Nuwave DUET pressure cooker and air fryer REVIEW | SPOILER ALERT, I hate it | Nuwave Duet Review

Nuwave DUET pressure cooker and air fryer REVIEW. Watch to find out why the Nuwave Duet pressure cooker/ air fryer combo FAILS in my book. This Nuwave Duet Review is my honest opinion. I still prefer the Ninja Foodi to all of the other air fryer and pressure cooker combination units but I think the Nuwave Duet is the worst of all.
For some other options please watch this video where I review 4 other combination pressure cooker/ air fryers • Which combination pres...

I really don't like it.

[@The15secondsOfame]

sweetsavant I could see that hot lid, set in the rack on its side, as an accident waiting to happen. Also as you stated, the inadequate handle. No thank you. Appreciate all your videos and critiques 💕

[@theupsideofdownsizing]

I was looking at this unit on Wayfair and thought I would look for a review. Luckily yours was the first video! That lid is too wierd and if sweetsavant doesn't like it, it's a no go for me. Even at a sale price of $159. Thank you!!

[@MichaelMantion]

TY for the video, I agree i don't like it either but it seems to be quiet. Do you know of any airfryer combos that are as quiet?

[@toddgarvin6174]

Got my wife the Newwave for xmas, we both love it. The lid is not a problem for either of us. Its actually quiet easy to use.

[@sailmo1]

I don’t hate mine.....I love it! Don’t know how I got along without it all of these years!

[@catalian1]

The air fryer lid actually has two places to hold and lift. Top and front.

[@StevenSeed00]

I'm loving my Nuwave Duet. Honestly it appears to be nearly identical to the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer and some of the other knockoffs. I think these are all just rebranded with some slight design changes and different controls. The air fryer lid is easy to manage once you know how to hold it. I can even use one hand to remove it. I agree the skimpy little stand isn't well designed, but I added a little double stick tape wrapped around parts of the base and it has helped keep it from slipping, so it's actually nice so you don't have to place the cover upside down on the counter like you do with many of these other air fryers. You can't beat the price right now either at Kohl's ($116 including tax).

[@denniscrabtree2170]

There is a handle on both sides. Use 2 hands to lift it.

[@ericacervantes5444]

Agreed! She didn’t read the damn manual before starting apparently!

I was wondering if you can make few things at the same time and you can. Thank you for showing it in the video. Very helpful. Im buying.

[@baazooka86]

I was wondering about the lid handles too. Seemed very awkward at first but then I realized they had to place the back one the way they did to clear your hand of the extremely hot exhaust fan. Once I found that out (the hard way, ouch) I learned how to orient my hand to lift easier.

[@ceecc3108]

Oh no. I was really rooting for the Nuwave Duet. I always get Nuwave products because they are so good and reliable. This is a disappointment. I was hoping it would perform better and be easier to use. Thank you for sharing your experience. Although that recipe you made looks super good, I think I will go with the Ninja Foodi. I've heard so many excellent reviews and I trust your opinion most of all. If you dislike it, I will pass. Thanks again!

[@sailmo1]

Mya C I love mine, I have used it everyday since Christmas.....

[@RH-pz1du]

Thank you for this review and demo, it was helpful!

[@sweetsavant]

I'm so glad you found the review helpful. Thanks for watching and thank you for your support!

[@YoniNadi]

Can someone please tell me how this Nu Wave duet compares to the Ninja foodie, and similar pressure cookers?

[@wildwood143]

Thank you so much for reviewing this model, the Airfry lid does look like a safety issue. I wonder, if getting one of those flat mats that take heat would work well to rest lid on?

[@YoniNadi]

What I would like in one of those pressure cookers/air fryers is that the inside of the lids to be easily to access to clean off the grease, and grime!

[@cawalkabout]

I Enjoy your videos very much, but we disagree with the liking of this machine, but everyone has there preferences. Keep up the videos, i absolutely adore them. Cheers

[@Clothmom1]

Excellent video. I agree with you on the design flaws of the air frying lid.

[@sweetsavant]

Hi Crystal! Im afraid someone will hurt themselves with that lid. That's a burn waiting to happen. Thanks so much for watching!

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

I would just sprinkle some real bacon bits when I flipped and the moisture issue would be solved ?

[@chewtime5836]

One tip if you ever run into that problem where you have too much liquid into your sweet potatoes. If you have some instant mashed potatoes laying around you could add may be a 4th of a cup to thicken and absorb the extra liquid. This also works for soups and stews where you may nor want to use a cornstarch or flour slurry.

[@monkeymann684]

Great idea. Thank you

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Very tempting to get this. I have a 2K generator and would like an all in one system to take by the river and cook fresh caught fish. The entire set-up could fit in my grand Marquis. 1500 watt jonda generator. $210 for the delux package delivered would love to see someone use a 2K Honda generator and see how well it works. Great way to sell these to tailgater !! NuWave you listening?

[@hannibalspice]

Only problem I have is that the recipes are very limited. Not very clear on the instructions either. Hundreds of presets and open spots for your own presets. Go the extra and get the 12 function unit, the basic combo only has 1 setting for cooking without pressure. I have a whole chicken about to come out of mine. I love it, but it does take up space.

