I have the ninja. Cooking for 1 person I find it great. Living in a small space the flip feature is invaluable. I must admit that it took a few tries to find the correct temp and time to cook my French fries to my liking. But I love it. Cooking chicken in it was not at all disappointed. Should mention I find it hard to clean.
I have the KitchenAid. Today I tested the preheat time to 400 degrees with a fast digital thermometer, it was nowhere near 400 when the preheat ended. It hit 400 at around 7 minutes. Once it reached the set temperature it drifted up to +/- 20 degrees at times. The air fry has always been meh, but maybe the preheat temperature inaccuracy is the reason. The interior cooking space between the upper elements and the lowest rack position is just under 4" so you aren't going to fit a chicken in there. The beep tones are very low. The ergonomics are good, nice easy to read controls. Exterior gets hot but it's not too bad. You can only fit the included pan in there under the air fry basket if you flip the bottom rack upside-down. Interior light stays on while cooking. Not very noisy.
This top of the line Breville is the newest version of the Air Fryer Pro line. I own the next lower line the 900BSS which has the same dimensions. I did not need the phone app functionality. It has the best precision time and temperature accuracy. I have owned the Cuisinart and Oster and liked them fine for the price. My Breville cost $349 which I think in the long run will be more cost effective. The two other air fryers lasted 2-3 years before the controls broke…. Non replacement parts. The baskets for air frying on the Breville are much higher quality so they don’t discolor with use. I use heavy weight aluminum foil to line the drip tray, but will try the silicone mats next time.
I'm pretty sure that's not the correct price. I was looking at this exact model (black stainless steel) on Breville's website yesterday, and it retails for $549.99 USD. The stainless color retails for $499.99 USD
The Ninja is their entry level and the Breville is their premium version. The Ninja sp301 should be compared to the Breville BOV860. This would be a fair comparison.
Not a fair comparison with the pricey top of the line Breville Joule with app compatibility.They should have used the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. Also using only fries as a food comparison is not helpful.
I have a massive 26L Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven, which I believe has been discontinued. It's great except it takes up SO much countertop space and I really can't get rid of the microwave since I use it to re-heat liquids. The one thing I learned about air fryer ovens is you have to learn how much you need to adjust temperatures and/or cook times from those given in recipes and on package instructions. Some websites say reduce either one by 25%, but I've found some things cook in half the expected time so I don't leave things unattended much.
Two years ago I bought a Russell Hobbs and I love it and great energy savings. It was cheap and the only drawback is that is is not self-cleaning. Big enough for 2-3 people
Great information! Please can you find me the perfect coffee maker. There are so many I can’t seem to find the right one. Do I buy one that uses pods? Do I need one with a bean grinder? Does it make the perfect espresso? Can I make cold brew or iced coffee? Help! 😂 Thanks.
Lisa sold me on the Joule with those wings!😍 The Joule is $100 off right now (499-100=399 for the bright-stainless version) and I used my Best Buy rewards points to reduce the sting even further.
I am looking for a new air fryer. I had the XL Cosori and have used it about a year and a half. I use it several times a week and it is rated highly but I feel like these reviews are for people who do not use them a lot each week. Where you put the basket into the machine the little top piece inside has quit working and the whole thing is dead. I will not buy another or recommend it. Can anyone recommend a good one that you use a lot .I would appreciate it.
They base their rating from 1st time cooking of fries? What a bunch of nonsense. They should have at least tried to cook fries (or anything 3 times). Bad work.
I'm going to try to buy one from the brand Ambiano which is for sale next week in Aldi and only costs 100€. It comes with 16 options. 2 options that I'm excited for is the popcorn one (it comes with a cylinder basket that spins) and the other option is rotisserie chicken. Compared to the ones that were shown here I think it is waaaaaay cheaper and somewhat better than the Breville that only has 13 options (of course being able to control the machine through your phone is awesome and if the Ambiano could do that too it would be the cherry on top of the cake). If I get my hands on the Ambiano I will leave here a review. Fingers crossed 🤞
Are you kidding? 99% of these air fryer devices are tested with crappy chicken wings or whole roasted chicken. Not everybody worships chicken. Make a search and you'll find plenty of your real "food".
@@Albertojedi I’m talking about what everyone demonstrates with. I know there is plenty of real food. That’s why I wish they would show it instead of fries.
I looked at all three, and purchased the 30 liter Cosori Air Fryer Oven instead. The ninja is cheaply made and too small, the breville is over priced and doesn't have a rotisserie, and the Kitchenaid (which I had and returned) didn't distribute food evenly using the convection, and burnt food easily. The Cosori, for me, is the better option, especially using the rotisserie. Happy cooking!
Good call. Just checked out that Cosori and it does look like a nice unit for only $200. Good reviews too. 1 cubic foot like the Breville Pro models. The Ninja is a dinky 0.55 cf.

Four inches? What did you use to measure that? I'd say you're off by quite a bit here.
I have the Brevil and I love every function! I rarely use my full size oven or microwave.

$800 toaster oven even with 'airfry' is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I could buy a new gpu with that money.

At that price you can replace your entire oven with one that has a air fry option.

Sorry. Seems like you should have included the DT251 instead of the small Ninja.

I have the kitchenaid and you aren't using it right. No need to rotate. You need to place the rack right and it is even and done.
Are they easy to clean the interior heating element or fan?
Really informative and fun, thanks. The music is very loud in places, a bit of a battle to hear the presenters' voices against it.

Everyone demonstrates with fries. I wish someone would cook chicken or fish. That’s real food to me.

Good stuff ladies
Any thoughts on DREO ChefMaker Combi Fryer
My Breville Joule Pro lasted 14 months. I don’t recommend it. Customer service is non existent.
Why are you playing music while you were talking?!!! Or you can hear some music not your voices! So annoying.
The Ninja is too small
I prefer a little crispy
Apart from the preheat, the cooking times and results seem to be the same as my full size oven.
See the video from Americas Test Kitchen for air fryers. Good info.
Cannot do bread. failed 1st one. Last one overpriced. So it was the second one for me.
All 3 are way too small why these when there are bigger ones?! 🤔 Smaller is harder to get into to clean...
You burnt the fries! That was your fault! KITCHENAID WINS DAMNIT!!!

Ninja saves Europeans a lot of electricity, thanks to Ukraine 🐷🇺🇦🤢
It's the same price as as new stove
