I meant my “tomorrow” aka December 26, 2024. 
 

If no one else has the manual in electronic form, I’ll scan mine tomorrow.

Thank you.  I looked at their site and they make no mention of a manual.

It's pretty small. If @DesertTinker can't scan it for some reason, I will. (Please let me know, DesertTinker!)

Here's your "User Manual" it's kind of skimpy, but there is the Temperature Guide, and some basic cleaning instructions.

 

@Smithy I did get it done, and earlier than I expected! (Thanks for the back up offer, truly appreciated.)

Yes, that's the only user manual I received. I still have not used mine, nor have I used the Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker I got to replace my ginormous slow cooker. But planning to do so soon. I took some Italian sausage out of the freezer to defrost and have a couple of different things I want to use it for. Going to play with some "small cooking" (for just me).

I was just reading on Google the many features of this product. I wish I could get one because it seems like it really is an all-in-one Appliance.

I just searched our site and I saw that we have nothing on the Possible Cooker. Since you and @mgaretz seem to be the only members that have one, maybe you could start a topic and give us a little more information. I see that Amazon has a 6.5 capacity model. What size did you get?

I got it at Costco (on sale) and it is the 8.5 quart, which is larger than I'd really like but smaller versions would have cost more than this one elsewhere.

How is A4Box customer service?

 

I bought one in the 2nd week of December and it still hasn't shipped.  I have emailed a couple of times and haven't gotten a response.  I checked my order on their website after seeing a question message about not shipping to a PO Box and my account details clearly show a street address.  PayPal does default to PO Box though.

Mine took a while to ship (I don't remember now how long) but when I wrote and asked them, they sent me a shipping notice and then followed up with a tracking number. They haven't responded, however, to my repeated questions about when or whether the inserts will again become available. I suspect the company is circling the drain as suggested above. I hope you get yours soon!

Does anyone know what this is for?

It’s not an A4Box item. Looks like you got the @Anna N& @Kerry Beal Super Bonus Pack.  
 

Onigirazu mold (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) not currently available, but you can look at the pictures on Amazon and get an idea of how to use it. Also, search Onigirazu here and you’ll find @Anna Ns posts in several different places. Also check out YouTube, most there don’t use a mold, but the process and final product are very similar.

 

@Sid Post I’m sure you’ll find something with SPAM with a quick search.

I spent a fair bit of time this afternoon acquainting myself with onigirazu.  I've put nori and sticky rice on my shopping list.  Thank you for bringing it to my attention as I had never heard of it before.

Bumping this back up to note that the A4 boxes seem still to be available but no longer on sale. This surprises me, since our last speculation was that the fabulous sale was happening to eliminate inventory as they wound the company down.

 

The accessory kits are listed as being available when bundled with the A4, but when I try to order the accessory trays separately they're still listed as Sold Out.

Has everyone who ordered an A4 box during that lovely sale gotten theirs? There was some concern about customer service a few months ago.

 

If you have gotten it and started to play with it, remember to let us know how it's going -- either here or, better still, over here:

 

 

I'm a couple of months and a couple of thousand miles from being able to play with mine, but I'd love a progress report!

This is great news! Hoping this means that it will soon be possible to order the accessories!

Just an FYI ANNIVERSARY5 still works for free unit, with shipping only ($44.99). I just did it. My consolation for losing Lucky this morning.

And ANNIVERSARY5 still works!  And the pan combo is still unavailable.  But I have a cooker for the office coming to me.
