What more do you need???
We purchased this as a gift for a member of family after getting one for ourselves. They are excellent, we haven’t used the oven once since we got it. Only gripe we had was the damage to the packaging, it had a hole right through the outer and inner box. Luckily the item was ok, just a bit embarrassing considering it was a gift.
WISH I had bought one sooner!
If you are wondering if you need an air fryer, TRUST me you do, I’ve cooked whole chicken, steak, sausages, bacon, toast, chips, fish, potatoes, mushrooms, turkey, beef, gammon and so many other things in this air fryer it’s so worth it and with a family of 6 the size is perfect, even when my oven/hobs broke down, I just cooked all our meals in the air fryer.
Get one, I can’t recommend one enough, it’s also easy to use and can be set like a normal oven too.
Good service from customer suppo
The airfryer stopped working and so I put in a troubleshooting request to the makers to try to fix it. They were slow to respond but eventually did so. After many emails back and forth (and some repetition of information) they offered to replace the unit with a new one. This was impressive as the airfryer was 4 months out of guarantee. So I’m now impressed with the company rather than annoyed about the unit’s apparent fragility. Let’s see if the new one lasts longer. I hope so – the Ninja is the best airfryer I’ve had.
Upgraded from a Phillips…
I bought the dual airfryer as my Philips one was old. I’m so glad I did. Having dual sections allows you to cook multiple things at once. If you have meat eaters and vegetarians in your household it is so convenient in making food at the same time rather than one. The max crisp function is great for oven food. I’m yet to try the others. It’s really easy to clean. I personally used to spray fry light on my Philips airfryer but on this one I don’t need to. The non stick is so great you can make you food and wipe the grease off with just a tissue when you’re done. I also put parchment or baking paper under the tray to catch any grease then Chuck it out. Over all this is a great buy as a first time air fryer or if you need an upgrade
Tasty chips and roast potatoes - no mess
Got this just in time for Christmas. Only used three times so far for chips and roast spuds. First class results in 20 mins with minimal oil. Easy to use and very easy to clean afterwards. The unit is slightly larger than expected but looking forward to trying more recipes.
Versatile
A really good air fryer. We are using our main ovens much less since we bought the Ninja. Everything we have cooked so far is perfect. We are writing everything down for timings. Hopefully, there will be an English edition recipe book soon without cup measurements.
Wow!
This dual cooker is amazing. Air fries and reheats in a fraction of the time and the max crisp is brilliant. The ability to cook two different ways at two different temperatures and different times yet sync to finish at the same time is brilliant. Got the 9l capacity and it’s large but worth it.

Easy to use - delicious food!
This one we bought because it was a WHICH? ‘best buy’, even though I had never heard of the brand, and a third of the price of another ‘best buy’ with a better-known name. I haven’t used it as it was a gift to my son, but he has raved about it – and that’s pretty unusual for a 21 year old who is big into gaming and sees feeding himself as a necessary chore! It’s actually seen him experimenting with a few new types of foods and buying some new ingredients to make different meals, so I’m secretly delighted to see that he’s branching out a little bit because of how quick and easy he’s finding it to make delicious food for himself!
Various foods can be coked in the fryer.
Cooks really well. Instructions are not the easiest to comprehend I found and it took me a couple of attempts to get cooking right. Soon mastered it though and I am very happy with the fryer. The different cooking methods are also really useful as is the dual cooking mode.
BRILLIANT PIECE OF KIT, HEALTHY TOO!
This clever device, big though it is, will transform the way you cook, especially fatty or fried foods. It has two separate trays, both independant of each other. They can be any length of time for cooking and temperature, each adjusted independant. Favourite feature is SYNC, which simply does what it says. If your cooking takes longer in one tray, it will hold the other one, so both finish ready for serving together.
Once you have one, you will stop using your oven, and save money, whilst eating more healthily at the same time.

A kitchen gadget we use everyday.
It’s very versatile, we use it almost everyday. Do leave a big space for it in your kitchens, it is huge. A word of advise: clean it as soon as you finish. The plates are easy peasy, can go in the dishwasher. However, I found although the drawers have non stick coating on, it still leaves sticky residual on the walls and very hard to clean if I don’t wash it immediately.

