- Ive used this machine a few times a day, every day. I really wanted to love it, but practically, it's just not an Air Fryer.
Id say this ISNT and Air Fryer but a "cooker" for when you want to use the Stack function albeit still uneven.
Let me know your thoughts if you've used it.

I bought the same device and tested it.
I have to say that the effect is there, but I can barely notice it. It is definitely less present than what is shown in the video. At least that’s true for the device I have. Overall, I am very happy with it and I will keep it.😊
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for your review of this product. Usually I read customer reviews and watch demonstrations before I decide to purchase or not, but I hastily took the plunge and ordered one from Amazon just three hours ago. Amazon stated that it would be arriving in 3 days time. Then seeing your review and many others on You Tube saying that it does not cook evenly as well as other issues I promptly cancelled my order. The Ninja Dual in your demonstration seems to be the better option.
Phew. Close call!!
The Ninja Dual Zone is excellent. I’ve also got a review of the Cosori Dual Zone coming soon which is also very, very good (and cheaper).
It surprises me that Ninja would release something like this, with so many negatives to it. I think they need to go back to the drawing board with this one!
Agreed.
Tell me the negatives after considering the misuse of the product for this review?
Thank you for a very enlightening review...I was going to purchase one of these, but decided to buy the AF400UK instead,...after seeing this review and the flaws you have so clearly shown with this machine, I'm glad I did..
Good choice 👍🏻 Shame as I really wanted the stack to be good.
I think Ninja will have to make a recall or just cut their losses & take it off the market.
It will be interesting to see.
Huh?
Exactly my finding, cooks at the back first, also cracked my granite worktop from heat, sent mine back.
Gosh, sorry to hear that about your worktop. That’s not good at all!
It does say on the instructions that you have to shake a least 3x….at least. When this is done, it works great. Granted if you’re doing a chicken then you can’t shake. But just lift and turn
Next to a dual zone, I know which one I’d rather use. Wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a revision of the product in the coming months with all the returns.
This is the second review i have read with the exact same issues, think i will stick with my foodi max af400
Good choice! Thank you for the comment.
I have to share this video with hubby as he will be thrilled to know I won't be buying yet another kitchen gadget! 😂 Thank you so much for saving me money! Great, thorough review. Have a lovely day. TFS 👍💖
You are so welcome! Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it.
Again what a fantastic review 👏👌. I can’t believe this passed all the product tests, especially the uneven cooking temperatures! 😯- Thank you for saving us all the headache of having to return it .
I know I feel the same! Glad my video helped. Thank you for commenting.
I wonder if it is because the airflow is coming from the back instead of above like a traditional air fryer. Thank you for showing the condensation issue, it would have definately ruined my counter. Maybe it is just me but the alerter sounds their appliances make are annoying lol. Great video, thank you!
It says right in the included documentation, when cooking proteins, take the rack in the bottom pull it up rotate it 180° and put it back in so that it's in the half-height position and cook your proteins that way. Did you attempt to cook the three sausages in that configuration?
Tried every type in every configuration. My other video was the only success.
There’s a reason this is now 20% off after only a few weeks.
Watched both videos, I will get the Dual and extra shelves. Thank you
Good choice! Hope you enjoy it.
Problem I had with 10 qt. model is buttons are kind of hard to push you really need to bear down. I haven't used it since bought their dual air fryer oven, really like that both ovens air fry and toaster part
Good point!
Very useful thanks! Tempted with the stack purely for the space saving but the negatives far outweigh the positives. Shame. So what's the go-to Air Fryer now then? Still undecided. Ninja Dual Zone or the Ninja FlexDrawer with 'MegaZone'?? Family of 4 slightly favours the latter but the washing up of the whole drawer unit each time is pretty tiresome surely....
Have you seen my video comparing the flex and dual? I prefer the dual personally as i had issues with the flex and shaking food and you are right the cleaning is a bit more challenging. Am also reviewing the cosori next week which has one larger drawer and one smaller, so watch this space.
I love my Cosori single draw . The company’s products are priced well , they cook food lovely and their panels so simple to use and clean . I bet the dual will be just as good. That said, I’m currently eyeing up the ‘Instant VersaZone Dual Air Fryer’ , It comes with XXL Single and Double Air Frying Drawers ( great for cooking whole chickens) . It has great reviews.
Thank you, helped a lot my decision: I am not purchasing this new Ninja though I loved the design.
Glad I could help! I lived the idea too!
Because the heat comes from the back so food at the front takes longer to cook. All other air fryers use overhead fans that pushes out the heat evenly. I suppose you could flip & turn instead of just flipping to help the evenness?
It’s just not good enough is it. It’s been sent back for a refund.
We've just sent ours back too for uneven cooking. We'll be buying a dual.....once Amazon recredit us!
Hope you enjoy your dual once you get your refund shame about the stack, isn’t it?
@@fulloffood yes it is - it’s a very good looking machine; looks can be deceiving! 😂😂😂😂
I found the same issues with sausages, but if you place them lengthways so the air can flow through it works well
Thanks for that. The sausages were there to show the inconsistency on camera easily. If it had been chips filling half the basket then most would be undercooked and there’s no way to stop that.
