Is the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8-in-1 worth it?
Yes — if you want a slow cooker that can sear first.
It's a slow cooker at heart, with a large non-stick pot big enough for a family casserole, a whole chicken or batch cooking. What sets it apart from a plain slow cooker is that the same pot also sears and sautés, steams, braises, simmers, bakes and proves dough, so you can brown meat and onions and then slow cook them without another pan. It comes with a spoon that clips onto the lid, it's easy to set with one dial, and the pot cleans easily. It doesn't pressure cook or air fry, so it's no quicker than any slow cooker. The glass lid isn't sealed, so steam escapes and sauces reduce, and a number of owners found its low setting too hot or too cool for their recipes.

How we reached this verdict
TechGearLab named the US version its best slow cooker overall and an Editors' Choice: it seared, slow cooked and braised well in one pot, the pot can also go on the hob or in the oven, and the included spoon is handy, though its lid isn't latched or insulated and lets out a lot of steam. We haven't found a second independent test, so the rest of the verdict comes from Ninja's specs and from verified buyers at Costco in the US (US version), who mostly love how many jobs it does and how easy it is to use and clean; the main complaint is slow cook settings that run too hot or too cool.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
