my fair share of kitchen gadgets—some more useful than others. From slow cookers to air fryers and everything in between, I can’t resist the allure of a new appliance that promises to make cooking easier.
When I finally took the plunge and purchased a Ninja Speedi it was like all my cookery dreams had come true at once. Highly efficient and super easy to use, buyers can pick one up with 37% off in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale.

Exceedingly versatile, the Ninja Speedi 10-in-1 Rapid Cooker has multiple functions and a dual-layer cooking system. It combines the functions of several of the brand’s popular appliances, serving as a steamer, grill, air fryer, roaster, dehydrator, sauté pan and slow cooker all in one.
The countertop kitchen appliance is now reduced to £146 down from £254.99. But apart from the price drop, the biggest attraction for Speedi lovers like me is the convenience of preparing a full, well-balanced meal for all the family with minimal effort.
Thanks to the Speedi Meals setting and the additional cooking rack I can create “one-touch, one-pot meals” using a choice of base, vegetables and protein—all in just 15 minutes. It’s also easy to clean as both the pan and crisping tray are dishwasher-safe, eliminating the hassle of scrubbing burnt trays and messy saucepans.
If the Speedi isn’t quite what you are looking for, Amazon is also offering a big deal on the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer. Another impressive bit of kit, the Foodi is reduced from £219.99 to £141.55. Alternatively, the Tefal Easy Fry Mega has 50% off at £69.99.
When it comes to the Ninja Speedi, it has already garnered a 4.7 out of five-star rating across 2,661 reviews on Amazon. One buyer said: “I finally joined the air fryer revolution (better late than never!) I love it. I cook all my veg in it, roasties, scones the list is endless – I hardly use my oven now. Highly recommended.”
A second added: “Great for meal prep meals. Best purchase kitchen appliance ever for a busy man (or woman).” A third agreed with the sentiment, saying: “I absolutely love this – we have not switched the large oven on since the day it arrived …. But not only that it’s just fabulous to cooking a whole meal for 2 people so quickly…and everything just comes out so crispy and tasty as all the moisture is on the inside … brilliant little machine.”
Sadly, not every home cook was quite so impressed, with one three-star review stating: “Too complicated. Bulky, No good in a smaller kitchen under food cupboards, as it’s top opening and to the side, so have to pull right out to be able to open. It’s not all that.”
Many buyers have come to rely on their Speedie, forgoing many other cooking methods. Another buyer confirmed this in a five star review that said: “Best purchase of my life. I’m writing this review a year after I bought it because of how much it’s made cooking easier. I don’t own a toaster because I literally use this air fryer for everything! It has grilled my chicken well, cooked rice, and I regularly use it to even heat up my food.”
