Ninja
I brought the ninja with apprehension, believing I was buying something to use a few and stick in the cupboard for eternity. I have used the NInja every day and haven’t used my oven once, saving a small fortune on gas. The ninja cooks fabulously and saves so much time; meals are made within half the time
It's called the ninja for a reason!
A great addition to the kitchen, makes cooking chips a doddle, anything that was previously for a deep fat frier can be used from r the ninja. Very fast cooking times too.
Easy to use and solid metal constructio
I like the solid metal design with two drawers with metal trays. Clear instructions about cooking various food items either in a single drawer or both. Glad I bought this and would be very handy to minimise the use of my
present electric hob cooker.
Game change
In times of rising energy costs this air fryer is a real game changer. No longer do I have to heat up the oven to bake, fry, roast or reheat a meal. Quick and easy to use, takes up less space than a microwave and the food comes out so much nicer too! It’s not just a fancy and healthier way to cook chips, although those do come out fluffy and crisp, I’ve used it for cooking sausages, chicken pieces, salmon, reheating a slice of pie where the pastry that’s stayed lovely and flaky. This model has a dehydration function too that I haven’t used yet however have some fresh herbs to try later. A good investment and I’ve seen people buy a cheaper brand only to upgrade later. I grabbed mine when I saw it on special and very pleased with my purchase.
Brillia
This is a game changer. It cooks food quickly, evenly, chips, fish fingers, sausages, pizza, garlic bread, chicken ,fish.. everything! so easy to use, no cooking skills required.
The product feels sturdy and quality and thankfully easy to clean, you can remove the base and wash / submerge it. It must be extremely efficient too, rather heating a conventional oven to 200 for 45 mins, for a few chips and sausgaes, it can just heat the small basket for 5 minutes to do the same job. And we all need to save on energy bills right now….
I can’t speak for rival products but this is definitely worth purchasing.
A must have in any home
Because this air fryer has 2 compartments that can be used individually or together gives the most amateur chef the ability to make a great meal. Easy to use and easy to clea
A must have
These are bigger than they look so you need a decent sized surface to leave on. I am totally in love with my Ninja it’s one of the best buys I have purchased so easy to use too
Amazing appliance, definitely worth the money
This air fryer is a great addition to the kitchen. We previously had a small Phillips one that was used several times a week, but found ourselves having to cook meals in stages (especially for the kids – cooking nuggets, then fries etc).
The two baskets mean that we can cook two things at once, and the controls are great – you can easily set it so that both parts finish cooking at the same time even if they need different times/temperatures.
It’s also very easy to copy settings across to the second basket, so I having to set up time and temp once.
Very easy to use once you’ve tried it a couple of times. Auto pauses the timer when you pull the basket out to shake too which is a nice touch.
I’ve only tried the air fryer seeing so far but am looking forward to trying out the other settings, in particular using the dehydrate setting on home grown peppers this year.
It’s very easy to clean. Unlike our last one which had wire baskets which were a nightmare, these are totally non stick surfaces, and there is an inner base that is readily removed for cleaning too. A quick hot soapy wash and it’s ready for next time.
First ninja product I’ve bought, but would definitely consider them in future when looking for other appliances now. Well worth the money if you use as regularly as we do.
Amazing product!
I was so happy to finally get one of these!! Don’t think we’ll ever use our main oven again! amazing quality and so easy to clean after use! Definitely recommend.
Supper efficient, healthy cooking method, gives you bandwidth to multi-task.
Amazing powerful handy gadget. Once you figure out how to separate cooking mode settings between the trays 1 and 2 if you preparing different meals you good to go. It took me a while to figure out which air fryer modes to use for what type of food,coz I was lazy to read manual. Manual is an amazing guide to foods ideas you can cook with your gadget and which mode is best. Teens can make their own meals too which is awesome. No regrets at all… Bought for my loved ones as gifts and they love me for 2 life-times
Wow
We got a bit sick of the deep fat fryer, the smell when oil was getting a bit thin, then the changing oil and cleaning the greasy equipment, Well no more. What a revelation, getting the af100uk, we thought we’d try it on a few frozen curly chips to start, see how it went, well, absolutely perfect, jut like when deep fried but without the oil and as quick, then last night decided to try it on sausage and bacon, one set in the fryer and one under the grill, just to compare, well apart from the sausages (cooked from frozen in both) crisping but not browning in the air frier like under the grill, which could just be a timing/temperature learning curve, you could not tell the difference between the two separate plates, absolutely spot on. The air frier seems so much easier, with a nice bright display and easy to operate, not like the VCRs of old.
