Two lids are awkward. Where do you put the pressure lid when you're using the crisping lid? I had nowhere to set it safely.

Air fry results are good but not as crispy as my dedicated air fryer. For proteins it's great; for fries it's just okay.

Price is hard to swallow. I love it but I had to think hard about spending $350 on one pot.

Only 2 owner mentions have been collected so far for the Foodi 14-in-1 — treat this as directional, not definitive. One report describes a brand-new unit that began smoking almost immediately while preheating empty for an air-fry recipe, after pressure cooking and rice pudding had worked fine; the other, from an owner of about 2 years, describes the SmartLid sensor failing to detect that the lid is closed or where the slider is positioned. Both point to specific mechanical/electronic fault modes rather than a pattern with the appliance's core cooking performance. Buyers should test new units carefully during the return window and keep an eye on SmartLid behavior over time; those who've had no such issues can expect the versatility and cook quality to hold up.
