Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently order my very first air fryer. Well, it all honesty, I have a toaster oven that has an ‘air fry’ setting, but the results of this setting look nothing like the picture and videos on social media. It’s basically an oven with a fan. Meh. So, in search of the ‘crispy’ goodness I see online all of the time, I ordered the new to 2024 Ninja DoubleStack XL Smart 6 in 1 Air Fryer. I opted for this one for several reasons, but the biggest reason was the double basket design. In my previous ‘air fryer’ experience, I found that doing French fries for a family required two separate trays/rounds of cooking. This means that my fries took twice as long! Boo! I needed that second basket. Other things that I was looking for was built-in thermometer and easy to read display. The Ninja has both of those…and then some! My first test of the Ninja was (of course) French fries. Nothing fancy here—just cut up Russet potatoes with some seasonings. I used 4 medium sized potatoes and used both baskets for cooking. I used an online recipe which suggested the temperature and cooking time. I used the “Match Cook” function, which sets same temperature and timer for both baskets (nice), for 390 degrees and for 15 minutes. I pulled the baskets midway through cooking to shake and mix a bit. After 15 minutes, I took the fries out and….was disappointed. What? Yep, my fries were floppy and barely warmed. The suggested cook time and temp. was not going to work for me. So, they went in for another 15 minutes and ended up very good. Soft inside and a bit of crunch outside. Outside of the long cooking time, I was happy! Cleanup was pretty easy. The cooking surface and grates easily come out of the basket, and everything is dishwasher safe. Getting the basket to fit in the dishwasher wasn’t going to happen in my home, so I washed everything by hand. Everything came clean very easily, almost like they had a coating to make things easy. My next attempt was using the roast function on some seasoned salmon filets. I placed the filets directly on the cooking grates, but I wish I had placed something underneath the salmon. The drippings off my fish made a super mess! Oops. Live and learn. Moving on…I again followed an online recipe for temps and times…and again, I was left with undercooked food. I’m not sure if it’s something with the Air Fryer, or are these recipes overly optimistic? I put the fish back into the air fryer for another round, and it came out perfectly. The fish had a lovely, crispy outside and delicious and juicy inside. It didn’t dry out the fish at all! Loved the final product here. Cleaning after cooking the fish was a much bigger mess than the fries were. Everything had drippings on it and those drippings solidified while I was eating. Thankfully, everything came off pretty easily with soap and water. No need to soak or anything like that. Just a bit of scrubbing. I haven’t used the thermometer quite yet, but I plan of doing a beef roast in my DoubleStack soon! Using what experiences, I have with the DoubleStack XL Smart Air Fryer, I can attest that it’s a tech-forward, competent cooking appliance. It’s small enough to fit underneath your existing cabinets too. I do have some questions about why everything takes so much longer than what social media videos and recipes suggest. I will note that the included manual has suggestions for all types of foods, and the OEM suggestions were very accurate to what I noticed. So maybe I’ll just stick with the manufacturer suggestions and not social media. Other than that nit pick, I’m perfectly happy with my order and would recommend to a friend.

As a long-time fan of Ninja products, I was happy to get the Ninja Doublestack XL 2 Basket Air Fryer which definitely lives up to the brand's stellar reputation. Ninja has its own distinctive style, and this air fryer fits into that mold with its sleek design and functionality. Despite being an “XL” model, it isn't overwhelming in size and fits nicely on my countertop under the cabinets without hogging too much space. At first glance, I was a little intimidated by it. With essentially being four air fryers combined into one unit, complete with a central control panel that looks like a mini command center, I was nervous about messing something up. But, after breaking my usual habit and reading the instructions (which, admittedly, I rarely do), I found it surprisingly simple and fun to use. It has all the standard functions you'd expect from an air fryer—like air fry, roast, and bake—but what really sets it apart are the smart functions that allow you to cook multiple meals at once. Whether you want to sync two baskets to cook them at the same time and temp, or use them separately for two different meals at different temps, the flexibility is incredible. You can cook a full meal for a family of 2-4 people in a fraction of the time it would take using a conventional oven, plus it saves energy and helps keeps the house from heating up when using the oven. For me, it's perfect for quick meal preps—throwing in some chicken and fries and getting a quick dinner ready in no time. But my wife, who has a flair for gourmet cooking, absolutely loves this thing. She’s always trying new recipes with it, and I’ve been reaping the benefits! Not to mention, she raves about the easy cleanup thanks to the non-stick baskets, which is a win for both of us. I can without a doubt highly recommend the Ninja Doublestack XL Air Fryer for anyone looking for a new air fryer or who doesn’t have one yet. This is not only a time-saver but also a versatile kitchen powerhouse that is easy to use and takes up very little space.