We have only had it for two days but are so impressed with this model so far we would highly recommend. One noticeable thing was the original newness smell when first used which has lingered around for a while but am sure will go once in full use.
Cooks virtually anything!
I love it. I don’t know how I did without it. It cooks a vast variety of foods, and quicker than a conventional oven. It arrived in good time, abs I was able to use it straight away. Highly recommend
Ninja air frye
I have had an air fryer before but not a Ninja. It was still working but after three years good use it looked past its best. I always wanted to try a Ninja.
At first I wasn’t overly impressed on comparison but after a while I got used to it and now love it. It cooks much quicker and I never heat it for the recommended 3 minutes. I never did with my old one so don’t with this. I use the roast function when I need a gentler heat as it can overly dry out food on the airfry function.
It’s fine for me as I am on my own and the basket is sufficient but not as big as my old one. I don’t think it would be suitable for more than two persons.
It is very easy to clean, not too big and has suction feet.
Fab Food
I have cooked a variety of items so far…..only had it a couple of weeks so much more experimenting to do. Makes oven chips much better than in the oven. Cooks chicken breasts beautifully in 20 minutes. Cooks burgers without stinking out the house with greasy smelly smoke. Great for steaks. Re-heats pies to perfection. Haven’t tried baking in it yet but will give it a try. Love that by selecting ‘sync’ different foods are ready at the same time. Highly recommended.
This is so useful the functions offer a choice for each basket also to enable different cooking modes to finish at the same time .I’ve made a roast (chicken roast potatoes parsnips carrot’s & Yorkshire puddings ) I did cook greens on the hob . I’ve noticed the time is much quicker & using less electric., The unit is easy clean I choose to wash the baskets by hand but they can be put in the dishwasher . The unit sits under my worktop it doesn’t get hot on the top of the air fryer when using .I do pull it out to allow the hot air behind to circulate when using it’s not heavy I’m 72 & can manage this . I’ve had this air fryer for two weeks & tried different recipes I’ve found on line . Overall very pleased with my ninja air frye
Love it.
Am still experimenting with cooking times as guide seems to be geared to US food size e.g. bacon and chicken pieces. Sausages take 6 mins! It’s changed my cooking for ever!
Brilliant Air Frye
The results from this air fryer are brilliant and consistent no matter what you are cooking. The fryer has two independent draws so you can use either one or both together. You can cook a full meal all at the same time as each draw has its own independent functions, temperature and time scales so you can air fry in one draw and roast in the other, cook chicken in one and chips in the other, it has a sync button so even though the cooking time and settings maybe different for each draw the meal will finish at the same time. If both draws are cooking say a family portion of chips you can press the match button and the fryer will set draw 2 to the same settings as draw 1. Because of its non-stick coating of excellent quality, it is so easy to clean which is a bonus. There are much cheaper air fryers out there but this one is top quality, very functional with excellent results and my wife and I would without hesitation recommend this one.
Ovens little brother on steroid
you can set both at different times and temperature and they finish at the same time. This cooks faster than a normal fan oven and gives a some what better crispyness on things like chips or even a good old sausage.
