Air Fryer Oven Battle! Ninja vs Cuisinart vs GoWISE USA - Chicken Wings

There's about a 5-ft space for everything, and a window behind me that causes interference with the light balance of the camera. It is what it is.

An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB a chore which usually kept me from frying all together.

You said crumb tray wouldn’t come out and you bought a new one? Which one did you buy? You don’t recommend the cuisinart?

[@m3rdpwr]

Returned and got another. My crumb tray was stuck or jammed. New one lasted 2 years and 10 months. They replaced in warranty with a new one. Good service. I made a video about this that you can find the details.

I want to know. what/ which air fryer has a round cylindrical rotisserie. What is the name of it..? Thank you...

[@m3rdpwr]

Sorry, my comment never posted, when you posted your question. I have a GoWISE rotisserie, but it's on the small side, as well as another brand, that I won't mention, due to reliability. There is a Cuisinart Copycat with Rotisserie, I will have to find the link and let you know.

[@chuckychuck]

You need a little oil to crisp the skin in some air fryers, is that ninja a tru surround airfryer??

[@m3rdpwr]

I consider the ninja more of a convection over an air fryer oven. It has a small fan on the side, versus a larger fan on top. Otherwise, if it had the large fan on top it would have been a little taller and I would have liked it a lot more. Depending, I may or may not add oil to the wings. However, the chicken skin does have a bit of fat in it, so not always necessary depending if you want more fat in your diet or not. Thanks for watching!

[@m3rdpwr]

For the record, I always used to add a little bit of oil to the wings. It used to help with the sticking of the seasoning. However, now that I don't need as much fat in my diet, I typically don't add oil to the wings.

[@SheilaR.08]

This was very helpful. It's definitely the Cuisinart for me! Faster cooking, more browning, a nice design, and smaller footprint than the Ninja, which is critical with my limited counter space. I had leaned that way initially because of my long and good history with the Cuisinart brand, but watching your demo sealed the deal. 🎯

[@m3rdpwr]

My original Cuisinart had an issue, I've just finished filming three videos with the replacement and when I have the time I will be posting them.

[@hardtruth2039]

You can spatchcock or butterfly a chicken and cook it in the ninja, works wonderfully. We bought the ninja foodi digital for our 5th wheel. We are super happy with it. It’s the perfect form factor for the RV.

Someone else was saying the same thing, thanks for your input!

[@sahilsvision]

great video. Bought the Ninja, the fact that it flips up and frees up counter space was a big reason for me

[@m3rdpwr]

It definitely is a nice looking unit and the quartz elements with fast preheat was nice. I just found that I would rarely flip it up, as it's always in use. Thanks for watching!

[@kathyfann]

I just got the Ninja and I am getting Professional results as the food is cooked and has brought out of that oven you wouldn’t know it wasn’t in a great restaurant

[@EM-ks5my]

My question, when using the Ninja, why not use the recommended rack and instead use the top rack instead? Every oven has a sweet spot, moving away will result in different. And yes, I'm a chef.

[@m3rdpwr]

The quick reference guide says to use the top position, and if I'm not mistaken that's exactly what I did. It does mention you can use it with or without the drip tray on the bottom depending on if it's a greasy food or not. Or do I misunderstand what you are asking.?

[@laraoneal7284]

The Ninja is a no brainer for small spaces. It’s the only option for me. It’s come down in price again to 149.00. Ty again.

[@m3rdpwr]

Ninja came out with cheaper models. They're slightly bigger and bulkier, for a lesser price. I'm not sure if you visit woot.com, but often they have refurbished units for about 80 bucks. I've ordered things like that before and they practically look new. It might be something worth investigating if you're really interested in it. I just felt that the ninja wasn't a true air fryer oven, more of a convection oven. Otherwise it is great for a small space, heats up and recovers quickly and also toasts unlike some air fryer ovens. Thanks for watching, it's appreciated!

When air frying in the Cuisinart, do both the four top and two bottom elements heat up, or just the four on top?

