Very professional delivery and very helpful. Thank you.
I've just moved home and currently in the new place while it gets a kitchen refit, me mam had this sitting in the back of her cupboard for months if not years so I thought I'd bring it and it's been great! It was a slow slog working it out though and I'm happy I found this video because I thought I might have been overreacting about the noise as I'd never used an air fryer before so had never heard one before but my god is it loud. Great video straight to the point and covered everything I wanted to know, I'll show me mam the video and maybe she'll see how she could get use out of it because I think I'll try out a normal air fryer instead once the kitchens done.
Thanks for the comment, I promise you regular air fryers are nowhere near as noisy! 😄
Hi Which Morphy Richards soup maker would you recommend best as I want to get one but not sure what to get as I want to make more smooth soups
I really like the Total Control and would have happily bought it again after my son killed it, but wanted to buy something different to review on the channel. Simple to use and very smooth soups
I think you need to go back to school and learn what air fryers does. You just used yours to bake bread, that can be done in a normal oven, since it doesn't take advantage of air frying. At least use breadsticks without the container that ruins the point of the air fryer.
You’re hilarious! Air fryers are incredibly versatile and like an oven (which is what they are) can be used for a huge range of cooking
I’ve got a newer W1 (PowerWash & 8kg) and you now can set a short (half) version of the long cotton program
Thanks for the review! Interested by the side by side comparaision between the Turbo/Dual Blaze to decide which one to buy. An idea of when the video will be available :) ?
Thank you for the nudge, I’m going to send an email to Cosori, but I’m afraid it will be a few weeks
Tefal Easy Fry Dual Drawer on Amazon UK > amzn.to/4caEEZC
Thanks for a great review, its helpful ❤
No problem at all, thanks for the comment 😘
Thank you for the review was about to buy this air fryer. Glad I never! Is there an air fryer you recommend for a family of 4 please.
Personally I really like the Cosori dual drawer ua-cam.com/video/xrKMTGarBBs/v-deo.htmlsi=J8cHd0RoxDYxeDQc but the Ninja dual drawer is the UKs best-seller and is backed by excellent support, accessories and online communities. You won’t be disappointed with either
Oh and it also was the top rated in the reviews for 2024.
I bought it for the 6qt. basket and the size of it to fit on my counter. Another reason was for the easy clean up and the less complicated and easy to see control panel. I never thought about the motor speed. Lol
Great summary, useful comparison.
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share.
Appreciate the comment!
Thank you Clara. This was clear, oplifting and objective. I appreciate the work you have done. ❤
You are so welcome!
I chose AF400 over this and other fleximodels because of the washing up issue. There is a double drawer airfryer available here in Denmark where you can buy a big drawer as an accessory.
There is also a model like that here which is on my list to review
compared to the dual ninja? i have the dual ninja but i am moving to another country so i might give it to my friend and buy a new one
Thanks for this great video. Its a shame they dont do like the Ometa 9l or Duronic 3 draw with 3 types of draws. You can use either the one large or the two small ones. That would be a great idea for Ninja to look at.
Very true!
@@CandidClara I wonder if there a way of giving them ideas like this
Oh thank you very much for these ideas and tips! And you are very easy to listen to so I am going to subscribe, thank you!
Thank you!
I dont see the problem using it outdoors, its not like you use it when the rain is pouring , nor would I ever use it in scorching heat. But on a small balcony I don't see the issue. I am always mindful with everything electric
It’s just what all manufacturers advise
Might be better off with Breville Halo Flexi Air Fryer.
How do you clean the pet hair attachment??
Hya, can I use it on my duvet cover for pet hairs??
It would have been nice if you had mentioned how heavy the soup maker is in your review. 🤔
Well it was 4 years ago, we’re all beginners sometime 🤷♀️
Brilliant review. Im really considering buying this. Its the same oven as the everdure pizza oven but cheaper in the uk. This one is on legs but essentially the same parts. Its the understone burner and the rotating stone thats selling it me. Everybody says for a beginner its fool proof. Think id get the orange one for some reason.
It is fool proof, but the tricky bit is not getting the raw pizza stuck on the paddle! 😆 (tip, make sure your sauce isn’t too wet!!) We are having 10 over for pizzas on Saturday, I love it!
@@CandidClara thanks for the reply and its very reassuring to know you still use it . Would just need some better weather in England to do some cooking although I have built a covered outdoor kitchen to use one in. Thank you for getting back to me
This is another great review. Someone else has done a review about the stack and it couldn't even cook a sausage let alone the multiple design flaws. Feels like ninja are trying to reinvent the air fryer and doing a bad job. Jut back your products instead of trying to change them. We went with the cosori Dual and im so glad we did I'm obsessed and its saved us so much money its definitely going to remain a summertime oven so the whole kitchen doesn't heat up. And because we have solar and it uses no more than 1750wh we can run it off the solar or batteries unlike a higher powered oven.
