The Best Air Fryer? Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Review! AF451UK / DZ550

[@Eli-J]

Simon, I was randomly looking up reviews for this air fryer as I plan to buy one and I didn’t expect to see the same guy who is the only channel I watch for FF8 guides every time I do a new playthrough! 🤣

[@SimonsReviews]

Bahaha, you can't escape me :)

[@andyb7754]

I've had a air fryer for many years and love how it cooks. I just bought the DZ550 (USA) and can't wait till it gets here so I can learn how to use the dual zone. Thank you for the informative video.

[@paulm5443]

We bought this after using the 400uk model. We liked the 400uk model apart from the dial selector that would turn inadvertently to the wrong position. Unfortunately ninja have ruined the 451 by trying to improve things that weren't necessary. The cooling cycle and auto shutdown at the end of the cook is a pain and the temperature probe is far too complicated and doesn't work accurately enough. How the two draws work together to balance the load is ridiculous, making cooking times unpredictable. By all means buy the 400 or the 300 if you can get them but I'd avoid the 451.

Hey man thank you for such a great review video! Really well done and you showed how it cooked several meals. I've got me one on the way mate, over here across the pond. Hope you have a fantastic day!

[@indiana146]

Good effort simon

[@joannewilson743]

Thanks for the very straight forward review - exactly what I needed.

[@mrjportman]

Excellent review… you’ve swayed my decision to get one 👍

[@SimonsReviews]

Brill, I hope you enjoy it!

[@AK-ez4pc]

thanks so much - i love the way you present

[@antecco952]

Great review. Did you roast the kale at 200 for the 6 minutes.

[@indiana146]

I thought u shouldnt put oil in air fryers ??

[@lordteabelly]

brilliant review. ive been thinking of getting into the airfryer game and was looking at this one as my first one, seems to get good reviews and seens ideal once youve mastered the settings and timings etc :)

[@SimonsReviews]

Thanks, all the best with it!

[@shujatwahid118]

Hi - might be a dumb question but does it alert you to turn the food at a halfway point?

[@schumi145gaby2]

No, the only trick is, might wanna cook 20 Minutes, just give it twice for 10 minutes, if you want to be sure 😊

[@reeeek2017]

Not a dumb question

[@robertstewart9658]

No just a recommendation to shake it a couple of times during cooking.

[@indiana146]

Good review sir

[@MWD78]

Thanks for the review Simon. Looking to purchase my first air fryer so this was helpful ❤

[@SimonsReviews]

You're welcome and all the best with the air fryer you get :)

[@DrUnk-ty9tq]

Did you air fry the sausages or roast?

[@SimonsReviews]

We find Air Frying does the trick.

[@DrUnk-ty9tq]

Thanks.

[@derrickpehowdy9495]

Best way to clean the drawers?

[@renwot3435]

Hi, on the sticker of the Air Fryer it mentions using 5 degree increments, however we can only use it in 10s. Do you have the same issue? cheers

[@JoseSanchez-fe8bz]

Hey how did you change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

[@phillipmurphy4964]

What’s it like to clean?

[@SimonsReviews]

Easy, we used to do so by hand, now we're lazy and just dump the drawers and trays into dishwasher. No issues yet.

[@camcrabb4780]

thank you very much for the video! random question, where did you get the chicken breast with skin on? never found them anywhere!

[@deannatrois1]

Thank you very much for your hints and tips. I'd love to know your experiences with the probe as it has been criticised for accuracy (my AF451UK is due to arrive tonight lol.)

[@SimonsReviews]

You're welcome! We actually have not tried the probe yet, despite cooking with this Air Fryer many times now!

[@TheKhaleel97]

Add some more seasoning to your food please mate it's not illegal

[@achujs]

How easy is it to clean the trays ?

[@robertstewart9658]

Very. Nonstick coating and dishwasher safe. (The drawers, but as the manual needs to point out not the main unit.)

[@davidcrerand2367]

What kind of oil did you use?

[@tesla4843]

I have a question because I’ve couldnt find any information whether fan turns off when you open the basket to check food before timer ending ?

[@SimonsReviews]

Yes it does. And it auto pauses the timer until basket is put back.

[@TheRVANDY9]

great video. look forward to more.

[@bigdave121]

You’re kidding surely!?

[@Vluxuation]

I have the previous model to this one and my biggest issue is that if you cook two things at once it never cooks them properly and always requires more time. Does this one have that issue?

[@SimonsReviews]

Thanks for your question. We use both side simultaneously quite regularly, I can't say I have noticed that issue!

[@schumi145gaby2]

Nice review 🤝☺️

[@SimonsReviews]

Thank you 🙂

[@muriellealamelama1310]

How come your pains au chocolat get ready in 10 minutes only while it takes 18 minutes at 170 degrees celcius in my AF400 Ninja ?! Kinda weird....😮

[@anytimelater]

He like it RAW

[@claudioarma]

amazing video, god bless

[@whitehead51]

No need to add all that oil. Just a spray will do

[@krisjeneson5017]

Olive oil is good for you 😮

[@LoriBoynton-uy1id]

You do realise you don’t need any oil for an air fryer right? That’s the whole point of an air fryer 😂😂😂😂

[@sheeplord4976]

Oil adds taste. You don't need oil to cook, but it helps the taste.

[@mattgibson2115]

That is not the "point" of an air fryer...it is healthy option tho....not that olive oil is that bad for you

[@SebastianCollector]
