Your neighbors don’t have this one 😂😂😂 Thank you for clearing the difference between these up!!

The speedy style meals can be done in the Ninja foodi with the steam fry option.. just as fast. The directions are in the inspirational guide for the foodie and not the normal cooking chart.

I just received my Ninja Speedi a few days ago. My first meal was a frozen London Broil steak. It was as hard as a rock when I put it in the Ninja Speedi. I cooked the steak on the rack that comes with the Ninja Speedi and rice in the bottom of the Ninja Speedi . I set it on Speedi meals and left the temp on 390 degrees F and set the time for 15 minutes. The meal came out perfect, The steak was at 167 degrees F at the end of the cooking time and as tender as anyone would want. The rice was perfect and tasted great with all the steak drippings dropping on the rice.

Thanks for this. Buyers should know that normal Ninja Foodi's do not have the "Steam Crisp" function. So far as I can tell only the Smart Lid and Speedi have it, and for me that is a huge deal. Its like having a tremendously flexible programmable convection/steam/broil oven, its the killer app that makes the Speedi so great. I do not know if the Smart lid has as many steam + bake/crisp/broil options, but it is that combo that makes it so easy to make full meals with very little effort. The Speedi, because of its rack design, is also a lot easier for me to clean than my Foodi. My cleaning time is cut in half vs cooking on a stove or with a Foodi Wired rack. If you love to cook, I can see how the Smart Lid Foodi gives you more options, but if you are looking for ways to simplify and speed things up, the Speedi is a lot better for that. I have used the Speedi nearly every day since I got it, and the Foodi sits on the shelf.

These are the two models I own and love them. Your videos actually convinced me to upgrade my old Ninja air fryer to the new Speedi. Gifted the old one to a good friend.

As soon as I saw the title clicked immediately. Was waiting for this Doug, thank you.

A great review. I have both and enjoy using both. I bought the Speedi last and I have used it more for every day cooking. I don't think you can go wrong with either. They stand alone in how you want to use them. I do love the convenience of the Speedi and the layered cooking.

Thanks for the comparison Doug! Love my Speedi for sure! Quick meal prep and definitely clean up is easier less pots to clean and the food tastes amazing. Cheers 🍻

I appreciate this. Just bought myself a speedi and I was second guessing my choice. I think I made the right one. Thanks!

Oh my God, you're an absolute legend. Thanks for taking the time to do a comparison ❤

Really love your comparison.Funny, yet informative!

I just purchased the one lid for its internal temperature probe and steam crisp option. I liked the smaller rectangle design of the speedi, but the the added features of the one lid won the day.

Space is a major consideration for me. I have the one lid model with the thermometer and auto steam release. Along with its capacity to do three layer cooking, this machine does everything the Speedi does and more.

Thank You Doug!

I just got both! Love them!

Both are awesome and well designed machines. But if I had to pick up one, it would be the Smart Lid Pressure Cooker (preferable the OL701 model) for its versatility and looks.

I like my one lid for doing multilevel meals and pressure cooking tougher cuts of meat, but want to add the Speedi for it’s smaller footprint and Speedi meals.

My Husband and I love our Ninja Speedi. I made the best pork teriyaki with pineapple rice we have ever tasted. Everything cooks so good in this machine! The chicken parm was fantastic too. It’s a great machine.

I’m slowly learning my speedi and had not been finding very many desert recipes using the speedi. So I had to try and make one. I made apple bread pudding in the speedi. I had some leftover bread from using my bread machine that I broke up into crotons. And a jar of apple pie filling from some I had canned using my instant pot. The instant pot makes small batch water bath canning super easy. I do 4 pint jars at a time. But for making the bread pudding. In the bottom of the speedi I placed the apple pie filling and added some raisins and nuts. Then layered on top of that filling the homemade crotons mixed with butter, eggs, milk and sugar. I didn’t write any of this down so I’m trying to remember off the top of my head.😁I put the speedi on I think it was 350 for 15 minutes. Then switched it over to air fry for another few minutes so the top could get browned. I could not stop eating this bread pudding it was so quick and delicious.

I choose both!😀 I sometimes have them both going at the same time to meal prep for the week!

Fantastic product recently purchased common sense prep meals for bake stove top broil or fry. Doug is right on the mark with speedy Ninja. Experience: this is the best.. easy cleanup in and out of the kitchen and a snap. Love it

Thanks for the comparison video.

I have both and love them both.

That was such a helpful video thank you!!

I just bought ninja Speedi.. still learning..slow cook function is powerful..even low setting.. cooked some boneless ribs add 1 & half cup of water and woke up to it completely dried up.. have add a good amount of water…. Definitely powerful in low slow cooking mode.

I love the Foodi with Smart Lid because it does everything the Speedi does plus it pressure cooks, but MOST important is I can cook in three layers! Just did risotto with vegetables and chicken (arborio rice on bottom, carrots/mushrooms middle layer in tinfoil, and protein on top!!). You cannot get anywhere near the depth of room with the Speedi to cook all of this food. Also really love using a stainless steel inner pot and the stainless rack that comes with it, no scratching! Thanks for great review!