[@m3rdpwr]

Good question, the unit above failed two years and 10 months into the 3-year warranty. Cuisinart replaced it with a very similar model. I would have to check and get back to you to see.

[@surveillancedesarbres]

Great review, thank you. Awesver about the Cleaning at 20:12 It's not true, as it is designed to open it whrn you twist the ninja vertically: you can on purpose to clean it, open the part.

[@m3rdpwr]

I mention this in one of my earlier videos. The problem with flipping up and cleaning, is at times, grease splatter gest on the cleaning tray. When you flip it up to clean, the grease runs everywhere. The grease takes several hours to turn hard enough where it won't drip down everywhere. So if you wait, you can flip up and clean. If you are like me and want to clean it out sooner, it can be a mess. Thanks for watching and suggestions!

[@TheStoli5]

Given all the Air Fryers you have, do you prefer the basket style or the oven? Do you feel food and air fried in the basket style cooks and crisps better than the oven especially when you have layers in the oven? Also the Cuisinart is there only one shelf to do the air fryer on? You can’t do two or three shelves at once?

[@m3rdpwr]

Overall, I think a regular air fryer with the basket does the better job. That being said, not everybody has room for multiple appliances. The air fryer oven while fits the all-in-one void, but I don't think it does a good a job as an airfryer itself. You could potentially put two rows or shells of food in the ovens, however I feel that the bottom doesn't cook as fast and it has to be left in longer.

[@BryanFaust862]

On the Ninja, keeping the sheet pan in and under the basket really helps to keep it clean. Also, from a versatility standpoint, it looks like a frozen pizza wouldn't fit in the Cuisinart or GoWise, but it does in the Ninja.

[@m3rdpwr]

Not in front of it right now, but I believe It had a bump out. The pizzas I make are more personal size, so I think it would be okay. Also, if you don't necessarily need the pan underneath and you are using the bottom elements, it would take away from the heating elements capabilities on the bottom. When I get home, I will update this reply to you.

[@lindanicosia-sherman2109]

Thank you for your review. I’ve been listening to many reviews and decided to go with the Ninja air fryer/toaster oven. One of the reasons I picked it is because I would not use it to make a Rotisserie chicken, since Costco makes a great one for $4.99, and I love making a roast chicken in my clay pot with wine!!! You mentioned in your video that it was a mess to clean up after the chicken wings.Well it does have a drip pan that you can put underneath of the air frying basket, therefore no mess from the chicken wings. I believe you showed this at the beginning of the video with the parts. I love the feature that you can lift it up to put it away but unfortunately my cabinets were 1/4 inch too low, but with that said I don’t think I would ever lift it up, unless I needed the space for prep in my kitchen. I’m extremely pleased with this oven with it’s many functions. Again thank you for your video it was extremely helpful for me to make my decision

[@m3rdpwr]

I'm glad it helped! I am in no way saying it is a bad unit. It's a good looking, stainless steel unit with quartz heating elements. In my unboxing video, I do mention how it flips up for easier cleaning. I use mine on a regular basis, so I never flipped it up to get it out of the way, it just stays as it is and gets cleaned as needed. I have since moved over to a couple other air fryer ovens to test out. Thanks for watching!

[@lindanicosia-sherman2109]

@@m3rdpwr i’m sorry, I did not mean two suggest that you thought it was a bad unit. I think you gave a complete unbiased review of three very good machines with prices. It helped me immensely, As I research everything. I guess my main reason was to thank you for the work you do and to also let you know about the drip pan for the greasy air frying things that may drip into your elements below. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing your other reviews

[@c12issy85]

Does smoke come out of the side of the door when you cook with cuisinart air fryer?

[@m3rdpwr]

The only reason I could think it would smoke, is if you don't clean out the air fryer enough and oil gets into the heating elements. Also, don't confuse smoke, with steam. Some think the steam is smoke, but you will often see steam.

