What's the difference between AF300UK and AF300EU ?

[@ladybird242]

THIS is the review I've been looking for!! btw the tape on the worktop is genius. I've been researching all evening and I now know (purely due to this video) that I do indeed want the larger.

[@CandidClara]

This comment really made my day, it's great to know when a video helps someone! Thank you for taking the time to post it.

[@LemonPuf]

@@CandidClarathat’s what made my mind up too! Seems the 9.5 is slightly taller than the 7.5 but not much difference in LxW

[@supermeseriasu]

@@CandidClara Hello, is the ninja af300 ok for 2 people? Does the af400 cook better or are there no differences?

[@korges2590]

Best Comparsion i have seen. Thank you for that. Going for 400

[@CandidClara]

So glad it was helpful!

[@User51813]

This is a fantastic comparison review. Thank you 😊

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much for the comment, really appreciate it (particularly when I have a habit of spending the whole next day thinking about how I could have made it better! 😆)

Great video Clara - clear and to the point! I'm sold on the AF400!😃😃

Thanks for making this video - one of the most informative and candid reviews I’ve watched here on KZbin. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to watching more. I’ve liked and subscribed. 👍🏻

Thank you so much for the comment, it’s really appreciated. Happy Christmas!

[@wangarikamau1118]

Came across this video as I was looking for a review on the 400 one and I have to say, this is the best review yet! I am about to get mine delivered soon and this video just reaffirmed my choice😊

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much for the comment 🙏

[@martynsmith7647]

This is the third video of yours that I've watched after deciding I wanted to upgrade to a Ninja Air Fryer. I have to say I'm really impressed with your presentation style, the clear explanations, and you have a knack for answering all the questions that I've been pondering. With that in mind, the A400 will soon be arriving at my door. Thank you for making the decision easy!

[@Amileo350]

We just bought the Af300 there is only two of us. Didn’t realise though that the tins you use wouldn’t actually fit inside drawers. I want to make crumble. I cooked a 1.6 kg chicken absolutely fine. I cut the legs and moved them down. No burning

[@CandidClara]

Gah! I'm sorry I didn't point this out. I'm actually working on building a visual guide for every single air fryer which shows specific tins inside the drawers, which will hopefully help everyone (me included!) to remember what fits in what.

[@markrees6792]

This video was so helpful. Had my AF451 delivered today after worrying it would be too big. Showing the difference in size using the tape on the counter was perfect. Great video and helped me decide. Gained a subscriber. Thank you

[@CandidClara]

Thank you, so glad it was helpful and I really appreciate the comment

[@ironhorsehero1988]

Really helpful review, I’m reminded of the old saying, what will hold a lot will hold a little. Even though we are just a couple we still like to have chicken and beef/ham joints etc. After watching your review I’m leaning towards the 400.

[@CandidClara]

So glad it was of use! I’ve not heard that saying before, but I love it. My husband and I usually disagree over size, he always wants the bigger of anything and I like compact, but we actually agreed on this!

[@Eflodur]

Cool idea with the stripes for size comparison. Great for decision helping. The cosori dualzone with 8.5l would be in between the two.

[@CandidClara]

Yes, exactly kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqOufod9ltd1eNUsi=RNImolR9_Nx0-C6H

[@Eflodur]

@@CandidClara the cosori is on the way to my household your videos helped a lot. I am curious if it will be beneficial for me. Have you ever had concerns when eating fried food cause of acrylmid?

[@simonthompson22-ex33]

Hi have the 400 and after about 2 months the dial is faulty and selects the next one up or below setting , I think the heat is damaging it , so I bought the 300 , perfect not had one issue , and prefer the buttons and display close together on the 300.

[@CandidClara]

Do contact Ninja customer services about the 400, they are very good, I had to deal with them… kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4TOhKOYjc6tsKcsi=KBhT-RuM9D1dmC2_

Fantastic review. However, we are torn between the 9.5l dual zone and the 10.4l flex drawer ninja! Hoping you might have reviewed it - will search now :-)

[@CandidClara]

This is definitely a review I am considering doing, but I’m afraid I haven’t done yet!

[@The_Fat_Bald_Trucker]

TIP: If burning the top of a large roast, or chicken etc, place a small piece of aluminum foil over the top of food. That will spread the heat over and around.

[@therealist2000]

Thank you !

[@maynardburger]

Be careful with this though, cuz all the air circulation can easily leave a light piece of foil to get thrown up on the heating element.

[@Jognu]

I'm currently looking into air fryers and this video was very helpful!

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment, I think it’s the big Black Friday purchase this year!

