"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"Nekem a nagy sütőt teljesen kiváltotta. ... Nincs szükség előmelegítésre és kevesebb áramot fogyaszt mint egy rendes sütő."
"Sütiket is simán lehet benne sütni, sőt én ételt is szoktam melegíteni benne, tojást pedig csak ebben főzök! 130 fok 8 perc és tökéletes a főtt tojás."
"We basically stopped using the oven."

"I have not used my “basket” style air fryer or my full sized oven since we bought this. Well, aside from Thanksgiving to cook the turkey."
"Even without adding oil, food is crispier than in an oven. ... Like - frozen oven chips are always soggy. In the air fryer - crispy French fries."
"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"The dual baskets let me cook two things at once (like chicken wings in one and fries in the other) with different settings, and they finish at the same time thanks to the “Smart Finish” tech."
"You don’t have to figure out timing with this one you can set one side for the temperature and the time and set the other side for a different temperature and time. Then you hit the start button and the oven pauses cooking for the one with a shorter cook time so they both finish at the same time. ... This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing. ... But you don’t have to do anything except set your oven. Set one side 350 for 60 minutes. Set the other side 375 for 40 minutes. Hit the button that says smart match. Then hit the button that says start One side of the oven is paused for 20 minutes, which makes them finish at the correct temperature and time. In other words, one of them cooks for 60 minutes at 350 and the other one cooks at 40 minutes for 375. ... It doesn’t take just as long if one takes 10 minutes at 350 and the other one takes 5 minutes at 350. You hit start and one side doesn’t start until five minutes later than the other one. If you have one that is 350 for 10 minutes and the other one is 375 for five minutes. One starts cooking at 350 for five minutes and then the other one starts cooking at 375. Both of them end up being finished at the same time. ... Mine is 1690 W in the US. This is mine and you can program two different products and two different drawers with two different cook times and temps to finish at the same time. ... This oven does it automatically. You set one side for time and temperature and the other side for another time and temperature and you hit the start button. The one with the lower cook time is paused and starts automatically to make them finish cooking at the same time. ... it has one drawer with two sections that you can cook two different foods at different times and they come out finished at the same time."

"I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck."

"el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión ... volvió a presentar el mismo daño ... materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad ... las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia"

"honestly I hate it. ... Each basket is too small. ... No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area."
"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."
"Baskets are small ... the quantity for those two things is small"

"My biggest complaint is that it takes forever when using both zones. ... It brags that you don’t have to batch cook, but at least with batch cooking I’d have something hot on the table while the second half cooks."
"as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. ... Basically double the cooking time. ... when switching to two it takes absolutely ages."
"When I first got it I was excited to throw like frozen fries in one side and nuggets in the other, but then when I used my Normal settings neither was even close to done. I don’t use both at the same time ever anymore. ... Tried later adding time and found it really cumbersome to get right. It just doesn’t get nearly as hot when splitting between both baskets ... If you tell it to have 375 in one side and 350 in the other they’ll actually be about 335 and 310. It can’t output enough heat. ... Maybe mine is defective (and was out of the box) but it absolutely does not reach the desired temperature if I use both."

"it shit out after 6 months"
"Box says it's dishwasher safe. I put it in the dishwasher twice and it started to rust."
"The screen burned out within a year"
Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
r/Frugal • Tips for cooking without a stove/oven? Im not trying to sound dumb lol just maybe having it spelled out for me will help? Thanks ->My roommates and I recently went with the Ninja 6-in-1 since we cook together a lot and it's been great. I'm a sucker for a simple UX/not overcomplicating things when it comes to kitchen stuff and it seemed like one of the better options on that front. Also have a ninja blender so I know they make decent stuff. Would recommend to just go with the one that fits your intended use. You don't want to get a big bulky one that will stick out on your counter if you don't need to.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer Right Now? Recommendation? ->So I have two air fryers. Both are ninjas. One is single and one is dual. I do agree the single is better. It's really convenient to have three air fryers when making something like air fryer chicken, roasted veggies & fresh french fries. I can make all three at the same time and eat at the same time. Super convenient. Also if making wontons and spring rolls. I have a pretty busy job, a young child & a husband who doesn't cook. So for me worth it to have all. I also have enough space in my kitchen.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->Given all the research you’ve already done, you’ve probably seen that giant comparison database of air fryers floating around Reddit [here, I bookmarked it](https://www.reddit.com/u/MaterialisticOcelot/s/AuYboNaNB6). It’s super handy if you want to line up the details down to the very last spec. I personally have the Ninja Foodi and really like it, but I wouldn’t really consider it a “budget” pick since it runs close to $200. That said, I do think you get what you pay for with these. I’d be careful about going under $50 on an appliance you expect to last.
r/cookingforbeginners • Best budget air fryer? ->I have had mine over a year now and the stainless color on the handles is fine. Editing to say I have not put mine in the dishwasher though and I am assuming that may be the cause.
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->Dude I’ve been a skeptic for years and I finally got one the other day, ninja duel basket and it’s absolutely awesome being able to choose 2 different modes or times and temperatures even if just cooking for 1
r/airfryer • Affordable Airfryer Suggestions ->I have had a ninja duel for 2 1/2 years and still working great
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->I have a ninja dual and I love it
r/airfryer • I want to buy a double basket airfryer, what are the best and worst ones out there? And why? ->Ja mialam xiaomi i jest wspanialy. Pozniej kupilam ninja max 9.5 litra z 2 szufladami. Ale jedzienie mi lepiej wychodzi w duzo tanszym xiaomi. Ktore również sie przypomina zeby pomieszac. Teraz stoja dwa i uzywam na zmianę zalezy co gotuję.
r/Polska • Air fryer - teflonowe rozkminy i jakie typy warto rozwazyc ->Yup I did a post on mine several months ago. Definitely takes more time when cooking with both sides and it can be hard to figure out timing. I wish I stuck with my single one.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I just mean in the sense that it cooks a lot slower using both sides vs one so have to figure out timing for stuff to be done. It isn't the usual times I would set when using just one side. Apparently this is an issue in the US due to voltage from what I was told numerous times on my last post. Just wish I knew before I got it. If you're in the US and this one takes just as long when you use both sides, you're lucky I guess. 🤷♀️ i have much longer cook times using both sides than I do with one, or with my one basket ninja I used to have.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->Bought the ninja 13-in-1 flip toaster oven second hand for $100 and it had replaced my microwave and dual tray ninja air fryer almost entirely. Actually, I haven't used the air fryer since I bought it, which was four month ago. The microwave I use to reheat leftovers, like soup, mash potatoes, that won't reheat well in the toaster. It has also pretty much replaced my conventional oven except for when I'm doing big batches or baking something that won't fit, like a cheesecake.
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