If i had a better oven i wouldn’t buy this though. Ultimately we are just lazy and we want to be more lazy by finding shortcuts lol which saves us time to be more lazy in other lazy activities we participate i
Brilliant Air Frye
I got this Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Airfryer for my hubby to use, as he likes the convenience of good quality gadgets as I do. It’s a clever air fryer that can use just one drawer or both. They can synchronise to finish at the same time, even though one needs less time or a different temperature or cooking method. It has cooked things well, it comes with a booklet on cooking times, like all airfryer machines it is a bit of trial and error, we have cooked a whole medium chicken in one drawer successfully and cooked sauted potatoes in the other. It does bake too like an oven. I like the fact the drawers and inner trays are dishwasher safe. The only thing is the size of it, I put it on an IKEA trolley I’d bought for this as our worktop space was lacking. It’s a great addition to our kitchen, I definitely recommend getting the bigger one as the drawers aren’t huge. Happy to recommend.
Energy-efficient & versatile
We were given one of these excellent machines as a Christmas present.
Very useful, very easy to use and incredibly versatile.
After using this a few times, we have bought a second one to take with us when we go away with our caravan; obviously, this presupposes an electric hook-up but it is much more efficient at cooking than using on-board 6kg bottled gas – mobile leisure users of which appear to be treated as low-priority by a certain well-known (?notorious?) national supplier viz. C**or G*s UK) which continues to issue LPG supplies on what seems to be a ‘war-time rationing’ basis.
All in all, a *highly* recommended product.
Actifry plus
Only had the appliance a couple of weeks but found the controls very simple to use and the cooking of the various foods turned out to be satisfactory. When cooking make sure you shake or turn the the food regularly for even cooking and to ensure the food is not over cooked or burnt. Use the instruction booklet as a guide for cooking the various foods, not set in stone.
Love this air fryer it’s the first for us, but glad we have purchased it. So far we have cooked whole chicken, Duck breast, sweet potatoes, jacket potatoes, note start jacket potato in microwave first then finish off in the Air Fryer. Also have cooked whole joint of beef all absolutely perfect, just watch the recommended timings! This fryer cooks fast! We love it plus saving energy not heating whole oven space
Worth every penny
Use this probably 4/5 times a week. Quicker than using the conventional oven and cooks without oil so much healthier.
Trying to find a recipe book that is not American so I can do more with it.
Surprised how good this is
Ordered this because my wife seen it in John Lewis, but delivery was faster with Amazon and the same price. I did think it would be one of those things that are on the side in the kitchen used a few times the relegated to the back of the cupboard, but to be honest it gets used every day, you can cook all sorts in it and it’s fast, very easy to clean and according to my electric smart meter used considerably less power than using the oven. “Result”
Survival Essential
With the rising cost of domestic energy under the microscope it is more important than ever to gear up for the tough months, possibly years ahead. That’s where this product shines brighest, with its duel zone air fryer system and slick design it makes cooking simple, delicious and cost effective.
It’s so easy to use that even my 7 year old nephew is now completely fascinated by all things Air Fryer, even to the point he’s offered to cook if he gets to use it. Bonus!
Not a product to missed! It is so much easier to use than the Ninja Foodi 7in1 as it’s literally just 3 taps to create a perfectly meal every single time. Magic!
The lightweight trays and easy to grip handles make it a doddle to use for my Mom who struggles with severe authritis, yet even she has started to enjoy cooking again.
Roast Chicken
Steak
Sweet Potato Fries
Bacon
Ready Meals
Quiche
Muffins
The list is endless….
Its so simple to use
This cookware is easiest item in the kitchen yet holds such mystery.. my husband thinks it is the Tardis and I am so clever to produce such results from it yet once a book has been read it is child’s play. I do recommend a cookbook for the many recipes that are available to you its a case of load and walk away because it turns off when finished with a mind like mine that is fabulous and adds a level of security to multi tasking.
The machine is a good size but fits nice on the side it looks nice too the cleaning is just so simple I have used and wiped it over or used and washed either way it is easy. Although not cheap I do recommend this for any kitchen if the cost is beyond your means get a one draw machine because either way it is a revolution in the kitchen. It cooks fast and clean it does not smell out the kitchen and looks great what more could you want.
Easy to use
Operation of the dual zone is very easy and the results can be perfect however finding the correct temperature is the key, it takes some trials but the results are worth it.
Finding a cook book for the dual is possible but most are none UK.
