Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven vs Power Air Fryer Oven 360

[@sherriekimball937]

For those of you who doubt the Ninja “brand”, listen up. I have been using both my Ninja Crockpot system (slow cook, sauté, bake +++) AND my Ninja Blender system (blender, crusher, smoothie maker +++) 2-3 times a week for 5 years and both are still going strong! I live in a small space and so real estate in my kitchen is priceless and I hold my wallet close to my heart. As with everything else, I research for months and was down to these 2 air fryers. Once again Freakin Reviews came through! Joining the lineup this Christmas is this Ninja Air-fryer! Thank you! I really want those scissors too! Where is the link?

[@MPInvictus]

As someone who sells appliances, it was really obvious from the start that the Ninja would work better. A very basic principle of air fryers is maintaining heat and high airflow. The Ninja has a higher wattage element and a smaller total volume to heat. The smaller volume also means it needs to move air less relative to the Power to get the same results. This is why "basket" style air fryers work almost universally better than oven style ones, but the same goes for a tiny oven versus a large oven.

[@CarinaCoffee]

This is actually a helpful reply, because I was thinking about maybe getting the Ninja with the dual baskets (or any other basket air fryer over 4l volume), but I've seen a lot of people use this oven one before and I really only need an air fryer for things like chips (French fries), dumplings, pasta crisps and maybe some (vegan) dino nuggets. I was worried that maybe the basket ones wouldn't have as good of an air flow as this oven style, but I have to say, I saw someone from the UK just review the new stackable dual zone Ninja vs the regular one with wider chips (French fries) like he used here and even the ones from the stackable Ninja looked more evenly crispy than from the Ninja oven (and the stackable one is not as good as the side by side one, probably because the air flow comes in from the back and not the top like it does in the side by side one)(edit, they were air fried for 12 minutes in both dual machines). Your comment and all the reviews I've been watching today have really helped me, thank you!

[@lissaw4]

@@icytower38 I've really been considering getting one. I genuinely use my toaster oven/counter top oven daily - and far more often than my actual oven. I had upgraded to a nicer kitchen aid counter oven but they released their expensive air dry, dehydrator, etc oven a few months after. So I've really been debating which to upgrade to the new kitchen aid or Ninja. What has been your experience with doing meats and stuff like that? Like in my counter top oven I have right now it's probably as tall as the power air fryer in this video. I can make 3 chicken breasts at a time, meat loaf, burgers, tender loin, etc. I can't fit a whole chicken in it though. Have you had good success with doing meats? I do like that the Ninja seems much faster than any counter top oven I've been able to find. I know he likes his toast and other things a lot more crispy than I do. Do you find that it cooks too fast or it's harder to control darkness/crispiness/burning? Sorry if this is a lot of questions. Thank you for any help or answers you can provide. I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this crazy time ❤️

@@lissaw4 I'm curious too, if anyone has any info or suggestions... Frozen to plate. 🙂👍

[@L1ttlef0ot]

I think the 300 watt difference is what’s making it do so well, combined with the smaller area for preheating. While they both eventually get the food cooked (the 360 taking about a 1/3 to 1-2 longer on average), then you have more power consumption for the same amount of food vs the ninja, despite the higher wattage it is being used for much less time. Also, the longer the food is cooking, the more moisture is cooked out of the food. Such as with the chicken and broccoli, the quicker the chicken is cooked to desired doneness, the chicken is less likely to dry out. Great review! I hope I have room for this under my abnormally low cabinets. I have a standard $40 black and decker 4-slice toaster oven I got 3 years ago and getting kinda tired of how unevenly it cooks. I don’t ever cook taller items in it, so I think the short form factor of the ninja won’t be a problem for me. If I have bigger things then I can use my apartment’s oven (it is a compact oven range, and the temp gauge seems to be off by around 30 degrees, but it does just fine).

[@Edwin.Fernando-g7n]

Wonderful review! 🎉

[@lanceokino9886]

[@GaryScott-pdx]

It's obvious that the Ninja will heat up faster because it is 300 watts stronger than the Air Fryer so heat up time is not a fair comparison. How it cooks after the warm-up period is a fair test.

[@mimi2the4]

Thank you for pointing out the obvious to everyone who can't seem to grasp it has nothing to do with size, and becasue clearly the ninja holds more food

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Fairish. A smaller interior volume and higher wattage also means that it can more rapidly make up for heat lost when the door is opened.

[@lore6628]

Yeah they have an 1800 watt now wonder how that holds up

[@nareshwildbones]

@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co a oven will keep heating and maintaining the temperarure all the time. So once that space is heated up, they are all standing on the same start line

[@Terri_Hugs]

Makes sense!

