Just love i
I Resisted getting an air fryer to buck the trend but now can’t live without it, it fills the gap between having to use a fryer or oven for me. It’s been carefully designed in that it’s easy to use once you get the concept and it’s produced the best chicken I have ever tasted! Just need to expand on some of the capabilities of it, that on my own “to do” lis
A useful addition to the kitche
I bought the Air Fryer at a special offer price which was a good saving. As I purchased it as a home warming present for a family member, I haven’t used it, however the person that the gift is for has previously used the same model and loves it. My daughter in law has also purchased one and is very pleased with it. A useful addition to the kitche
Excellent quality air fryer. But Big!
I really like this air fryer. It appears to cook the food much quicker than my smaller ninja air fryer which is nice, just need to remember to check the food while it’s cooking! The downside is that the drawer is big and a little heavy and bulky to clean. But it’s more than compensated by the fact I can do a medium size roast chicken with vegetables in one ninja. It’s relatively easy to use but I am an experienced ninja user, having had a few in the kitchen prior.
excellent buy
good size, easy to use. Bought the air fryer liners with it so it is easy to clean. Is a bit bulky on the worktop but if you have a family, this is the go to cooking item. We had a cheaper version that was before the air fryer craze which just had one bit drawer but this one is better as you can cook multiple things at the same time.
Great inventio
Brought during Amazon Prime Day, although had issue with delivery as it went missing, did select to come in plain box as was concerned being expensive. When driver arrived he tried to make out it wasn’t on the van so be careful when ordering. Looks good, still learning the controls, some food takes longer than stated in recipe book that comes with it. Easy to clean we brought the liners to help with washing. Functions are easy to follow but still need the book. Quality could be better as sounds plastic when pushing the draws in and out.
Good buy
Very pleased with it so far. Follow the instructions and pull out the drawers every now and then during cooking to move the food about by shaking the drawers. Does lovely chips. Bakes a pretty large potato from scratch in about 50 minutes at 200 degrees. So far I’ve only tried it on air fry.
A big advantage is that the drawers are so easy to clean, just pull them out, bin any fat or lumpy bits, give them a wipe round with some kitchen towel, and hand wash them. Job done.
I love the Ninja air fryer with the capability to cook in separate zones. I also bought 3 silicone tray liners on Amazon ( one per each of the two zones and a larger one to use the single megazone). The quality of the silicone is excellent and it does not become soft after a few uses like cheaper liners that I have bought in the past. My liners are as good as the day I started using them. The silicone makes the clean up so simple by just giving them a quick wipe or if you prefer, you can use the dish washer. Well worth the small price I paid for them.
Bought this Ninja air fryer as our kitchen oven we’ve owned for more than 8 years & functioning, decided to pack-up as we desperately tried to cook dinner for the kids one evening. We decided to give the Air fryers a go, and as it arrived the following day we started using it straight away. A decent size for a kitchen work top, although you might need more space if you have a smaller kitchen.
Very easy to operate and settings are easy to understand. Was a bit tricky at first trying to figure what settings to use and cook or air fry certain meals, especially if they’re not listed in the quick guide booklet / manual. But once you get used to doing the normal foods daily (e.g fries, salmon, etc), you won’t have to repeatedly refer to the cooking charts manual/ quick guide all the time. If this isn’t an issue, then the air fryer is definitely worth having and a good addition to the kitchen. The cast metal plates are easy to clean in case food spills or gets stuck on them while cooking.
The hype is real
I was reluctant to join the crowd on this one. I have to say I’m converted and it’s my daily use now. Plenty room for food. I personally use to prep my meals for the next few days and get 3 chicken breasts in each tray, which takes about 18-20mins. I’d recommend a meat probe to go with in case they need a couple extra mins. I haven’t overcooked the chicken yet and have delicious juicy chicken most days. The kids prefer the chips and sausages made in here too and I have to say so do I. Cooking is made much easier.
The device itself is easy to use and clean . I found the guide book it comes with useful too. It is quite big so make sure you have the space but other than that great bit of kit.
If you’re on the fence about getting one I’d recommend taking the plunge.
Don't know why I waited soo long.
I researched for ages about first whether to buy one then which make and model to buy. Think I made the right choice. There are only 2 of us but hubby has a big appetite and we often eat different things so I went with the Megazone so had best of both worlds – two smaller zones that work independently or one big zone. I have to say I love my Ninja Megazone and have barely used my oven since I got it. Haven’t even had a major fail with a recipe yet. Do keep an eye on it, it cooks quicker than you think. Can’t recommend it high enough and extremely easy to use. I also bought the silicone trays to go inside so I just have to wash the trays and not the whole drawer, which would be a bit of a pain. Also bought the rack so you can fit more in or just drain fat off.
OMG the crackling!!!
I love this – have been looking for a two drawer for ages but it annoyed me that the two drawer ones mean you can’t usually roast a large whole chicken – so this one is perfect as I can take out the central separator and have the best of both worlds. It works really well – so pleased upgraded. I did a normal roast pork on the oven – and the cracking went wrong so I threw it in the air fryer on max crisp for 5 mins! Wow! Amazing! Crackled it up like popcorn!!!
5 star produc
I bought this due to the bike discount price and was not disappointed, it is very well made with a quality finish, I didn’t think I needed an air fryer as I have an excellent oven but was mistaken, this cooks my usual staple meals in half the time and what an upgrade to the chips/roast potatoes much more crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside (for me it was worth the price for that alone) I recently did a whole chicken and trimmings in one go no problem due to different cooking functions, split times/heat level etc
A highly recommended produc
Ninja air frye
This air fryer is very good. The two sections enable you to could different things. When you remove the middle section this enables you to cook a whole chicken. Very good and easy to use.
