Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker 6L in Black/Silver

The feature that genuinely sets this apart from standard multi-cookers is the SmartLid's Combi-Steam mode, which combines pressure cooking with steam injection to solve a real problem: meat that's tender inside but soft and unappetising on the outside. The lid reads which mode you're in and adjusts automatically, meaning you can go from pressure-cooking a whole chicken to crisping the skin without swapping lids, draining liquid, or transferring to a separate appliance. That single workflow — moist heat followed by dry, circulating heat — is something no basic air fryer or slow cooker can replicate.

Who Is This For?

This suits a busy household cook who genuinely uses their countertop appliances regularly and wants to consolidate — pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, steamer, and more in one 6-litre unit that handles a family-sized batch comfortably. If you're cooking for one or two and rarely do roasts or batch cooking, this is oversized and overspecified; a standalone air fryer from our air fryer deals guide would serve you better for less money.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the SmartLid's ease of switching between functions mid-cook and the quality of results from the Combi-Steam mode, particularly on roast joints and whole poultry. The most common complaint is the lid itself — because it's integrated rather than removable, cleaning the underside is awkward, and food debris around the seal requires deliberate attention after every pressure-cooking session. It is also bulkier than earlier Foodi models, so measure your cupboard clearance before buying.

The Deal

At £199.99 against a previous price of £279.99, you're saving £80 — and our price history across 48 data points shows this is actually the lowest this model has ever been listed, with an average tracking price of £202.28. It has spent most of its tracked life closer to full price. If you've been watching it, this is a genuinely low entry point — don't expect it to go cheaper.
