Ninja - DoubleStack 8 QT SL201/SL300

I have a ninja dual and I love it

Bought the ninja 13-in-1 flip toaster oven second hand for $100 and it had replaced my microwave and dual tray ninja air fryer almost entirely. Actually, I haven't used the air fryer since I bought it, which was four month ago. The microwave I use to reheat leftovers, like soup, mash potatoes, that won't reheat well in the toaster. It has also pretty much replaced my conventional oven except for when I'm doing big batches or baking something that won't fit, like a cheesecake.

Dude I've been a skeptic for years and I finally got one the other day, ninja duel basket and it's absolutely awesome being able to choose 2 different modes or times and temperatures even if just cooking for 1

Got the uk twin draw so like 2400+ watts, it's great, very even and fast cooking on either draw

Can't say I've tried any others but I've never had any issues with my Ninja. I have the one that's stacked instead of side by side to save counter space and I love it. Only complaint is the cord is a bit short.

I have ninja dual stack and it's a life saver. I can cook 2 things at once and not having to be constantly putting things in the oven and checking on them. It has the functions to match the cooking time for things to finish at the same time and you can have 2 layers in the same basket. It cooks much faster than the oven does. It ended up being smaller than I expected, but fits more than what I expected. Bonus function is not heating up the whole house just for a meal, like the oven does. I love that I'm not a sweaty and smelling like a pig after making dinner. I put my air frier close to the kitchen fan and turn it on. I should have bought it sooner. PS: watch out the air frier exhaust. Mine melted a cheap toaster that's encased in plastic.

Any dual compartment Ninjia. Ninja until I die. Amazing bang for your buck

That one was also at the top of my list but ultimately, I think I made the better choice. I think with that model, I heard a lot of people saying that the bottom didn't cook at the same rate as the top. I suppose you could compensate for that if you were cooking different items. There is also one that has two dedicated drawers that I heard good things about but if you ever wanted to make a big item like a roasted chicken, it would be hard unless you get a small chicken.

It's not about the cooking method. Brining/marinading + making sure they are flat and more or less equal in thickness + taking it out at the right internal temperature is the key. I know double stack ninja model has a built in thermometer for monitoring food temp, but you can buy one separately. It will level up your chicken breasts.

I got this recently and have been a little frustrated on the cooking quality. The top basket cooks much faster than the bottom even when the "double stack" and "match cook" buttons are chosen. I'm thinking about returning mine and getting a different model.

Super je ako ne želiš konstantno paliti pećnicu, odličan je. Ali nije ništa zdravije. Ja imam Ninja, onaj sa dvije košare i top mi je. Imala sam i jeftinije, al' u ovo se bas ispalti uložiti

Yes, I have the ninja one with 2 compartments so you can cook 2 meals at different temp. I've it !

This model of ninja is inherently flawed as an airfyer and the heating element is at the back. Reviews show it can lead to uneven cooking. If you have the space opt for the side-by-side ninja dual basket one, it goes up to 240C as well.

At least this one has 2 baskets. I bet it's fine as long as you only use one layer in each basket (depending on if it has one or two heating elements). The price is not bad and Costco is great about returns so it might be worth a try. I was debating between a one big basket/one basket dual zone/two basket and got no consensus to help me choose! I wound up getting a Ninja dual basket from Costco and while I don't often make full use of all its capabilities I'm delighted

I went through 3 of the non glass ones a few years ago and had to return them. After a few weeks of use, the metal fan would make contact with the lid (or something else in the air fryer) and would make this screeching metal-on-metal noise. Ended up getting the Ninja two basket from Costco eventually.

i just got a dual basket ninja, and im glad i got a dual basket. its my first air fryer but i already know id get frustrated only having one basket. its like having two air fryers. can do double the amount of something or two different things at the same time. i just open and look every now and then since i dont have a window and its fine

I have a dual basket Ninja. It is about the easiest thing to hand wash in the kitchen. I will probably never wash it in the dishwasher. (Even if there's room) Why would you want to leave a dirty basket out overnight?

the Ninja dual drawer top and bottom is awesome and very easy to clean. In fact, we threw out the Phillips XXL because it was so cumbersome and hard to clean in comparison.