I bought this after researching which air fryer would best meet my requirements, and got it when it was 20% off. I am SO pleased with it. It cooks brilliantly, roast chicken and lamb, chips and roast potatoes, tray bakes, quiche, proving dough. I love the flexibility of the drawer, with the removable divider. It’s very easy to clean and not too noisy when cooking. The controls are simple to understand and I’m hoping to see a drop in my electricity bill as I rarely use my oven now. All in all a great buy!
I had a tefal air fryer with one draw and was quite happy, but I was getting fed up with only being able to cook one thing at a time hence still using my oven too. Been putting off getting a larger air fryer because I couldn’t decide which one, I was weighing up the advantages of the stacker to save space, after months of indecision I went for the dual zone, which was delivered the next day, and now I just can’t believe I waited so long. Complete game changer, well made, looks smart, surprisingly doesn’t take up as much room on work surface as I feared, very quiet, doesn’t get too hot. And, best of allit cooks beautifully, everything moist, crisp and delicious. The sync function is great, it means that you can use 2 drawer of completely different food at the same time, and they finish together and the end result is perfect. My sister in law has the same one and loves it. Quite honestly there isn’t anything not to love, also it just wipes clean! My old one is outside on the pavement with a note on it “perfect working order help yourself “. Love love love i
I’ve always had an air fryer as I find they cook chips better than an oven, my old Tefal Actifry left a lot to be desired as it would constantly squish anything that wasn’t a chip.
My old air fryer was starting to show its age with the nonstick coating starting to scratch and the discoloured plastic so it needed to be replaced.
At first I was sceptical at paying nearly 200 for something that would effectively be used to cook chips however after a fair bit of research I decided to bite the bullet and order the Ninja.
The first feature I like about this air fryer is the dual zones allow me to cook two meals separately, not only that but both zones are physically separated from one another meaning I can cook meat in one half and cook a meal for my partner who is meat free in the second compartment.
This leads into my second favourite feature, the “sync” option, it’s unbelievably convenient to be able to cook two separate items with different cook times and have them finish at the same time.
Speaking of cook times, this air fryer is a record breaker, so far everything I have cooked has been for roughly half the recommended times, I.e. chips in my old air fryer were 18-20 minutes, in the Ninja 9 minutes is plenty.
Max crisp is also a highly recommended feature, for example using this setting I have cooked battered onion rings to a level that would rival a deep fat fryer with this mode.
I have experienced a few occasions of soggy food, however I’ve put this down to user error by not allowing room for air flow between food items or shaking the drawers halfway through cooking like recommended.
One accessory I have found invaluable for this has been a digital temperature probe, mainly due to the fact it cooks so fast it helps to have a way to verify the internal temperature, I.e. I had cooked some burgers that on the outside looked perfect, however their internal temperature was lower than expected.
Physically the footprint of the fryer is small compared to competitors offers and to be honest it doesn’t look terrible left out on the worktop. One point I would like to note is during max crisp I have noticed a large amount of condensation on the wall behind the fryer, this may factor into its location.
During operation the fryer makes a reasonable amount of noise, not loud enough to warrant shutting the door to hear the tv but loud enough for you to know it’s there, I’ve recorded one drawer operating at around 62 decibels which according to Google is the volume of a normal conversation.
I think at some point in the future it would be handy to invest in some accessories such as the silicone liners, just to make cleaning that little bit easier. Speaking of accessories I have found tongs to be a must-have for this air fryer to safely remove large items from the drawers, tipping food out is also an option but any oil/grease that has pooled in the bottom will end up on your plate too.
In summary the performance of this air fryer is, in my opinion, unrivalled for the average household, it cooks everything I have thrown at it to perfection and has nearly made my oven redundant.
There’s loads to like.
It is easy to use, no matter if you are using the whole cavity, or half, or even using the two sections at different temperatures.
It is pretty easy to clean, sometimes the plates need a soak and bits can get stuck in the grooves and holes but its not difficult to get them shining like new.
I’m sure it’s saved money as it really is enough oven for two people and I have rarely turned the main oven on since it arrived five month ago. It takes a little getting used too as often things need a lower temperature and a shorter cooking time, but trial and error and making adjustments as you go gives you a feel for things.
My main issue with it is with chips and roast potatoes. I used to have a Phillips airfryer (gave it away when I got this sadly) which cooked chips and roast potatoes perfectly every time – although I used it for little else. Now, whilst I find this more flexible mainly because of its size and accessibility to the drawer, I can not for the life of me get a decent chip or roastie out of it, and believe me I have tried. I’ve tried making my own from scratch (par boiling, not par boiling, soaking and drying and tossing in oil), I’ve tried frozen fat ones, thin ones, crinkle cut, lattice cut and even the ones made specifically for air fryers, I’ve reduced the temperature, increased the temperature, reduced and increased the cooking time, air fried and maxi crisped. They always come out looking amazing but by the time they are on the plates they have lost the crispness. I never had this issue with my Phillips and I can not fathom why this should be different. Not sure if the middle of the chip/potato gets too hot and it is condensation; but whatever the cause I seem unable to produce crispy chips or roasties using this – otherwise – amazing machine.
The air fryer is easy to use and works well!
I was worried it take up too much bench space and look out of place, it doesn’t. It works very well in my kitchen.
Large capacity baskets and the big ‘flexi-drawer’ are super for cooking larger quantities of food. I’ve read that people say it isn’t easy to shake the drawer to reposition food – chips – I don’t find this a problem and a pair of tongs is great for retrieving the cooked food from the drawer.
I also use the ‘Bake’ option quite a lot and the large drawer saves me having to use my main oven as frequently. You do have to consider the size of baking tins and trays to make sure they fit in the drawer but this hasn’t been a problem for me.
A good investment as it saves time and money. Pleased that we bought a model with sufficient capacity. Recommend
