No and someone else mentioned this...I actually used scotch brite on one just to see and it did not harm it...I would like to hear of others are having this issue... thanks for asking...
I'm so trying to figure out All that video was about was the What had a thermometer in Owen didn't have a thermometer? I watch that whole video and I am still trying to see what happened haha the basic leader the same there awesome right or am I wrong?
My 201 oven is to arrive today. I purchased it solely on your videos. Much appreciation Mr. Sanders. Hope I can make food as well as you seem to. Thank ya Brother. God Bless.
I purchased the DT201 from Amazon in October. I love it but I AM having the temperature problems reported elsewhere. When set to 400°, my oven would heat no higher than 350° after 40 minutes. I called Ninja today and they agreed it was not working correctly and are exchanging it for a new one. Thanks so much for your excellent videos.
I just bought the DT201 on line and it’s being shipped then I saw the temperature discrepancy video and thought what have I done Then John in your usual fashion test it and explain it perfectly Thank you thank you thank you
John Sanders still waiting delivery of my DT201 and because of your video I also bought the meater probe set no delivery yet. Watching reruns of your videos to keep me going
Thank you sir, for the in depth knowledge, you have provided to me and others about these Ninja products. Your attention to detail goes far beyond any of your peers.
I got one for Christmas and was looking for how to videos on UA-cam. I found your channel and love all of your videos. I ready to jump in and cook something. I think I’m going to start with your chicken wing recipe. Keep making more videos! You’ve got a new follower
Thanks John. I have the XL Pro Air Oven and after I saw the video you mentioned where the temp was off by 50 degrees I too got worried. I am really glad you did this video and debunked that. Thanks so much and I am always looking forward to a new video from you on the Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Oven.
That video where the oven only reached 400º, she just had it on Bake, not Whole Roast. Ninja admits that Bake only reaches 400º even though the display goes to 450º, while its other functions that use convection do reach 450º.
I’m not sure if someone has pointed it out but as a convection oven it sets as 450°F but in actual fact 425°f is convection temp for 450°F usually because there is an element in the fan as well.
Hey great video! You got me excited about XL Oven and bought my own! Also thank you for addressing the missing splatter shield. I was going crazy about why it was missing from my oven. Like you said there was not bracket or anything for the shield to attach to so it must of been intentional. So I did some investigating and called Ninja. I had a 45min call with customer service trying to tell them that my oven didn't have the shield. I told him that I watched UA-cam channels using the oven with the screen clearly in front of the fan and that it was also in some of their promotional pictures. Especially the one with the chicken and the potatoes on top. But didn't know anything about a screen in any of the ovens. In the end he made a very good point saying that he wasn't able to find the spatter shield as a replacement part in their system and in the website. The spatter shield for the grill was available as a replacement part. Tbh he did a very good job in helping with his limited resources he had which was all the official Ninja videos and manual only. He did say that he does see it but can't confirm it you know. I just hope it's not about cutting costs or maybe a performance thing about the fan choking up or something. Well imma try to put small splatter shield in front of the fan to at least protect the fan and give it a longer lifespan (hopefully).
Much appreciated. I too was concerned as I just ordered the DT251 (w/ temp probe) from Amazon, (the only place I found that version) and was starting to question my choice. Always informative and helpful. Huge fan from Phoenix
getting use to mine , so far no problems, today I used a Dutch oven to cook a chuck roast and vegs. I did take off the knob on top to make sure not to hit the top burners, placed it on 2nd slot , 400 deg. for hour n half . checked it at 50 mins. was almost done , turned tem down to 350 for 15 mins , came out perfect .
Outstanding very detailed 60-day review video and thanks-so-much for discussing the splatter shield screen discrepancies between the two ovens. I know I freaked out when I received my DT201 directly from Ninja without the splatter shied screen installed after watching so many reviews showing the oven with a splatter shield screen and likewise Ninja's website showing the oven with the splatter shield screen on the oven; heck I thought they sent me a defective one. When I called Ninja direct, the representative had no explanation for the missing splatter shield screen except to say the oven does not come with such splatter shield screen, and had no explanation as to why a splatter shield screen was shown on the oven on Nina's website. Granted there was a language barrier as the Ninja's rep was not the most fluent in the English language, speaking nor understanding what I was trying to relay to them. Oh well, Ninja does make a fabulous oven... Also the tips and demonstration of the cleaning products was a very big plus... Thanks John!
I purchased mine because of your initial reviews. I also heard of the temperature issue. Thanks for clearing it up. PS mine does not have the splatter shield.
Another awesome video 👍. I just love how you explain everything. The temp accuracy is one of the reasons this was my top choices the other 2 I was looking at were off.
John, "Ninja Kitchen' just stated the following: ""Shortly after the launch of the Ninja Foodi Oven, it was determined that the splatter guard was not required covering the fan and that the product performed equally well with just the metal grate covering the fan. Moving forward, no units are being manufactured with the splatter guard. The metal grate covering the fan can be cleaned per the instructions in the manual for cleaning the interior of the product."" I found this on their youtube channel under the comment section where they replied to Mary Esser 3 months ago. LOVE your show, Jelly, I always learn how to improve my cooking.
I own a power air fryer 360XL and the grease build up around the fan side is crazy. Even though I clean it after every use I still couldn’t get it cleaned. I tried your cleaning hack using the mr clean pad with a little bit of baking soda and most of the burnt on grease came off. Thank you for the insight
I have many videos on this oven... click this link!!! All my Ninja Foodi XL PRO Air Fry OVEN videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLEiaLoJ18qQYZELfQKF-ecJlwQlrm73xz.html
I just bought the DT201 and it does have the shield. I think that is the one you just showed where it is not in it. Perhaps they update it and Im glad.
Even if preheat doesn't get it to temp, I did a pizza in mine today (we just got it, so I had to try something) set it to pizza, 400, 20 minutes (what the box says.) Once preheat was over, I put the pizza in, and it only took about 12 minutes. It could have gone longer however it would have soon I feel start burning the cheese and meats. It turned out great, and took less time then a conventional oven. I replaced the Foodi for the XL. I was really not expecting the cavity of the Foodi to be so small, as great the oven is. I think this XL will be very good,
It think it is a really good choice for air frying for a family... or just a couple that eats a good bit...lol...thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching!!!
The reason I found your video John was because I was searching for low temperature problems 2 years later. I love the oven It has definitely become my go to. But it has been a steep learning curve with many undercooked meals. Currently doing a low an slow bake. Temp is set at 325 but internal temp is going from 285 to 315 My oven never hits the temperature set.