Brillia
Have used it every day since bought it, am trying to lose weight and really helping as not using oil, the dual is great as can cook separate meals at same time
Unreal Machine.
Haven’t stopped using it since it arrived, cooks everything perfectly and within a great time too. The sync option is brilliant, even said to my parents about this wonderful bit of kit and they purchased one also!
Not a gimmick-such a great produc
I’m not easily impressed with products nowadays, they all seem to sell a dream but in reality it’s a let downbut on this occasion my choice to spend more on a what I thought was (but prayed it wasn’t) a gimmick has turned out to be better than the text that describes it.
Cut to the chase..being able to cook dishes at once AND have them finish at the same time is a real life changer.!! I’ve had 1 tray fryers before and although they’re good and have large capacity baskets they could only ever cook 1 food at a time and with kids having fish fingers or sausages I’d need to turn the grill on or oven on which defeats the object of having the fryer.
The Ninja Foodi does exactly what is say on the sales talk and advertsbut much better in reality when you can cook perfect fish fingers and French fries at the same time and have them finish to be dished up on the plate together and just add beans!
Cooking times need to be managed but that’s fine as it depends on the quantity being cooked so to be expected. It reduces cooking time, no heat up time.just pick your setting press start and off it goes.
It’s fairly quiet to for a fryer even when both trays are preparing your culinary delights.
Yes, this is more expensive than other brands and fryers.but you pay for what you get, they also have spare trays available to buy.
You won’t be disappointed, so far I’ve cooked fish fingers, French fries, bacon, sausages, part baked rolls (amazing, see image), chicken wings, sausage rolls, meat pies, chicken pieces.if you want photos of the results please ask.
Happy to write the review as I’m very happy with the product and believe credit where credit is due..well done Ninja for a great product!
Amazing bit of kit, I use it every single day, often several times a day
So glad I got this. Saves on so much time and extra cost of using the oven. And it actually cooks nicer than the oven does! You can keep checking and shaking and get it exactly how you like. The only thing is that it still has a smell like a fryer.. I’m sure that’s unavoidable but oddly I wasn’t expecting it to, so for me it definitely needs used near a window or extractor fan.
Economical twin cooking
I cook lots of different things in mine, love that you can cook 2 different things to be done at the same time. Would be great if Shark/Ninja supplied a recipe book to go with this.
I have had my Ninja for a week and am find8ng it fantastic. I am 82 years old and thought it would be a nightmare to learn how to use but quite the opposite it is easy, and very adaptable. The pictures show my first offerings of little cakes. Just a small amount of mix, 4,4,4 & 2 eggs made 10 little cakes, 5 with butter icing and 5 fruit. I wasn’t sure of timing so just put on for 10 mins and then increased a few minutes at a time until happy. I really should write the timing down and will next time. The pork chops were amazing., just rubbed with oil, and then added salt and sage & onion herbs. I had the chops in one basket for 12 mins on air fry and the baked potatoes in the other for an hour, turning over each half way through. Potatoes too big delivered by Tesco but my hubby loves his baked pots. I saved one of mine for the following day. As you can tell I am very excited and pleased with my air fryer, the dual max 2.
No more frying pan!!
A great piece of kit, steak, burgers and sausages are so much tastier. Feels healthy too. Fries are amazing, I won’t be buying takeaway chips after using this.
Easy to use, clean and store. I’m so pleased I bought it.
Excellent double mini fan oven - but it only lasted a month
Returned a Tefal Active Fry as it was hopeless and this works SO much better. Sausages done in 10 mins, chips get crispy – saves energy and saves time. Needs a couple of shakes during cooking but its quick easy. Ours is being retuned as it cuts out and switches completely off mid programme so hopefully the next one will be fine. Since we have had we literally haven’t used the main 2000w oven which takes 5 mins to warm up and uses double the power of ONE drawer in this.
Excelle
So pleased I bought this I’ve now cooked every type of meat and had excellent results. It cooks in half the time as my oven so saving money on electric, can eat a roast dinner in 30 minutes!
