Hi Clara The casori Dual drawer is currently £119.99 on amazon for prime day. Is this a good price ?

[@CandidClara]

@@wasif1182 It's the lowest price it has ever been! There is a great website called camelcamelcamel.com where you can check the price history (I just did for this) definitely worth buying now if you were planning to get it.

[@lesleydavies39]

Thank you so much for this review. I bought this model on Sunday - my very first air fryer so no experience at all. I have to admit I've been disturbed by all the negative comments I've seen since I got it but you have reassured me.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much for the comment Lesley, don’t worry there are lots of people out there who are very happy with this model.

[@lesleydavies39]

@ Thank you. That's very comforting. Keep up the good work!

[@izzyg8316]

​@@lesleydavies39 Hey, hope you don't mind me asking but, have you experienced any condensation issues with your Stack? I saw a video from another KZbinr that showed condensation forming on the counter around the front of the bottom drawer. I was interested in this model but that, along with the uneven cooking issues that people have been reporting, has made me hesitant in acquiring this model. Mind sharing your experience with the Stack?

[@lesleydavies39]

@ No condensation issues at all, and the uneven cooking is not a problem. I would move food around using the oven, grill and microwave and the airfryer is no different. I think people make the mistake of thinking they can press the buttons then go away and leave it until the time is up. I love my stack and would recommend it.

[@izzyg8316]

@lesleydavies39 Interesting. I wonder what caused the condensation on the other video. 🤔 Yeah, that might be it. People ain't moving it around enough. The instructions do say AT LEAST 3 times so... Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with the Stack, I deeply appreciate it! ❤

Great review. Thoroughly explained usage & features, and demonstration of cooking a variety of foods. This review made us comfortable with purchasing this air fryer and it has been a huge success for us. Your channel is great, please keep the fantastic content coming 👍

I completely understand! It was my obsession with having ALL the information before I purchase anything that lead me to doing this! 😆😆 Really glad to be of help!

[@dubtinao]

Have a small kitchen but looks like i prefer the dual drawer have a lot of measuring to do .

[@dubtinao]

Whats the round drawer type

[@keithedwards3594]

Thank you. Bought a double stack at the weekend, first air fryer and I was beginning to regret the purchase as I’d come across some of the issues mentioned, that said we bought this because of space issues in our kitchen. Watching this review has shown me what I hadn’t picked up from the instructions. I know understand the oven! To be honest not all the tests I’d done were negative, it was just things like toasting bread, but thats easy to compensate and the shaking food more frequently, I’d worked that out through trial and error. I also cooked an egg (in its shell) and that was perfect. All the other features are ideal and for my teenagers, this is easy to use lol. Thanks again, great review and advice.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment. Ninja also now advise that better browning is achieved by putting the crisper plate in the higher position, so try that too

[@EllieyChloe]

I’ve only seen your video after purchasing my double stack and I loved it. I’m sure it was the right choice for our large family and not-so-large kitchen.

[@aded5291]

Great video! I’ve recently replaced my 7.6L dual zone with the double stack. Must admit, I had to re-arrange my kitchen appliances as was not expecting the depth of the double stack to be, well, so deep 😅 but now my mid size kitchen actually looks more spacious! Used the double stack for the first time today, and yes, took 2 minutes longer to cook than the dual zone but it was cooked evenly and tasted good. 😊

[@CandidClara]

This is great to hear! I really like the grey finish to it too, bet it looks great in your kitchen!

As a first time airfryer user I understand that you need to build some experience with your machine despite the individuals ups or downs. So based in your excellent review I bought the double stack.

Fantastic review, I was going to buy the double stack but hadn’t really taken in how deep it is or where the heat vents are. Sounds like it’s a good option for some people, just not for me. You’ve earned my subscription 👍

[@N7Biotic]

This is a great review! I've been wanting to get a dual airfryer for ages, but they just so big for my kitchen. When the Ninja stacked came out, I was so glad as it would fit under my counter and won't take up much room. But the price was just a tad bit much. It's just gone on discount for black Friday and going to treat myself :)

[@brettseaton1125]

I've had mine for a week now and cooked sausages, chips tried some roast veg and some pre baked rolls and all cooked well, cooking times are reasonably accurate certainly no more or less than a conventional oven. Giving the food a shake part way through cooking as per the instructions is a good idea and I do this anyway with conventional cooking. The controls are easy to follow and use and cleaning is easy and quick I'm loving it, I would recommend it especially if you're short on worktop space.

