Finally! I am sick of all those nonsense reviews that show only the cooked food but the most important parts, like the size, how much food you can cook in each one and for how many family members (from experience), aren't even mentioned.
This is the ONLY review I have found on RUclips that mentions what one needs: How many cm is the cooking basket of each fryer.
I bought this for a friend. He loves it as much as I love mine.
I have the smaller one, I live alone so it's perfect for me. I love this thing, best ever. I've owned a Crux, a Cosori, an ActiFry...now this one. I really should have bought it first!!
at last a review that gives a tape measured in depth explanation/ comparison and focuses on the salient points which are paramount to a purchase choice. really well done mate, thanks.
Thanks Clint🙂👍
Got the smaller version, and really enjoying cooking with it, did the 2 roast whole chickens from your video and the results were great, moist meat and delicious crispy skin 👍
Glad you are getting used to it mate 😀👍😍
Can you say what weight each chicken was please ?
@@mistyqqq medium 1.8kg
@@chefmatthews9250 many thanks
So you could fit a whole chicken in the smaller 7.5l drums? I'm still deciding which to go for. Only 2 of us in the house but I like to prep food. But my kitchen is very small.
That was a really useful review - too many reviews on products are full of likes, preferences and pointless generalisations whereas you actually got the tape measure out and gave us the facts not fluff.
Thanks Graham 😊
I recently purchased the bigger Ninja and love it!
Great comparison. There is only me and the wife so I'm going for the 300. Used this guide to check that its features weren't inferior to the 400. I actually prefer the display on the 300 without the knob.
Thanks 😊 yes I agree, the display is much easier to use on the 300 👍
Excellent in-depth, no-nonsense comparison. Thanks for that. Still very torn on which to go for. At the moment the original is on sale in Ireland, making it much cheaper than the Max, but I feel like I'll regret not having the larger drums. Decisions decisions!
Thanks Shane, I definitely agree with you about the buttons being easier to see/ use on the smaller unit. 🙂👍
Buy the larger one, you can cook smaller in the large one, but not bigger in the smaller one.
Best buying the max
Just ordered the bigger one, never used one before looking forward to it! Great video cheers
I ordered the larger one last night and it arrived this evening! Mine has the windows in the drawers but otherwise it’s the same. I hadn even realised there were so many different Ninja models!
I was watching QVC with an offer on the bigger version recently. Watching the demonstrations and reading reviews on Amazon every one seemed to rave about this product. So I bought one yesterday from Argos the bigger version. Had to wait a couple of days for stock. QVC had sold all there stock completely and we’re doing pre orders but to long to wait for the item. I have never owned any sort of air fryer. Always use an oven. I would say that I am a confident cook with an oven. My main concerns as I no times to cook things in the oven with good results, this was out the window with air fryer technology. Anyway I was excited to test this product, had some potatoes lying around so thought it was a good idea to try roast potatoes at about 10am in the morning😀. Set it on 200 on roast for 25 minutes. I would normally skin and boil the potatoes first Off, then fluff them up then cook them. But I just cut them up with the skins on and added salt and pepper. I gave them a shake between the 25 minutes. And by the end they were done. Could not believe the results, I thought as I had not boiled them they would be a bit hard. I added a small spoon off oil. And thought that they would be burnt to a crisp. But not the case. Seems like the oven uses more oil. Or maybe I add to much oil. ? When cooking in an oven. Then later I cooked tempura prawns. I put them in for 7 minutes and shanked them once. They were done perfectly. If I done them in the oven 15 minutes + 15 minutes to heat the oven. Wow impressive. But I must have a good instinct for cooking because I have not used any air fryer before and seem to be getting bang on results. 👍. This product will definitely not be collecting dust after a couple of weeks, I think that main oven will definitely we used a whole lot less. I own a George Forman grill that does great cheese and onion toasted sandwiches and I still use that product.
Awesome Dean, I feel you have the right attitude for the Ninja dual zone...trail and error!
