More compact than the MAX version, the Ninja Foodi MINI is a multicooker providing the services of a pressure cooker and an oil-free fryer. With its 6 cooking modes, this model does not intend to compromise on versatility.
The Ninja Foodi MINI is a particularly complete multicooker, and one of the few to offer pressure cooking and forced air. It has also shown itself to be efficient on all of its 6 cooking modes, and allows cooking for a small family, contrary to what its name might suggest. Ninja’s multicooker is also easy to clean and to program but, in the absence of integrated recipes, remains to be placed in the hands of a minimum informed public.

- Direct orders.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Fast & Delicious multicooker from Tefal can be a good alternative to the Cookeo from Moulinex, provided you are not in too much of a hurry in the kitchen. More delicious that fast, this device is able to make a good number of recipes efficiently, but slowly. You have to be able to live with a non-motorized valve, a cluttered control panel and a manual mode with multiple cogs.