Hello John, I appreciate your XL Pro Air Oven videos. I saw the same temperature-fail video that prompted you to conduct your own tests. Thanks to your testing, I feel confident buying a DT251. michael
Thank you for the video. I saw a UA-cam video concerning the temp after I bought mine. So I was a tad nervous about keeping it. So glad I watched your video before returning. Definitely keeping.
I honestly think you will love the oven... it has done everything I have thrown at it excellently...I think it will do the same for others or I promise I wouldn't be saying that... thank you for watching!!!
My original Dt-200 had the splatter screen and new Dt-251 smart does not... from conversation with Ninja apparently may have been removed due to airflow restrictions which didn't seem to be a issue. Doesn't seem like a good thing to not have as after roasting a chicken it had quite a bit of grease on it. All of which will now go straight on the fan.
I actually believed that may have been why they did it and the reason I did the test on 2 ovens with and without... but...I was surprised to see the one with the fan actually got a little hotter...I do think cleaning the screen is important...thanks for sharing your experience...
I have another brand convection oven for 8 yrs and it doesn't have a splatter shield. I don't think I've used the fan function in 6 or 7 years because the fan has been gunked up baking with oily foods chicken or fish. I'll be looking at this older model if I can find it. I don't need a thermometer I want that splatter guard that oven will last longer especially the fan. Might be why Ninja got rid of it for future sells.
All I have to say is “ GOD BLESS “ Baby Doll because my wife told me if I ever get as many appliances as you, I can take them all and go live under a bridge. I’m in the process of looking for a bridge now that has a light under it so I can see and also splice an outlet in the line for power. 👍 🥶
I'm my humble opinion it is the best on the market for the money...I did videos on 2 Turley in it and they were both wonderful...thanks for watching!!!
John, I really enjoy your reviews. And my wife gets a kick out of your other name Jelly007😂 Anyway, thank you for your video's, you give honest opinions on products. 😉👍
Hi John after watching your awesome videos I've decided to purchase the XL oven pro and the Meater thermometer. FYI if you have an Amazon echo you can link 🔗 the Meater and the echo, and ask Alexa how much time is remaining in the cook and what the temperature is. your videos are awesome and I've learned alot by watching them
I actually use goggle but I have never attempted to connect it so I'm not sure... However it connects to your phone and you can have it alert you at certain temps... I just looked and it says it is compatible with Alexa... Thanks for asking... I didn't know that!!!
I read a lot of reviews about the "Start/Stop" button wording wearing off, so before I ever used mine, I put piece of scotch tape over the button and after 1 month it's still like new. Just a thought...
Ovens are supposed to fluctuate. Once the inside temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to heat and will then cycle off again to maintain an average set temperature. The key concept is "average" set temp. Your graphs illustrate that perfectly. I bought an early Cuisinart combination convection/microwave oven many years ago. Piece of junk. I have kept a thermometer inside it for over an hour with the oven set at 400 degrees and it won't get hotter than 335 degrees. Now that I have my air fryer, the Cuisinart is just a huge expensive microwave that I occasionally use as a warming oven 😔. I think you may have convinced me to try this Ninja oven, kick the Cuisinart dinsaur to the curb, and replace it with a compact microwave.
Great 60 day review. I not one for orbs, ghost Etc, but what the hell was that little white mist patch that floated in from the upper right side of the screen at about 5mins 37secs and move left in front the door way before disappearing behind the food ninja.
Hey John, I enjoy your videos, I have learned much watching them. Keep up the good work and I'm happy Baby Doll puts up with it. Show us how to roast a duck and get crispy skin without drying the meat. I'll bet you can do it, thanks.
I just got the oven without the probe for an early, I’m enjoying your shows. I’m learning how to use it and I’m getting better and better. I decided to give it a good cleaning and took out the spatter screen, that covers the fan. My question is there and special side that goes out and one that goes closer to the fan? I’ve looked at both sides and the seem identical. Laura Houser
Where I would need to put on of those on my counter would be in a corner so the door I don’t think will hang off the countertop. Would it be useable in that corner? The other option would be like in a cart and it says you can’t plug the cord in below the counter top or oven I was told. I don’t understand why but That would be only other way I could use it in my kitchen.
John. I just checked the pictures on my Ninja Foodi oven that I bought 3 weeks ago, the one without the probe. The pictures on the box do not show the splatter screen but my oven does have it. Just thought you might want to know. 🤓
Walmart has the 8-in-1 for 199.99 right now. It doesn't come with the probe, or the reheat or dehydrate function, but you should still be able to do it! Save about $80 just to not have them as a preset
I am looking for someone that has that model to answer a question for me... and that is... is there a way to lower the temp below 200° farenheit... or how low of a temp it can be set to... thanks in advance...
@@JohnSanders great question! I placed an order for one and can let you know once i receive it in the next week or so. One question, why the concern for how low can the temperature go, Do the different models differ in that regard?
I put my grill thermometer in there and it took over seven minutes to reach 400 on bake, was already pretty warm from previous testing. Also used a laser thermometer on a pan to verify it was accurate. Pretty slow, was wondering why it needs extra time vs my old air fryer. Last 10 degrees were the slowest, maybe I need to use higher Temps.
@Mr. Sanders Could you measure the ambient top temperature inside the oven with a sizeable amount of food cooking in it as well. A lot of these toaster ovens, be they convection or not, especially these high capacity ovens tend not to be able to maintain temperature with food cooking in them (I'm not talking expected fluctuations of during the cooking process but maintaining an average of at least within 25 degrees of the expected set temp.) . Maybe a 1/2 hour into a cook of a 5 lb. chicken. I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure others contemplating purchasing this oven would too. Thank you.
I will give that some thought but it might be hard to get accurate and consistent... the best thing is probably to use an Instant read thermometer which would make sure the item it done and safe to eat... but I may try to come up with something...thanks for watching!!!
I got this oven without the probe and was so excited. I tried several things and consistently found that it took MUCH longer to cook everything but toast. So I returned it and got another one..... ugh the same problem and nothing came up to temp when checking with a digital thermometer with probe. The bake function was easily 30-50 degrees low. The whole roast function did better but ONLY if you set the time for less and then came back to reset. apparently it thinks that the set temp does not need to be reached until the end of the cook.... I am so discouraged... ugh
The new ( somewhat newer model) is a dt201 they just added the thermometer. They used the old oven to make the dt251. Look at the labels on the back and the are two different model numbers. So the one with no splatter guard it the newer built model.
You may be correct... the only difference in the two ovens is the handle that has the thermometer jack and a few additions to the buttons... thanks for watching!!!