Simple to use for nearly everything
Since buying, I have used my ninja daily, and I haven’t used the oven at all. I made bread rolls yesterday on the dehydrate and then bake settings, egg on toast, gorgeous homemade chips and wedges. I would definitely get the bigger version for a family of 4 but I love this one. It can cook wet foods but I wouldn’t cook a soup for example. Cupcakes were amazing but I wouldn’t cook broccoli although things like roasted Brussels would probably be very nice. No downsides so far but you will need worksurface space, it’s too big and heavy to store in a cupboard and it needs room all around to allow airflow otherwise it could overheat. It must not be placed on a cooker either. Overall 5 star product.
It cooks quicker than my oven, definately the two drawer one is a big advantage.
I haven’t any negative comments re my Ninja, it’s brilliant. The dual drawers great as I often sync the cooking time when one product needs a longer cooking time than the other it keeps the second drawer on hold until its cooking time kicks in, so both items are ready at the same time,very clever.
Absolutely love this. Very easy to use and clea
I bought this to replace my old air fryer.
I’m really loving it. Makes far superior frozen or fresh chips. Great for cooking sausage, bacon with no fat.
Looking forward to cooking other foods.
Very easy to clean.
Very pleased
My daughter recommended this to me. Took the plunge and glad that I did. Works well on air fry, sausages, bacon, chips, Yorkshire puddings, lamb chops. Roast setting for heating ready meals, salmon in foil or anything you would do in a fan oven. Reheat for things that are cooked and can’t go in the microwave such as sausage rolls, pies etc. A word of warning though, you would be wise to reduce advised temperatures for a fan oven by 10c and reduce the cooking time. So a gadget that works and I must be saving on electricity as its obviously far smaller than the fan oven. Instructions are not very good and ignore the Roast and Reheat settings but apply some commonsense and it’s fun finding out.
Timesaver .
First time user of any air fryer . Excellent size for a family and easy to use . Has many functions with a sync option . Easy to clean and dry .Great time saver if you are multi tasking and have a busy household like me . Nice big baskets and the settings are very clear and precise as you can adapt them to your preferences. Only thing it is missing for me is a “pause” button as that would be beneficial, but that is just my opinion. Cooks great without little or no oil and food tastes good. All in all i am very pleased with this as i got it at a great price at the time . Would recommend .
Works well but cheaply made for the price
Wanted something easier to use, quicker than an oven & easier to clean. The features are handy, I wouldn’t say the chips etc are better than fat fried but they are a healthier alternative & better than oven cooking. You do need to shake chips midway though for a decent result and not burnt Chips.
It says the trays are dish wasable. There’s no way that non stick coating & plastic chrome’s (I’ll come on to that) looks dish washable. In fact when reading other reviews people had commented that their non stick has begun to peel. Mine has peeled slightly on the top respite hand washing & no where in that location for it to scrape on after a few days use. They said return it but what’s the point when Amazon doesn’t have the model back in stock for the price I got it for. They don’t do replacements. If it gets worse or in the tray itself I’ll have to.
For the price of the unit I’d expect metal chrome trims and handles. Not the cheap plastic Chrome they use. I was very disappointed about that. Overall, cosmetics aside it is a good unit. Much easier and quicker to cook and I don’t regret the purchase. I just wished they took a bit more pride in their build considering the cost compared to competitors.
Brilliant.
Best purchase I have made for a long, long time.
Easy to use temp and timer controls (temp changes in degrees of 10 and timer changes in minutes).
Have cooked various things so far from sausages and roast potatoes to cheese on toast (with ciabatta rolls) and pies and they all cook excellently. You will need to adjust temps and times when cooking, for example; if instructions are to cook at 190c for 15 mins, I would suggest setting the temp to 170 and the time to10-12 minutes.
3.8l compartment is more than enough for 1 person although don’t try to cook a whole chicken in it unless it’s a small one.
Really good
IM new to the whole air fryer revolution but I knew one thing, I wanted a Ninja.
Having used their products before the Ninja is up there and consistently held as one of the best.
This is the entry level to their range btu for me is fantastic as it lets me cook my chicken each day with zero fuss and mess and it tastes just as good as if I had pan fried it.
