This was my second air fryer th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . The last one worked fine but was large and a bit loud. This one is outstanding. It is smaller overall but still has plenty of capacity. It crisps the food better. You don't get one side soggy if you forget to turn it over. It is pretty quiet, easy to use, easy to clean, and works great. It chimes to alert you to functions, like when to turn over food that benefits from that. The automatic pre-heat is great. The display is large and easy to read, the light inside is actually useful. The window is worth the extra $10. It looks good sitting out on my counter. I haven't been this happy with an appliance for a long time. Good value for money.
It may have something to do with syncing the two zones, my ninja doesn't stop when removing the basket. I'll try to contact the manufacturer, if this depends on the particular model or iteration of the airfryer, then I'll update (or remove) this part of the video. Thanks for highlighting this.
Yeah, this one we got it’s the ‘Amazon’s special edition’, technically it supposed to be identical in terms of functionality and features, just different ‘bronze’ trim
Great vid. I have one. I noticed the European version has upward firing heat exhaust ports in the back. I'm in North America, and these ports exhaust directly backward. I prefer the European design.

Good spot! It is cosori's basket indeed, hope this isn't misleading in any way. We use both of these at home, ninja and cosori, both having same teflon layer coating but obviously different shape (for me they still look the same:). Kind regards Adam
That's a very good point. Yes, if the teflon coating gets damaged in any way, there's a risk the teflon gets into the food, and that's potentially dangerous. Same as with teflon pans. That's why the basket inserts having the rubbers fitted into the corners to eliminate the damage to the coating.
@@FamilyPopTV Teflon is no problem at all at those temperatures and higher temperatures that could cause potential health issues is not being nearly reached. The Teflon leaves your body untouched. Those are myths. A Teflon pan is basically only dangerous for the health during the production process.
How are you finding this airfryer? I just replaced my faulty breville air fryer oven with one 9f these but it doesn't come till next week. I'm frantically looking for a better one incised this isn't great lol. Im sure it is but as a family of 6 we need a large capacity one. I was looking at the instant pot versa dual, where it can be used as one huge basket and can use a divider to create 2x baskets, but it looks a lot more cheaply made to me.
Hi, great vid! - I’ve just got the copper Amazon exclusive. I just want to check that when plugged in at the mains, even though the machine is off - are the sync / match and the cooking settings meant to be lit up? Not sure if mine’s faulty
I've just bought one and I can't figure out how to cook in one basket (zone 1) on its own. I've read the manual, googled and can't figure it out. Every time I cook on one zone the other zone cooks at the same time with nothing in it.
I jus bought it. Do I need to run it empty fir 19 minutes, what temperature? Do I need to season it with oil and run it for 5 minutes empty as well or no need?
Hi there! My apologies for myalte reply, and congrats on your new Ninja Air Fryer. To answer your questions, yes, it's recommended to run the air fryer empty for 5-10 minutes before you use it for the first time. (It helps to burn off any manufacturing residue and get rid of any strange smells). You can set the temperature to anything between 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit.
I'm confused. Some of the video clips you showed have beautiful looking crispy chips. On other's they're worse than terrible. They're not all your own clips?
Cool! We're 'addicted' from our ninja, haha. We recently purchased a smaller version and drafted a new review video that we'll be sharing soon. In the meantime, if you have a few minutes, please check it out here: th-cam.com/video/y6DeeYuAjCU/w-d-xo.html btw. we're also super excited as we ordered the new Ninja air grill. Hope its worth the hype..We'll be sure to post a video about it once we've had a chance to test it out:) Thanks for the comment and have a good day!
I have never tried this myself, but I have seen a few people online who have done it (while researching for this review). So, yes, technically you can cook a stew in a Ninja air fryer once you remove the grate. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: - do not overfill the basket - and monitor the stew while it is cooking and stir it frequently. Otherwise, it may easily burn, as it cooks quickly with dry air. (Don't go too high with the temperature.) I apologize that I cannot be of more help. It may be a bit of a trial and error process, but it is certainly doable. I am currently testing a single-basket Ninja and preparing a review video. I may try cooking a stew and show it in the video. Let me know how it goes.
Hi. The ninja foodi max surely can fit a 2kg-2.2kg chicken, It has a total capacity of 9.5 liters (around 10 quarts), which is divided into two 4.75 liter drawers. We've been cooking a corn fed chicken which was around 2kg, and it fits easily, so my guess, 2.2kg shouldnt be a problem. Hope it helps.
@@chrisostomosprodromou4784 No, you don't have to chop it, it'll fit. Today we got a small ninja (5.2L) delivered, so I'll be actually tempted to include cooking the whole chicken in this thing to the review. btw. I've seen a video on TH-cam, some bloke been cooking two whole chicken at once, obviously in two baskets simultaneously. I wouldn't really recommend it only because it will be a tight fit, and the chickens may not cook evenly. You may check it out: th-cam.com/video/YrHm_y96ZIM/w-d-xo.html
Hi. These are basically the same ninjas (af400uk is the one in the video, with 9.5L capacity, which is 10Qt). The only difference is the detachable 'smart cook thermometer' in dz550. Also the one in the video is the 'amazon limited edition' and has bronze finish. Personally, I see some value in that smartcook thermometer, as it makes perfect sense to have it when cooking whole chicken of big chunks of raw meat
I've never had that issue. To make sure it won't happen, double check if you got an outlet with 15A circuit breaker (especially if other appliances are plugged into the same circuit). However, in case the ninja would cause the breaker to trip for some reason (very unlikely though), it may indicate the unit is faulty, so then customer service would be the option.
Hi. There are few versions with slightly different basket sizes (and obviously capacities), as far as I'm aware. We got smaller now at the moment (still boxed, waiting for a video)...

What is wrong with you??!! Have you never heard anyone talk with an accent other than American before? Obviously english is not his first language. Sheesh!!! 🤷♀🤷♀
Sorry, I was trying so hard to be nice about this video but he contradicts himself constantly and keeps showing different air fryer baskets throughout his video. The ninja does not need to be paused when opening a basket whether it is on sync, match or totally using the baskets separately without using the above options, also, using both baskets does not extend the cooking time, I mean wtf 🤷🏻♀️. I have a ninja dual zone, it’s no harder to learn to use than any other air fryer, they all have instructions and guidelines but at the end of the day it depends on what you want to cook and you will learn the best times & temps whether you have a ninja or a different brand of air fryer.

I think you are incorrect. The airfryer pauses when you pull the basket out mid cook to shake, and starts again when you push back in.
It may have something to do with syncing the two zones, my ninja doesn't stop when removing the basket. I'll try to contact the manufacturer, if this depends on the particular model or iteration of the airfryer, then I'll update (or remove) this part of the video. Thanks for highlighting this.
@@FamilyPopTV I did notice that your version had a bronze trim. Mine is plain silver. Maybe it has a different spec?
Yes, this is Amazon limited edition,
It would be worth to check other models.

I'm guessing it would be an absolute mess with all the splattering. Best using a ninja foodi with the pressure cooker.
what size chicken can you cook in this product. Can it take a large 2.2kg chicken?
Hi. The ninja foodi max surely can fit a 2kg-2.2kg chicken, It has a total capacity of 9.5 liters (around 10 quarts), which is divided into two 4.75 liter drawers.

People say that when you use both sides, the temp drops by half so it takes to 2x as long to cook food. True? Reviews from Costco version.
Is it worth it just buying the ninja dz550 instead of this one?
Hi. These are basically the same ninjas (af400uk is the one in the video, with 9.5L capacity, which is 10Qt). The only difference is the detachable 'smart cook thermometer' in dz550.