I think it takes so long to preheat because it doesn't use the upper or lower elements to heat up for most modes. Just the rear fan heating element. Reheat heats up the fastest. Mine has temperature consistency issues too. Thermometer showed it was sometimes 40 degrees under what it should be while I was baking a cake last night.
Put the oven on broil, toast or Bagel for a few minutes... that usually cleans the quartz elementsup really quick... and they look excellent!!!.. hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I have the ninja foodie xl pro air oven and my internal temperature is off by 45° according to my oven thermometer. I can’t find how to recalibrate my unit. Even if your units kept temp, please teach us how to recalibrate when they don’t.
It's been awhile since I've used that one and it is similar to cleaning this one as far as the products I use but I'll give it some thought...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders with the help of some comments on your video, I see that I can use either the air fry or bake function to reheat food. I am going to order my Ninja XL oven this week.
My Ninja Foodi XL Pro with probe has no screen in front of the fan. I have attempted to use a soft tooth brush to clean it with no luck. I don’t want to use chemicals but I am at a loss as to how to remove the grease even cleaning it after every use. I love the I oven but hate to use it except to bake due to grease on the fan area. Suggestions please. Thank you.
Can the DT-251 be used on a Formica counter top, and under an overhanging cabinet with only a 2" gap between the top of the DT-251 and the Bottom of the cabinet above it?
How do you manage to keep the bottom elements clean when using the basket? Crumbs fall and burns on contact with them or if I place a pan right above it throws off Temps.
John..... Love your reviews. Wow, with 2 1800 watt ovens going at the same time do you ever blow a fuse? You must have great electrical wiring. I didn’t have any Ninja products until last week. I bought a Ninja Foodi NeverStick 8 inch skillet to make scrambled eggs in. Sounded great. I couldn’t believe it when my eggs STUCK on the first use. I followed the instructions to the tee. I never have luck with non-stick products. Even my $100+ Swiss Diamond skillet sticks. I must be cursed! LOL
When I upgraded my kitchen to do my UA-cam videos (and got rid of the pool table...lol) I actually pulled 2 separate 20 Amp circuits so I would not have to worry doing that...I kinda wish I had pulled 3... and I have a ninja skillet too but I haven't used it much due to a new induction cook top i recently got... but I put a short video on the end of a sous vide Blueberry video I did... eggs can be tricky though...lol...thanks for watching!!!
I bought mine for Black Friday I’ve used it couple times and love it. But quick ? The 2 things in the bottom are already dirty and I can’t seem to take off? Best way to clean those 2 little bars?
Those bars are actually faux-ceramic heating elements. They are not removable. The only way I’ve been able to clean them, is to spray easy-off over cleaner on a mildly abrasive sponge(or magic eraser) and CAREFULLY hand wash them(while the device is off and unplugged, of course).
Is this the #1 kitchen appliance you would suggest or would it be something else? We have the ninja airfryer/pressure cooker and are looking at this oven.
I saw your comment on how the handle will typically land off the counter when open. I ordered one to put in my pantry with a much deeper counter. Will the handle be a problem? Will buttons accidentally press when the door is open? If the door is open do the buttons disable?
I do it all the time and it has never affected anything... and yes the handle is disabled when opened... if any problem at all it is that the door doesn't open flat but that hasn't bothered me either... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
Question, I just bought one from someone who said they used it once, it seems to work great but the 2 infrared tubes at top do not glow like the ones at the bottom, my question is are they suppose to? Or are they 2 different types of elements? Thanks so much.
Just got my Pro XL with probe and noticed that there is a provision for a cover over the light but one was not included, is there suppose to be a cover lens over the light? Thanks.
John - I really appreciate your informative reviews. Now that you have had both the pro and the smart pro with the temp probe and had time to use both, which one would you recommend? I want to get one but not sure which way to go! Is not having the splatter screen a problem? Thanks in advance. Please keep up the good work.
Hey man Thank you very much for the video Can you help me out and answer this question, I have the oven without the thermometer , does the top heating element turn on when you toast or bagel food ? Mine only the bottom works at those settings Thank you very much
If you put a probe in a conventional wall oven, how close to the actual stated temp would it come? I've never tried to do that - just took the oven's word for it.
Why does the oven on the right look like the DT251 with splatter guard? All the models I see online, show the DT201 with the splatter guard and none on the DT251. I saw one review saying how the grease got in the fan, that concerns me. I like the DT251 setup as it has more buttons but the splatter guard seems to be the more logical one to have. Still having trouble deciding which model to get, even after watching your videos.
Alright John you sold me I purchased the Amazon version with the thermometer. I received it today and just cleaned everything and followed instructions on using oven roast with accessories inside for 20 min. I’ve read many complaints about how loud it is and I completely disagree, min is pretty quiet. My question is approximately how long does the fan run after the unit shuts off?
I am thinking about purchasing this to replace my toaster oven. How long would it take to make toast compared to a toaster oven that toasts four pieces of bread ? My other question is how low of a temperature can dehydrate go? I love to bake sourdough bread and I am thinking it could be a proofing box.
I think I covered that in my Unboxing video but if not let me know and I will look when I'm back at the house...thanks for watching!!! ua-cam.com/video/jEsJTc2Vyh8/v-deo.html
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your reply, I found the info on the toast but nothing on the lowest temperature for dehydrate. The lowest for the Foodi is 105 f. So I'm hoping for a lower temperature.
John I’m lost here.... ? You say here in this episode that you’ve had the D251 longer....???? You’ve had your D201 long before you got the D251. Perhaps you misspoke.....? About 7-8 days ago, I tried to buy my daughter the D251 but couldn’t find one in-stock so I settled on ordering the D201 which arrived on Sat..... It has the splatter shield and was manufactured in Nov(2020). My D251 was manufactured in Oct. So I’m thoroughly confused here 🤷🏻♂️.
I meant to mention it but somehow forgot... the fan in the original DT201 oven i had was making a noise...I called ninja warranty and they did a video call and watched and listened to it... although as I explained it was obvious on my videos which he didn't know who I was...lol... so... after hearing and seeing they sent me a new oven and that is it...I have no complaints with their warranty procedure...I did have to pay for shipping and I think that was 20 dollars... but very happy to get it...I honestly don't know how i forgot to cover that but I plan to mention it on a video one day... thanks for watching!!!
They are not powered up during any of the Air frying modes... they should have the same look as they do with the unit not running... and i am assuming you are referring to the long cylindrical tubes across the top and bottom... they are only used during things like toasting and broiling... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Cool. The reason I asked is I have the flip and thinking about replacing it with the XL. Maybe do a cook off with like pizzas, fries, fresh chicken breast or burgers.