Cooking once you are use to your normal cooker will hardly be needed.
My Daughter purchased one which we took with used whilst on Holiday self-catering.
Didn’t think that much of it to look at at first if you used an air fryer before ones same as another I thought.
This Machine I can only describe as brilliant cooked chicken and chips for 4 really easy.
Fish and chips another day and various other meals I was on to Amazon whilst away to purchase one for delivery when I got home.
I can’t put to words in this review how great this cooker really is your Able to cook different items in each drawer different temperatures different times and different styles of cooking really is a top piece of kit.
Would highly recommend this cooker/fryer really does help meal times to be easy cooking and easy to clean after can pop in dishwasher if you have one I dont but it’s 2 minutes of a job to clean even when you have used both drawers.
Good purchase
Size is big, so if you have a party it will be helpful.
Very easy to use and clean. Just needs a big space to keep.
You can pretty much do everything in this what you can do in oven ( apart from baking a cake).
Chips, samosa, puff pastry, roasted peanuts, almonds, vegetables, chicken, lamb with gravy,
I will recommend this product.
I’ve never written a review so quickly. I received this air fryer at 6pm, it’s now 7pm and I’ve made (and eaten) my first dinner! I did something simple to start off with, so I heated up some casserole in the microwave while some chips were in the air fryer. My brother has had a ninja foodi for ages and he keeps telling me to get one because they’re so fab. Not only can you cook quicker, the food comes out so crispy, it’ll save electric, blah blah blah. So I gave in and ordered this. Well, I’m sat here with a full belly and a smile on my face, because, even though I haven’t tested it on everything yet, the chips were amazing. Seriously the best I’ve had for years. So light and crispy, and stayed crispy throughout my entire meal. I like a good portion of frozen skinny chips (enough for two people, I’m a pig, what can I say?) and they were cooked to perfection in 11 minutes. I’m so chuffed because the time it took to cook them, my oven would still be heating up! I can’t wait to try everything else now. It’s times like these where having a big brother has turned out to be handy! Lol.
Edit.ok, so my opinion unfortunately on this item has changed completely. I had it for a few weeks, and some things like chips were fantastic, but other things took ages to cook, which is not what I expected. I was beginning to think, did I pay nearly 200 just to do a few chips? Then drawer no 2 kept cancelling itself out during cooking. I thought I hadn’t programmed it correctly, but it kept doing it. It would start cooking, then just stop, then both of them did it, so clearly it was faulty, so I’ve had to return it. I still wanted an air fryer, so looked for a simple, cheaper option, which I bought and love so much, I got two! So, I’ve got two, simple, effective air fryers for way less money than this one cost. It’s a shame, but I’m happy.
New kitchen essential
Love my new Ninja dual air fryer.
Friends told me it would change how I cook and they were right. I’m still experimenting with recipes but everything is now cooked evenly and to perfection in a fraction of the time in a conventional oven and that’s good news for the energy bill as well. Yes, it’s big so maybe not for you if you have limited worktop space. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but considering it’s versitility I think it’s a great investme

Two Separate Draws.
Been looking at this for a while and got it a good price. Love the ability to cook to separate meals at same time. Excellent for bacon, sausage etc but best to to turn them frequently. Chips etc need a shake half way through. Best to cook items for the times as per fan oven, so lower temps best. Looking at my smart meter, Its power consumption is very reasonable

Excelle
We had decided to get rid of the chip fryer and do not regret buying the Ninja air fryer. So far everything we have cooked in the Ninja is lovely and so crisp. I am going to buy a Ninja book with lots of recipes from Amazon to expand the meals I make with it. Good buy from Amazo
I’m a 77 year old male living alone and hardly a cook. I bought the Ninja dual more in hope than expectation, and it’s exceeded my expectations. It’s early days yet but I am loving it and have used it for nearly every main meal I have eaten since I purchased it. A tiny bit of trial and error was involved in adjusting times and temperatures. However if I can use it and cook a decent meal anybody can.
My only issue, I wish I had a bigger kitchen for the bigger version.
Easy to clean, sits comfortably on my worksurface (locals here call it a bunker), it’s fast, it’s quiet, it has loads of options.
I really do like this unit – and is far more efficient than an oven. Have cooked a number of things from gnocchi to a full chicken (perfect). The only down side, and it’s nothing really, I just wished I was able to create dried fruit a bit quicker.
I will say, the size I bought is very suited to a single person or couple, go for the bigger version if you’re a family.

