"I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. ... It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though."

"Even without dishwasher its so easy to clean since its a non-stick bowl so a few gentle swipes makes it clean in like 3 seconds! ... I just cook, take out food, quick rinse and done! Easy-peasy!"
"I can put it all in the dishwasher."
"Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. ... It’s not connected to plastic. ... Easy to clean."

"Currently on a pork loin kick and it comes out amazing"
"I like my Ninja oven and air fryer combo for its versatility ... plus the results I'm getting on everything coming out of it are outstanding imo. ... Roasted a whole stuffed chicken last week as well as cooking scratch made pizza. Outstanding!!"

"each basket has a wire rack to basically make 4 cooking surfaces, too. (2 per drawer/basket - top rack being more crispy foods) ... I love that each basket/drawer comes with a separate rack that sits half way in the basket making 4 areas to cook on. ... the top rack in each drawer is the "crispier" foods rack"

"chicken is gross on that one I learned."
"Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate."
"it takes much longer regardless than a traditional air fryer. ... 40 mins to cook my potatoes... usually takes 20."
The ninja went on a double sale (I guess?) right now so we bought it. $278 CAD We often cook meat and vegetables so I think the dual oven style will work great for us. We may consider a small air fryer in the future for small stuff though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I ended up buying the ninja Dual Door 12-1. When I went back and looked it was a further $40 off from the already on sale price so it was a no brainer.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I used it last night. Love it! It's so much quieter than my last air fryer. One thing I noticed is the top isn't an air fryer. If I had been paying attention I would have noticed this! It's more of a toaster oven. It did heat up quick!
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->The top doesn't air fry. It's just a toaster oven. The bottom oven is the air fryer. I thought both would have a fan.. it's not a big deal though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I have the Ninja DCT401 12-in-1 Double Oven and use it frequently. It does have two sections but they do different things. I rarely use both at the same time; usually I’m either baking on the top or air frying on the bottom.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->Never had an air fryer before last fall. I bought the Ninja double oven as it was on for half price and my friend loves hers. I don’t make super greasy food though, and clean up is a breeze. Quick wipe of the oven and door and Dawn power wash for the basket and catch tray though dish soap is probably fine too. Works great for me.
r/airfryer • Thoughts on the toaster oven style air fryer? ->Ninja Double Oven. It has vents on the side of the unit instead of the top and fits comfortably on my countertop under my upper cabinets
r/Cooking • Best value Air fryer that is able to cook 2 things at once ->It's not about the cooking method. Brining/marinading + making sure they are flat and more or less equal in thickness + taking it out at the right internal temperature is the key. I know double stack ninja model has a built in thermometer for monitoring food temp, but you can buy one separately. It will level up your chicken breasts.
r/airfryer • My very first air fryer ->I got this recently and have been a little frustrated on the cooking quality. The top basket cooks much faster than the bottom even when the “double stack” and “match cook” buttons are chosen. I’m thinking about returning mine and getting a different model.
r/airfryer • Anybody used the “double stack” ninja air frier? Looking for opinions! ->I just got the double stack from ninja.. I don't have a lot of countertop space in my NYC apartment but this one fits nicely and works great! I love that each basket/drawer comes with a separate rack that sits half way in the basket making 4 areas to cook on. the top rack in each drawer is the "crispier" foods rack
r/airfryer • Look to upgrade from our single Ninja air fryer, which one should we go for? ->This is exactly why I just switched to getting the double stack.. each basket has a wire rack to basically make 4 cooking surfaces, too. (2 per drawer/basket - top rack being more crispy foods) Its pretty ideal
r/airfryer • Look to upgrade from our single Ninja air fryer, which one should we go for? ->I have a Ninja double air fryer. It’s really great and I highly recommend it.
r/airfryer • Does anyone use this air fryer? Thinking of buying it ->Ik ben tevreden over de Ninja Double Stack, makkelijk schoon te maken, twee mandjes, en neemt weinig ruimte in omdat de mandjes niet naast elkaar zitten maar boven elkaar.
r/nederlands • goeie airfryer ->I’ve owned a few. My Ninja double stack is my favorite. It is relatively narrow, looks good on the counter, and has great capacity.
r/Costco • Air fryer recommendations? Ninja? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
