Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer - It's going BACK ! Two weeks on...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- So after what was a good initial first impression, I'm actually sending the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer back to Ninja. We've found it's not cooking food evenly and worse still, there are quality issues. Is this a problem with just our unit - or does the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer have bigger issues?
Well watch and see me test it, and demonstrate the issues..

10:55 Wrapping Up and Conclusions..
13:33 GAME OVER - Розваги
Definitly faulty, the crisper should allow an even air fry, but the bottom tray sounds dodgey especially if your cooking meat. i always shake my my chips because there always seems a preferential browning area, probably the fan efficiency, thanks Kip
Definitely : Dodgy.
Glad I saw your video. I was considering purchasing. Thank you.
Well that poetic, watching a Kip video about ninja stacked air fryer and I get a ad video for ninja stacked air fryer, lol
Haha.. the al gore rhythm is doing its thing!
I have a Duronic dual air fryer that only cost me £129 on Amazon (which has two 5ltr drawers and one gigantic 10ltr drawer, I do think that I got it on offer as they are £134.99 with the three drawers now) and we have had it for 5 months now and it still looks good as new! It cooks evenly and quickly (a salmon fillet cooks in 6-8 minutes!)
We wouldn't be without it now. Thanks for a thorough and honest review of this fryer (I was thinking of getting one as I liked the space saving stacking, however, I'm not bothering now as I have seen the same comments from other reviewers . . . hubby thanks you too as he is fed up with me buying - what he calls my 'white elephants') TFS and have a great day! 👍
I am one that researches stuff to death so I'm so glad i saw this video. The number of times I have nearly clicked to buy this based on the reviews where the writer got the air fryer as a gift is unreal.....Big thumbs up for this Kip, thank you.
Thanks for this.
I was going to buy this
Excellent review! Returned mine for exactly what you said, uneven cooking. I also don't like the sounds of the alerter it is annoying. Exchanged it for a Cosori dual basket and couldn't be happier.
I have one , it’s lovely, I’ve cooked every day in mine, haven’t had a problem, as soon as I shake it, it is fine
Same problem here. Returned!
That's the problem with the fan position. I have the same problem with the oven. Same fan position. That is the reason they have put the fan on top at first place
Excellent review I also thought what you said about how the hot air is forced around the drawers. Also I don’t like look of the drawers from a cleaning aspect. I was looking at morse for counter space but I think I just stick with my old one with my toaster sitting on top of my air fryer. Oh the problems with having a small kitchen. Again thanks for your fantastic review. I have a Corosi daul blaze and at the time of my message it’s on sale on Amazon for for £139 but they also have a discount of £25 so it will come down to £114. I had no issues with this but I was looking at the stack for the counter space, but I don’t think my toaster would fit on time of so I be be back to the same dilemma of counter space
Great video, I have had the exact same issue with the uneven cooking. Mine is going back today. This issue is for both the drawers. On top of that, it takes nearly double the time to cook the same things that the air fryer function in the ninja foodi max done, and it does not do them as well.
Mine was exactly the same and has also been returned to Ninja
Biggest problem would be cooking grease foods because of the basket rear screen. Grease would either blow or over flow out the basket holes. Ninja didn't think this completely through
The top & bottom heating elements is more a gimmick than anything else since the heat is going to heat the bottom of the metal basket before it reaches the food. I own air fryers since first digital controlled models came out and have been pretty impressed with ninja double draw model. Their air broil does a great job cooking steaks much better than thought it would have. I have several ninja appliances and haven't been disappointed in any. I would not buy this or thirsty much prefer sodastream. I have creami deluxe but haven't tried it yet because no room to store containers in my freezer.
I'm glad you are letting us know of the issues you had with this unit. I was curious how it cooked. We have the Ninja one that has the baskets side by side. We have had it for about a year and really like it. It has similar/same features as the stacked on (matched cooking, start/finish at same time, etc.)
All the reviews say the same. It’s rubbish compared to the 2 draw version. Expect it to come off the market very quickly.
I've had mine for two weeks, absolutely brilliant, chips do cook evenly as long as you remove the draw at least three times and shake, chicken breast cook lovely, don't no what this guys on about.
Look at all the other comments.. I’m not alone. It’s badly designed - who wants to keep checking on their food. It wastes energy opening it and shaking it too.
"I received my double-track Ninja air fryer a week ago, and I am very disappointed compared to the one I had before, which I gave away thinking this one would be better. Apart from the space saved in width, that's really all because its cooking is not uniform at the front compared to the back. I cooked a chicken, and I had to turn it from the front to the back and also flip it to ensure it was evenly cooked. Additionally, the grease splatter during cooking dirties the heating elements at the back and is impossible to clean, and the handles are peeling. No, I'm really disappointed with the quality for such a price." 🇫🇷
Glad I’m not alone with the issues I’ve faced!
The dual zone air fryer oven from Hysapientia is the one to go for, big but brilliant.
I will stick to my 10-QT Ninja Dual. I originally had the 8-QT which was re-homed to my son. I am very pleased with both of these models. The Double Stack just does not appeal to me at all. The open back, the fan and heating element in the back....no go. I have many Ninjas; all kinds. At first, it was an addiction of sorts. Not so much at this point.