If you’re looking for a kitchen appliance that maximizes efficiency without sacrificing quality, the Ninja DoubleStack XL 2-Basket Air Fryer deserves a top spot on your list. This air fryer has a stacked design that allows you to cook up to four foods at once, making meal preparation not only faster but also simpler—especially for busy families. Space-Saving Design For me one of the standout features of the DoubleStack XL is its 10-quart capacity, this is to each it is 5-quart for each basket. The air fryer is 40% slimmer than my two-basket model, allowing it to fit under my cabinet. It is a little taller but saves space on the its width. Cooking Technology The air fryer baskets are independently controlled baskets allow you to prepare different dishes at the same time. The stacked meal racks are really cool, they enable you to cook on two levels within each basket, ensuring that superheated air circulates around both foods for an evenly crisp finish. I found this feature particularly beneficial during dinner prep, as it allowed me to cook veggies and proteins/meats side by side without any hassle. Versatile Cooking Functions The machine has 6 function settings, Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. I am guilty of just using the Air Fry. Smart Finish lets you cook two foods in different ways that are ready at the same time, while Match Cook easily duplicates settings across both baskets for larger meals. Maintenance Cleaning up after cooking was a breeze, just a rinse a wash by hand was simple. The baskets and crisper plates are also dishwasher safe, making post-meal clean-up less of a chore. Conclusion In conclusion, if you’re in the market for an air fryer I can highly recommend this one!

I was in need of an air fryer being that my old one gave out on me and needed one for my family. It is worth noting that I have a family of six so there are a lot of mouth to feed and sometimes not enough time in the day to do a whole lot. So, I value anything that helps me save time. Now you may think how can something like an air fryer save time? Once you have one or have used one this becomes apparent, it beats standing guard over a hot frying pan full of oil which can get messy real fast and is unhealthy if you consume fried foods regularly. You can use an air fryer to cook many types of food like you normally would in a frying pan or even an oven. You can look this up on YouTube or do a little research. :::General Thoughts::: The box was big and heavy but not heavy where you need another person. If memory serves me right it was a little under 25 lbs. Now this is an XL air fryer with two baskets to fry more at once. Now this double sized fryer is tall and not as wide as you would think. It fit on my counter top but I did run into an issue and I will touch on that later. I like that it doesn’t take up my whole counter but please do know that it is best to use this product and store it away if possible because if your place is anything like mine you just don’t ever seem to have enough counter space. When not in use I just place it on top of the fridge and it is out of the way. The baskets hold a decent amount of food, I have made fried chicken and asparagus and it truly is impressive just how fast the air fryer gets the job done. You can program each basket at a specific temperature and set a timer for each basket which is neat and it works well. Now I have owned air fryers in the past and most are not as easy to clean and this is not the case with this particular air fryer. I can really appreciate that because again anything that makes life easier and saves time is worth spending money on. The chicken grease & seasoning washed away in hot water and soap, and the second basket was equally as easy to clean. There is a crisper tray for vegetables and whatnot and then a rack for meat in both baskets. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - Easy to clean - Easy to use - Slim (but still chonky) - Can cook all sorts of foods Cons: - Power cord is extremely short. Now earlier I mentioned I ran into a problem and that problem was the power cord being so short. I have no clue as to why the cord is so short I can only use this on top of my stove because the cord does not reach the outlet by my stove. That is my one and only dislike the fact that the power cord is just too short. I do not dare use an extension cord because this is a device that uses a lot of power and gets really hot. :::Closing Thoughts::: Overall, this is a fantastic product with one issue and that is the power cord being way too short. If you can overlook that or feel comfortable using an extension cord then this may be perfect for you and your family.