[@lunerwerewolf]

Out of curiosity why did you choose the ninja air fryer oven and not the smaller but taller air fryer oven XL which can handle a full size chicken?

[@m3rdpwr]

Actually, the ninja and the Cuisinart went back. The Cuisinart had a stUCk crumb tray, that's why I could not remove it. The ninja is not a true air fryer. The benefit of the Ninja is was the quick pre-heating times because of the quartz elements, the compact design, the ability to simply do toast and things of that nature, as well as easy cleanup. I ended up returning the ninja, and getting another cuisinart. I also got an OMMO. I'm hoping to have an updated review soon. Thanks for watching!

[@samcarrs]

We're these devices plugged into their own 15 or 20 amp circuits during the run off?

[@m3rdpwr]

Yes, they were all on their own 20 amp circuits. I have a new circuit in the kitchen that is 20 amp, a 20 amp shared circuit that goes into the bathroom which is never in use and original circuit which is on 20 amp, and then I also used the garbage disposal circuit which was 20 amps as well. I have access to one more if I was to do a quad shootout, but I only had to do that once.

[@Tulsaistalking]

honest question. what is it with people wanting the burnt look on food? color you called it? what does it matter if it otherwise fully cooked with no color? you prefer the outside to be tougher maybe? or crunchy?

[@m3rdpwr]

Excellent question. I do not like burnt food! However, I do like having some crisp on the outside of my chicken. Typically it is said 165° f is good for chicken. I've had food poisoning from other people or I should say restaurants cooking my food, but I have never gotten food poisoning from my own food. I usually cook it to 170 plus, and as close to the element as possible so it could get more of that direct heat to get the skin crispy. That being said, some people just like their food cook different ways. Some people will get there cooked rare, which I cannot stand. I need to have at least a medium steak, but I have no issues eating a steak medium well either.

I am about to buy an oven/air fryer and I am pretty sure that Cuisinart is what I am going to buy. It is a. bit pricey but both the function reviews and the safety reviews have largely favoured Cuisinart. There are accidents with all of these kitchen devices but cuisinart appears to have fewer. The glass can explode on all three but that happens less, according to reports, to the Cuisinart. The plastic on the Go wise occasionally catches fire. These problems are not particularly common but common enough to keep in mind when choosing. The plastic burning on the Go Wise is not necessarily a defect in the device as it is very possible, even likely that the thing has been situated improperly so that there is not enough airflow around and and on top of the oven.

[@m3rdpwr]

You're always going to have problems no matter what. I had the $400 breville, and it broke twice so when it was replaced the last time, I sold it. As far as fires and melting goes, not properly cleaning it out with excessive grease inside, or properly spacing as you mentioned can be a big problem. Also some people need to use extension cords due to placement and not using a proper extension cord causing excessive heat. I've had pretty good luck with my Cuisinart. The main air fryer fan itself is good still, the secondary circulating one buzzes every once in a while. However, so far, the Cuisinart air fryer oven has been the best oven for me so far. It is simply lacking a rotisserie, however there is a clone of the Cuisinart that actually has a rotisserie as well in it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's made off the same assembly line.

[@JohnnyWrongo-b9l]

@@m3rdpwr There are a number of different problems and no brand is error free but some are more likely to burn or melt (plastic) than others. Of course, we can't auto assume the manufacturer is the source of the problems but there have been big recalls and more will likely come in the future. We also can't assume the makers are innocent. There are a variety of safety concerns such as toxic out gassing that is an issue with Every model and make. That can be dealt with by running the device at high temps a couple of times before cooking food in it. The non stick coatings are of concern but there are a variety of chemicals such as mold release lubricants and other chemicals sprayed on the metals, even stainless steal that one can and should deal with. That is normal stuff and isn't an argument against such kitchen appliances. Just things that one should consider with new cooking appliances.

the thing with air fryer sizes is a deal breaker for many people. i think capability is more important than size. if you spend a lot of money on something solely because its smaller then i wonder why even buy an air fryer. if space is a factor then dont buy one in the first place. i dont have a lot of counter space myself. i have a small counter by my fridge where i keep my oil electric fryer and flat electric skillet. my air fryer is on my main counter which is an L counter. i cannot cook in it against the wall because it gets fairly hot. it has the same footprint as any other air fryer oven. its just taller. people will buy the ninja oven based on size but in reality it has the same footprint of everything else. its just not as tall. thats all it is. in reality the ninja is just as big as every other fryer, just shorter. and buying a larger fryer is not really that much bigger than everything else.