I have only had Samsung watches... love them...I currently wear the Samsung Galaxy watch 3 but I may have had on my Galaxy Watch Active... they both are really neat devices...thanks for watching!!!
I purchased what I thought was the DT201. Mine doesn't have the splatter shield. Reading other reviews from people that bought from different places, they said to check the model number on back of the oven. Mine says DT200. Box it shipped in says DT201. Original box it comes in also says DT201. I feel ripped off. It was my Birthday present and I love it but feel really upset about this..
As far as I know Ninja has not addressed this but I think the spec tags on some are wrong because one of mine listed the machine different than the one I know it was... it said it was DT201 but I knew it was the DT251 because it had a thermometer...I think they may have upgraded some to the thermometer model by swapping the handle out which is where all the controls are and the rest of the device is identical... however... if yours has reheat and dehydrate it is a DT201...I hope this helps and thanks for watching !!!
Thanks for the video John! We did the Pre-use, 20 minute run of Air Roast at 450 degree to prep the unit for first use. During the 20 minute cycle we smelt a really nasty chemical smell, guessing its some kind of grease or something they coat the inside with. I called customer service and they said this smell is normal. That being said we have tried running the unit a few more times since the initial 20 minute cycle and we are continuing to notice the chemical smell... Curious if you or anyone else watching your videos has experienced this same smell and if it goes away over time? For what it's worth we got our unit from amazon and while the box it came in says DT201, the sticker on the back of the unit says DT200. The unit does not have the splatter shield.
I have not heard of any smells from purple using this unit... none of mine had that... the stickers are incorrect on a lot of these units but I would just go by the features it has to make sure it is the one you wanted... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I have 1-8 functions. The pre select on Bake never reaches 350 after 20 minutes is just on 300. Air fry set at 390 after 20 minutes just at 300. Is this normal. I am using an oven thermometer that is accurate. Is this a defective oven?
My Oven Maxx no longer crisps chicken skin so I put an analog temp gauge in it and it's ~ 60*s to low at 450. As to cleaning, I used Easy-Off. BAD IDEA. The aluminum sides look cruddy now, and FYI, my OvenMaxx manual says nothing about not using it/ I emailed them 6 days ago, but so far no response
I don't know which thermometer you're using and I'm certainly not knocking it so please don't take it that way... but... that could be the 20 degree difference and when you think about it that is only a 5 percent error... just saying and I'm glad it is better than it was... thanks for sharing that by the way...
John, I received my XL yesterday (without splash guard) and it seems to be very noisy. Since you have one with the splash guard and one with out, have you noticed if the one without the splash guard is more noisy?
Hi John, quick question. I have read a lot of reviews that says that the writing on the display comes off. Have you experienced that yet?
No and someone else mentioned this...I actually used scotch brite on one just to see and it did not harm it...I would like to hear of others are having this issue... thanks for asking...
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your quick response. Keep up the good work.
@@JohnSanders Mine is 6 days old and you can no longer see the start/stop button

I purchased the DT201 from Amazon in October. I love it but I AM having the temperature problems reported elsewhere. When set to 400°, my oven would heat no higher than 350° after 40 minutes. I called Ninja today and they agreed it was not working correctly and are exchanging it for a new one. Thanks so much for your excellent videos.
Glad to hear you're getting it fixed... and glad to know you enjoy my videos!!! Thank you for watching!!!

Thanks John. I have the XL Pro Air Oven and after I saw the video you mentioned where the temp was off by 50 degrees I too got worried. I am really glad you did this video and debunked that. Thanks so much and I am always looking forward to a new video from you on the Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Oven.
Thanks... glad I helped and thanks for watching!!!
That video where the oven only reached 400º, she just had it on Bake, not Whole Roast. Ninja admits that Bake only reaches 400º even though the display goes to 450º, while its other functions that use convection do reach 450º.
John you are awesome! I bought the Ninja Foodie XL DT201 because of you!!
Great to hear...I love it and I think you will too!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I’m not sure if someone has pointed it out but as a convection oven it sets as 450°F but in actual fact 425°f is convection temp for 450°F usually because there is an element in the fan as well.
Got my delivery, really happy with it. Preheat seems to be the time it takes to make the heating elements hot
I think you will love it... Thanks for watching!!!
Hey great video! You got me excited about XL Oven and bought my own! Also thank you for addressing the missing splatter shield. I was going crazy about why it was missing from my oven. Like you said there was not bracket or anything for the shield to attach to so it must of been intentional. So I did some investigating and called Ninja. I had a 45min call with customer service trying to tell them that my oven didn't have the shield. I told him that I watched UA-cam channels using the oven with the screen clearly in front of the fan and that it was also in some of their promotional pictures. Especially the one with the chicken and the potatoes on top. But didn't know anything about a screen in any of the ovens. In the end he made a very good point saying that he wasn't able to find the spatter shield as a replacement part in their system and in the website. The spatter shield for the grill was available as a replacement part. Tbh he did a very good job in helping with his limited resources he had which was all the official Ninja videos and manual only. He did say that he does see it but can't confirm it you know. I just hope it's not about cutting costs or maybe a performance thing about the fan choking up or something. Well imma try to put small splatter shield in front of the fan to at least protect the fan and give it a longer lifespan (hopefully).
Thanks for sharing that... any info is welcome... I think it will be fine without one...thanks again!!!
Much appreciated. I too was concerned as I just ordered the DT251 (w/ temp probe) from Amazon, (the only place I found that version) and was starting to question my choice. Always informative and helpful. Huge fan from Phoenix
Thank you... glad I helped and thanks for watching!!!
getting use to mine , so far no problems, today I used a Dutch oven to cook a chuck roast and vegs. I did take off the knob on top to make sure not to hit the top burners, placed it on 2nd slot , 400 deg. for hour n half . checked it at 50 mins. was almost done , turned tem down to 350 for 15 mins , came out perfect .
That sounds really good...thanks for sharing that!!
Thanks for another great video! I now have a DT201, the Ninja XL grill and a Meater thermometer thanks in part to your videos.
Thanks... glad to have you watching... those are all very good items in my opinion!! Thanks for watching!!!
I think you did a very nice job with this testing and presentation. Thank you for all of your effort. I have confidence in what you are doing.
Very good to hear...thanks for watching!!!
Outstanding very detailed 60-day review video and thanks-so-much for discussing the splatter shield screen discrepancies between the two ovens. I know I freaked out when I received my DT201 directly from Ninja without the splatter shied screen installed after watching so many reviews showing the oven with a splatter shield screen and likewise Ninja's website showing the oven with the splatter shield screen on the oven; heck I thought they sent me a defective one.
