"makkelijk schoon te maken"
"clean up is a breeze. ... Quick wipe of the oven and door and Dawn power wash for the basket and catch tray though dish soap is probably fine too."

"I like my Ninja oven and air fryer combo for its versatility ... plus the results I'm getting on everything coming out of it are outstanding imo. ... Roasted a whole stuffed chicken last week as well as cooking scratch made pizza. Outstanding!!"
"each basket has a wire rack to basically make 4 cooking surfaces, too. (2 per drawer/basket - top rack being more crispy foods) ... I love that each basket/drawer comes with a separate rack that sits half way in the basket making 4 areas to cook on. ... the top rack in each drawer is the "crispier" foods rack"
"it's almost replaced out oven for anything baked or roasted."

"burns the food and cooks unevenly ... absolute waste of money"
"it's un predictable as well as to where will and won't be cooked. ... Not impressed with mine ."
"As you mentioned, the rear placement of the fans and heating elements does lead to very uneven cooking (food closest to the back gets cooked much faster)."

"it takes much longer regardless than a traditional air fryer. ... 40 mins to cook my potatoes... usually takes 20."
"The top basket cooks much faster than the bottom even when the “double stack” and “match cook” buttons are chosen."
"it seems the top one cooks faster...."
We love the ninja 12 in 1. We never use our full size oven. Air fries, bakes pizza, deserts, it's honestly flawless. Bake and air fry at the same time. Even replaced our toaster https://www.target.com/p/ninja-1800w-double-stack-xl-countertop-toaster-oven-and-air-fryer-with-smartfinish-38-dualzone-technology-stainless-steel-finish-dct601/-/A-91722292
r/airfryer • Air fryer toaster oven recommendations! ->The ninja went on a double sale (I guess?) right now so we bought it. $278 CAD We often cook meat and vegetables so I think the dual oven style will work great for us. We may consider a small air fryer in the future for small stuff though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I ended up buying the ninja Dual Door 12-1. When I went back and looked it was a further $40 off from the already on sale price so it was a no brainer.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I used it last night. Love it! It's so much quieter than my last air fryer. One thing I noticed is the top isn't an air fryer. If I had been paying attention I would have noticed this! It's more of a toaster oven. It did heat up quick!
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->The top doesn't air fry. It's just a toaster oven. The bottom oven is the air fryer. I thought both would have a fan.. it's not a big deal though.
r/airfryer • Buying new appliances, should I get a dedicated air fryer and/or countertop oven? ->I have the Ninja DCT401 12-in-1 Double Oven and use it frequently. It does have two sections but they do different things. I rarely use both at the same time; usually I’m either baking on the top or air frying on the bottom.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->I have the Ninja 12-in-one. I use the regular oven when whatever I’m cooking is too big for the ninja.
r/cookingforbeginners • Can an airfryer completely replace an oven? ->Never had an air fryer before last fall. I bought the Ninja double oven as it was on for half price and my friend loves hers. I don’t make super greasy food though, and clean up is a breeze. Quick wipe of the oven and door and Dawn power wash for the basket and catch tray though dish soap is probably fine too. Works great for me.
r/airfryer • Thoughts on the toaster oven style air fryer? ->Ninja Double Oven. It has vents on the side of the unit instead of the top and fits comfortably on my countertop under my upper cabinets
r/Cooking • Best value Air fryer that is able to cook 2 things at once ->I purchased one for my daughter hers is exactly the same burns the food and cooks unevenly, ninja needs to take responsibility absolute waste of money
r/airfryer • Ninja Double Stack XL — don’t buy it ->I agree, it's un predictable as well as to where will and won't be cooked. Not impressed with mine .
r/airfryer • Ninja Double Stack XL — don’t buy it ->The food isn't raw on one side and cooked on the other even when I don't move stuff around. It may be less browned, but raw is bs. I have a dual stack and I like it a lot. It's my 3rd air fryer, so I have used others.
r/airfryer • Ninja Double Stack XL — don’t buy it ->I personally really like it and it's almost replaced out oven for anything baked or roasted. All air fryers require some messing with the food to achieve equal cooking. I don't see any cosmetic issues with mine. I don't see issues with splatter out the back.
r/airfryer • Ninja Double Stack XL — don’t buy it ->Klachten genoeg over de Ninja double stack. Steeds dezelfde klachten ongelijk garen van het voedsel. Van wat ik weet van sommige met die klachten dat ze contact hebben gehad met Ninja die toegeven meerdere dezelfde klachten er over hebben gehad. Consument kan binnen 30 dagen de airfryer retour sturen of terugbrengen naar de winkel. Het is een onding wat logisch is. Warmte verspreiding hoort van boven te komen voor een goede werking.
r/airfryer • Ninja Double Stack XL — don’t buy it ->I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation. The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.