Changed my life
Honestly don’t know what I did before I bought this. I often buy things and then promptly don’t use them and stick them in the attic. I thought I might with this. I have not used my oven in months. Everything goes in this. It’s such a wonderful appliance- it’s like my favourite thing in the kitchen. Even the worst of cooks will make nice food with this. Love it so much! The only small teeny thing to watch- keep your fingers well away from the insides when you turn the contents. I almost burned my finger down to the bone when I held the tongs too far down. Pls be careful!!! I only did it once and still love it though!

My God I am gonna overdose on Fries 🍟
Have always said I would purchase one of these and this one has some great reviews so I thought it’s a no brainier.
Once you get the hang of using it the cooker oven becomes redundant.
A good addition to a busy kitchen.

Brillia
So many people rave about air fryers and I was sceptical but I absolutely love it. Replaces the need to oven, fry or grill using conventional methods. Have used for steak with comments it was the best I’ve ever cooked. Bacon, sausage, veg for a veg lasagne, pork chops.
It cooks beautifully while retaining the moisture and is incredibly tender.
Best thing I bought this year!
So impressed with this air fryer. The double basket is such a good idea meaning you can cook either double amount of food or cook two different foods. For example chicken nuggets and chips – grandchildren’s favourite, can be on the plate in less than 15 minutes and all without turning on my big oven and having cooking trays to wash. The drawers hold quite a bit of food and I particularly like that you can two different cooking methods requiring two different cooking times and still have them ready at the same time. Ingenious! Highly recommended, pricey but so worth it!

Delighted
Have used it nearly every day since it was delivered about 2 weeks ago – still need a bit of practice but overall very pleased with the results. There are only two of us so we chose the smallest one and it’s fine but a family would definitely need a much bigger one. Hoping to save on electricity
The product arrived scratched from Amazon, a month later, and with 8 phone calls (one of them being a manager called Carol hanged up on me) nothing has been resolved.
The item has been out of stock, I was told I had to check if it comes back in to get an exchange which is very strange to me, to be left to check every day for an Amazon item.
It was very confusing & stressful as I was inundated with e-mails from Amazon giving me labels for a refund just after I spoke to them saying I don’t want a refund (computer says nooooo) situation.
It seems everything goes well with Amazon if you don’t want an EXCHANGE EVER!!!!!
The Air Fryer works as it should and is a brilliant addition to the kitchen, but it is still unsightly to see those starches it came with.
It seems Amazon customer service has been reading off a screen and has been no help whatsoever.
I hope these issues get resolved as it’s a very good gadget and it works good for me & the family.
COME ON AMAZON PULL YOUR FINGER OUT AND DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought this after a friend raved about her air fryer. Following lots of research on various brands, I went for the Ninja Dual Foodi and not to be dramatic but it is life changing!
We hardly use the oven anymore as it’s just the two of us and it’s less efficient to heat the entire oven for a handful of chips. I love the sync feature so we can cook food with different cooking times to finish at the same time. We’re cooking more as it’s so convenient and quick.
Absolutely recommend!
A real timesave
I use this for so much more than air frying chips. I’ve roasted vegetables, cooked onion bhajis and samosas from frozen, cooked my salmon in foil perfectly; in fact if I need to turn on the oven for anything, I first think could it go in the Ninja? It takes a fraction of the time it would take in the oven and I can remove the pan and check on progress throughout. Initially I thought this would just be an expensive way to fry a few chips, but now I wouldn’t be without it. Highly recommended.
I was scepticle at first about this as I haven’t tried a air frier before.
But, since I have got this it took a couple of days to adjust and learn the cooking times, now I haven’t had to use my oven once for ages.
Food cooks better, faster and just seems tastier.
The two trays are big enough to fit food for a family of 4 or 5 easily. Give it a shake 1 or 2 times during cooking and they come out nice and even.
Build quality is fantastic, nice clean modern design and it is so easy to clean.
I can see this being the best thing I’ve bought for the kitchen since forever!
Perfect chips.
This air fryer is really big and bulky but it certainly does work exceptionally well.
Being a dual fryer with a sinc facility is what makes this worth buying.
Frozen oven chips don’t require oil and cook nice and crispy so long as you shake them frequently.
Battered fish air fry’s in the second fryer at the same time you just have to set the required temperature and time for each basket then press the sinc button and wait for them to finish cooking at the same time.
Another big plus is the lack of cooking smells and how easy it is to clean the baskets.
Would definitely recommend this this product.

