Such a pain/ they need to rethink design.
Thank you.
Awesome instructions. I am going to try this. Also, wonderful fall decor😊
This video made me feel a lot better about not giving a crap about how dirty it is. I have the double one and man impossible to clean
Haha. I’m so glad I could relieve you of that pressure by showing you how dirty mine is. ;)
Crumb tray, put a piece of aluminum foil (heavy duty) never have to clean it again just replace as needed.
I have used this new toaster air fryer oven for the past few months. My problem is when I broil it will only broil low, not high. Any suggestions on how to fix this? The dial does not seem to function.. however it works for everything else.
Sorry to hear that. I am an appliance user not fixer. :(. I hope you figure it out or can exchange for new.
TY for well presented bacon bake, brown sugar probably the cause of the burnt ends. I am just learning to use my new Costco Ninja foodi digital pro air fry oven and bacon was on top of the list.🥓🥓🥓
Glad to be of help, it's tricky to get used to a new oven!
So cute!
I love this air fryer. We just got it as an early Christmas present and it warms up to 450 in 56 seconds. 👀
isn't that great?!
You’re a truly artist 😍
Thank you
Wonderful.
Thank you for watching!
Nice job Len
thanks!
So, the cooking a steak may take 10 mins, and cleaning the darn thing .... 30 mins. But I still use my Ninja. There's no free lunch, the time saver sometimes takes more time, than a regular oven.
A paste of baking soda, warm water, and a tiny tiny bit of soap with a soft toothbrush did the trick for me!
Glad that worked for you. thanks for commenting

Not crispy. Not for me.
one can cook longer to get it crispier. ;)
I love her!
We do too!
I bought one at goodwill and it is covered with baked on grease. The crumb tray is stuck. Anyway to get under the food tray to pry it loose
perhaps a thin offset spatula can be shoved under it to break it loose? Good luck.
You don't even know how much this informative video just changed my whole outlook on my upcoming trip! And my experience is now going to be a million times better. I was so worried and stressed, and by watching your video, I found all the resources I need to be able to book what I need to and will actually be able to ENJOY my birthday trip next week!! Thank you so much!!!
Wonderful. I hope you have a great time!
@MrAndMrsBanks Thank you so much! What was your experience with the pickup times for Mears? I called and the lady said to call the night before but to schedule it an hour and a half in advance from the time I actually want to be picked up. Just curious if that is how it was for you. I'm worried they will pick me up too early or possibly too late
@@brittanyrowland6534 We haven't used the Mears in a very long time, so I don't recall and wouldn't count on our experience. However, they are professionals and know what they are doing. So when they give you a time range for pick up I am certain they will be there. Reputable company.
Looking at replacing 4 fans, and saw some smart Hunter Fans on clearance. My thought was to order the Hunter Universal Fan-Light Wall Control (Receiver Not Included) - 99815 from their website to replace the physical light switch itself. That appears to be a wired IR remote (paired), just like the remote (paired) that comes with it. That way you can use the Hunter app, smart home app, IR remote, or wall plate "remote." Did you happen to look into that as a solution, or was that also not something that worked. Also concerned with making it dummy proof for anyone who is in the room. Don't like people breaking my routines, and neither does Miss G.
I wonder how spraying vinegar water mixture in and heating it for a bit would work. That's how we used to clean our microwaves in the restaurant
Probably would work a bit. Depends I suppose on how far one lets it go. ;) Hey thanks for watching and commenting!!!
That looks incredible!!! Hope you all had so much fun!! :-))
We did! Thanks so much. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!!!
The Costco version does not have the rear access.
Oh Really? I thought it was the first model still. Will have to look. Thanks for letting me know. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!!!
It has to do with the per heating to reach the temperature so you can see when points done😊
Play list love this
Hey thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting!!!
Disney is NOT disability friendly anymore. They have changed ALL the DAS requirements to for Autism or spectrum only now. I used to go to the parks all the time with my sister and with our ECVs but NO longer 😢
We were just there and you are correct the official DAS system has been severely modified. But they still do well to accommodated ECVs. It depends on the ride. Some rides they make you transfer to a wheel chair they provide as they are concerned if an emergency happened one could not turn back around to evacuate. If you don't have someone in your party who is able to push, they have told us they will. Some rides, they let you come in through the exit of the ride. So no significant change. There has been a lot of negative responses to the Das changes but again the actual impact for scooter users remains accommodating. So I hope you will give it a try again.
Just wire the fan direct and bypass the switch!
I could, but I don't want to do anything that wouldn't make sense to next owners. Don't plan to move anytime, but all changes keep that in mind. I replaced all my switches with the decora style. Mostly smart throughout the house, but for these fans, just used standard ones and then put some magnet covers over them so they don't accidentally get turned off. It works.
Personally I wouldn’t recommend this air fryer to anyone interested. This model is so difficult to clean, it makes it 100% not worth it for me…
Agree it is difficult, BUT I don't think any oven is a joy to clean, so for us the benefits outweigh the difficulty. But I'm glad you watched and commented!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was worried how my mom would be able to get around on this island.
You're welcome. I hope you all will be able to enjoy it!
Nice ❤
Thanks
Great Review..im so tempted to purchase this...Can you just reheat food,I tend to batch cook
Yes. Works better than a microwave for things that need a crisp.
bravo !!
