"Very easy to clean the baskets. ... The metal trays come out and every thing goes in the dishwasher."
"very easy to clean ... we threw out the Phillips XXL because it was so cumbersome and hard to clean in comparison."
"all the grease and fat falls to the bottom so it's easy to pull the drawer and empty it out."

"being able to choose 2 different modes or times and temperatures even if just cooking for 1"
"I am most pleased with is I can ‘Sync’ my cooking in the 2 drawers. ... So different foods for the meal finish cooking at the same time. ... It is the Sync Mode on my Ninja I most appreciate."
"Other key features (& my favourite feature) is the Sync Mode. So different foods finish cooking at the same time."

"My Ninja dual basket is probably 4 years old now and absolutely still rips. ... I love it."
"I’ve had the double basket for years now and it works flawlessly after running it at least four times a week."
"I have had mine for about 2 years now. Still looks brand new."

"As this has same capacity but takes up less space on counter top, than the side by side model."
"neemt weinig ruimte in omdat de mandjes niet naast elkaar zitten maar boven elkaar"
"went for the Stacker design as they take up less room on the counter top."

"I have the kind that has two smaller baskets and I'm so unimpressed with it. ... I very much regret not getting the toaster oven kind. I opted for this stupid dual basket kind. This thing is almost useless. ... I have the ninja dual basket air fryer and I'm so not impressed with it. ... What kind of air fryer do you have? Mine is a dual basket and I find it's literally the opposite of what you said lol ... I wonder if this has more to do with the model that people get. Mine is a dual basket. I regret not getting the toaster oven kind. ... I'm extremely unimpressed with the one I chose, a dual basket air fryer. So many feelings about it haha. ... Don't get a dual one with two small baskets."
"One downside is definitely that I can't fit a large casserolle in ther anymore"
"Each basket is also pretty small, might work for you but did not for me."

"Whenever you cook with both baskets it just doesn't have enough power for that so it cooks way worse ... so you end up just always using only 1 basket."
"The mistake I made when new was using silicone trays. Thought they save effort on cleaning. Chicken bone in & skin on thighs raw near the bone after recommended cooking time. Took lots of putting back & more cooking. Think eventually it nearer an hour to cook instead of 20 minutes. ... After a few days of such disasters. I realised it’s due to the silicone trays blocking the back Vent holes at the drawer backs. Also blocking air that should come up through the Crisper Plates. Same would have occurred with Parchment Liners. I did try collapsing the Silicone Trays. But they rose up during cooking, so still blocking the air Vents on the Drawers backs."
"I've tried cooking fish and broccoli and cauliflower in mine and the results have truly been subpar compared to my oven or BBQ, or a pan. ... I find it to be the worst at cooking vegetables. Both the oven or BBQ are way better. ... To me the oven is so much better at vegetables. You can set it to a nice 375 and that results in excellent browning for the outside, and perfect doneness on the inside. The air fryer in my experience just crisps the outside but doesn't cook the inside properly. ... I also don't want vegetables to have to be like basically diced haha."

050198 1.0We have this model. Can confirm it cooks unevenly. You can counteract it if you’re mindful to turn the food through the cooking process, but it can be a pain
ajguk 1.0It's not the best. Definite differences in heat levels between the front and back of the drawers so you have to move things round more than you ah pull. Zero preheat time though and it's got a small footprint for so much capacity.
cooket89 1.0This model of ninja is inherently flawed as an airfyer and the heating element is at the back. Reviews show it can lead to uneven cooking. If you have the space opt for the side-by-side ninja dual basket one, it goes up to 240C as well.

Fyonella 1.0Same. I have this model and cannot think of a single criticism of it.
I’ve had no problems with it. You go have to shake the basket or rotate larger items but that’s true of air fryers in general.
patgeo 1.0I have the 9L double draw Ninja. It is great for two and a bit depending on the meal. Doing enough chips for 4+ needs both baskets and a lot of returning to shake them around. The result is pretty limited if you overload. Use it multiple times a week and it doesn't get taken off the bench. Any smaller and the baskets don't fit roasts etc, honestly still struggle to get larger cuts in. Having two zones is great and basically the only real advantage over a traditional oven. I can cook multiple things at once at different temps with different times and they all finish at once with the touch of a button.
Thx1182 1.0I have that Ninja model and I find it great. It is very easy to clean and is simple to use. Great to be able to cook two different things at once with different times and temps and have them done at the same time. (Sneaky edit for typos)
CelebrationAny371 0.9Keine Frage - Ja! Seit wir die Ninja 400 haben wird das Backrohr kaum noch benötigt und so Sachen wie Pommes, Nuggets usw usw werden besser. Und da kann sich sogar der 8 jährige eben vor der Schule selbst Brötchen aufbacken - das ist in 4 Minuten erledigt 😁 Die Energieffizienz ist auch besser als das Backrohr.. etc. etc.
Boing78 0.7Wir sind mit ner günstigen vom Aldi (glaube so 70€) angefangen um zu schauen ob es was für uns ist. Mittlerweile haben wir (auch zu Zweit) ne Doppelstock als XL von Ninja. Mit zwei Schubladen kann man gleichzeitig zwei verschiedene Sachen wie z.B. Hänchenschenkel und Gemüsebeilage machen. Ich würde immer darauf achten, dass man die Programme so einstellen kann, dassselbst bei unterschiedlichen Garzeiten beides gleichzeitig fertig ist. Und nie wieder zu klein, die Heißluft muss sich vernünftig verteilen können, sonst ist das Ergebnis schnell entäuschend.
rudecilantro 0.7I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation. The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.