Ninja, a good title.
Was slightly sceptical at first because I’ve always deep fat fried, but after the deep fryer needed changing I thought I’d try one and I’m not disappointed in the slightest, much cleaner, no filtering the oil or the massive cleaning that I had to do when changing the oil and filters, much easier all round, I would highly recommend this type of frying.
Best kitchen buy in ages
Extremely pleased with this product, which I would highly recommend. Have used it at least four or five times a week to cook for two. Produces healthier foods as not sat in fat, reduces cooking time, crisps beautifully, bakes well and is easy to clean.
The BEST AirFrye
I have used many AirFryers like Tower, Philips etc, but this really different one. You can run two sections same time or one after another. You just need to find right settings for your dishes. Once you know what temperature and time takes it to cook dishes then your job is done. Easy to use and clean afterwards. Perfect for family of 4/5 people.

Bye bye oven!
Purchased this on prime day at a great price and loving it so far. Oven chips come out perfect and in less time and no more burnt edges or unevenly cooked food. The dual tray is perfect as you can place different items in each and sync times so both finish at the same time. You can also open them whilst cooking to check on the food or give a little mix which is great. Fish fingers cook in less than 15 minutes and come out both crispy and moist. We have also cooked fresh fish by placing it on foil and turning up the edges so that the juices don’t drip out and dry out the fish.
The machine is easy to use, haven’t had to look at the instructions yet and easy to clean.
Erm life changing
So life changing is probably accurate. Cooking with barely any oil now and saving lots of electricity. Not using my oven much and able to cook different meals for me and the kids at the same time. Surprises me what it can do but quick, easy to use, easy to clean. Really impressed, big old beast but happy for it to take up the space in my kitchen as it’s the most used device

Worth every penny
I replaced a Tower air fryer which died an unceremonious death out of the blue. I thought I’d upgrade and try the Ninja instead of going like-for-like. Glad I did! This thing is so much more efficient, cooks quicker, heats up quicker, and is much easier to clean. The only thing I wish this had is a removable basket which can be removed from the tray itself, makes it easier to pour food out. Other than that, a great purchase.
Does pretty much everything!
This is by far one of the best things we’ve ever bought. Much quicker to through fries, vegetables and roast potatoes into this and cook in there then wait for the oven to get up to temperature. Not to mention it does jerky and cakes (haven’t tried this yet but will soon). Easy to use and great for when you need to do a quick meal without the wait times for pre heating.
Top tip a little oil goes a really long way with roasting or frying veg.

Amazing product- I have not used our oven since purchasing this appliance- meat cooked perfectly & taste is amazing good!! Easily to clean – highly recommend without hesitation!! If it broke I would purchase a replacement immediately!!
great results
Arrived yesterday, very quick delivery. I have cooked fish in batter, curly fries, Thick chips and pies, the pastry was lovely and crispy brown. Everything has cooked really well. It is so easy to clean. I have cooked individually and synced. once you get used to timings and different settings I will be using it most days. I love this machine and my husband can’t keep away from it either.
Our range ovens have given up working and we decided to get a new kitchen. Bought the ninja to use while the kitchen is fitted….tbh I can’t see us going back to coventional cooking the product is so good. The food comes out really special and in quick time. Get one, you won’t be disappointed.