As someone who lives in an apartment with limited counter space, I'd choose the Ninja Foodi with SmartLid over the Speedy. Even if I'm only cooking for only two people, the Foodi is great for meal-prepping, pressure-cooking, and for batch-cooking for parties. Plus, as heavy as it is, I'd sometimes bring it over to my friend's houses to help prep food for parties.

You have convinced me to get a ninja speedi doug. Thank you.

I already have a six and eight quart electric pressure cooker. So if I were to choose one at this point, I would probably go with the speedi for smaller/quicker meals since there are only two of us here.

Great intro on the machines! I got the smart lid bcuz I needed an 8 qt pressure cooker, and found out that it roasts the best whole chicken I ever had in my life! I only passed on the speedi bcuz I have no need for the speedi feature. I only eat a meat based diet, so that’s the only reason I passed on the speedi. I believe it’s a great machine. I’m a Ninja addict. LOL! In fact, my creami deluxe is on the way from QVC right now! They just put out the creami deluxe in colors and with extra cups and I leapt like a fiend and bought mine! 😊

I own both, and they each have their pros (zero cons in my opinion). I love the Foodi for doing layered meals and soups/stews as well as pressure cooking, and I love the Speedi for the easy as hell quick meals and air frying. Both can be used to convert any recipe that you're used to cooking

Have 14 Ninjas, they all have a place for my needs.

I like how fast the speedi is. Some items cook even faster than what the recipe says.

Thanks for sharing.

Great video! I'm currently deciding between the Speedi and Foodi 14-in-1. I love that the Speedi is smaller and cheaper, way cheaper. But it doesn't have the pressure cooking option. Now I have never used that before anyway so I won't miss it, and I think most recipes can be done in the slow as well as the pressure cooker with the only difference being time?

I have the one lid and can make the stacked meals in addition to, pressure cooking. I also use it to make crispy bacon, which you cannot do either of those in the speedi.

I’ve got the 15 in 1 ninja foodi and haven’t used my oven since! Today I cooked a beef joint with potatoes, peas and gravy. Cooked with temperature instead of time so the meat came out amazing. You just put it in, it works and that’s all you need. I got it because of the cost of living crisis to save electricity. If you want something like this go for it and if it’s not for you send it back.

Thank you! I was thinking about getting the foodi and now was wondering if i show get the speedy instead

Great comparison 👍

A very much appreciated review, thank you so much😊

THANKS man

I have the new Speedo, but I will upgrade my older Ninja for the smart lid.

Next on my to make list is scalloped potatoes in the speedi.

I love the blown-up statement about pressure cooking. i laughed 🤣🤣

Very good time saver, I cooked salmon 🍣 croquettes in it on sear and hit bake for 3 minutes to finish them off. Boiled eggs 🥚 7 minutes easy peel. Steamed air fried chicken perfectly

I tried to slow cook in the ninja and the instant pot and both didn't work for this so I do still use a crockpot and I really love soups in the ninja pressure cooker and I'm looking into getting a ninja speedi and I still love my rice cooker for certain things and I believe that each machine was designed to make a few things that are the best in that preticular machine but that's just me

What i like about the Speedy is the possibility to combine cereals likes Rice or pasta with protein.

both for me too

I love both

I don't have this brand yet, trying to figure out which would work for me. I like the probe, which I think stops the pressure cook when it reaches a set temp. But i like the Speedi, for its fast cooking. Black Friday deals have both at good prices $199 vs. $99... Do you have to slide the lid from pressure cook to air fry when using the probe? I can't find that answer anywhere.

I owned the SmartLID NINJa and was not impressed by the combo SMartlid design and felt it was a total failure in design and the unit failed after heavy use in only 1 year time and never was a reliable pressure cooker. I replaced my SMartLID with the SPEEDI AIRFRYER ROASTER NINJA and believe it a better design and should hopefully be more reliable for me and I will just use a second dedicated pressure cooker with none of the sealing hassles of the SMARTLID with the flapper silicone vents in the lid that are so prone to leaking etc. My SmartLID failed with a lid not close error even though it was closed the machine would not cook.

Great vid! Thank you for sharing! Always entertaining! I don't know if I missed it, but do you know if a leave in thermometer, like the Meater, can be used in the Speedi during any type of cook function?

I think the new version of the food smart lid steams as well now.

Ok I need a pressure Cooker and this speedi its not. Thank you for answering my question 😁

I chose the smart lid option

would u say the speedi is an healthy way to cook , given all the fats etc in foods cooked on top drip down onto foods below , i’m trying to eat healthy and was concerned about it , thanks Sue

can I put meat in a jar in Foodi and presser cook?

It's funny, my cousin thinks she will blow something up even though she grew up with the stove one.

I just got the Ninja Speedi today yay!!!!!

Both

The speedi really does seems pointless to me I have the 1 lid with thermometer and it just seems like the best of the best at the minute .

The last person to get blown up by a pressure cooker was Guillermo Rigondeaux 🤦🏾‍♂️

So can u use the ninja speedi, for cooking pot roast and stuff like that, since it says slow cook

Smart lid does it all & a little faster 🎉I have both

Really to be honest with you Doug why would anybody buy the Speedy when the smart one Lid does more for the money you would buy the one that you can do more with you can't pressure cooking in a speedy

Speedi just arrived today..cooking a steak right now

My family is 2 adults 2 teen girls and it works great! Just saying

By 01:05 I've got my answer, thank you! 😅😂