Just give it a go and see how it turns out. Now I want tempura prawns 🤣
I have the original one and like you use almost every day. The only complaint I have is when using both baskets you have to add at least two three minutes to your cooking times for your items as the temperature not as displayed , 400F with both sides going cooks about 380F. Small niggle, but something to keep in mind.
Does it let you set the temperature higher, say to 425, to counteract this?
@@SolDizZo No, the highest setting is 400 normally. If you air broil it will allow one basket to go to 450, but not two baskets simultaneously.
What do you mean sorry the temperature is not as displayed? I can't find out more about this online. I have just bought the smaller one 7.5l drums but not sure if I should return for the larger one before I use it.
@@Em-po6ep when using two baskets it can take much longer to get same results, so therefore the conclusion is neither of them are actually at set temperature. Example Frozen French fries in one basket @ 400 f usually air fries to where I like them at around 12-13 minutes. Putting fries in both baskets at same temperature can take 5-6 minutes or more longer If you check book that came with air fryer you’ll see that cooking times vary quite a bit if using single basket versus both baskets. It is a not a big problem but it takes a bit of getting used too.
@@porthole12 thank you Peter I have only just seen your reply!
We’ve finally ordered one, the 9.5 one so fingers crossed it’ll be big enough
Whoop 😁
Helped my now simple choice, the smaller 7.5L is all I realistically need while living alone.
Thanks for posting this, its just what I needed to know before I make a purchase. 👍🏻
Cheers thanks for watching 😀
Thanks... We settled for the af300uk... There is only my wife and myself in the home... The ninja will be more than enough for us...
Thanks for taking the time and all the info! Much appreciated.
Thanks Kevin 😃
Great comparison Thankyou. I live alone & want one of these but My family of x5 from oz are coming to stay , aswell as my adult daughter for a month . So 7 people n the house but then it’s bk to me living as one . So I think the smaller draw still will be ok . For the sake of one month of craziness .
With a quick calculation (no rounded shape taken into account), we can have 3.46 l for the old version (presented for 3.5 l) and only 4.1 l for the most recent (presented for 4.75 L). Bigger is volume, bigger is the lie 🙂
I actually found this video very helpful, I wasn't gonna buy the little one but after watching this I did 👊👊
Awesome thanks Tommy's Tours 🙂👍
Did you actually?
Thank you. All the information I needed to make an informative decision!! Nailed it
Cheers thanks Mr Lee
Thanks, currently Amazon selling the 9.5L for similar price as 7.5L so probably going to order the larger just for the versatility…..many thanks for the comparison 👍
Good choice 😃
The bigger one is cheaper atm.
Just bought one if its even half as good as people make out I'll be very happy!
Will check out your other videos for some culinary inspirations!
I was gifted with the 7.5 version. And it’s the best gift I’ve ever gotten. 😀
Thank you! I was trying to decide on the two. Although my family there is just two of us, we like to entertain and would like to cook a roast in, so maybe the larger one is best. :)
Yep go big then 🙂👍
Bizarrely the bigger one is cheaper than the small one at the mo. I searched and found the smaller on on QVC for 159 in the end. Only 2 of us so the big one is not necessary. Haven't got it yet but can't wait to try it
That's a great price 😀
Thank you soo much for this review it’s been really helpful. I got the 7.6l ninja and I’m a family of 3 and it think it will be fine!! Purchased it yesterday and it’s coming today and can’t wait to use it
How is it mate? Worth buying?
Hi mate
Just wanted to say thanks. Bought the smaller one recently and did what everyone does … search for ideas and tips.
Your stuff has been really helpful and it’s obvious you know how to cook.
I don’t work as it but I was a trained chef so food is everyday hobby … I also have the proliferation of ooni, Weber etc I see some of there.