This model has cooking/temp and time controls. And the really reason you should buy this over others, the ceramic crisping plate and the bowl are super easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
I do wish it had a minute minder on it, but it is the entry level model.
If I were to buy again I would probably get the larger version or even the two draw one but on reflection, for its intended purpose it serves me well.
Brilliant air frye
I just love the Ninja air fryer I’ve hardly used my oven since I bought this item. No waiting for the oven to heat up. I just pop food in the fryer, maybe chips in one side and sausages, fish or whatever in the other side. Easy to set up, even if it’s different cooking times. The fryer will hold the shorter cooking time so both are ready at the same time I was worried when I ordered it as I thought it might be complicated but couldn’t be simpler. Thoroughly recommend great buy
Wonder Gadge
I had a tower air fryer which I used a lot, but with my husband, 2 kids and myself, I’ve been meaning to get a larger unit for some time. I finally took the plunge and splurged on the Ninja Foodi dual air fryer, giving me the room to cook more and two seperate items at once. Tonight I did fries in one side and BBQ chicken griddles in the other for my two children which took 15 minutes! The functions are easy to use and are self explanatory, but a helpful manual and booklet gives you illustrated instructions how to use and care for the unit, the best settings and temps to use for various items and a few recipe suggestions at the back. I synced my items so my fries could cook for 20 minutes and the griddles at 15 minutes would start 5 minutes after the fries started cooking to ensure cooking completed at the same time. This is a great function, however I found my fries cooked quicker than expected so I reduced the temp and cooking time. Unfortunately the fries did not hold on this occasion and wait for the griddles to catch up, the sync function only works at the start of the cooking set up and as far as I can see, although the food can be adjusted temp and time wise at any time, it will not resync during the cooking period. I may discover a way to do this with more use, as I only got the unit today and it will take some practice on seeing how long foods take to cook. However the two items cooked to perfection and the unit did what it claimed to do. The crisper and drawers clean easily, I’m very pleased so far!
The most used gadget in my kitche
Would have given 5 stars but for the fact that the compartments don’t seem to work at the same temperature, even if the same temperature and mode is selected one compartment browns the food more than the other. Not a problem generally as I mostly cook two different foods at the same time but it would be an issue if the same type of food needed to be cooked in both compartments. It cooks a lot quicker even than a fan oven.
My conventional oven is these days used for little other than a plate warme
I have been an air-fryer fan since acquiring my first one twelve months ago, and am enthusiastic about the whole process. The one major fault of the previous air-fryer was simply that one could only cook one item/course at a time, which inevitably meant keeping the one item hot in the conventional oven whilst the second course cooked. Not always an effective solution.
Step up the Ninja.
Its major benefit is the two “fryers”. Two courses can effectively be cooked at the same time; the fryer can even be programmed so the two finish at the same moment. Admittedly I have not made great use of this feature as it is easy enough to work out beforehand how long each course will take and commence them cooking accordingly — each drawer can be used completely independently.
And what a range of cooking methods it can cope with; I routinely air-fry, bake and roast, but there are several other methods available. About the only thing one cannot do is anything involving liquids to any degree.
Chips are absolutely wonderful cooked in an air-fryer — crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and as an additional bonus the Ninja has a “max crisp” function, whereby one can maximise the crispness, though one is advised to keep an eye on this during cooking, as it’s easy to go one step beyond crispness!
A very acceptable steak can be cooked in the fryer, and pies and similar are done to perfection. One can even roast a whole (small) chicken. Fresh fish are absolutely wonderful cooked in the fryer, soft and flaky white flesh nicely grilled and browned on the surface.
As each function is selected, the fryer so adjusts the required temperature and cooking time, although these can be (and often are) manually overridden as they may not be quite right for one’s taste. Indeed one can disregard the default settings for each function and manually select the temperature and cooking time to one’s own preference.
The fryer drawers can be opened during cooking which pauses the timer, whilst one turns or “tosses” the food product (essential in some cases and especially with chips), and can be stopped prematurely should the food be cooked earlier than anticipated.