When I called Ninja direct, the representative had no explanation for the missing splatter shield screen except to say the oven does not come with such splatter shield screen, and had no explanation as to why a splatter shield screen was shown on the oven on Nina's website. Granted there was a language barrier as the Ninja's rep was not the most fluent in the English language, speaking nor understanding what I was trying to relay to them. Oh well, Ninja does make a fabulous oven...
Also the tips and demonstration of the cleaning products was a very big plus... Thanks John!
Thank you and glad to hear I helped... thanks for sharing what you found out too...thanks for watching!!!
I purchased mine because of your initial reviews. I also heard of the temperature issue. Thanks for clearing it up. PS mine does not have the splatter shield.
Glad I helped and thank you for watching!!!
I am planning to buy this. I'm very thankful for your easy to watch videos
Another awesome video 👍. I just love how you explain everything. The temp accuracy is one of the reasons this was my top choices the other 2 I was looking at were off.
Thank you Pamela... glad to hear that...thanks for watching!!!
John, "Ninja Kitchen' just stated the following: ""Shortly after the launch of the Ninja Foodi Oven, it was determined that the splatter guard was not required covering the fan and that the product performed equally well with just the metal grate covering the fan. Moving forward, no units are being manufactured with the splatter guard. The metal grate covering the fan can be cleaned per the instructions in the manual for cleaning the interior of the product."" I found this on their youtube channel under the comment section where they replied to Mary Esser 3 months ago. LOVE your show, Jelly, I always learn how to improve my cooking.
Thanks for sharing that!!
I own a power air fryer 360XL and the grease build up around the fan side is crazy. Even though I clean it after every use I still couldn’t get it cleaned. I tried your cleaning hack using the mr clean pad with a little bit of baking soda and most of the burnt on grease came off. Thank you for the insight
No problem... glad I helped and thanks for the baking soda suggestion...I may try that...thanks for watching!!!
I have many videos on this oven... click this link!!! All my Ninja Foodi XL PRO Air Fry OVEN videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLEiaLoJ18qQYZELfQKF-ecJlwQlrm73xz.html
I just bought the DT201 and it does have the shield. I think that is the one you just showed where it is not in it. Perhaps they update it and Im glad.
Even if preheat doesn't get it to temp, I did a pizza in mine today (we just got it, so I had to try something) set it to pizza, 400, 20 minutes (what the box says.) Once preheat was over, I put the pizza in, and it only took about 12 minutes. It could have gone longer however it would have soon I feel start burning the cheese and meats. It turned out great, and took less time then a conventional oven. I replaced the Foodi for the XL. I was really not expecting the cavity of the Foodi to be so small, as great the oven is. I think this XL will be very good,
It think it is a really good choice for air frying for a family... or just a couple that eats a good bit...lol...thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching!!!
The reason I found your video John was because I was searching for low temperature problems 2 years later. I love the oven It has definitely become my go to. But it has been a steep learning curve with many undercooked meals. Currently doing a low an slow bake. Temp is set at 325 but internal temp is going from 285 to 315 My oven never hits the temperature set.
Hello John, I appreciate your XL Pro Air Oven videos. I saw the same temperature-fail video that prompted you to conduct your own tests. Thanks to your testing, I feel confident buying a DT251. michael
I did slow cook ribs today at 250 took about 4-5 hours and they were fantastic. No issues with oven temp and I’ve cook many things
Good to hear...I think it has many many uses!!! Thanks for watching!!!
You have not steered us wrong to date. Thanks again fir the videos
Thanks for saying that and I truly hope not... thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for the video. I saw a UA-cam video concerning the temp after I bought mine. So I was a tad nervous about keeping it. So glad I watched your video before returning. Definitely keeping.
I honestly think you will love the oven... it has done everything I have thrown at it excellently...I think it will do the same for others or I promise I wouldn't be saying that... thank you for watching!!!
I use your technique for cleaning my Ninja Foodi Pro. It’s still new and I want to keep it that way. As clean as possible. I use it daily too 👍🏽😁
Very glad to hear that.... thank you for watching!!!
My original Dt-200 had the splatter screen and new Dt-251 smart does not... from conversation with Ninja apparently may have been removed due to airflow restrictions which didn't seem to be a issue. Doesn't seem like a good thing to not have as after roasting a chicken it had quite a bit of grease on it. All of which will now go straight on the fan.
I actually believed that may have been why they did it and the reason I did the test on 2 ovens with and without... but...I was surprised to see the one with the fan actually got a little hotter...I do think cleaning the screen is important...thanks for sharing your experience...
I have another brand convection oven for 8 yrs and it doesn't have a splatter shield. I don't think I've used the fan function in 6 or 7 years because the fan has been gunked up baking with oily foods chicken or fish. I'll be looking at this older model if I can find it. I don't need a thermometer I want that splatter guard that oven will last longer especially the fan. Might be why Ninja got rid of it for future sells.
I can see where it might help in that situation...thanks for watching!!!
All I have to say is “ GOD BLESS “ Baby Doll because my wife told me if I ever get as many appliances as you, I can take them all and go live under a bridge. I’m in the process of looking for a bridge now that has a light under it so I can see and also splice an outlet in the line for power. 👍 🥶
Lol...I might have to join you... I have some recipe ideas for road kill too... just kidding of course... thanks for watching!!!
Love it

Is this the best for Toaster, Air Fry?
How did that whole turkey taste? Was it like a deep fried Turkey?
I'm my humble opinion it is the best on the market for the money...I did videos on 2 Turley in it and they were both wonderful...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders
Thank You John, I think I Must Have One....
I love gadgets, equipment, appliances and kitchen tools.
John, I really enjoy your reviews. And my wife gets a kick out of your other name Jelly007😂 Anyway, thank you for your video's, you give honest opinions on products. 😉👍
Really good to hear Don... thank yall for watching!!!
I agree ☝️
Hi John after watching your awesome videos I've decided to purchase the XL oven pro and the Meater thermometer. FYI if you have an Amazon echo you can link 🔗 the Meater and the echo, and ask Alexa how much time is remaining in the cook and what the temperature is. your videos are awesome and I've learned alot by watching them
I actually use goggle but I have never attempted to connect it so I'm not sure... However it connects to your phone and you can have it alert you at certain temps... I just looked and it says it is compatible with Alexa... Thanks for asking... I didn't know that!!!
Good video John. i saw the video that you are talking about and it caused me some concern also.