[@sueharvey4747]

I have the dual zone at home but because of shortage of space in our holiday home I had a cheaper single drawer one. Boy did I miss the two drawers so when the stack came on offer I went for it! As you say has some quirks but I am still very pleased with it!

[@CandidClara]

This is the perfect example of why its needed, thank you for your comment!

[@messagesent]

I get what you are saying. If a person has limited counter space and wants a dual airfryer, then this is a great thing. However, some people are not dealing with the limited counter space, so they can use a different device, and this device isn't as good as the other devices in certain areas of cooking. The other devices are indeed better, but they aren't an alternative because of their increased size. The design and functionality are specifically to give a person who doesn't have a lot of counter space a dual airfryer. The limitations are directly proportionate to the footprint of the machine. So it's the best machine that is manufactured at its size and shape. To compare it with a larger machine with different dimensions is really pointless. Because in the end of it all. Yes, another machine is better, but it's too big for the counter. Therefore, it is useless to bring it up. Great video!!! I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel. I like the way the way you think.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you 🙏 Another tip for you, Ninja now advise using the higher setting for the crisper plate to get better browning

[@DeanoEssex]

Actually Clara a few years ago i stumbled upon your channel before i even owned an Air Fryer. You convinced me to get one and i bought a cheapy Air Fryer. I eventually upgraded to a Ninja AF400. I saw this double stack on Amazon after only owning the AF400 for about a year. I gave that to my son and bought the double stack. Hmm bad move.. I've swapped back with my son and he now owns the double stack because i didn't like it as much. I much prefer the Dual Zone. As for the rack i only use a third party rack to make toast as mentioned in one of your other videos. Thanks for this video but i do prefer the Dual Zone.

[@CandidClara]

Yes, I think the Dual Zone is better, BUT if you are really short on space the Double Stack is not bad and certainly not as bad as some of the overly negative reviews have made out

[@izzyg8316]

@DeanoEssex Can you elaborate on the things you didn't like about the Stack? I'm quite curious. I'm currently looking for my first air fryer and the Stack XL is part of my top 5.

[@DeanoEssex]

@@izzyg8316 It only cooked some food half way through. I cooked fish and only one side was cooked, the same with pies only half was chrispy brown and the other side wasn't. I think it's because the cooking fans are at the back and not above unlike the original Ninja. The stack fans only face one side of the food and not the whole food from the top (if you know what i mean) lol 🙂 It's entirely up to preferences but i didn't like the stack for that reason. It's too small of an area to heat up like a rear fan would in an larger oven. Hope this helps.

[@izzyg8316]

@DeanoEssex That's rather disappointing. 😟 But hey, at least you managed to get your Ninja back! 🥰 I hope they can improve on the next iteration of the Stack. This design has potential. They just need to iron up a few things here and there. Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience, I truly appreciate it. God bless. ❤

Thank you for your candid review of the double stack, do you think they may bring out an updated version, to address the small issues. Should i wait before buying? I really enjoyed watching your review.

[@CandidClara]

I thought I replied to this, but no I don’t because I think the “problems” are intrinsic to the shape/design

[@MikeBrincat]

Have you tried using silicone inserts? We sometimes cook saucy or marinaded food which I feel might leak through the back of the drawers? If so does using the silicone inserts slow cooking?

Hi, there are two double stack the SL451UK and also SL400UK, which one would you recommend , not many places sell the SL451UK which I believe is most recent. Thanks

[@CandidClara]

If you aren’t tight on space don’t get double stack. As for the 400 vs the 451, the only difference is the heat probe. There’s currently £30 difference between the two on the Ninja website, get whichever best fits your budget. tidd.ly/3CgXzov

[@snailorgy]

*edit: have been informed that there is a version of the double stack with a probe* for me, the lack of a temp probe was the deciding factor between the two, seems a huge step backwards for a newer model. thank you for the video tho, really helped me decide which model to get

[@cristina_ods]

the Ninja SL451QUK Double Stack model has a cooking probe also (compared to the SL400UK reviewed in this video)

[@snailorgy]

​@@cristina_ods that is good to know, thank you. I didnt realise they had another version of the double stack out.

