The Anova is large enough to hold a jelly roll pan, regular frozen pizza, etc. I've done a programmed saturated air "sous vide" + roast of a decent sized turkey breast in mine (it was amazing). I don't know how well the Ninja combi does, but the Anova is precise enough that you can use it to do saturated air "sous vide" (using quotes since it's not actually "in vacuum" but the results are identical) and it actually comes out properly for exactly dialing in how done you want a steak/etc, with or without using the probe (the probe is useful for dialing the temp slightly higher and either removing at proper internal temp or doing a more complicated program, to get it to temp faster).
This thing makes air fryers look like a joke by comparison for any frozen foods, and for reheating leftovers: even just ~40% humidity setting and a higher temp like 350 is enough to get results that are somehow in-between a traditional deep fry and a like the ideal of a premium convection oven, without the more dried out effect air fryers often get. We stopped using our regular oven after getting this, other than when cooking meals where something needed a different temperature or extra dishes that wouldn't fit. We stopped using and gave away our air fryers after getting this. I'd rather have two of these than a built in oven, even built in wall ovens: I've considered redoing cabinets to make just that type of setup. The only consideration there becomes handling the steam it ejects when dialing down to 0% humidity.
This is to such a high degree "the real deal" that personally I wouldn't risk the ninja being a possibly nice appliance but maybe not as precise or well controlled for things like amounts of humidity added. I wouldn't consider a "pure steam" oven that just had "on or off" binary steam control (like most of the builtin steam ovens last time I checked) over a combi oven with this level of moisture control after having it, either.
Maybe the Ninja combi is as nice, but honestly I also wouldn't want something THAT small to end up being my main oven. The Anova is already a bit on the small side inside, but just large enough that it works and you can still find regular-ish (jelly roll, so sadly not even half sheet, but the Ninja looks like it won't even fit quarter sheet, which this will) pans to fit it, including things like roasters if you really look and pay careful attention to size: it doesn't look like that would be the case with the Ninja, other than 9x9 sized dishes.
I'd very seriously call this my end game oven, short of finding something that performed as well that was capable of holding half sheets. I didn't expect to like it or use it nearly half as much as what it ended up being. I got it on sale before the pandemic (as a birthday present hehe), for the price that doesn't exist anymore, and if it broke I'd buy another even at full price without hesitating. Having to go without it while doing reno while moving was terrible D: Compared to research I did a couple years ago at least when looking for any builtins to possibly get, this was basically a deal at any price with nothing truly comparable within $1,000-2,000+ of it. Now the Ninja may be (and if it is, that's amazing given the comparative pricing), but, again, that's even smaller, to a point where you do start to lose some functionality as an oven.

For me the big benefits to owning one of these are the moisture control for what is basically bagless sous vide cooking, as well as the steam oven which is great for cheesecakes, baking bread, and custards. In addition to those things it's also a regular and convection oven.
Temperature stability is also superb.

I'm very new to finding oven/range deals.

I just did this, I got a notification that my order was cancelled within ~15-20minutes. Only thing that was weird was that the form wanted a numeric order number, the full order number was like MRKT1111111 I just gave them the last numeric digits in the order and put the full order number in the comments.