Anyway, cheers for the vids from sw france
Hi Mark, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad you have your Ninja now. I bet outside cooking in France is better than the UK 😀👍
@@1Pizza2Many put it this way … it’s more frequent… and without having to wear a coat all the time. Having said that, it’ll be -3 overnight tonight so winters are cold at night. We just live out a good chunk of the year. If you ever fancy a trip to the Lot Valley, give me a shout … you’d like it here and I wouldn’t be entirely responsible for feeding everyone for once
@@markl2815 haha brilliant 😊👍
Thanks buddy really good to see the size difference
Thanks bro good video 👍
Is it just me or did anyone else get ASMR from this? 😅
Thanks Benjamin 😃😃👍
I’m here taking notes 😋
When you said big daddy it cracked me up by laughing 😂😂😂😂 can’t wait to co back to college and get back to your lessons
got small one absolutly great 👍
Found your channel yesterday while looking for an air fryer review. Already watched a few of your vids and subscribed. Good look with the move 👍
Cheers thanks Lee 😊👍
Both come in a fair bit cheaper now than quoted in this video.
Yep, this was filmed a couple of years ago now 😃👍
Ninja seemed to have listened😂 with the handle ninja realised they had a fault with the machine and fixed it!
Great video thank you. Mines arrives soon and I can't wait to use it. Tske care. 👋🙂
Well done for the dimensions
I read this review would you agree is this correct? Not enough power in dual mode!
This looked like a great idea in theory, too bad it doesn't really work in practice. The Kil-a-wat reveals the problem - the machine draws max 1500Watt. When using only one zone, it gets the full 1500 and works well, it crisps, browns and fries perfectly. When using both zones, the power ...
Hi Mat.
I've never had any issue with lack of power when both baskets are in use, so no I wouldn't agree with that review. 🙂👍
Thanks from Germany! 🤝
Ty for this video! I was going to get the XL, but it’s just me.
Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks for your video.im just waiting for an e.mail from currys to pick up my ninja dual air fryer.
Enjoyed your accent a lot and the info and everything ❤
Thnx for the review
Great Review - Thanks!
What is the difference in price ov the2fromdavidpeterbourgh
Normally between £50-80 difference depending on offers etc
Thank you for your review 🙏. I’ve been wanting the bigger Ninja for ages, but it’s always out of stock. I’ve seen a few on Amazon, but they’re over £600! There are only 2 of us in the house, but my other half works hard and eats twice as much as I do. 😊
dont bother with this, get single one with over 9lt capacity, having 2 baskets is 2 times the cleaning, plus any airfyer life is no more than 2 years, get the cheapest and biggest basket version, if airfyer can not take 2kg chicken inside DO NOT BUY it...
if you are soo keen to buy ninja there are tons of them selling on facebook market place, i am guessing they realise that it was a big mistake to buy this 2 basket version...???
@@bektaskonca5189 what a fake info. airfyer can easiy lasts more than 2years
Good video, very useful - thanks for doing it!
Thanks for watching 😍
Thanks I bought the bigger AF400. Now looking for times for cooking as it seems to cook quicker than the smaller version.
Are you gong to be cooking more things with the AF400?
Subscribed hoping that is the case 👍
They are both good ww have the one on the left the smaller version we are a family of 4 and I manage but they are absolutely amazing x
Lisa how do find the handles? This is the only thing putting me off the small one.
Morning I find them ok and had no problem at all. Ww got ours before all the hipe about them .. love the small one it does us ok but will eventually invest in the bigger and use both lol ..
@@lisastrafford3987 hi, Thankyou very much for quick reply, was very helpful 🙂 x
@@ginbob46 your very welcome 🤗
Thanks for such a thorough comparison! I'm looking to upgrade from my 4 quart air fryer, and the handle has always felt a bit wobbly to me. I had no idea about the new handle style on the bigger one. I think it's probably worth the price increase just to avoid the risk of it breaking off and dropping a hot pan full of food all over myself!
Great Great video man 👏 as a single person the 300 one should be more than enough.. ✌
Yehhh we are have the NINJAFOODI OL750EU and NINJA FOODI AF400eu at home . Thank you..Greetings from the Netherlands. Henk and wilke
Awesome to have you guys watching from the Netherlands 😊👍
Can you please show us the heating elements/fans & how do we clean them? Do you have to turn the machine on it's side to get to the under roof elements? Thanks :)
Yes, I was thinking the same. I haven't got one yet, but trying to get an understanding of them x
It’s means it is.