[@crystalBall9287]

Direct cooking comparisons can be a bit skewed mainly due to the machines likely being different wattage and the distance the food is from the heating element. They both seem like very solid devices. I like that the ninja is so compact and can flip up

[@joyc2520]

I wish you had also reviewed what you thought of the quality of the machines - how solid do they feel, do the controls feel sturdy, how much noise do they make when cooking, how much heat do they emit., what is the warranty of each and what is customer service like to deal with if you have a problem..? In other words, do they feel like a quality product, built to last for many years - or several months...? Thanks.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

15:15 I do it all the time in the oven. As long as the chicken is in fairly small chunks (no bone-in thighs, in other words) it can roast with most vegetables just fine. Carrots and potatoes need a little more time, so I'll put them in for a few minutes alone first then toss in the chicken.

[@jarek0737]

Yeah I do it as a single guy for meal prep. In other words people doing a large batch and having it for lunch for 2-3 days out of the week.. Along with fyi, eating healthy has more benefits. I had for 3 months straight, than tried fast food and it made me physically sick.

[@ThunderTHR]

I recently got the Ninja as a Christmas gift and even with my limited use so far, I love it. The fact that it preheats *SO FAST* is really what does it for me. I'm so used to my old toaster oven's preheat times that I often am not even fully prepared by the time its fully preheated! Its my first time having an air fryer, and I'm very happy with it so far.

[@megashub]

I’d be curious to see these same tests but simply move the food trays up to a higher position on the air fryer 360 and see if being a bit closer to the top heating elements improves its performance any.

[@TheEmbersFromAshes]

Exactly! 360 will still take longer to preheat due to lower wattage and larger capacity, but moving food closer to the element will make it brown more quickly. I don't quite get the obsession with foods browning. If fries are cooked and crispy what does the color matter? To me the French toast and broccoli done in the ninja both looked burnt.

[@TheEmbersFromAshes]

@@shish_taouk Charred broccoli just doesn't do it for me, French fries don't matter to me as long as they're cooked and somewhat crisp. I'm aware of searing meat to keep the juices in but that's supposed to be done quickly otherwise meat can be tough and/or overcooked.

[@team5revolution761]

Nice review. One aspect you may have overlooked: The Ninja fryer is rated at 1800W, which is at the edge of the common 15A (Ampere) circuit (14-gauge in-wall wire in modern homes) if your line voltage is 120V AC. (simplistic arithmetic, 1800/120 = 15). Since line voltage varies, and it is often less than 120V, it is possible to overload the wiring circuit. More often than not that will be a non-event, for a small overload. But it may trip a breaker (or blow a fuse) from time to time, as long as the circuit is protected. In any case, make sure there are no other loads on that circuit or, even better, use a 20A circuit (12-gauge electric wire, protected with a larger capacity breaker). The 360 is rated at 1500W, which is a more conservative, tamer proposition, even if marginally a disadvantage in your review. If you rate cook time, please do consider power consumption and power efficiency. There are easy to use devices that can measure power consumption at a kitchen outlet.

[@rodmunch69]

@@ssmodk The Ninja ovens I've seen actually have a pretty large fan in them compared to other convection ovens - also they do an excellent job of temperature control - also since they're 1800 watts they heat up very quickly compared to others. I've had a convection microwave oven for over 15 years now, I've probably used it 10 times as a convection oven because it does a very poor job at cooking stuff. The temp control and air movement and nice build quality is what you're paying for. But yes, if I want to make a pizza, I can preheat my normal oven, wait 15 mins for it, then cook it according to the box and it comes out perfect - but it's also nice to be able to preheat in 2 mins and then cook it and have it come out perfect.

I believe that the 360 should have been set at 5% - 10% higher temperature for the same duration of time to adjust for the difference in the wattage between the two ovens. Theoretically that should have eliminated the need to cook the food with the 360 longer. Any interest in testing out this theory?

[@watcherofwatchers]

The wattage of the oven should not matter, except for speed reaching the desired temperature. The temperature is the temperature. If one has to modify the cooking temperatures or times, then there's a problem with the product.

Instead of walking away for 5 or 10 minutes waiting for preheat you just continue getting ingredients ready and then bam! The ninja is ready. It Cooks frozen pizzas so nicely, they taste so good and fast too. When you're hungry and you want tasty and fast, the ninja is the bomb! I also like that it toasts very well, so I don't need a toaster. The power xl360 just didn't toast well enough where I felt like I could forgo having a separate toaster. The Ninja toast just fine and is simple to use. I didn't expect there would be much difference between the two, but the Ninja really wowed me. I have a lightly used power XL 360 for sale..