This is the only downfall of this oven if you use it for actual cooking
When you turn the oven up to 500° all you did was bake everything on a lot more permanent. What you should’ve done is put a tray of water and maybe do the same temperature and leave it in there for about 12:30 hour you’ll find that it will all just break down and then you can clean it up.
Be bought a Foodi a month ago and this is by far the best way to make bacon.
I think we agree!
I have one, but it doesn't toast worth a damn. I have it set at 450 degrees for 6 minutes and the bread (sour dough) comes out pale white.
If you are setting a temp you might be baking instead of toasting. The toast mode has you set the shade level and number of slices. Check to make sure you’re using that setting
I have been wanting to do something like this for awhile that’s better for the eco system rather than having a water guzzling lawn
yes! and the more native a plant is the better suited to handle the rain cycles of your area. But again, the challenge is also to set it into your neighborhood so that is doesn't stick out too badly. ;)
There isn't a bad bone in a cavaliers body...velcro dogs
Yup! I just learned that term, Velcro dog. Waffles is certainly that.
Sorry but the turning the wall switch off is a lame problem. Using clear tape is a reasonable solution. Does Hunter have a remote wall switch? If they do its definitely your solution. Did you try connecting to Alexa? Apple is not known for spending resources on their apps! I tried connecting my lights to Apple Home and ran into the same issues youre having with multiple fans. Also, I stopped using Apple Home due to it losing connections to several different utilities. Hunter has its own phone app how is that working? You have to diverse if you’re serious about having a Smart Home!
Well, Apple home works just fine and the fans also are now working well too. And you are right that in all of life, making sure light switches remain on is not a big deal. BUT as for a smart home product, that is not so smart of a design. Choosing where the smart features reside is a filter I didn't investigate well enough. Smart switches and dumb fan is a far better set up.
@@MrAndMrsBanks once again, as others have advised, its all about the power control switch! You’re given 3 options but the one you’re looking has to be a wall remote switch. Minka Aire has one and it works great (unfortunately the loud hum of fan was a deal breaker). The switch allows the fan to be off yet still can still be remotely controlled.
@@richardb7093 Hey thanks for watching and engaging. I'm not sure we are all that far off on our conclusions. However, this is a review of the Hunter smart fan. Having a different brand fan is not my solution as I already had purchased this one. So I have to figure out the best way to use this one. And so, the light switches are left on at all times (or I need to hard wire them and put a plate over the boxes). If I had to do it all over again I would get the Lutron Caseta switches and a dumb fan. The Caseta switch is in effect, as you state, a wall remote, however, unlike a remote it can be added to the voice activation of any version of a smart home. So again, unless I am missing something, we are essentially saying the same thing. yes?
@@MrAndMrsBanks Nothing is perfect. The Caseta requires a hub and the Hunter wall switch remote requires a battery. A battery!! Should win the WTF Design award…Is the fan quite? Does it meet your fanning requirements? As of now its my 1st choice after installing and returning 2 MenkaAires due to noise..
@@richardb7093 Hey! I feel the fans are quiet. I like it well enough and happy with the fan itself aside from the smart home concerns. But nothing is perfectly without the 'white noise' and we like that. So you might feel otherwise.
I really like the natural look, as well, and it’s extra cool when it fills up with water! I was going to ask if you had any feedback from your neighbors, but then you covered that towards the end.
My immediate neighbors all really like it. Especially one across the street who gets to look at all the time.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
We've been using Scooter Bug for years now and as of last year, we're now dueling scooters. Old age sucks!
We've done that too and it does, at least in terms of mobility. ;)
Good Job 👍🏻
Thanks!
The light when out in ours. Is there a way to replace the bulb?
I have not tried or even looked. I would think it uses a standard option. However, the Ninja site doesn’t sell one in the parts and accessories
I made the mistake of buying top-of-the-line Simple Connect. My fans came with wall controls and not remote controls. Guess what the manual Does NOT Cover? Wall Controls for DC Fans and Simple connect... The most expensive fan and they couldn't update their manual to be specific. That's lousy management and lousy leadership.
I'm sorry.
Dude, yours is so clean compared to mine. I think the bottom of my toaster is worse than that. My kids put everything in there. I’m using Easy Off on mine.
good luck.
So mine isn’t super dirty but my heating elements got dirty. My hubby put wings in and they dripped all over the heating elements. Any advice for that? I scrubbed it a bit with a damp towel but idk what else to do.
I try never to touch them so honestly no idea. But for future reference put black tray in under rack or basket when dealing with items that would drip
I am wondering the same. I forgot to put the pan under the rack and grease dripped onto the cooking element 😭
Gross.
What is? Having to clean or how duty my oven was? Lol. Either way you’re not wrong. Thanks for watching!
You can cover the crumb tray with foil, thats what I've done. Ninja official FAQs say you can use foil. That'll take care of 1 of the 6 sides - best of luck with the other 5! 😅
Yes you can use foil inside. However Ninja Customer Support FAQ specifically states it shouldn't be put on the crumb tray. Don't take my word for it. Look it up, for yourself. Quote: Ninja Customer Support: "Yes. Use aluminum foil on the SearPlate or wire rack for easy cleaning after cooking. Make sure the aluminum is not touching the top heating elements. *Do not wrap the crumb tray in aluminum foil* ."
Sir how I order parchment paper from you for this?
Thanks for doing this. Go to www.amazon.com/shop/lenbanks and in the section of kitchen products, you will find the parchment.
