What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid, 6.5 Quart (OL501)
One whitelisted hands-on review covers this exact unit: TechRadar tested the 6.5qt SmartLid multicooker sold in the UK as the 11-in-1, which the review explicitly identifies as the US Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 6.5 quart SmartLid (OL501). It rated results excellent and the cooker easy to use, while flagging the non-flat pot base, high price, and large heavy footprint. Only one tester covers this trim, so there is no cross-source comparison. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Excellent, easy-to-use results across pressure, steam and air fry functions; One SmartLid handles every function; accessories are dishwasher safe; Steam-crisp leaves food moist inside with crisp golden exterior.
Flagged: Cooking pot base isn't flat, so oil pools at the edges when sauteing; Expensive, and lacks the meat probe and automatic steam release of the pricier model; Large, heavy footprint that vents a lot of steam from the back.