[@CandidClara]

There are now three versions which mirror the three dual zones, the SL300 is the 7.6L (shown in this video) then the there is the SL400 which is 9.5L and the SL451 which is also 9.5L but with the probe. It is confusing!

[@cheerymeuk]

Thank you. I am limited for worktop space and so I've avoided air fryers previously. However, there was a great deal on the other day for this model so I went for it. Having then seen many of the reviews, searching for recipes, and trying it, I was left wondering if I'd made a bad decision. I found exactly what you'd described (more time required and uneven front vs back). Your honest review and clear instructions will make it easier to know how to adapt those cooking times and techniques to hopefully get the results I'm after. I must say though, that the first meal using the double stack method was perfect. No more cooking two meals for members of the family, having to eat at different times, then with loads of washing up. That was done using the recipe guide that came with it. The accessories video was really useful too.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much for your comment, it’s really appreciated. Bear in mind too that a lot of the “I sent it back” videos are made by people who had no intention of keeping it, they just bought it to make a video and always intended to return it, so a little disingenuous! Do hope you have fun with your new appliance!

[@cheerymeuk]

@@CandidClara I'd actually made some pain au chocolate with shop bought pastry this morning and it was very different to others. Seeing this made it clearer that if I'd used two drawers and kept them at the front it would have worked better as moving puff pastry over and over with tongs wasn't pretty.

Thanks for doing the test that I hoped someone has done. Better than oven but less superlative in consistency - than the last gen side by side ninja product.

Do you still prefer the Cosori Dual over the various ninja duals? And if so, is the reason primarily the touch screen and features or does it cook better/more thoroughly than the ninja?

[@cr0ft-2k]

From 110 volts to 230 volts, that's at least 1000 watts less the 110 volt users can squeeze out of their appliances. Their kettles too are much slower. 230 is just so much better. As for these air fryers, this is a great comparison. I would *prefer* the double stack for less side by side space, but for me having the heater element in the back instead of on top is just basically a deal breaker. The whole point of an air fryer is to use the physics to your advantage - the heater element on top causes convection going around the side, down the bottom and then back up. That is what leads to better browning here I wager, and also the reason why you don't have to do toss the food three times but just once. I'll deal with the inconvenience of using more side by side counter space to get the better air fryer. Appreciate the video a lot, I was all set to order a dual stack but now I know.

[@CandidClara]

The kettles in North America are so bad, when we lived in Canada we ended up ditching the electric one and using one on a gas hob and just embracing the quaintness! Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your thoughts

[@tonyb83]

At 13.24 you say ....the stack is slower to cook than the dual zone. Elsewhere you show the dual zone browns the top of food more quickly than the stack. Surely that is for this reason, which you don't mention The heating element in the dual zone is above the food, so it is being cooked by grilling as well as hot air circulation, unlike the stack which is only cooking food by hot air circulation.

[@CandidClara]

I mention the location of the heating elements at the beginning of the video

[@tonyb83]

@CandidClara Yes you do mention the location of the heating element but you don't mention the fact that in the Dual the radient heat from it at the top, grills the top of the food, which does not happen in the Stack version. By the way I'm not critising you, I'm just mentioning it because your videos are by far the best reviews I've come accross on KZbin and I thought you might like my constructive feed back.