It isn't faulty. I got one does exactly the same ,it's the design, going to see if I can change it and get normal double one
It’s faulty by design! 😂
Thats because the fan is not at the top , its at an end.
100% faulty, mines OK kinda apart from chips with chicken I always turn as per instructions after 15 mins and comes out lovely
@KipHakes I bought one this weekend from John Lewis as I got £30 off plus i had £15 in vouchers. I got as far as reading instructions. In the warnings it says to have 15 cm of clearance above it and on each side. It also says not to have it at edge of worktop. I haven’t got it out of the box. I measured with tape measure & only have 7cm height clearance umder wall cupboard and 12 cm depth clearance. I think I'll have to re arrange my kitchen and maybe get a non stackable version!! It says not to put paper in it but on brownies recipe it says line with parchment paper! It says not to have it next to a cooker. Mine was going next to the cooker but I wouldn't have the cooker on!
Personally, I’d take it back- lots of people in the comments have had issues like I have had..
I am a 45y single and i own a Tefal "Actifry FZ751W" and it is a turning one. It turns while a shower of hot air blowing the Goods underneath the Hot Air Outlet. Never have experienced a bad or undone Load. It is build with a fixed Pan underneath and a turning axle where the Basket is mounted over it - and it also can do soups or Goulash in the Pan itself if you switch the Basket for a Rotating spoon-thing. OKAY you cannot use Baking Paper but the Pan itself is a Teflon Non-Stick
We have a rotating actifry too but sadly they have now discontinued them :(
Yep I'd say design fault. I've had a single draw ninja for a while now and it's faultless no probs. Glad you put this video up as was thinking about getting one of these. Might just get one a the Ninjas where the drawers are side by side.
Yep definitely worth considering side by side..
22 to 25 mins for chips seems a long time in our side by side ninja they probaly take 15 max for a nice crisp,
Exactly! It takes ages!
I love my Air Fryer Max XL. I bought the double bin side by side and didn't love it since it was too tight. I had higher hopes for this one :(
Me too!!
I always thought the design was flawed but my worry was if you shake certain foods it would escape out of the back grate. We had the other double drawer version and the non stick came off after 2 uses, I'd not buy any Ninja/Shark products.
The non stick in mine looks s as good as on day one. I had this problem with Philips years ago.
I thought this when i seen the design...
Wow and people rave about Ninja products I have a Cosori it's brilliant big enough for me 3.8 litre size 99.99 from Amazon when I checked the reviews for both the Cosori won hands down xx
Always been a Cosori fan, have many of their products. This is my first Ninja product and very disappointed. Returned it and bought a Cosori Dual basket air fryer, and I love it!
Hi, I’ve got that model too, do you know if you can fit a chicken in it please ? Thank you
How disappointing. The concept is clever, but it sounds like the execution isn’t there. I’ll stick with my Ninja side-by-side.
the product must be recalled. Uneven cooking is not only inconvenient it's outright dangerous. An unevenly cooked chicken could send people to the hospital. The idea of the product is good, it's a space saver but it's obviously badly designed.
Good it is much slower and less even
My Ninja 10 in 1 Oven is better than all these iterations they've produced over the last 2 years or so.. It'll cook a whole roast. Or two 12" Pizzas etc! For anything smaller, I have a Cosori 3.8l smart Air Fryer.. best of both worlds ❤️👍
Was going to order this for the form factor but I’ll just get the usual dual design. It’s annoying because I don’t have a lot of space in my kitchen due to how it was designed 😑
It seems like a smart invention, just the design isn’t quite right..
Je suis d'accord. Il ne cuit pas les aliments de la même manière à l'arrière et à l'avant . J'ai essayé des poivrons, du poulet et des frites de patates douce. Résultat : décevant.
Je vais le renvoyer dès aujourd'hui.
Dommage
I recommend Argos Cookworks duel drawer 9 litre viewing windows £100
I've got one,it is good
I’m glad you think so.. but the design is flawed. You can’t alter physics 🙌🏻
Wished i saw this 2 days ago! So frustrating and disappointing. nothing evenly cooked and double cooking times... so disappointed. Do I just take it back to store or Ninja themselves? Thanks for this.
I'd maybe speak to Ninja support, they will probably tell you to take it back.. But I think the more people that let them know directly might lead to change!
Get the consort dual blaze, it heats top and bottom, never need to shake. Can’t recommend it enough. Make sure it’s the dual blaze not just a blaze.
It is a Cosori Dual Blaze
I have the cosori dual blaze as well, it's really great. It's good because of the twin elements. Out of all the ones i've seen on the market i think it's the best one
I got the Stack for two weeks now. I don‘t have this problem at all. No chiping from any parts, all foods are cooking evenly
Judging by the replies on here, you’re in the minority! 🙌🏻
Ninja Foodie Max is the one to get
Costco’s Gourmia 6.7L Digital Air Fryer is much better than this Ninja Air Fryer and it’s only £49.99
It just plain looks ridiculous. I bought the Ninja Double oven. It suffers a bit from the same issue. The bottom oven is solely a “fan” oven. No radiant coils on top or bottom. It has what looks like the same heating design as this oven. A powerful convection set up. It bakes wonderfully, but falls short on air frying. Uneven. Nothing like the basket air fry with the coils on top. I think the Ninja with the Mega zone would be worth trying. That said, I’m getting tired of these gadgets.