[@sweetsavant]

You make some great points. Clear instructions are needed for this appliance. Thanks for watching!

[@TNOG511]

I love cooking in my Pressure cooker! You Always have These Great Recipes.. This is No Different..oh My it Looks Delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing have a BEAUTIFUL Evening

[@anniefranklin7180]

I got one as a gift and the air fryer part is fine but the space is to small. I find you have to put small batches to fry ...haven't used pressure cooker part yet . The system is very bulky

[@kemhughes5895]

You have such a relaxing voice...l like your videos.

[@anitastevens8976]

I wish I wouldve saw this video before I brought it and returned it , I would've saved time and frustration, very good video, I agree the lid is a safety issue , and difficult , for a person like my self with arthritis , it shouldn't be that difficult to lock it , but it kept saying open lid , the whole purpose to buy ,was not to use my chronic pain hands, so disappointed, I keep searching for an easier , and more safe product ,

[@vaughnschoon9875]

My opinion is to forget the air fryer lid stand when the lid is hot. I use 1/2 baking sheet with a wire rack to set the hot lid on. Much quicker and safer. To me the only use for the included lid stand is for storing the extra lid in a cabinet. I already have other pressure cookers but wanted to try an air fryer and went for this. So far the air fryer has been working very well for me. I really do like all the preset functions that I only use for air frying. I have had to adjust the air frying times (usually less time) for some items to prevent over cooking.

[@lavishgirl]

I’m not sure if you read but you need to allow time before taking off the hot lid off after pressure cooking!! Anywho I have made Ribs and chicken all types of ways. I think I have cooked almost everything I can think of. Lol 😂

[@catalian1]

Can you purchase any accessories? The airfry basket, dehydrating rack, slow cooker lid, skewers, dessert form or replacement parts?

[@lavishgirl]

yes you can.

[@1cynanne]

Thanks for sharing. It’s nice but I’ll keep and stay with my ninja foodi. I find it easier to use. Thanks again.

[@BBReviewsIt]

Your pork chops and sweet potatoes look delicious (even though it might have been a bit dry). Girl, that top looks bulky and awkward. I agree with you. Thank you for doing this recipe. Take care.

[@sweetsavant]

Yes, that lid is definitely awkward to lift. It's a terrible design. Thanks so much for watching

I don’t care what anybody says the duet is a really nice pressure cooker and fryer but I guess you can’t please everybody

[@SuperLittledanny]

great video thank you!

[@sweetsavant]

Glad you liked it!

[@edyoung6573]

Yeah I agree with you after watching!!! Awful lid design!!! Ninja foodi all the way for me! Love your videos!!!

[@kemhughes5895]

I just got my foodi several days ago. I haven’t used it yet, l have been watching a lot of videos on it including yours.

[@sweetsavant]

I've been enjoying using the Ninja Foodi. I think it's a good product. I'm glad you've been watching my videos, I hope you find them helpful. Thanks so much for watching!

[@joelane5698]

And that was her fault if she didn’t know how to put the lid on the holding rack

[@barbara75214]

Could you tie that hair back when cooking or prepping?

[@brendadempsey9124]

Do you have any more recipes for the nuwave duet?

[@sweetsavant]

No, I don't have any more recipes for the Nuwave Duet.

[@sandradavis4359]

The chops and potatoes looked good. That’s a big, bulky air fry lid! ❤️

[@sweetsavant]

The air fry lid is bulky and when it's hot it worse. Not having a secure handle is a recipe for disaster! The chops and potatoes were delicious, though. I'll definitely make that again. Thanks for watching!

[@gerardparker4220]

Recipe sounds amazing

[@carolinda688]

Excellent product!

[@trainer4uu]

Now its 2023 and there is the Ninja Combi that makes this Nuwave device and process so tedious...

[@staceyjones795]

You don't care for the machine but your food look great. If its dry its cause you didn't spray it with oil or rub some oil on anything you cook in any air fryer..it locks in the juice

[@daveinca2]

That lid looked really awkward when you were trying to put it in the stand. If that had been me, I would have been swearing. :) The recipe is the only win from this one. It sounds tasty.

[@sweetsavant]

LOL I was ready to cuss a little! The recipe was good but the design is horrible. I'll definitely use some of the recipes in a different cooker. Thanks for watching!

[@christinaa4612]

When you get the hang of it, it’s easy!

Do the french fries

[@ericacervantes5444]

I disagree with this tittle 🤣 next time read the manual on things like how to handle the lid and stand for before you do a review. Good grief!

[@roseannm5654]

The information that comes with this equipment is useless. e.g. the list of items on the top of the air fryer are never mentioned in any of the directions. Stating something like "to use the air fryer press air fryer" is moronic.

[@rileypotter1673]

4:24 Your portion sizing is wayyyyyy too much on the sauces. Super major cringe.

[@joywatson2006]

Thank you for showing me this! I bought it before I saw this review! UGH I would never had bought this! I think the recipe has one taking off the lid to do too many things for it to also be any real pleasure in even using it! But I will try it, it has sat on my country for over 2 months now Because it seem so over whelming! I miss my Pressure Cooker XL but it was getting too old..