One can decide and choose to purchase or not. For example, yes 3 shakes is a lot, but that said, once one knows, they make decision to weigh up and balance the issues with, the normal things and these two or three extras things are not major. I feel for me, 3 shakes wouldnt be kife changin. I would accept that. Knowing in advance makes all the difference. I will be raiding my piggy bank at sale time. Thank you 🤗⚘

[@CandidClara]

Thank you Anna, I really appreciate the comment. Firstly yes Ninja instructions are excellent for all their appliances, they are well laid out with lots of photos and diagrams so I don't think you'll have any problems. (I also don't have a PHD! 😜) You can usually comfortably fit a 2kg chicken in either of these air fryers. I recommend pressing down on the breast bone to break it before you put them in which makes them lie flatter. You can sometimes have problems with the legs popping up and getting in the way of pulling the drawer out, just trim them down or tie them together if you need to. As far as the steaks, yes you can do 2x 10oz on air fry 200c for 3 or 4 minutes on each side depending on how you like them done and rest for 10 minutes. Thank you again for the comment, I do always try and be honest (hence the name) I think we as consumers need someone to pull apart the marketing fluff and I hope to do that and perhaps eventually tip the balance of power a bit more in favour of us customers!

From what material are the plates in this ear fryer made? I just saw a lot of video's warning about these plate materials being possibly toxic.

[@emilypartridge7173]

The stack isn't much smaller than a side by side air fryer especially when you have to keep the right hand side free for the vents. I think that taking something out 3 times to shake it is excessive. The vents at the back of the drawers mean that you can't put anything liquidy in the drawer and some people do use them instead of the hob. I do agree that the deeper drawers are a good feature and a direction that Ninja should be looking to incorporate with their highly regarded dual (side by side drawer) air fryers. Over all I believe it's not a great design and the proof is in the uneven cooking

[@CandidClara]

How would you have designed it differently?

[@Annointed-r5n]

I love it❤😂..is for people with class..

[@elizabethknapp9806]

When you have a small kitchen it makes all the difference.

[@barrysouthern3026]

Excellent review.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you, really appreciate it. Please consider subscribing! 🙏

[@marcandsebe]

We have a motorhome that doesn’t have an oven and was thinking of getting an air fryer. The double stack looked a good option. Now I’m indecisive 😂 Do you think a single air fryer would be ok? What one do you recommend that’s reasonably. Plus your presentation and clear voice is great. Definitely no anxiety 😊

[@CandidClara]

Thank you Marc! Hold off on your decision making till next week, I’m testing a fantastic countertop oven that air fry’s and more and maybe just the thing for your motorhome!

[@jh-yd6my]

what a fantastic review.

[@CandidClara]

Glad you liked it!

[@tinygreenturtle]

Thanks!

[@CandidClara]

My pleasure!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nice job on the video, Clara. Very well done. 👍

[@CandidClara]

Thanks Joe, really appreciate the comment

[@oiputthatback7361]

Thank you for the review , I was gifted one by Ninja to review. So 😊.

[@CandidClara]

Why were you gifted one?

[@mistermatix8241]

Watch Kip Hakes review, he sent his Dual Stack back due to uneven, terrible cooking. It's a good idea, just badly executed. I also hate the control panel on it, sticking out like an afterthought

[@CandidClara]

Lots of people sent them back… but how many of them followed the instructions to get even cooking?

[@mistermatix8241]

@CandidClara I know, Kip is a technical guy, he'd know that. Ninja boast about their innovative cooking system, but it should deliver better. We've got the Foodie Max, and the 300 dual drawer and they cook brilliantly.

[@martinataylor7702]

You didn't say which one you think is better. And if you think the stack one is worth the money

[@CandidClara]

It would be like comparing apples and pears! Buy the double stack if that’s all you can fit in your kitchen

[@imitsho]

i don't uderstand: which better?

[@CandidClara]

It depends on your needs. Why at you considering the Stack?

[@imitsho]

​@@CandidClara I really like dual zone for meat and vegetable, but I don't understand Stack is better than dual zone or not. Or maybe choose Сombi.

[@CandidClara]

It’s not better, it’s designed to fit smaller kitchens, the original (af400 or af300) are better for most people

[@bbbb1023]

So which is your favorite out of all the air fryers you own ?

[@CandidClara]

I use the Cosori dual drawer at home, that’s my personal favourite amzn.to/4bZVFVo

[@DrunkenMajstor]

​@@CandidClara and what's your favorite single basket fryer?