Game changer : Doubt I'll use the oven agai
CONS:
*It’s pretty much one meal at a time. I could get a couple of chicken cutlets and chips/fries in this that would be a normal portion. Get a bigger machine if you need to cook for a family.
*There’s a tiny bit of cleaning after each use.
*You have to learn it a bit, get used to the timings.
*You’ll probably want to buy a food thermometer as you won’t believe how quick it has cooked food.
PROS:
*You can basically do deep-fried food with a tiny fraction of the oil.
*You can bake.
*You can dehydrate (haven’t tried yet.)
*Something in tinfoil won’t explode.
*Dishwasher safe.
*Probably save electricity over the oven.
*Billions of tips/recipes online.
*Free up space in your freezer from all the disappointing oven fries that you’ll never eat as they are so inferior to the hand-cut fries you can now eat.
*If you ever get food deliveries that take a while you can quickly reheat them in this. For instance kfc is slightly out of my range and the fries are always lukewarm and the chicken is ok but would be better hotter. Grab a piece of chicken then heat up the rest.
*best way to reheat pizza imo.
Best thing came into the house
Honestly the best bit of equipment for cooking I’ve ever got, cooking from frozen burgers, steak, chips or anything really, bang it into a draw pick the temperature which is mad easy with pictures to match what you’ve in then pick a time a bit of practice will perfect that then go put the feet up or whatever and wait for the ping and dinners ready..
Fast healthy tasty food
I have only had the air fryer for a little while but am already very impressed with it. 8 mins without any added oil it cooked steak for my partner beautifully. 6 minutes and my quorn sausages were cooked to perfection. Sweetheart cabbage cooked very quickly too. Roasted potatoes very tasty and only a little oil is needed for these. I’m looking forward to trying out new recipes in the near future
We’ve used our conventional oven precisely 3 times in the month since we got this amazing bit of kit. Cooked all sorts in it, including a 1.6KG whole fresh chicken which took just 60 mins and was the best whole chicken we have ever tasted (we cooked enough roast potatoes in the other side to fill 3 hungry adults, all cooked in less than 20 mins and synced to finish same time as the chicken).
Dauphinoise potatoes in an air fryer?? Absolutely, and cooked to perfection too! Bacon for the weekend fry up done in absolutely no time, Sausages no problem at all and cook so quickly without burning. The possibilities are endless with this game-changer of a kitchen appliance! Our best buy kitchen appliance by a country mile.
And, at the current rate of leccy savings this will pay for itself in less than 12 months! What’s not to like?
100% recommended

I LOVE IT!!! I bought this air fryer with the intention to use it for a few health meals. I have been so pleased that I actually use it for most things. My oven door hasn’t been opened since. The dual draw is excellent and allows different ingredients to be cooked for different times and temperature with ease. Using the ‘Sync’ option allows the two drawers to finish cooking at the same time. It cooks quickly, without having to use oil and is easy to clean I would highly recommend this fryer to anyone.
Brilliant for almost everything.
What can I say that a lot of people haven’t already mentioned! It’s an absolutely brilliant bit of kit and more versatile than you think so no you don’t just cook chips in this air fryer, I’ve done lamb, chicken, steak and other stuff in mine and it’s really easy to clean as it’s ceramic! This replaced my old tower air fryer and it’s a big step up in versatility and quality. Buy one.

Speeds up cooking considerably over a conventional oven (mine was gas)
Love the speed of cooking. Does McCain frozen chips in about 10 minutes. Lots of different options (I.e maxcrisp, air fry, roast, reheat etc. I shall be replacing my conventional cooker when the pandemic is over as although small pieces of meat such as chicken pieces can be cooked in it, whole chicken and joints need an oven, but for the time being this does a splendid job alongside my microwave.