Hey James! I really enjoy your reviews. I have the 360 oven and have to say that you should be using different rack placements depending on what you're cooking. For example most of what you cooked could have been put at the "broil" rack level to make it a more fair comparison. By using the middle rack you're giving the 360 a disadvantage over the ninja where the food is always super close to the heat source. Sorry it was driving me nuts this whole video. Can you do a retest and use a different rack that is the same distance from the element as the ninja?

I like the look of the ninja, with the sweet display and the tilt storage. But the PAF has more space which makes it more versitile for me. But I have a shockingly nice $15 toaster oven. I don't need another product.

[@bobsquires4521]

my $15 toaster oven is crumbling and corroding as we breathe. lol so, something must be done.

This was one of my smartest purchases this year. And my Bartesian. 🙂 Great review, as always.

[@immanuelhensley6911]

I've been waiting on this one love the video man

[@johnv6806]

Thank you freakin reviews! I recently got a ninja air foodie thanks to your review and after a few weeks I love it! It's replaced both my toaster oven and oil fryer. Only a few things so far it doesnt do as well as my old oil fryer!

[@johnv6806]

The warm up time is INSANE! 1 maybe 2 mins compared to 10ish for oven or fryer!

Looks like wattage and airflow enables the Ninja to win. Like you I was a Power fryer admirer until now.

Best comment!!

This was so pure and cute what a great comment I just saw a family of ducks tonight in a parking lot so the whole visual of it is so adorable

[@SuperVertrix]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!

[@EDBailley]

Ninja wins! Yay! I'm getting me a Ninja air fyer oven, I been waiting for this review to get one now its confirmed I'm getting one. Thanks James for the awesome review.

[@jesebsp]

food has to be really flat. the exterior gets really hot. the only part that doesn't get hot is the touch screen and the door handle. you can't put a whole chicken or roast in it.

[@Kevin_747]

I have the Ninja and really like it. My favorite is the air roast sheet pan meals. You get better with time and experience on time and temp. settings. Its great for what I want in a counter top oven.

[@mygoldfishrocks]

Where is the dehydrator test? Also, I think it's important to let your viewers know what the materials are made of in the products you review. Is the door plastic or glass, and are the pans ceramic coated, or old, non-stick coated? These things definitely are determining factors in whether or not I purchase a product.

[@TamraN]

I agree I would have liked to see a dehydrator test but the materials questions are a quick google search away.

[@markc1894]

Tamra N there’s no point in drying over 120 degrees your just killing your food . So basically it’s not called dehydrating

[@sjgriger]

Thank you for reviewing these two air fryers. I have a small traditional round air fryer, I love it, but it is smaller than a toaster oven size. I was considering purchasing the Power Air Fryer Oven 360, after this review, I will be purchasing the Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven.

[@midwaydhaba]

You r the best KZbin channel review for products.

[@jacalynhill7132]

Thanks for this review. It is helpful to my shopping choices!

[@marlabaldwin7011]

Before seeing this video I had pretty much made up mind to buy the Air Fryer 360 but watching this has changed my mind. Looks like I will be getting the Ninja Foodie. I do like the it folds up to get out of the way when not in use. The only plus that I saw for the 360 was rotisserie which honestly I probably wouldn't use that often anyway. So glad I saw this video. Keep up the great reviews James 👍

[@BeckyA59]

I was thinking the same thing, the Power Air Fryer sounded great until I watched the comparison

[@laurahair3719]

I bought the Ninja Foodi for myself for Christmas. Myself, husband and three teenagers love it. It gets used everyday for various foods an settings. I bought it at Kohl's on sale and then also got Kohl's cash back. With those savings it was super inexpensive. It also is so convenient. We fold it up after it cools and it is out of the way. Great purchase!!!

[@flipsickle1122]

Lately i've been seeing videos of this glue that instantly fixes cracked screens on your phone and car windshield. The cracks magically dissapear with this glue. Could you do a video so we know whether or not the product actually works as advertised?

[@gregwillams8324]

Do you have a garage sale for all of your not used anymore buys? Or an Amazon page with them on it? I would love to purchase some of these

[@NeedleDrops]

Wouldn't want to toast on max in the Ninja. Also that French toast is toast with egg. Way too crispy.

[@NeedleDrops]

AAAND you didn't have the fan on the power air fryer 360 when roasting. Convection vs radiant convection will always win.

[@webking185]

The french toast looked toasted...not my style

[@jdisdetermined]

He just quickly splashed it in the egg mix, you have to aggressively dunk the bread and hold it under like you're trying to drown the life out of it.. 👍👌

[@danatrang8089]

Thanks James, i am looking for one to airfry egg rolls. I normally spray egg rolls spam before air frying them, but my old one broke. I can't wait to try mine rolls on this new device.

[@Uniongamers]

Am I the only one who got a Power Air Fryer Oven 360 advertisement before the video started?