[@alexmail861]

Excellent video

[@CandidClara]

Thank you… I might let you off for the other comment! 😜😘

[@nicollina4981]

In all the videos I have seen, the same mistake was made. The crisp tray is in the wrong position. If the filling quantity is small, the tray must be in the upper position. This significantly improves the result.

[@CandidClara]

It’s interesting I think they may have updated the instructions since I made that video, originally it was advised you use the higher position for “small frozen items” but I just checked online and the instructions now say you use it “for better browning and grilling results” I’m quite a stickler for doing things the right way so I would have noticed if it said that before. The instructions do also have a note on the last page that says “specifications contained herein are subject to change without notice” 🤔

[@gizmo4774]

Great review. New subscriber.

[@CandidClara]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Trident22]

Beautiful lady you've just made my mind up to get the Ninja Dual. Cheers.♥️👍

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much for the comment 😁

[@surfsquid]

The instructions say you need to "provide at least 15cm of space above and on all sides for adequate air circulation" so if you follow the instructions correctly you probably wont be able to fit it under a lot of cupboards, I know there wouldn't be space in my kitchen.

[@CandidClara]

There's 11.5cm clearance above the double stack under standard above counter cabinets, as long as you give clearance at the back and sides I don't think 3.5cm is worth worrying about

[@surfsquid]

@@CandidClara yeah for sure, I just think it's funny they design a product with instructions that dictate requirements which would make it impossible for most people to use if you did follow them to the letter.

[@CandidClara]

A**e covering! 😉😜

[@hughfr4nc15]

The real question is... Will you share that cookies recipe? 😁

[@CandidClara]

Hahaha! Ow you’re asking! So many cookies cooked in the course of testing! I think it may have been from the Popina baking book which is also my go-to for pastry recipes amzn.to/4egESzB

[@danillibaylis6156]

😊.👍🏼🖐🏼

[@nicozaglmayr]

Sehr gutes Videos

[@CandidClara]

Vielen Dank.🙏

[@_SurferGeek_]

The heating elements in the back makes it essentially the same as the toaster oven style air fryers. Same lackluster performance and uneven cooking. Big fail...

[@spaceworldVIP]

merci pour les petites cryptos à suivre ... toujours intéressant ! si tu en as encore quelques unes à suivre ... merci encore

[@CandidClara]

Merci pour votre commentaire !

[@j.mahoney1178]

After watching this, I will not buy the double stack, I'll stick with my older double.

[@CandidClara]

Only buy it if you need it, otherwise yes definitely stick with the double

[@CMccurley]

After using my ninja 10 times it took me more than an hour to clean the grease and grime off of the upper heating coil and surrounding area. Ninja customer service had no suggestion about how to clean this area effectively. This is a disposable item terribly engineered without any consideration to keep it clean and reusable. 😢

[@CandidClara]

Do you clean the heating element in your oven?

[@CMccurley]

@ The answer is YES! If grease drips or food drops onto the element the it should be cleaned after cooling with a scratch free scouring pad soaked in a baking soda and water paste. Then finished with a light spraying of white vinegar. This cleaning helps to avoid future odor and bacterial contamination to your future baking. The area around the heating element is ALSO important to keep clean and east to do in a conventional oven but NOT in the air fryer.

[@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.

[@CandidClara]

First rule of air fryers, don’t overfill the baskets. Second rule, don’t trust the marketing images!

[@alessandro.teramo]

Ma nn c'è un video che lo spiega in italiano ???!?!?!

[@CandidClara]

Sorry about that! ;-)

[@treasurethetime2463]

The power is divided, so it takes twice as long. Waste of time in North America. Can't get away from those pesky laws of physics.

[@CandidClara]

Yup, the models look the same in the US and Europe but really aren’t

[@Ultra-Violet]

Forget the ninja air fryer, they are overpriced rubbish aimed at wealthier non thinkers. Look at cosori fryers, better quality and cooks perfectly, plus half the price. Ninja 👎🏻

[@CandidClara]

Don't worry, lots of Cosori's on this channel too, there's room for everyone... kzbin.info/aero/PLZIEPowY1h1Z_5-TV4_UC3NG30VBK_00n&si=JlRfLImaz6Pk7Xfg