The machine is admirably designed and constructed. I was personally a tad concerned about all the flashy chrome; a flashy exterior can often conceal a less than adequate interior. Not with the Ninja, the machine is robust and strong, the drawers themselves, and especially the “crisper plates” — the raised trays the food sits on, are very robust, something my previous air-fryers’ weren’t.
The only thing I cannot attest to is durability, as I have only had the machine a little less than two months. However it is used every day, and continues to perform splendidly.
My conventional oven is these days used for little other than a plate warmer.
A must have in the kitche
Great air fryer, used it frequently the last 2 weeks and found the dual fry options so useful, easy to clean, doesn’t consume a lot of electricity and the food comes out crispy when needed, the frying units are very spacious too.
Sits nice on my kitchen top with enough space for the air to filter away.
Wife is happy too.
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.
Best Kitchen Gadge
Wanted one for absolutely ages and had to save such a time saver for cooking everything mess is contained, less time spent in the kitchen overall would recommend.
Definitely worth i
Bought this for my mother. She absolutely loves it. She uses it everyday.
Is very good
It easy to
Clean doesn’t take lots time to cook is good stuff with spending money for this good is very good when the meat vegetable come out off the oven EXCELLENT thanks Ruth
Excellent piece of kitchen gadgetry
Still experimenting with the Ninja but so far we’ve done wings, steaks, sausages, and even bacon and eggs. All have been excellent. Baked potatoes and home made wedges are great as are frozen french fries/chips. It’s very easy to use and clean. We’re very very happy with it..
Amazing Ninja
This is an upgrade on the one basket Ninja. We loved the Ninja so much we wanted the 2 basket. Not normally one for kitchen gadgets but this is the best bit of kitchen kit ever. Good for roasting meat, any meat, cooks steak, sausages, chops. Reheats. Crisps. Hardly use our oven now. Ninja is quicker and uses no fat, fat wicks away from cooked food. So, so easy to use.
Don’t put baskets in dishwasher and only use silicone utensils as after 10 months our first one started to get chips in the non stick inside coating.
Love it!!!
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.
Just buy one! You won't regret it!
What’s not to like?? We absolutely love this machine. We were Ninja fans already but this is the best purchase we’ve ever made. We hardly ever use the cooker and oven anymore. And whatever we put in the Ninja comes out tasting absolutely delicious! And with A LOT LESS oil or fat on it, double bonus!
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!
Whole meal in one go!
I bought this even though I’m single and live alone solely for the pure convenience of cooking two things at the same time and having a whole meal ready at one beep! This air-fryer delivers!
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.
Money well spent!
Been pondering for a while to get this product, simply put, its amazing, and so easy and convenient to use, my oven is now redundant, everything cooks so much quicker and nicer may I add. Highly recommended, you won’t be sorry 5 stars
Top Gadget well worth the money
Realy impressed all singing all dancing have cooked all sorts of things wether air frying or roasting works a treat (have only had it for a week) but so far so good
Bigger than I thought the unit would be but it’s so easy to use.
Instructions are very simple and very easy to follow.
Love how easy it is to use you just need a little space around the unit M.
Loving the sync part great having things finishing bat the same time.
Really like the about of control you get from time to heat on both tray’s.
Happy with price poi
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.

Would not be without it.
This is the best piece of kitchen equipment I have purchased in the past few years, Easy to use, and food is beautifully cooked. Handbook give lots of examples for cooking different foods.
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.

Fantastic piece of kitchen kit.
So easy to use and cleaning the components is so quick and easy. The food is cooked to perfection without numerous pans involved and what can I say, every kitchen should have one.
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.
Couldn't be without i
Brought this a few months ago now to replace a previous airfreight. This does something more than air fry. Roasting is great & other things. I honestly believe I would be lost without this. It cooks quickly, evenly and so easy to keep clean.
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!
Great for baking and general cooking
This was an upgrade from an air fryer that had a rotating pan. I did wonder if the fact that this didn’t rotate would be a disadvantage but it wasn’t at all. It cooks more evenly than the old rotating one.