Not sure what happened in that one but I had to know for myself...thanks for watching!!
I just got the one with the thermometer--I LOVE IT !!!!
Can't wait to hear what you cook with it!!!
Did i miss the measurements??
On the 3 different airfryers DT 251, DT 201..
Im liking the one with the splatter shield ..
They measure the same... just different functions...thanks for watching!!!
Is the one with the splatter shield, DT201? and is it a 10 in 1?
Added Reheat and dehydrate?
I read a lot of reviews about the "Start/Stop" button wording wearing off, so before I ever used mine, I put piece of scotch tape over the button and after 1 month it's still like new. Just a thought...
Ovens are supposed to fluctuate. Once the inside temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to heat and will then cycle off again to maintain an average set temperature. The key concept is "average" set temp. Your graphs illustrate that perfectly. I bought an early Cuisinart combination convection/microwave oven many years ago. Piece of junk. I have kept a thermometer inside it for over an hour with the oven set at 400 degrees and it won't get hotter than 335 degrees. Now that I have my air fryer, the Cuisinart is just a huge expensive microwave that I occasionally use as a warming oven 😔. I think you may have convinced me to try this Ninja oven, kick the Cuisinart dinsaur to the curb, and replace it with a compact microwave.
Thank you... and I think you will be impressed with this oven... and thank you for watching!!!
Great 60 day review. I not one for orbs, ghost Etc, but what the hell was that little white mist patch that floated in from the upper right side of the screen at about 5mins 37secs and move left in front the door way before disappearing behind the food ninja.
I'll have to take a look... I thought I was alone...lol...
@@JohnSanders Let me know if you see it just so I know I am not just seeing things lol
Thank you for your advice and your demonstration. I love my oven too
You are welcome Larry... thank you for watching!!!
Hey John, I enjoy your videos, I have learned much watching them. Keep up the good work and I'm happy Baby Doll puts up with it. Show us how to roast a duck and get crispy skin without drying the meat. I'll bet you can do it, thanks.
Thanks...I have given duck some thought but haven't committed yet... maybe soon...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thanks for reading my comment.
No problem...I try to read and respond to all but it is getting a little harder to do than before...lol... but thank you for watching my videos!!!
Hi, thanks for all the great videos. How would you compare this to the Breville Smart Oven Air?
I actually have a video on that I have linked below...thanks for watching!!!
ua-cam.com/video/tnUkUjyMb9g/v-deo.html
I just got the oven without the probe for an early, I’m enjoying your shows. I’m learning how to use it and I’m getting better and better. I decided to give it a good cleaning and took out the spatter screen, that covers the fan. My question is there and special side that goes out and one that goes closer to the fan? I’ve looked at both sides and the seem identical. Laura Houser
I think it goes in the way that makes the handle on the right side lean toward the front of the oven... hope this helps and thank you for watching!!!
Where I would need to put on of those on my counter would be in a corner so the door I don’t think will hang off the countertop. Would it be useable in that corner? The other option would be like in a cart and it says you can’t plug the cord in below the counter top or oven I was told. I don’t understand why but That would be only other way I could use it in my kitchen.
You could make cleaning a toilet interesting. Good video.
Awesome test John! I'm trying to justify getting one of these to my wife even though we have the ninja foodi XL LOL
I want both also. This fryer/oven and the fryer/pressure cooker. Not sure which to get first?
A very good question...
John. I just checked the pictures on my Ninja Foodi oven that I bought 3 weeks ago, the one without the probe. The pictures on the box do not show the splatter screen but my oven does have it. Just thought you might want to know. 🤓
I was wondering...thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Outstanding video John. Amazon had that one with the probe for $194.99. Of course, it sold out. I just have to wait, I guess.
Thanks... and thanks for watching!!!
Walmart has the 8-in-1 for 199.99 right now. It doesn't come with the probe, or the reheat or dehydrate function, but you should still be able to do it! Save about $80 just to not have them as a preset
@@travelingmillennial Thanks for the heads up.
I am looking for someone that has that model to answer a question for me... and that is... is there a way to lower the temp below 200° farenheit... or how low of a temp it can be set to... thanks in advance...
@@JohnSanders great question! I placed an order for one and can let you know once i receive it in the next week or so.
One question, why the concern for how low can the temperature go, Do the different models differ in that regard?
Thanks John for the cleaning tips.
No problem... hope i helped!!!
I put my grill thermometer in there and it took over seven minutes to reach 400 on bake, was already pretty warm from previous testing. Also used a laser thermometer on a pan to verify it was accurate. Pretty slow, was wondering why it needs extra time vs my old air fryer. Last 10 degrees were the slowest, maybe I need to use higher Temps.
@Mr. Sanders Could you measure the ambient top temperature inside the oven with a sizeable amount of food cooking in it as well. A lot of these toaster ovens, be they convection or not, especially these high capacity ovens tend not to be able to maintain temperature with food cooking in them (I'm not talking expected fluctuations of during the cooking process but maintaining an average of at least within 25 degrees of the expected set temp.) . Maybe a 1/2 hour into a cook of a 5 lb. chicken. I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure others contemplating purchasing this oven would too. Thank you.
I will give that some thought but it might be hard to get accurate and consistent... the best thing is probably to use an Instant read thermometer which would make sure the item it done and safe to eat... but I may try to come up with something...thanks for watching!!!
I got this oven without the probe and was so excited. I tried several things and consistently found that it took MUCH longer to cook everything but toast. So I returned it and got another one..... ugh the same problem and nothing came up to temp when checking with a digital thermometer with probe. The bake function was easily 30-50 degrees low. The whole roast function did better but ONLY if you set the time for less and then came back to reset. apparently it thinks that the set temp does not need to be reached until the end of the cook.... I am so discouraged... ugh
The new ( somewhat newer model) is a dt201 they just added the thermometer. They used the old oven to make the dt251. Look at the labels on the back and the are two different model numbers. So the one with no splatter guard it the newer built model.
You may be correct... the only difference in the two ovens is the handle that has the thermometer jack and a few additions to the buttons... thanks for watching!!!
I think it takes so long to preheat because it doesn't use the upper or lower elements to heat up for most modes. Just the rear fan heating element. Reheat heats up the fastest.
Mine has temperature consistency issues too. Thermometer showed it was sometimes 40 degrees under what it should be while I was baking a cake last night.
What do you use to clean the heating tube elements inside on the top?
Put the oven on broil, toast or Bagel for a few minutes... that usually cleans the quartz elementsup really quick... and they look excellent!!!.. hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I have the ninja foodie xl pro air oven and my internal temperature is off by 45° according to my oven thermometer. I can’t find how to recalibrate my unit. Even if your units kept temp, please teach us how to recalibrate when they don’t.