I have a ninja oven like that one with an air fryer setting and it's bad. I have a ninja air fryer like the air fryer pictured as well, it's great.

We had a toaster oven style and it wasn't much better than a toaster oven. Nothing actually got crispy, I don't think the air moves as much as a basket style. Have since replaced it with the 2-basket ninja and probably use it for 80% of our meals, it is great

I've actually owned the Smart Oven Air for 5+ years now and while it's absolutely amazing and if it broke I would buy another one tomorrow, I still bought the dual basket Ninja air fryer. Nothing beats having the air shot directly on top of the food in the basket

Double basket ninja. It's the best I've ever owned. Do not go for the cheap recommendations, I used to have a cheap gournia and another cheap brand (both were ~50 bucks), not very consistent, didn't cook all parts at same speed, etc. I love to cook everything in my ninja, lately I've been into cooking frozen steaks, better than sous vide etc and much easier and leave the best crust

We bought the Ninja dual basket air fryer last year. It's been great. Can cook 2 things at the same time. Each container is 5 qt so great capacity. Unfortunately, it's no longer available at Costco.

I just replaced my Ninja flip. It worked fine as a little oven (think frozen pizza) but every other feature was mediocre. Especially the air fryer mode. I now have the dual basket Ninja and do not miss the impossible to keep clean flip at all. I'm back to making quick, crispy AIR FRIED stuff again. Can you say wings??? 🤤

I have a dedicated air fryer and a ninja air fryer oven thing. The dedicated air fryer is much better at most things, especially meat like chicken thighs. The oven combo is good at veggies, reheating foods, frozen fries, etc. The oven is not better at those things, but the profile of the large rack makes it more convenient. I had a dedicated nice counter oven that quit. I thought the combo would be a good replacement. It's not really. It's not as good as an oven and not as good as an air fryer. But the combination is convenient since I still have the air fryer. The combo absolutely can't replace my dedicated ninja air fryer.

Have a ninja dual drawer job. No complaints

I have the ninja side by side. Works fine.

Maak al vele jaren al dankbaar gebruik van de Philips XL airfryer. Nu ook een Ninja gekocht met 2 mandjes, ook heel fijn ding. Vaak kan je bij de Philips XL een hele zak ovenfriet er in kiepen, of een heel pak snacks, das wel handig dat de verpakkingen bij de grootte van je mandje aansluiten.

I got the Ninja one that has 2 baskets. I thought I'd love it because you could use one basket at a time but honestly I hate it. Each basket is too small. No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area.

I second this, first one I ever got was an oven one, it's amazing, but the front glass door got dirty and really hard to clean. I have the dual basket ninja and can just soak it and then rinse the basket.

Air fryer is great. I have one of the double basket models and have been using it regularly for at least 4 years now. Blender sucks. I've never used a ninja blender that wasn't total shit. Try to find a used vitamix or blendtec blender, even one with 1/10th of its life left is still better than a brand new ninja blender.

Yeah, I have a dual basket Ninja and I don't recommend it. Whenever you cook with both baskets it just doesn't have enough power for that so it cooks way worse, so you end up just always using only 1 basket.

I love my Ninja. I've had 2 other brands but this one has been the best quality. If I could go back and buy the one with 2 separate baskets I would, because I love it.

I'm curious if you buy what the OP is asking about and you cook something full of fat like bacon or chicken wings where does all the grease go and how hard is it to clean up? I currently have a ninja dual basket, all the grease and fat falls to the bottom so it's easy to pull the drawer and empty it out.