Thanks for this great review. When I seen this advertise the other week, my thoughts were to the size and of course saving a bit of counter space as I have a small kitchen. But after your review and seeing the draws and where the hot air comes in from the back, which even before you did the cook test I thought this was going to be an issue. So I be sticking with my old Cosori. Again a bit thanks for your great review and so glad I came across it.
Glad I could help! I’m testing a cosori at the moment and it’s great!
@@fulloffood yes it’s very good AirFryer as I said I had no issues with it.
You’re the second person I’ve seen is sending theirs back. Sorry to hear this, I find their products, vacuums includes really cheap feeling. I knew the shaking would be an issue with the grill at the back.
Thank you.
I've send 2 back, first was doa, second was uneven cooking and longer cooking then the dual, no liquids, stupid buttons, realistically didn't notice much space saved either
@@reviewassistant6891wow! It sounds like a failed product for sure.
Sorry ninja you have failed with this product not great I don't blame you for sending it back 👍 I can't see this being a good seller
Another great video, very informative and yep, defo send it back! Thank you for all the info.
Thank you!
Thank you. Was tempted to get on the Air Fryer bandwagon & was tempted by this because of the smaller footprint(width) whilst needing capacity for family of 4. Disappointing
If you are still thinking about an air fryer I’d highly recommend one. We are a family of 5 and I use mine every day.
They have the handle stuck out so much as you put it, is because you will not burn your fingers/hand when you grab it.
They are much large than the other ninjas and I don’t burn myself with them.
Very useful wonder what ninja will do about this major flaw
Good question! I just can’t believe how poor it is.
they should simply make a tripple and quad classic version. also machines should be stackable.
Or just another dual zone, they seem to work
I had this for 2 days and sold it had all the same issues gone back to my dual too great video
Shame isn’t it. Had high hopes for it
It is a real shame I did to but it's great you ve done an honest review for others
Uneven sausages were the last straw for me as well!
Totally agree.
Give me a break - have you ever heard of shaking the basket? A common and absolutely necessary step in air fryer cooking.
Can't defend a crap product
Yes we've bought one. Same issues. Not impressed. Already got the returns authorisation from Ninja to get our money back. It's just badly designed. Looks like we'll have to do without an airfryer as this was perfect for the space we had available in our kitchen 😞
Sorrry to hear that. If you can fit in a dual they are really good.
@@fulloffood unfortunately we can't fit it in. We just don't have the space which is why the Double Stack XL was perfect. Back to the drawing board 😞 Great videos on this unit BTW
Brilliant video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment it means a lot.
Thanks for an amazing, honest and thorough review. I’ve bought air fryers to relatives recently (helped them choose) and also bought a new one for myself. So I’m really into AF reviews and was excited to learn more about the new Double Stack. Sad to learn it’s almost worthless, especially since Ninja makes so many great innovative machines otherwise.
OK. I got a Ninja Speedi for myself since I wanted the possibility to cook rice, potatoes and wet stuff like gratin and stews in the bottom and proteins on top at the same time. For me it has worked great. And I wanted to slow cook more easily. Right now I’ve been doing a broth for like 16 hours, worked well.
Going to see if you’ve reviewed the Speedi but I’m a little bit afraid since you’re so thorough and honest, not like the over enthusiastic reviews I saw on forehand 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your comment. So pleased you enjoyed the review. I haven’t done the Speedi yet but I hear great things about it. I used to have a Smartlid which did a lot more cooking styles too and loved it.
I was about to get this because i needed to save horizontal space in my countertop. You saved me the headache thank you. Looks like ill have to wait for the 2nd generation of this
Glad to help. Hopefully the next version will be improved.
Second video I have seen from people I follow saying same thing and was sending his back too
Thanks for your comment.
my first ninja air fryer and its going back same as you said does not cook evenly
Such a shame.
I didn’t know you could send back if you didn’t like it. I am looking to buy my first air fryer
I don’t like it because it’s not for purpose. Sending it back as it doesn’t work. Shame isn’t it.
Funny thats what i got rid of the side by side one😥
Oh no!
This is what I expected and why I didn’t get it , I don’t even think it’s very practical to fill in and move ect
What baffles me in your reviews is how the front if more cooked knowing the fan is at the back it just doesn’t make sense
It makes perfect sense. Hot air is blown in from the back, and hits the front wall. this is the hottest part, where the air is being stopped by the front side for the drawer. Hence the better cooked sausages at the front of the unit. The front wall is creating a turbulence of hot air, at the front.
Having the air come from the top (on the dual model) is the better design, as the bottom of the crisper plate is getting the hottest of the air.
I know I wonder if the fan must blow the heat forward and it reflects off the front of the drawer and so makes the front hotter. It’s basically a mini fan oven.
@@rdalcroft3934 I just received the US dual stack model and put the crisper tray in the upper position as suggested by the instruction manual and air fried hotdogs. They browned up evenly and quickly. I still have more testing to do but so far I have not had any issues.
@@bahamabreeze1338 the upper drawer must have a more even flow then? Good to know. Thanks!
@@rdalcroft3934 I didn't use the upper drawer only the lower drawer but raised the crisper tray to the upper position in the basket.
Seems like everyone is having this problem, I’ll look for something else
Yeah. It’s a real problem for them
Bad design can't see this being a good seller ninja have failed with this product in my opinion I don't blame you for sending it back it isn't worth the money so many design faults
I agree £270 is a lot.