Could you give us some tips to clean the ninja foodi digital air fry oven? It is difficult
It's been awhile since I've used that one and it is similar to cleaning this one as far as the products I use but I'll give it some thought...thanks for watching!!!
I really respect your opinion. Have you ever looked at Emeralds 360 air fryer oven. I would love to know the comparison between those two
I have not...I may consider it just have not got many request...thanks for watching!!!
Have the model with the probe and mine has the shied on it it’s the model DT251 bought from Amazon two weeks ago
That’s the same time and place I bought mine. I’ve been saving it for Christmas, but now I’m curious to see if it has it or not.
I ordered DT251 on Black Friday and I also have the shield.
How do u clean the fan on the one without the guard? It looks like a hassle to clean. Only thing that's holding me back from getting this
A great oven I plan to get soon. Great video.
Thanks... and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders with the help of some comments on your video, I see that I can use either the air fry or bake function to reheat food. I am going to order my Ninja XL oven this week.
Yes... it does reheating very well... which one are you getting Guy?
@@JohnSanders I plan to get the DT 200 the Walmart model. Great oven for the price.
Absolutely love mine!!! The regular oven and microwave are used so much less!!! Can’t say enough good things about the Ninja Oven...😁😁😁
Ditto...thanks for watching!!!
My Ninja Foodi XL Pro with probe has no screen in front of the fan. I have attempted to use a soft tooth brush to clean it with no luck. I don’t want to use chemicals but I am at a loss as to how to remove the grease even cleaning it after every use. I love the I oven but hate to use it except to bake due to grease on the fan area. Suggestions please. Thank you.
Can the DT-251 be used on a Formica counter top, and under an overhanging cabinet with only a 2" gap between the top of the DT-251 and the Bottom of the cabinet above it?
I believe The manual says 1 inch clearance all the way around... and I feel sure formica would be fine...thanks for watching!!!
How do you manage to keep the bottom elements clean when using the basket? Crumbs fall and burns on contact with them or if I place a pan right above it throws off Temps.
John..... Love your reviews. Wow, with 2 1800 watt ovens going at the same time do you ever blow a fuse? You must have great electrical wiring. I didn’t have any Ninja products until last week. I bought a Ninja Foodi NeverStick 8 inch skillet to make scrambled eggs in. Sounded great. I couldn’t believe it when my eggs STUCK on the first use. I followed the instructions to the tee. I never have luck with non-stick products. Even my $100+ Swiss Diamond skillet sticks. I must be cursed! LOL
When I upgraded my kitchen to do my UA-cam videos (and got rid of the pool table...lol) I actually pulled 2 separate 20 Amp circuits so I would not have to worry doing that...I kinda wish I had pulled 3... and I have a ninja skillet too but I haven't used it much due to a new induction cook top i recently got... but I put a short video on the end of a sous vide Blueberry video I did... eggs can be tricky though...lol...thanks for watching!!!
I bought mine for Black Friday I’ve used it couple times and love it. But quick ? The 2 things in the bottom are already dirty and I can’t seem to take off? Best way to clean those 2 little bars?
I've never did anything to them... maybe someone reading has an answer...thanks for watching!!!
Those bars are actually faux-ceramic heating elements. They are not removable. The only way I’ve been able to clean them, is to spray easy-off over cleaner on a mildly abrasive sponge(or magic eraser) and CAREFULLY hand wash them(while the device is off and unplugged, of course).
Is this the #1 kitchen appliance you would suggest or would it be something else? We have the ninja airfryer/pressure cooker and are looking at this oven.
You have the perfect device to have with this oven...imho... they are pretty much all anyone would need to do almost anything in the kitchen!!!
I saw your comment on how the handle will typically land off the counter when open. I ordered one to put in my pantry with a much deeper counter. Will the handle be a problem? Will buttons accidentally press when the door is open? If the door is open do the buttons disable?
I do it all the time and it has never affected anything... and yes the handle is disabled when opened... if any problem at all it is that the door doesn't open flat but that hasn't bothered me either... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
What is your opinion on the Breville BOV900 and the Ninja Foodie XL Pro. Which do you prefer? Why?
Question, I just bought one from someone who said they used it once, it seems to work great but the 2 infrared tubes at top do not glow like the ones at the bottom, my question is are they suppose to? Or are they 2 different types of elements? Thanks so much.
Just got my Pro XL with probe and noticed that there is a provision for a cover over the light but one was not included, is there suppose to be a cover lens over the light? Thanks.
I'm actually not sure... this might be something you should ask ninja...thanks for watching!!!
Should we assume the ovens are on separate circuits?
John - I really appreciate your informative reviews. Now that you have had both the pro and the smart pro with the temp probe and had time to use both, which one would you recommend? I want to get one but not sure which way to go! Is not having the splatter screen a problem? Thanks in advance. Please keep up the good work.
I like the thermometer but I could do most things with out it or use a different one... Thanks for watching!!
Hey man
Thank you very much for the video
Can you help me out and answer this question, I have the oven without the thermometer , does the top heating element turn on when you toast or bagel food ? Mine only the bottom works at those settings
Thank you very much
Try the broil to see if they come on then
@@JohnSanders
Thank you for the reply
Yes they do come on
I'm just wondering if they should in the Toast function
Thank you very much
If you put a probe in a conventional wall oven, how close to the actual stated temp would it come? I've never tried to do that - just took the oven's word for it.
Mine gets closer to the temp it is calling for...thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for another great video!
Your are welcome!!! Thank you for watching!!!
Why does the oven on the right look like the DT251 with splatter guard? All the models I see online, show the DT201 with the splatter guard and none on the DT251. I saw one review saying how the grease got in the fan, that concerns me. I like the DT251 setup as it has more buttons but the splatter guard seems to be the more logical one to have. Still having trouble deciding which model to get, even after watching your videos.
I'm not sure if any come with the splatter shield anymore...thanks for watching!!!
Alright John you sold me I purchased the Amazon version with the thermometer. I received it today and just cleaned everything and followed instructions on using oven roast with accessories inside for 20 min. I’ve read many complaints about how loud it is and I completely disagree, min is pretty quiet. My question is approximately how long does the fan run after the unit shuts off?
It should shut off fairly quick... glad you got one and can't wait to hear what you cook in it!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I am thinking about purchasing this to replace my toaster oven. How long would it take to make toast compared to a toaster oven that toasts four pieces of bread ? My other question is how low of a temperature can dehydrate go? I love to bake sourdough bread and I am thinking it could be a proofing box.
