Wow! Awesome review! My fryer arrived today, can’t wait to use it!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nice!

[@mattlpeyton]

It probably takes longer with both baskets because it has to split the electric power between two baskets. US outlets are generally limited to 1500 watts and with using only one basket, it can probably use the full 1500 watts of heating on the one basket.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yep.... Agreed. That makes perfect sense... However, typical modern kitchen circuits are 20 Amp, which would make it 2400w... That's shared over the whole circuit though, so going over that 1500w mark would probably cause a lot of breaker trips.. It already does anyway if you have 2 high wattage small appliances on one... That's why you typically have 2 separate ones to cover the kitchen outlets.. I think you're exactly right on the reasoning though.

[@escheidl]

Wow! Ninja really thought of everything with this machine. They've really got some amazing product developers. And your review of it was excellent. You answered every question I would have had if I were to feel the need to purchase one of these. That's what's needed for a review to be useful. If I had a shortage of counter space I would look into one of these. But I already have my "double air fryer" needs pretty well covered. Thanks for the great review. 😎

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You're welcome.... Glad to be of service!

[@Annointed-r5n]

I have this stack is fantastic....all those negative reviews online are the opposite of this lovely machine

[@johnshepherd2666]

Thanks for this...looking to buy my first..this looked OK until youdescribed the ...dual zone ....I've got more to think about 😅

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... All these machines have their little quirks to deal with. Air Fryers all need the circulation to be as good as possible to get the best performance out of em.

[@jamo_montana1628]

My diet consist mainly keto. Will this work well with me if I wanted cook multiple types meats proteins at the same time ?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yep... If you wanna do something like steak and seafood, I'd use both baskets though so you don't mix flavors too much

[@danb5119]

Looking to buy first air fryer, this is the same depth as my counter, would fit perfectly between my oven and fridge. Think I’m sold. Saw an offer on this hence why watching this review. The extra time doesn’t bother me if using both zones. I live on my own so I think it might be overkill but my mind says to get the best and I heard ninja is the best ☺️

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I'm liking it so far. I only have one upper cabinet area, and it sits under that with no problems.

[@danb5119]

@@JoesPhenomenal I read some reviews about it cooking unevenly, overcooking at the handles and undercooking at the back. I suspect people had heat too high or something. Have you experienced anything similar to this?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@danb5119 I did a lot of recipes in there and other than the upper cooking a little faster than the lower, I had pretty good luck... I was making sure there was circulation in there though, and I was shaking baskets on air fired stuff... It's just hot moving air, so if you keep that in mind, I think there is a better result.

[@danb5119]

@@JoesPhenomenal awesome thankyou for the reply and for the amazing review. Will definitely be investing in this. I’m hoping the energy savings should also pay for itself in a year or two ☺️☺️

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@@danb5119 You're welcome! Should be quite a difference.

[@Albertojedi]

Hello Joe. I have watched a couple videos from KZbinrs complaining about uneven cooking in this model. Food tends to crisp more towards the front. What has been your experience so far?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I heard about that, but I didn't experience anything like that with any of my testing. Been trying to duplicate it to find out what's going on there.

[@N.i.g.h.t.m.a.r.e.z_]

​@@JoesPhenomenal. Maybe there's updated models but doubt that

[@kinglord5429]

Like all new ovens needs a learning curve to get technic right. What I'm reading you still need to turn/repersion the meat like all ovens interesting idea but not much to replace my 10qt dual basket ninja which I have third party racks

[@JoesPhenomenal]

10qt... Ya got the big one. Nice.

[@nicholelayyinah3172]

Which one do u recommend? Of the two you reviewed side by side

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I like the Double Stack. If you need to use the Megazone feature, the other might be better, but if not, I feel like this one has more utility.

[@miimaa4741]

Great review !thank you so much

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@tinygreenturtle]

Good review. thanks!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheBronx_911]

Any downfall to using the air fryer liners in this?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I like the dry liners... But ya gotta make sure they aren't getting in the way of air flow.

[@Gmh6477]

Got one sat in the kitchen delivered today opened it looked at it & didn’t even plug it in and it’s repacked ready to be returned…the drawers don’t seem that big tbh, they look far bigger on videos than they actually are & yes it is the double stack XL mine is actually the plus that comes with a built in meat probe… not sure weather to give it a chance after watching this vid.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I thought they were pretty big. I was able to use each drawer for a roasted whole chicken... BUT, every time I need to double stack something in one drawer, it definitely does feel cramped in there. If you're cooking for maybe 4 people, that size can be a problem.

[@magtour]

I had it ordered and promptly cancelled once I realized the cooking time is no faster than my oven when using both baskets. The side by side does not have the issue of doubling time due to both baskets being utilized. I’m not disappointed with my final choice.

[@theodorjohansson4116]

I’d be curious to see your long term experience with this. Also, since it’s definitely something my teenagers would use it for, I’d be curious to see the performance cooking four frozen pizzas at the same time.

In one basket, cook a steak on top and fries on the bottom. All the juices from the steak falls on top of the fries, giving you steak fries. 😁

Gotta looooooove the steak juice giving to love to them potatoes!

[@pjgtech]

US power supply is not as good as in the UK, (only 110v V 240v) so US can't cope with the power requirement of using both trays at once. There have been several reviews of this airfyer in the UK, using 240v and there was no difference in cooking using one or two trays at once. US needs to invest in better power system in homes, Lol..... 8-)

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... The US has pretty funky infrastructure. I don't see it ever changing though.... at least not on existing construction.

[@kinglord5429]

Yes and I don't even own one. I'll stick with dual draw 10 qt model

[@danillibaylis6156]

[@marbles8641]

My problem with Air Fryers is... kind of stupid. I bought the NInja Dual Zone, and literally filled the baskets with food to feed my room mates and myself, just as shown in the images. One was an entire bag of fries (28oz), the other a bag of chicken fingers (like a dozen?) cooked them as the bags said and both sides came out soggy and semi-cold in the middle. i returned it shortly after anything I tried came out just soggy/soft compared to cooking in an oven. Ever since then I've been turned off to Air Fryers, annoyed it didn't work like the advertisements/packaging (I know stupid) or wondering if I just didn't cook/use it correctly.

[@Yielar1]

Sounds like you added to much in each basket and the airflow wasn't great. You also need to shake up the baskets to mix the food a few times during the cook

[@marbles8641]

@@Yielar1 Do I pull it out or just grab and shake. Yea I admit I filled it like the images showed in the commercials/on the box and expected it to work like an idiot.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I'd pull it out and give it a good shake... You want to flip the stuff in there around so it cooks evenly.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Also, I wouldn't feel too bad about it... The ads always make things seem more simple than they really are.

[@marbles8641]

@@JoesPhenomenal I ended up being disatisfied and just returning it.. I was looking for a way to cook food faster than waiting an hour for my oven to heat up to do a full bag of fries, and not being able to do fries and fingers together

Lots of flaws with this machine...imho, the AF400 is still the best airfryer....

How do I keep the inside of the air fryer clean? How do I clean it and what with

@lizhunter7537 luckily it doesn't seem to get much back in the area where the fan is. I'd had good luck cleaning the inside with a Scott Brite no scratch cleaning pad and detergent. Bar keepers friend can welp with the more stubborn stuff. The key is to clean it each time you use it, so existing stains don't get cooked into it too much, and it stays pretty easy.