Sounds like Ninja is cutting costs and compromising quality for profit, hope this is not the case and its a genuine fault, you would not expect Ninja to have quality problems.
I purchased one of their dual fryers and the silver plastic on the handle was scratched up and bubbling straight out of the box. The crisper plate was chipped too🤔
Not impressed with the quality and sent it straight back
Glad I’m not alone!
The newer Ninjas are all sparkle and little substance. My older Ninja AG301 and AG651 are still going strong since 2020 with no issues.
Yes.. I feel now they are trading on the name, rather than keeping standards high
sent mine back 24hrs after having it horrendous
So mistake number 1, i would hahe cooked the chips at 200C for 12 minutes straight and see how they come out and then shake it around loads and back in for abother 10 minutes bet it will cook.
One negative that i do find is snall chips do fall through but i hagejt used mine enough yet.
I have noticed what yoy said with sausages twice though, cooks/burns at the front not at the back bur obviously with sausages you turn them anyways so I tend to turn mine around.
When I see the double stack ninja being advertised, I did say to them it was the wrong design for the reason you have stated, it will never work as the convection part is set wrong unless they can come up with a way of in stalling another 2 fans they might as well scrap them
Hi it is a fault i had one and sent it back for a refund after four day's.
25 minutes for French fries that’s more than double the time my Cosori takes
Mi it's not your machine I got the same problem
This is obviously operator error and it baffles me always how entitled everyone is. It's like some people need the Cosori "shake" air fryer and or be told everything.
When you cook Pizza you rotate it once right? Usually stir, flip, shake, turn etc.... when cooking? When items get returned that are working as intended the cost usually comes back to the consumer. Either by dumbing tech down or having unnecessary R&D costs. There are actually people here that would have bought this but don't have the basic knowledge to think, "maybe not everything is set it and forget it"!
I hope your next product works and caters completely to your wants and needs!
No other air fryer requires 25 minutes and three or four extreme shakes to cook French fries. This is a garbage product.
@@kiphakes it's not for everyone. Sorry it didn't work out for you and you have to go through the return process.
Hmmm, being the sceptic that I am, wonders how an air fryer, set colder than a conventional fan oven with chips stacked on top of each other and seemingly little room underneath can ever cook anything properly.
They can when the heat is blowing down onto it, my old one did just fine, however this seems to work more like a fan oven..
@@kiphakes Except, fan ovens cook things properly (when set at the right temperature etc). As always, only my opinion, I am not a master chef.
Yes.. I don’t disagree with you..
I just got one and it is RUBBISH
I don't understand why people rave about Ninjas, they are overpriced and plastic and apparently don't work either. My Cosori airfryer oven cost a third as much, is made of stainless steel, has a rotisserie and cooks pizzas. It has top and bottom elements with a window and light so that you can see what's going on.
I had a Philips before - the inside looked like crap after a short time. My (old) dual Ninja was a gamechanger from the beginning. I have no problem using it.
I've had a ninja 10 in 1 pressure cooker foodie for over 5 years and it still works great. I was looking for something smaller and with a handle to remove the basket (reviving did from the pot, it removing the pot while hot is a pain...literally). The thing is a very multifunctional though. I aur fry in it, Anna dehydrate herbs in it (they just swish around, so I usually don't even need to move them around). I also bought a ninja coffee maker a year and a half ago. The power supply went out (likely due to a storm). Ninja replaced it for free. That being said, I also had a Nuwave air fryer toaster oven whose display stopped working altogether at least 2 years after we got it. They replaced it for free, too.
However, I'm glad I saw this video. I'm not buying the doublestack now. I am still looking for a ceramic small air fryer with adjustable temperature. I bought small stainless steel plates and use them in the one I have. It is so much easier to clean.
Dude don’t know how to use an air fryer. 😂. You need to rotate the food more. It works amazing.
It’s an absolute garbage product.. my old airfryer needed one shake of the food.. this requires 4 and still doesn’t cook right.. Loads of people are having this issue, it’s not user error it’s a bad design.
Who are you ???
Ronny Pickering
I don’t never follow THE book, the times that it’s given I always put it in 30 or 35 minutes for the chips, if it’s done before the time that I put I just turned it off why do we all expect that to be cooked when even that says 10 10 minutes and we all expect things to be done within five minutes or 10 minutes. I have got ninja too, but not like that one. This looks really cool actually because it’s spacesaving. When it’s not cooking the backside only the front side is cooking. This is definitely have got a problem.
That’s an insane amount of time for chips.. might as well use the oven 😂
@@kiphakes I’m not using whole 30 minutes. I’m just sitting it for longer time just in case if it needs a little bit more time. Plus no thanks for the oven I’m a disabled person