I think I covered that in my Unboxing video but if not let me know and I will look when I'm back at the house...thanks for watching!!!
ua-cam.com/video/jEsJTc2Vyh8/v-deo.html
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your reply, I found the info on the toast but nothing on the lowest temperature for dehydrate. The lowest for the Foodi is 105 f. So I'm hoping for a lower temperature.
I just checked it and the dehydrate function will go as low as 85 degrees for up to 24 hours...
John I’m lost here.... ? You say here in this episode that you’ve had the D251 longer....???? You’ve had your D201 long before you got the D251. Perhaps you misspoke.....? About 7-8 days ago, I tried to buy my daughter the D251 but couldn’t find one in-stock so I settled on ordering the D201 which arrived on Sat..... It has the splatter shield and was manufactured in Nov(2020). My D251 was manufactured in Oct. So I’m thoroughly confused here 🤷🏻♂️.
I meant to mention it but somehow forgot... the fan in the original DT201 oven i had was making a noise...I called ninja warranty and they did a video call and watched and listened to it... although as I explained it was obvious on my videos which he didn't know who I was...lol... so... after hearing and seeing they sent me a new oven and that is it...I have no complaints with their warranty procedure...I did have to pay for shipping and I think that was 20 dollars... but very happy to get it...I honestly don't know how i forgot to cover that but I plan to mention it on a video one day... thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Yes, that certainly fills in the blanks. Makes total sense now! 😅😜👍🏼
I have a question. When air frying, the bulb looking elements i top what color should they be whe air trying?
They are not powered up during any of the Air frying modes... they should have the same look as they do with the unit not running... and i am assuming you are referring to the long cylindrical tubes across the top and bottom... they are only used during things like toasting and broiling... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
Would you consider doing a side by side battle with the ninja XL and the ninja flip?
I'll give that some thought...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Cool. The reason I asked is I have the flip and thinking about replacing it with the XL. Maybe do a cook off with like pizzas, fries, fresh chicken breast or burgers.
Do you know what the difference is between the DT 200 and the DT201? I ordered the 201 and received the 200 in a 201 box!
Any word from Ninja about the splatter sheild?
From what I gather they have stopped putting it in the ovens...thanks for watching!!!
Hi John,
What brand of digital watch did you have on , for the Ooni Pro pizza oven video ?
Cheer’s 007 🍷
I have only had Samsung watches... love them...I currently wear the Samsung Galaxy watch 3 but I may have had on my Galaxy Watch Active... they both are really neat devices...thanks for watching!!!
I purchased what I thought was the DT201. Mine doesn't have the splatter shield. Reading other reviews from people that bought from different places, they said to check the model number on back of the oven. Mine says DT200. Box it shipped in says DT201. Original box it comes in also says DT201. I feel ripped off. It was my Birthday present and I love it but feel really upset about this..
As far as I know Ninja has not addressed this but I think the spec tags on some are wrong because one of mine listed the machine different than the one I know it was... it said it was DT201 but I knew it was the DT251 because it had a thermometer...I think they may have upgraded some to the thermometer model by swapping the handle out which is where all the controls are and the rest of the device is identical... however... if yours has reheat and dehydrate it is a DT201...I hope this helps and thanks for watching !!!
@@JohnSanders Thanks so much for some insight into this. I love watching you and learning all I can along with you.
That is really good to hear!!! Thank you and thanks for watching!!!
I noticed the heating elements on the top look greasy, are you supposed to clean them also. I didn't see you mention that. Love your videos.
I'm not sure if there is a proper way other than letting it burn off... glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching!!!
Mr. Sanders, are you also a colonel? Thanks for your great reviews, I'm trying to decide if I need an air fryer toaster oven. I like Ninja stuff.
I am not a colonel...lol... you would love this oven!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I want all Ninja items. Wish they would come out with a stand mixer also to comp to the almighty Kitchen Aide.
Not a bad idea...
I just bought the DT200. It doesn’t have reheat or dehydrate. Are you familiar with it. Is it a good one
Thanks for the video John! We did the Pre-use, 20 minute run of Air Roast at 450 degree to prep the unit for first use. During the 20 minute cycle we smelt a really nasty chemical smell, guessing its some kind of grease or something they coat the inside with. I called customer service and they said this smell is normal. That being said we have tried running the unit a few more times since the initial 20 minute cycle and we are continuing to notice the chemical smell... Curious if you or anyone else watching your videos has experienced this same smell and if it goes away over time? For what it's worth we got our unit from amazon and while the box it came in says DT201, the sticker on the back of the unit says DT200. The unit does not have the splatter shield.
I have not heard of any smells from purple using this unit... none of mine had that... the stickers are incorrect on a lot of these units but I would just go by the features it has to make sure it is the one you wanted... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I had the same issue of plastic smell and couldn’t find a solution. Appreciate any ideas to solve it
I have 1-8 functions. The pre select on Bake never reaches 350 after 20 minutes is just on 300. Air fry set at 390 after 20 minutes just at 300. Is this normal. I am using an oven thermometer that is accurate. Is this a defective oven?
The bake function does run low but not the air Fry... you should proposal contact ninja...thanks for watching!!!
I'm still willing to offer the non-probe oven a new home if you need extra space!😂 Can you do more stuff for the Duo Crisp?
Lol...I have some plans for the extra oven already...I plan to get back to other devices soon...thanks for watching!!!
Suggestion: Check with your local shelters to see if they would like to add it to their kitchen.
My Oven Maxx no longer crisps chicken skin so I put an analog temp gauge in it and it's ~ 60*s to low at 450. As to cleaning, I used Easy-Off. BAD IDEA. The aluminum sides look cruddy now, and FYI, my OvenMaxx manual says nothing about not using it/ I emailed them 6 days ago, but so far no response
I'm not familiar with the OvenMaxx but hate to hear that...thanks for sharing that!!!
@@JohnSanders I followed your lead and moved the analog temp to the middle. Much better but 420 is 400
I don't know which thermometer you're using and I'm certainly not knocking it so please don't take it that way... but... that could be the 20 degree difference and when you think about it that is only a 5 percent error... just saying and I'm glad it is better than it was... thanks for sharing that by the way...
How do I get all the grease stains off of my oven? I've been at it with everything and nothing cleans it
John, I received my XL yesterday (without splash guard) and it seems to be very noisy. Since you have one with the splash guard and one with out, have you noticed if the one without the splash guard is more noisy?
I haven't noticed a difference in them...thanks for watching!!