[@robertmcdonald3101]

Me too. I wonder if it was on purpose?

[@MsKewi-NYC]

I got Emeril's air fryer before the video. I'd love to see his vs. Ninja. 😂

[@TheMrKristens]

I got Emeril's air fryer too!! Lol but glad to know they aren't targeting us...at all...not the teensiest bit. 😳😕🤣 PS...IF they had paid attention to James, they would know we are all interested in the Ninja now.

[@BrainBomb]

I got it also lol

[@mpatrickthomas]

The one with Emeril. 😂😂😂😂 Yup

[@danroden830]

got the ninja for 179 at target and an additional 20% off with card / wheel. awesome buy. big but not monstrously huge. the flip up feature is nice. its lower profile lets the food be closer to the heating elements so its going to always beat a toaster / boxy shaped oven every time at the cost of no rotisserie which i didnt envision myself using so no loss there. it wont fit a standard muffin pan or casserole dish as the handles end up making them about 1/2 inch too wide. its about 12.5 x 12.5 opening so you'd have to buy the special made ones or find knockoffs that fit.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

I remember being turned off by the name Ninja, perceiving the company as subpar vs. the top established Brands, but they really make some quality products.

[@solohikr7759]

I have the Ninja coffee maker, best one I ever owned. I have owned top name brands like Bunn. Ninja hands down

[@sarapyle9948]

I have found in the AFO 360 that if I am using another air fryer recipe, that I increase temperatures by about 25 to 50 degrees and that helps with the browning.

[@elitedestroyer0083]

Honestly just make the ninja taller and it'd be the perfect oven/airfryer.

[@cwilliams7604]

I believe there is a taller model now

[@johndrennanjr594]

AGREED

[@wesleythompson451]

I like its current height. It flips up for more counter space when not in use. Making it taller will give you less counter space when stored, so I'm not too worried about not being able to cook a chicken in there.

[@semipcgeek1]

A few days ago, I saw Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360 on TV. Appears to be very similar to the Power Air Fryer XL by Eric Theisse, which seems to be a rebranding of this video here. Both are by Tristar. What is a good comparison between the PowerXL Air Fryer Grill to the Air Fryer Oven 360? Pros and Cons? Anyone out there had a chance with one over the other to compare notes with on opinions?

[@JillontheLake]

Ninja all the way. Thanks for this review, when I free up counter space, Ninja will come home to me.

[@suserman7775]

I bought this Ninja because of this video. Excellent product, so much more speed and consistency than my previous toaster oven. I've used every accessory and every cooking mode except dehydrate. I do keep it flipped up and out of the way. Love the bottom door for access to cleaning.

[@Magziesfuntime]

It doesn't pre-heat fast. The ninja has less surface area to heat. The other air fryer has twice the area to pre heat.

[@Magziesfuntime]

Also leaving the door open while checking done is cooling done the fryer allot.

[@mimi2the4]

And yet you can fit more food in the Ninja

[@felixmadison5736]

How do steak tips cook up in the Ninja?

Great review and comparison, I loved that you gave actual size measurements. I’ve made my mind up, on which one I’m buying. Thank you !!

[@kimberella2105]

A lot of that ninja food looks burnt though. Seems like they might be running at the same times but different temps and settings

[@DimT670]

That food is definitely not burnt. Charred maybe, but that just adds flavour

[@cblazgoogle3844]

I bought my NINJA a couple years ago bc of James’ review.. I still love it👍👍 Makes the best toast, biscuits, pizza, etc 👍👍👍👍

[@ChronosCooper]

James. Do an Induction cooking test. I was recently introduced to induction cooking and it blew my mind!

[@galactic_socialist]

When I was a student chef In the 80s they had Industrial combo convection+microwave ovens that could do a crown roast of lamb in 15 minutes. I'm really surprised they haven't dominated the home oven market. I've seen a few "home" models but they were super expensive and oversized

[@ChronosCooper]

@@galactic_socialist We had one. I do not know if it was a bad brand but it toasted itself. My parents had to take it out. It was good for a quick cheese paratha bread. The end result was crispy, melting holiness! :D

[@swiger416]

Great video. Informative and well done. Thanks for helping me pick a new toaster oven. The Ninja

[@homeuser117]

Cooking fast is always the right idea. You need to check if it’s properly cooked through. The outside might look burn cooked, but the inside might be raw inside.

[@lawrenceschiavo2259]

This was a very helpful video. I was considering the Power Air Fryer 360, but it's clear to me, the Ninja Foodi is the one for me. Thank you James White !!!!

[@dirkkeeler1348]

[@JustKiddingPro]

Does the Ninja do Dehydrating like the Power Air Fryer 360? If so that may be a good test- which can do it faster or better.