So far I’ve cooked Blueberry Muffins in it, toad in the hole, as well as all the usual stuff. I’ve managed to fit 4 large muffins in at a time.
It bakes very evenly and doesn’t scorch the top of the food if the temperature is set right.
The pan with the attached handle is very ergonomically designed and makes it easy to shake the food mid cook.
It doesn’t give of too much heat and I have mine placed on the worktop underneath the kitchen wall cupboards.
Overall it’s a very useful addition to a kitchen and will save using the oven every which in turn should be more economical. Also great for students without an oven.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice gadge
Nice gadget, can keep veggie stuff separate, cooks evenly and quickly. One drawer has warped a little but it still works with no problems at all. I certainly buy another when needed.
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!
Better than expected.
Had been thinking about air fryer for a while, bought this on Prime special price.
It’s extremely easy to use, and to clean. It’s quick and convenient. Using main oven much less now.
The two drawers are super useful.
For me the shape is better than Tefal AF, takes up less worktop area.
I would recommend this product n particular very highly.
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.
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.
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.
Game changer!
This is a brilliant piece of kit! Looks smart, is well built, easy to use & easy to clean. Very happy and would highly recommend. This is a game changer. Don’t hesitate, buy this
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.
Great produc
Love this air fryer. Cooked wedges, chicken, veg and fish in it so far. Cooked the fish on baking paper which turned out really well. I’ve also done a saucy tomato dish by putting a glass container in there that is suitable for oven cooking.
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.
Love i
Easy to use. Cooks everything perfectly. Is fantastic for baked potatoes, corn on the cob, roasted vegetables etc and also makes amazing fish. Use it most nights and the sync function is an added bonus. Would totally recommend if you have the worktop space to have it out all the time as it’s big and would be a bit of a faf trying to lift it in and out of a cupboard on a regular basis.
Good kit.
Absolutely fabulous bit of kit. Bought as a replacement for a cheap one that was a bit worn out after 5 years regular use and it does the job perfectly. Sync is only situationally useful, most meals I don’t have a use for two baskets but when it is used it works well.
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.
My favourite gadget of the year.
Air frying is the way forward. I have reduced oven use by half and hob use by a quarter. Cleans well in the dish washer as well as by hand. The user needs to follow the cooking instructions in most instances. Don’t forget to shake!
What's not to love
You know when you have been looking into buying a product but wonder if you really will use it or it ends up in a cupboard gathering dust. Well I wish I had bought one years ago. Easy to use, easy to clean. Quality of the cooked food is amazing. And it looks nice too. Highly recommend. It’s a bit big for just 2 of us but when the family arrive its sufficiently big enough to cook plenty for them.
Simply Must Hav
Purchased as a special deal via the prime offer . Having had a Phillips one from the early days I knew what I was purchasing but this beast blows everything out of the water .
Lockdown lunches for my self and the kids have never been simpler . Put food in , sync 2 different trays and before you know it , lunch healthily prepared .
Cook some lamb chops and chicken off in the air fryer and and char on the bbq to finish off , delicious .
Kid friendly , great price , top product- what’s there not to like .
The best kitchen appliance
This is the best kitchen appliance I’ve ever had! Used most days by all the family for cooking anything from fresh chicken and fish to frozen chips. Really easy to use and clean! Just bought one as a gift and the recipient said it’s the best present ever! The only problem is once you have one Ninja you have to buy more!!!!
Love it!!
Love this machine between this and my foodi 7 in 1, I have not used my hob or oven for 3 months when I got my first ninja. Easy to use, easy to clean, cooks food really well.
From chips to chickens (see photo) it is amazing
The Bes
Absolutely brilliant. We have had a variety of air fryers, including the single Ninja (passed on to family member) and this is the best. It is stylish, looks good in the kitchen and cooks to perfection in a fraction of the time of other types of cookers. I love the dual drawer as we have meat eaters and vegetarians in the same house. It’s dual timings and synchronising features are a real bonus. Love it and throughly recommend it.
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.