We have used this every single day since buying a month ago. Probably wouldn’t be suitable when cooking for a family as it doesn’t hold enough. But with 2 grown up offspring eating at different times, due to work, its fabulous. I’ve cooked a full English bacon, sausage, eggs, tomatoes, black pudding even toast. Chicken, roasted Veg, salmon fillets, burgers. It’s so easy to use and clean, but best, you don’t have to wait for the oven to heat up.
Very easy to use and cooks food much faster than ove
Wish I had purchased one of these earlier we have hardly used the oven since we got it. It is great for roasting vegetables and potatoes. Also for crispy chicken and chips. Have also used air fryer for fish in breadcrumbs and makes fish crispy on outside whilst keeping fish soft inside. We bought a wire tray separately so that we could do two different foods at a time. Need to be careful as food on wire tray cooks faster so may need to add food later in cooking process or adjust temperature. Overall very pleased with this item it is very easy to use and cooks food much quicker than oven.
Easy to use, cooks healthy food!
Cooks healthy foods quickly! Lots of variety and can cook different foods at the same time using the sync button. Not really any cooking smell. Lovely air dried chips. Sausage and bacon cooks in minutes!
Not tried baking a cake yet but very happy with everything else. Hubbies favourite hunters chicken and fried onion rings, without fat !!
Expensive but bought in Amazon sale and 5 easy payments!!

Fabulous!
Absolutely love the Ninja Dual as it’s so easy to use, cook’s quickly and properly too and the capability of cooking two different foods at the same time and finish cooking at the same time without having to clock watch and go put the second food on to cook is superb! It’s easy to clean too so that’s a huge bonus.
Great piece of ki
Absolutely wonderful appliance. It’s used for cooking virtually most foods in our house! It crisps roast potatoes and roast veg just as if done in a normal oven but without the fat , we’ve cooked chicken, salmon, chips of course, my husband even done his bacon and sausages for breakfast and a hash brown! They all come out nice and brown as if fried or grilled. Amazing and so much more healthy. The other day he had calamari cooked in it! Can’t praise this enough. Best thing we’ve bought in a long while. If there was any slight criticism it would be the smell when first used but this is fading fast now.
Well what can I say, this dual air fryer is an absolute game changer.
It’s easy to use and do a multitude of things apart from air fry. I love the fact how you can set both at different times and temperature and they finish at the same time. It’s easy to navigate the menu even without the manual. As with all ninja products you know you are getting a quality kitchen product that out preforms it’s competition. This is not the only ninja product I own an it will surly not be the last I buy. Next on my want list is the pressure cooker to go with this and my maxi grill. I mean these 2 along have made my cooker obsolete and hardly ever used.
When it comes to cleaning it’s a simple process of taking out the 2 draws an giving them a empty an clean with hot water an a microfibre cloth..
I can not recommend this amazing product enough and if your thinking of getting one don’t think just do it you won’t regret it at all