Its is the possessive. Autocorrect strikes again. 😉
Thanks for this video!
very well explained thank you ,top man,
Cheers 🙂👍
Today the bigger one is cheaper on Amazon. £159. I only need a smaller one but bigger cheap :)
Got the big one arriving today. Guess what's cooking tea tonight
I thought the 7.5 would probably do me, but the bigger one is only a couple of cm bigger! My main concern was desktop space. - doesn't seem like there's much in it
Great video thank you ❤
Thanks
I live alone so went for smaller one if u have more to feed it makes sense to go big but for me it was based on only my mouth to feed it's a quality item too not cheap feeling or looking even the box was nice quality !
Did anyone else want to see the smaller basket in the bigger unit just to see how much space was left over lol?
I'll stick it in the FB page next week as I'll have to get the basket back of my mate Ian who now has the smaller one. 🙂👍
Thank u great video
The new one has better individual display but the smaller one has easy 1 touch menu button, easy for kids to cook, rather than turn knob on newer bigger one, what a conundrum,Airbus vs Boeing!! Darn you Ninja!!
Excellent helpful demo though,Chef! Happy Cooking
I’ll be checking out your recipes soon 😊
Can you fit a whole chicken in the 7.5
Yes, this is the model I have used in this video 👍🙂
totally confused me when the fryers changed position at the end of the video!
appreciate!
How far should the AF be placed from the wall to remove heat and moisture? The depth of 7.5 and 9.5 is the same, but how many centimeters is it? Thank you."
Enjoyed your presentation on these, thing is you cannot get them any were ,All out of stock , your link also none ,,must be very popular in these days of high energy ,
Thanks Stephen. Yes they are like gold dust atm. Last place to stock them was QVC last Sunday I believe.
good video but please get a better camera as quailty only goes to 720p and your great content deserves HD
Cheers. Camera isnt cheap 🤣 it's a cannon M50. It does 1080 but it then doesn't fill the screen as it crops slightly.
Could I cook a sea beam fish in one of the 2 baskets? Does it fit?
Yes no reason why not. Also look at the newer Ninja FlexiDrawer air fryer as you can take a divider out and have 1 large basket instead of two smaller ones. I have an unboxing and review video of it on my channel. 😁
@@1Pizza2Many ok because i have to choose between the 9,5 l and the 10,4l that is with one basket. but if i can cook 2 fishes using the ninja 9,5l with the 2 separate baskets i would choose that one.
Thanks
I cooked a chicken in it 1 hour turned half way,I don't know if it cooked right the meat was very tough and veiny also a bit wet,I d rather oven cooked chicken to be honest, everything else cooks nicely in it though
Found them both at the same price but it's only for me do I really need the larger capacity
For the overall size difference I'd definitely go with the bigger version.
Max all the way its like having 2 single air fryers and when you shake your fries you get a better crisp
Thank you so much. I am so indecisive as to which one to get. We are a family of 4 adults, but one is about to move out. Do I really then need the really big one? I still don’t know lol. However you have really helped thank you.
Thanks for watching Deborah. I'd say if you can get the big one, go for it. You won't regret getting the bigger one Vs getting the small one.
@@1Pizza2Many thank you so much! Yes I have made a decision and it’s the big one! Happy Christmas 🎄
WoW bought my dual air fryer at 2.49 the price has gone up 😮 in feb2023
Great review thanks. Wanted to know which model cheapest to run? pauline
Great video
Brilliant review what function and temp and time were the roast chickens my friend just buying mine now?
180oC on Air fry. 30 mins upside down and then 30 mins breast side up. 🙂👍
@@1Pizza2Many thanks a lot buddy 👌🏻👌🏻😊😊
Hi, what size joint or chicken will fit in the smaller one please? there are only two of us but chickens generally are 2kg, ducks a bit heavier but smaller?
Can you put a whole chicken in the small version?
Yes, see my video on how to cook two whole chickens in the small dual zone 😁👍🤞
Can you do a full chicken in the smaller one?
Yep, I have a video showing this too 😁
You said that the depth is the same. But how much is it?
great video. Does the top of each oven get hot? At the moment, my toaster sits on top pf my microwave and the air fryer is replacing microwave. Will toaster still be able to sit on top? or does it get too hot?