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment x
Your videos are fantastic. You pointed out some niggling nuances that one would usually only discover after buying the colossus Megazone.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video Clara - as a meat eater with vegitarian partner the two draw Ninja has it hands down. But if you have a big family and want a big dish of cottage pie then the Megazone might appeal. Horses for courses. - Paul 😃😃😎😎
Thanks Paul 😘

I love my new Cosori Dual Basket, and I love how much cheaper is was to buy than the Ninja would have been. Another Cosori bonus is that you can see whats happening in each draw. Thank you for your awesome videos, you helped me to decide what to buy.
Thank you for the comment!
How do you make the coconut icecream pls?
Do you mean the vegan vanilla which is made with coconut milk? The recipe for that is in the No ha book that comes with the machine
Thanks looking for a smoothie maker
👍
Thanks for doing this review. I was wondering if the clean function it has is enough? I don't want old spinach from my soup floating around my hot chocolate! Torn between this and the Tefal perfectmix which has a removable blade.
Amazingly the clean cycle has always done the job for me (last used my blender on Friday, so it gets a lot of use) but the Tefal sounds interesting, I will check it out!
Brought Ninja Double door last week. Haven't used it cause it looks very complicated. Step kids know how to use it from being at their grandparents house. Wife claims it was first time she used it last week though I told her I think she has used it before at her parents house which she denies it. Wife says she will teach me but it looks hard. I would return it & have thought of doing it even if it makes my family mad
I promise you it’s not complicated and you’ll love it, give it a go!
@CandidClara You & my wife were right. It was easier than I thought it would be. Used it couple times already. I like it.
I don't get it... Why are you making the smaller part of the meal in the larger room? I would be making a small portion of meat in the small room and a large amount of the important non-meat stuff in the large room. I don't get how you can make the mistake of switching the two, I need twice as much of potatoes or veggies if not more compared to meat in my meals, I don't think I've ever had a situation where the meat was the larger part of the total meal.
HI, CAN THE NINJA STEAM?
No
Can you cook pasta bake and lasagne
Yes
Thanks this helped me so much with my decision... 400 for sure 👍🏼👍🏼
After some research I bought a Cosori 12 litre airfryer oven (also from Amazon), it has a smaller footprint than your Ninja, it has 10 cooking modes plus the additon of a Rotisserie (whch also comes with a drum for cooking chips etc), it cooks pizzas and it can grill. It is also a full convection oven and can do anything that your main oven do - size permitting. It has adjustable trays which can be raised or lowered, a glass fronted door with an internal light so that you can see what's happening. It doesn't cook in deep bins so everything just slides out in front of you. It's made of stainless steel so unlikely to suffer from the melting problem reported by some Ninja users. Currently it's 40 quid cheaper than the Ninja, all seems a no brainer to me.
No offense, but that’s not 180°. F It’s 180% Celsius You’re not reading American you’re reading non-American. When you cook fries, you’re supposed to be air frying them at 400°.
This is a British channel reviewing UK appliances 🤷♀️
The dual blaze sucks and overcooks your food easily. Because it’s got dual burners you’re not going to be able to follow regular airfryer times so don’t waste your money on dual blaze it’s not for people that aren’t super attentive. Unless you like overcooked food
This is the TurboBlaze not the Dual.
i just got a postcard to join Vine but they are asking me to buy gift cards to cover the cost of the product. i thought this was free.
This is a scam, Vine will never ask you to purchase gift cards
I’ve had an air fryer for over 3 years now and I’ve only used my oven twice in all that time. At Christmas. Last Christmas we turned it on and it was sulking and just kept blowing the fuses so I guess it’s now just a glorified cupboard. 😂
This video was really helpful to know the size of the fridge and freezer for our upcoming family trip, thank you!
Grrat video! I bought this model a couple days ago, and I'm getting mad to not have an option to mute the sound of it tbh. It's pretty annoying
😆😆 Oh dear… sorry!
Great review, the detail is a major bonus
Thanks!
We've had our AF400 for 5 months now and it's awesome. Max Crisp is great. 240 degrees for 6 minutes does perfect crumpets!
Love a crumpet… even better with a nice bit of cheddar on top!
@@CandidClara Marmite for me!
How can I get food crispy
Lots of ways to answer this, but the short answer… use a bit of oil and finish it off on a high temperature
Great article-:)
Thank you!