The ninja dual zone Air fryer has a huge 7.6 L total capacity. There is two individual baskets which are 3.8 L each. It has six programs, which are Air fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, Max crisp and reheat. If you are only going to use one of the baskets then zone one is the default zone to cook with, but what I particularly like about this is that for instance you can air fry at 200 in zone one for 30 minutes and you can roast in zone two at 180 for 20 minutes at the same time by pressing sync and then start. This will start zone one and when it reaches the 20 minute timer zone two will come off of hold and start roasting. If you remove the basket such as for chips to give them a shake, then the timer will pause until The basket is re-inserted and if both zones are cooking it will pause both timers. The other option that I really like which is nice and easy and can maximise your output if you’re cooking the same thing, For example if you had to Air fryer 1.5 kg of chips. Then place your chips in both baskets and on the zone one display enter in your temperature timer and press match then start. This will duplicate all of the information to zone two, Which makes it easy and super efficient. The max crisp is set at 240 and this is the only function that The temperature can’t be changed, and it could be set to a maximum time of 30 minutes. The air fryer function can be set between 150 and 210 and has a time range between 1 minute to 1 hour. The roast function allows you to use the ninja as a conventional oven which has a temperature range of 120 to 210 and has a timer that can be set from one minute to four hours. The reheat function has a temperature setting of 130 to 210 and can be set from 1Minute to One hour. The dehydrate function allows you to gently remove moisture from meat, vegetables and fruits. This temperature can be set between 40 to 90 and has a set time of up to 12 hours allowing you to create healthy snacks. The bake function means that you don’t have to wait the usual 10 to 15 minutes that your conventional oven would take to pre-heat Which is perfect if you just want to knock up a quick dessert. The temperature setting is 120 to 210 and has a time range between 1 minute to 4 hours. This ninja air fryer is super easy to clean, compare to my previous Tower Air fryer baskets. Overall we are very satisfied with our purchase as it has so many functions, Not just an air fryer. I hope you have found my review helpful.
Fantastic a must have in the kitche
This air fryer has been life changing. I have made everything from cupcakes scones salmon asparagus baked sweet potatoes, corn in the cob and of course chips. My oven being used less so saving in fuel as well. I am pescatarian but my husband eats chicken which I have done for him in the die fryer and he says it’s is absolutely delicious! Wouldn’t be without my air fryer and wish I had got one a long time ago.! Do you research and look at you tube for tips and tricks and you won’t look back!!
Would recommend
I thought about an air fryer on and off for years and am so glad I got this. Since having it I’ve cooked almost every single meal in it, it’s much quicker than using the oven and makes cooking so easy. Bit of trial and error with times / temperatures to begin with but everything has turned out great. The two draws are incredibly useful, especially using the sync functionality as you can just put it on and let the fryer do the work.

I usually eat fish and chips one day a week cooked in the oven Using the ninja is a lot better. I was surprised how much better the fish and chips turned out. When I have a fried breakfast on a weekend it’s much easier to use the ninja, hash browns in one drawer and sausage and bacon in the other. Cooked at different temperatures and time but synchronised to be ready at the same time and tasting better than fried. As I get more used to it I will get more daring with what I cook in it. I took a photo copy of the instructions and encapsulated it and keep it by the ninja for reference.
I had a tefal Actifry original which was great for oven chips and then saw a friend with a Ninja. I needed a bit more versatility and space than the actifry could give and took this plunge. Brilliant bit of kit. I’m into West Indian cooking and this Ninja does my chicken just right. You can’t use it for “everything” but I’ve almost tried. Brilliant for fish, prawns, chicken and Steaks (medium, medium rare ribeye!)
Does take practice. You’ll burn a few things if you don’t pay attention to turning your food but the “Sync” feature is Brilliant. Roasted vegetables one side and Trout the other! Oven has been relegated to Garlic Bread prep..!
Really very good.
Have used three times. Twice meal for one, fish and chips from frozen, very fast, all in the same draw. Added very chunky chips a few minutes after fish. second time didn’t shake draw, all came out fine, very hot.
Third time did a Gammon joint, 1.3kg completely done in about an hour. Would normally take 2, plus hours.
Very impressed at the moment, very easy to clean. Have used both draws, but not together.
I’m impressed at the speed of cooking, I should have taken more care with the cooking times, as chips 16 minutes were slightly over done, and fish probably didn’t need 22 minutes. Depending on the frozen fish and chips size, probably need to experiment more to get correct timings, or just pay more attention during cooking.

Love it!
Absolutely love this – very straightforward to use with the easy-to-read instructions and even some ideas of recipes to use. Easy to clean afterwards as well.
I have owned this a few weeks now and only used my oven once in that time to cook something that cannot be done in the Ninja (a pizza), and I have also noticed that it does not cost much to run at all based on readings from my electric smart meter.
If I HAD to say something negative, it would be that this is quite large, however I have made space in a spare cupboard to keep it when not in use (but it’s not too heavy to move around). If you have limited space on your worktop this might be something to consider.