Yes should be fine as long as it's a light toaster as the top is only plastic. Just make sure it's not in line with the vents at the back though as they throw the heat out and upwards. 😃👍
Could you tell me the what the wattage is in both Ninja's please. The fact it has one for each drawer does this mean twice as much electric being used? They are all out of stock everywhere at the moment, so hopefully they will be available soon and not gone up in price too much.
Could you fit a quiche in there? Like a tesco quiche or something
Yep one of the small ones 👍
Hi Mate me again i know I'm a pain in the the backside , You mentioned the dimensions for the 9.5 Litre Model as 32.5cm HEIGHT X 41.5cm WIDTH XX.X DEPTH But you never said in your tutorial what the depth is , You just said they are both the same depth.
Thank you for the explanation ɓut can you tell me if it's Teflon coated or ceramic?
Hi, it's not Teflon as this is now banned for use as a non stick coating. You want to make sure it says PFOA free. They use a PTFE based ceramic coating. 😊👍
@@1Pizza2Many sadly I live in Belgium (heck I even work for the EU - in admin) but we have the highest rate of "forever chemical" pollution on the planet and I don't think it's banned here.
As a matter of fact, we only JUST discovered a few weeks ago that the govt hid from us that PFAS have contaminated our water for years! Ugh ! I'm just glad that I got a Berkey back in 2018 as apparently the charcoal filtres can strip the PFAS from it.
OMG I literally just found an article from Politico wherein this is the title (from only October, 2023) so we're definitely not as protected from this junk as Americans would think!
"PTFE ban: The hidden consumer costs and employment losses
The PFAS restriction proposal that is under consideration by European authorities would jeopardize EU flagship industries, including cookware, and deprive consumers of safe and durable products."
Pfff.... they're only JUST getting around to "making proposals" to have it banned by....2030 ! GRRRRR !!!!
www.politico.eu/sponsored-content/ptfe-ban-the-hidden-consumer-costs-and-employment-losses/
@@1Pizza2Many BTW, many thanks for your rapid reply though !
Did I miss running costs ?
Thanks a good review
What's is the difference between these models: Ninja DZ401 vs AD350CO? They look exactly the same.
I would go for the smaller one due to price....I have a family of 4 so will be happy with that plus I prefer the cook buttons on the first one ,saving to get mine at the moment, nearly there.....Only just found you so have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing your Ninja air fry recipes to get my guidance on what to cook and times to cook ,, when I get mine...Many Thanks
Do you know what the running cost difference is between the 300 and 400 ninja as I’m thinking about the high price of gas and electricity?
No, but I may do a video comparing this soon as lots of people asking for this information
@@1Pizza2Many Thank you as I think this will be the deciding factor for me.
Just ordered the 9.5 L 400EU - am wandering though - can I set time and temp manually instead of selecting a program ?
Yes you can!
Thank you for a clear and concise comparison - can the smaller one cook a 1.5kg chicken? The drawers at only 10cm deep seem a bit small. Cheers
Yes they can. I managed two 1.8kg chickens in the smaller one in the video where I cooked one in each draw. 🙂👍
Bigger one is 50 quid more expensive and i like the look of the smaller one more so will be going 7.6. realistically i dont think adding the bottom bit of that handle will make the joint any stronger uptop
But the weight distribution is way better...
Hi, my wife and I choose different meals, I am more meat, she is fish and chicken, would the larger version be a better bet or not. Thanks.
Id say larger one would be best for anyone looking, as it isn't that much bigger in size but much better capacity 😊👍
Thanks for your reply, also for the info and a great review😊👍
Thanks for your help, ours arrived last Friday😊👍
Hola tengo una duda tengo la más grande pero no estoy convencida si a si funciona hace un click a cada 1 20 segundo quisiera saber si a si es su función o la mía esta defectuosa
I notice there is a AF450 and AF400, what is the difference?
Will smaller one fit whole chicken?
How does it compare to the Ninja Foodi MAX Pro?