[@m3rdpwr]

The cuisinart, is bigger than the breville. My brother was big, but it fit okay in the space. The Cuisinart was larger, because it sits in a corner which makes it seem larger than it actually is.

[@johncazaly3294]

Hi there, I am on my 3rd air fryer now. I started with one that revolves so as you look down from the top it goes round in a clockwise manner. One speed, can't get anything big into it, pretty useless. The next one I liked from the beginning, a Princess 1700 fairly simple unit. I liked it and it worked well (no toast). Trouble is I wanted something that would allow me to toast so when you mention size think also about losing the toaster from the worksurface. Also the inner cooking pan when put in the dishwasher (Miele using Finish Powerball) it took all the non stick coating and went rusty looking.. What on earth is the point of having a cooking pan that won't go in the dishwasher! Third I have the Ninja 8 in 1 digital. I never cook big high items like a whole chicken, or crown stuffed roast of lambs ribs. I have the oven for that. My thoughts on the Ninja, yes I love it. No I don't want to cook 9 slices of toast at the same time, I am only 71 Kilos and want to stay that size. I use 1 slice of integral bread with 5 seeds. To get a light warm brown toast I have to set it on 2 slices and number 4, so this bears out what you say about the chicken wings. Steak: I have a cast iron almost flat pan. I preheat the oven to 225C for 5 minutes with the pan inside so it is very hot. With the steak I put it in a plastic container, liberally cover it with Avocado oil, black pepper and garlic salt. Leave to 2 hours (or overnight). Take it out of the fridge to get to room temperature (warm room) Take the pan out of the over and put the steak onto the plan so it sizzles. Back in the oven, 5 minutes, turn over for 5 minutes (depends on how well you like your steak) take out and leave it to settle for 20 mins. Enough space to cook jacket potatoes at the same time. Tender, juicy, that slightly dark brown outside to the meat where it has caught on the hot pan. Absolutely the best steak. Cooked several steaks and always juicy inside and crisp and the outside. Taste amazing. No more space for other things I have don in it.

[@johncazaly3294]

Sorry, me again. You did say teh Ninja was hard to clean. If you put the pan beneath the air fryer tray it catches teh drips and because the fan is at the side it circulates the air between the trays. Easy to clean.

[@m3rdpwr]

I had this question come up before. It was somewhere between pages 8 and 13 in the manual. You do not need to use the drip tray with very low greasy foods. If you are cooking a pork chop for instance, it has a low grease factor and you don't necessarily need it. However, if you had chicken with skin, burger or anything like that, I would definitely use the tray underneath. I will read your other message in a moment.

I love our Cusinart 65, but how do you keep in inside by the heating elements clean? I'm very particular and want it nice and clean-looking.

[@m3rdpwr]

To be honest, I usually give up after a short while because it's very difficult to keep clean. That goes for any type of oven for me. At best you can use a damp towel, but you need to make sure you do not touch those heating elements. there are some people who really enjoy keeping them clean, but I just do quick wipe Downs now and not worry about how dirty it looks inside. Yes, I can be a slob sometimes. LOL

[@velestarouse3709]

I want to add a countertop air fryer oven to my list of small kitchen appliances 😩. That being said your video was extremely helpful. While I like the sleek look of the ninja, it does not offer a whole bird or ham capacity as the others for around the same price. I would not have realized oven height capacity was important to me until I saw your comparison video. Keep putting out your videos...they are helpful.🙂

[@scottmackey4182]

So how about the stains on the tile backsplash? Is that from your air fryer’s? You didn’t mention which unit caused those stains on your tile. Also, wouldn’t durability of a stainless steel product be important over a plastic unit?