I purchased the Ninja Foodi to try and expand on my everyday meal choices.You know,same dishes week in,week out.I wanted to have more choice,but eat healthier without being a slave to the hob.
I have used this for a week now and it’s fantastic.I air-fried my usual sausages instead of shallow frying and i couldn’t believe it.So crispy on the outside and really succulent on the inside.All within 8 minutes.I air-fried some sweet potato wedges,they were superb.I have also cooked a piece of salmon,sublime;chicken fillet,home made burger.
Basically this machine will cook all of your food quicker than frying or baking and to another level.
The Ninja Foodi has 2 baskets with removable crisping trays.They are really easy to clean and are dishwasher safe.
The other features are Max crisp.Roast.Reheat.Dehydrate and Bake;Yes you can bake a cake.
Another great attribute is that it has a sync button.While cooking 2 different dishes at different cooking times,they are both cooked at the same time.
I’m sure that in a few weeks time i would have probably tried out all of the cooking options the Ninja Foodi has to offer.Did i mention that it also looks very sleek and stylish.
Indispensable and worth every penny
I’ve cooked all kinds in this versatile unit and I love it, should have bought one years ago.
Simple to use but timings take a bit of practice as it’s easy to burn stuff if you’re not on the ball as it cooks so quickly.
Easy to keep clean, which was one of my concerns, comes up like new with just soapy water.
Highly recommended!!

I’ve been looking at getting one of these for a while now, and I’m so glad I finally decided to take the plunge and buy one! It is quite big, it takes up roughly the same amount of room on the counter top as my microwave (leaving enough room around the machine to ensure proper air flow for the vents etc). It is so easy to use, we have made loads of things in it already (see a few pictures I have added) fish, meats, potato wedges, halloumi fries (sooo nice!) and I’ve even used it for cooking frozen chicken nuggets/fish fingers using the ‘Max Crisp’ button when I’ve needed to do a quick meal for my little girl. It cooks everything so quickly and with great results, so much better than using my normal oven. The chicken wings we cooked in particular came out amazing, almost like they had been cooked on a BBQ. The ‘Sync’ function on the 2 drawers is amazing, I can have 2 different things cooking 2 different ways at 2 different temperatures and times but they’re ready together as the Ninja ‘holds’ the drawer that needs less cooking until it’s time to go. I have yet to cook a whole chicken/joint of meat but I plan to soon, we have used it nearly every day since buying it, so definitely worth the money. A few tips I would point out is to try and not overfill the drawers, a single layer works best and to shake the drawers a couple times while cooking, especially for things like wedges/chips/chicken wings etc. You simply wash the drawers and crisper trays in hot soapy water and they’re good as new. I love it, so happy with my purchase, I would totally recommend.
Cooks to perfection!
I hardly ever use my oven after buying this. Plus my walls/tiles aren’t covered in grease from spattered frying pan oil. Chicken is succulent with ultra crispy skin as is salmon fillets, all cooked to perfection. I bought the small one and can still get a whole small chicken in there. I love it!
Only used it three times so… longevity is currently unknown.
Cooked burgers, fajitas, and breaded chicken. Pretty much cremated the breaded chicken because I underestimated how quickly it cooks. My oven doesn’t heat up properly in my rented home, so therefore I’m used to food taking ages to cook.
Kids said the burgers were juicy and tasted better than I normally make.
Can’t wait to try the other settings on this.
(Bought on prime day so massive discount, but definitely recommend).

it took a long time to make this one as the choice,too many sorts , but i am glad i did, only tested it on chips so far but its very quick on one portion ,only 7 mins, 2 portions 12 mins, very crispy and dry, the only downside to the thing is it doesnt stir the food, but its so easy to just shake the basket, it doesnt take up too much space, but it is taller than most cookers
Best on the marke
I’ve had 4 fryers in the past 5 years, they all failed with various issues ranging from doors not closing, mechanisms not triggering fryer to come on and electrical failures. Ninja are on another level, solid construction good sturdy handles. Non-stick tray inside each basket allows the food to not sit in any residual liquid or fat, you can of course remove this.
large independent operated baskets, you can sync the timers so that food requiring different cooking times complete at the same time.
Its just a really good product.
