Well, that's enough to put me off getting one!
I always suspected they'd end up as another thing to clean.

Ditto.

They're still easier to clean than a big main oven.

I buy paper liners to go in mine. Hot soapy water.
I have seen air fryer sprays but are they just a gimmick?
Also you could try soda crystals & soak in that.
Mine doesn’t have a lid as such.

I've had mine for several years now and find it really easy to clean. I've never had a problem with grease building up around the fan - but apparently you can put hot water and lemon juice in and pop it on the pressure cook function for five to 10 minutes, then it should wipe off.
I know you're not supposed to dismantle the lid to deep clean it, but I'm on a couple of Ninja FB groups and apparently if you google it, there are clips which show you how to do it safely.

Yes, I’ve wondered about that too, and thought I’d ask my oven cleaning man who is due soon.

I have a Ninja, which does everything - slow cook, pressure cook, roast, bake, air crisp and all bells and whistles. I am sure that someone must know to which model I am referring. (unable to find the booklet!).

Obviously, the base unit is easy to take out and wash, although getting everything off which is clarted on, is well nigh impossible. What concerns me is the accumulation of grease under the lid where the fan resides. I tried steaming it today, with no effect.

The instructions state that the lid should never be dismantled. So how is one supposed to get into that area?

Any solution to this conundrum would be gratefully received. Or is this just another example of built-in obsolescence?