I have a stacked dual ninja, and I wouldn't recommend it. the buttons are overly complicated, and it has a beep every time you open it that would wake the dead. no way to disable it. I much preferred my old air fryer which just had 2 dials, one for time and one for temperature

I got the ninja crispi last year while I was mobilized with the military and living in a hotel. It has been my favorite air fryer so far. Ive had a double basket ninja foodi and still have a ninja 10 in 1. The crispi makes great chicken wings, fajitas, and does all the normal air frying better than any of those others in my opinion. It definitely gets everything crispier.

I think it depends on the appliance. some toaster ovens have airfryer qualities and are big enough to roast a chicken. the air fryer i have is a ninja foodi dual basket, so it has two separate baskets that I can cook at different or at same times. it has an airfry setting, a roast setting, a reheat setting, and a dehydrate setting. its my favorite appliance in the whole house! I use the reheat setting for reheating things like fish or steak, and I've been using the dehydrator setting a lot lately to make jerky and dog treats. I don't really use the roast setting since it's just an airfry setting that just isn't as strong in crisping things. I have the 8qt size and while the appliance is really big, the baskets aren't all that big, but it's enough for me and my husband. for a family I would definitely get the biggest size, which i think is 10qt I've grown up with a toaster oven before with just the basic function (and not very big) and all we used it for was honestly just to reheat pizza slices lol. I'm sure there might be really cool ones out there now but I think a really good airfryer with all the bells and whistles is much more worth it. it makes cooking so much easier with a lot less mess making too.

I only have experience with the dual basket air fryer but it's the best air fryer I've used and it's lasted quite a while. As for cleaning, it's no better or worse than other air basket fryers. But the fryer performance is better. I actually think the name holds it back b/c it makes it sound like a cheap As Seen On TV brand e.g. Ginsu knives. But all the reviews show they make good stuff.

we have the ninja side by side. it works fine. you can operate both sides as one, if you want. and you can set both sides to finish at the same time if they have different settings. i don't like that you have to manually pause it if you don't want hot air just blowing out when you open a basket and it doesn't have a reminder to flip like our single basket Instant Vortex does.

second everyone saying get a two drawer one. use my ninja dual drawer one pretty frequently and find the two drawer great for doing two different things at different temps and times etc. don't have an oven so can't compare useage, but no preheating like an oven

Was it the two basket ninja? Because we bought that one at Costco and ended up returning it.

I got that stacked Ninja and ended up giving it away and buying a traditional bucket style instead. The heat elements in this come from the back, not the top. This creates a few problems like juicy stuff getting the back dirty and spilling, not being able to properly "shake the basket" since the holes are on the back. Each basket is also pretty small, might work for you but did not for me. Another slightly annoying thing is that it also wont stop cooking automatically if you remove the basket, you need to press the "stop" button. And it also has bo preheat timer. Meaning if you want to preheat it you need to do it the old school way and just guess when its ready.

I will vouch for this. Once I used my mother in law's ninja I realized that the IP Duo Crisp was far from adequate as an air fryer. I've added a Njnja (2 drawer model) and I've gotten rid of the IP air fryer lid and inner basket.

I have a ninja that is a do it all oven. Has air fryer settings. I've been making wings in it recently and they've come out great

Seconding Ninja. I've had the double basket for years now and it works flawlessly after running it at least four times a week. Before I had that I had a Kitchen Aid convection toaster oven that failed and caught fire internally. Ninja is my go to brand now. I got their blender-food processor combo about a year ago and (despite sounding like a jet taking off) it's the best blender I've ever owned. It laughs at crushing a full pitcher of ice.

I absolutely love my dual basket ninja. I use it almost every day. Cook two different items at two different temperatures for 2 different time lengths, synced to end at the same. Cook a lot of the same item in both baskets. Cook just a little bit of just one item in just one basket. So useful.

Ninja double basket. It's worth every penny. It's easy to clean. I have had mine for about 2 years now. Still looks brand new.