[@dotnetdevni]

Am at the same decision but the 4000 is down to 179 so making it harder to decide

[@KadeemMay]

Buy the bigger one it’s a no brainer.. the extra space is a life saver

[@lwj1013]

thanks for the amazing comparison

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment, they are always appreciated 🙏

[@HeroDelta]

I love you videos because I appreciate the help. I like the video you made about the Flex Basket air fryer, but I love the depth of the foodi xl 400. Is there an XL 400 depth, with the versatility of the flex basket divider ? Thank you very much. 🎉

[@CandidClara]

Not that I have found...yet!

[@maynardburger]

Would have liked the 500, but realized that cleaning such a large bucket in our small-ish sink would be difficult and annoying after every use, so felt smaller dual buckets with the 400 would have to do. Ease of use has to be a priority or else I'm just not gonna wanna use the thing.

[@robovac3557]

You don't clean an airfryer after every use.

[@CandidClara]

Yes, you are correct, the 500's drawer is bigger than my sink

[@therealist2000]

Please do a comparison video featuring the AF500 - your reviews are great!

[@CandidClara]

Funnily enough I was looking again today at buying the AF500 for review, I’m really curious about how effective that divider actually is!

[@cassio-fm]

omg your videos are just perfect. Im so glad there are people like you on KZbin making content of this quality specially for people like me (lazy and living in the UK :D) This comparison was great, now I need to compare it with the even larger and Im ready to use my John Lewis vouchers :D

[@CandidClara]

Funnily enough I have just taken delivery of the AF500, but it arrived with a broken drawer 😬 if you can bear with me review of that coming soon!

[@tonybourne3335]

Hi Clara, i have the Ninja 400 could i use the top of the machine as a plate warmer do you think? I cannot see any reason why this would cause an issue but would value your thoughts. Thanks for the great videos.

[@CandidClara]

In theory yes, the air intake on the AF400 is below the top so you won't be blocking it. I'd be interested to know how effective it is.

[@dogbadger]

In a wattage/power use comparison in your Combi 12 in 1 multicooker video - the AF400 came out quite high in energy consumption test - how does the AF300 compare? I presume power consumption is still relatively high when cooking small amounts, which I guess is a symptom of most large dual tray machines. Although both models look decent I am tempted towards an asymmetrical dual tray like the Philips 3000 - am I right in imagining this is more economical cooking small amounts as presumably the heater and fan size (and therefore consumption) directly align with tray sizes? I'd love to see detailed the results of economic performance comparing various differing sized models.

[@CandidClara]

I have started doing the energy tests relatively recently and unfortunately no longer have the AF300 to test, but yes I would think the Philips small drawer would be the most economical option for small volumes. I’m also working on a way of sharing the information in my rather large energy spreadsheet!

[@CandidClara]

I agree. Thanks for the comment

[@dogbadger]

Your reviews are great but miss one bit of information - maybe it doesn't concern you but economics is a factor for many. I have no idea how the different sizes / basket arrangements of air fryers affect running costs. For example I would happily spend more to buy a larger air fryer for the rare occasions I will be cooking for many people - but not if it is less economic for the majority of use when I am quickly cooking single portions for myself. I would like a basket capable of taking a whole medium sized chicken, but again, not if it wastes energy cooking the small amount i usually prepare. Economics were a big selling point of air fryers - so I am surprised so few reviews make reference to it.

[@CandidClara]

All my reviews now include information about running costs and you might find this video helpful which directly compares the running costs of the Ninaj AF400uk with the Philips and Cosori dual basket kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4SyiZtmgrOZaNE

Hello Clara, thank you for your clear videos. What would you recommend for a 2-person household? kind regards, Gerrie

[@CandidClara]

I think the best single drawer is the Cosori Turboblaze, my sister and husband have this on my recommendation and love it, but dual drawers always give you a bit more flexibility

[@gerriewretham-roos]

@@CandidClara Yes, I notice that the flexibility makes me go for the dual option. I haven't made up my mind yet. Also for when you have friends over

Thank you! You’ve answered most of my questions & I’ve ordered my Ninja Max AF400 while watching your video. Btw it’s on sale right now at Amazon, the AF400 is cheaper than the AF300 so my decision was easy

That’s interesting about the price reduction. I wonder if that’s because of their stock availability after Black Friday. Thanks for the comment. Incidentally what questions didn’t I answer? It would be interesting to know! 😁

random question, lets say i was going to cook chicken wings and fries for the family will i really get a lot more space from the ninja 10.4 flexdrawer than the ninja 9.5l dual zone max?