[@m3rdpwr]

This is a fantastic question. Some of my air fryers have vents in the back, versus venting out to the top sides. The ones that vent in the back, are more susceptible to staining the back splash. I think in 3 years of videos, you may be the only one or one of two people who have noticed that. I think stainless steel is a great product that looks good. However not all stainless steel ovens are created equal. Some do actually stain, whereas the plastic ones are easier in my opinion to wipe down. I think the breville and the ninja stainless steel were pretty decent as far as being able to clean and their appearance. However, I questioned some of the other units. It's very easy to forget about the backsplash, especially if you don't physically remove the entire oven to do a deep cleaning of your kitchen. I also find that the air fryer ovens like the gowise and ommo tend to leak at the bottom seams in all over the counter top. The go-wise air fryers and the air fryer ovens, as well as many other copycats, have vents in the back which releases the steam and obviously some of the oils and whatnot. Thanks for the great question!

Yeah, it seems that a lot of the air fryer Ovens that are budget-minded only goes up to 400 Degrees. The Breville and the ninja ovens go much higher.

The Ninja also has a tray to put under the basket to avoid dripping grease.

[@m3rdpwr]

Correct. It is recommended to use the tray, if using greasy drippy foods. I find the tray sometimes to be counterproductive, since the bottom heating elements are on. Thanks for watching!

[@donnamentrasti2695]

@@m3rdpwr FWIW, I tried the Foodi for the first time on chicken wings last night. I used the tray underneath to catch the drippings from the skin as they cooked; thank goodness, because what a mess to clean if I hadn't. I cooked at your suggested 430 and I don't know if that had anything to do with it because Ninja suggests 400 for wings, but my smoke alarm in my apartment went off three times during cooking so I lowered to 400. Aside from that though, the wings were perfect, crisp and moist. Clean up was relatively easy too (mostly just the tray and basket), not only because of the tray catching the drippings, but after the unit cools and you remove the crumb tray and wire shelf, you can turn the unit upright and drop open the bottom; it's much easier to clean everything inside the unit, especially the top and sides which gets most of the splatter, then to not have to strain to try and clean the inside top portion around the elements. Great feature of this product no other I've seen has. Just my two cents. Thanks for an informative video.

[@JLang-bn3hs]

Why didn’t you put the drip pan under the chicken in the ninja?

[@m3rdpwr]

I could have, but I found it counterproductive, since the bottom heating elements were on. If you have foods that are not fatty, greasy or oily, you likely don't need the drip pan. Fatty foods that drip, you should.

That's a tough one. You would probably have to spatchcock the chicken. If it was just a little too hard, you could push down on the backbone and break it. This would make it shorter. However, I feel it would burn on the top side.

My kids use the toaster oven multiple times a day for small pizzas, chicken strips, fries, etc. I would like to consolidate toaster, toaster oven and a larger air fryer.

Air Fry; Air Roast; Air Broil; Bake deserts or dinners, delicious baked potatoes; toast bagels or plain toast (program for up to 9 slices) dehydrate; cook sheet pan dinners with protein and veggies, and my Ninja includes a temperature probe to program your protein (beef, pork, fish) for rare, medium rare or well done with auto shut off and signal when done. No guesswork w/perfect results. I have several Ninja products and think Ninja products are Number One for performance, quality and reliability!!

I bought the ninja- I’m super happy with it!!!

[@m3rdpwr]

I believe the ninja was constructed well and heated up fast. As long as you're not going to cook a full size chicken or you spatchcock that chicken, it's an option. The quartz elements heat up very quickly and I think it had the largest tray that was square, so you could just keep turning it 90°. My one issue with it was the fan was on the side rather than the top. So I considered this more of a convection oven and not an air fryer oven. It is a good option though.
