  • 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..

    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

    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! 👍

    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

    "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." 🇫🇷

    @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!

    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 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.

  • @bretthampton2050

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.)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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'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.