Very cool unit! The Ninja - DoubleStack XL Smart 10 QT air fryer is a genius design! It is surprisingly compact yet offeres a totalof 10 quarts of airfrying capacity. But what's cool, is they break it up into two 5 quart drawers. To make it even cooler and more functional, each drawer can set for a different time and temp. In addition to all of that, each bin has an optional wire grate so you can cook 2 seperate items at the same time in each bin. This was clearly designed with a small foot print to save counter space. It was also designed to fit on the counter and slip in just under the cabinets of most modern houses. My house is a little older and it is just about a quarter inch too tall, but it should great for most. If that is not enough, it also comes with a built in thermometer so you can get that chicken (or whatever else) to the perfect cooked temp and remove whe it's perfect. They thought of everything! I have had multiple Ninja products over the years and I have never been dissapointed. So far, this air fryer meets my previous experience. Overall build quality is great. It's easy to use, intuitive and stunningly versatile! The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is that the chord strikes me as unusually short. I wish they would have added a few inches to the chord length. Other than that, this is an excellent choice and I would reccomend to a friend.

Ninja is slowly taking over my kitchen with all their appliances. The quality and convenience of their products are literally 2nd to none. The DoubleStack XL replaced my ol' reliable due to the amount of food it can cook at the same time. When I received the box, I initially feared that it would not fit on my countertop or just take up too much space. Once it was out of the box and even next to my old air fryer, the design was perfect for my needs. The 2 giant 5 quart baskets can cook up to 4 different types of food at the same time using the included racks. Not only can you air fry, there are 5 more options to cook with including Broil, Bake, Roast, Dehydrate and Reheat. So far with the food I make, I have only used the air fry, broil and reheat the most. Behind the display is the optional temperature probe you can plug into the bottom fryer (see pic) and can monitor the temperature to make sure perfect cooking. The picture does not lie by the way. I put an entire chicken into one of the baskets and it fit perfectly. Other things I loved to cook was crispy spicy chicken tenders that I cut into my salads, fries and tater tots. Everything came out delicious and extra crispy (especially when using the included racks). Another thing I did was reheat my mom's leftovers when she made me homemade eggrolls and potstickers. Also, I used to preheat my air fryer, but for the Ninja, it isn't required. I am almost using the Ninja on a daily basis when cooking my meals and just love it. One cool feature I absolutely love is the Smart Finish option. What I did was in one basket I put my chicken tenders and the other basket was fries. What it does is start the food with the longer timer 1st and when the other basket's cook time is reached, it starts that one so they both finish at the same time! No more setting up multiple timers and making sure I try to time things right or make 1 thing at a time making the 1st cool down too much. The other option is Match Cook. It does what it implies. If you are making the same thing in both baskets it matches the temp and timer to cook more quantity in half the time. As mentioned before, I love this Ninja DoubleStack and wished I got one sooner. I am spoiled with the features it includes and can't see myself wanting to use any other brand. The convenience of 2 baskets in 1 makes it a top choice for the market.

The Ninja Smart DoubleStack XL 2-Basket Air Fryer 10qt is a game-changer for anyone who loves quick, crispy meals with less oil. With its dual-basket design, this air fryer allows you to cook two different foods simultaneously, each with its own temperature and cooking time. This flexibility makes it perfect for families or meal prepping. The 10-quart capacity is large enough to handle meals for 4-6 people, and the Smart Finish feature ensures both baskets finish cooking at the same time, no matter the food type. Whether you're air frying, roasting, baking, or dehydrating, the Ninja excels in versatility and ease of use. The crisping performance is top-notch, with food coming out golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The digital control panel is intuitive, and the Easy-to-Clean non-stick baskets make post-cooking cleanup a breeze. However, it is on the bulkier side, so make sure you have enough counter space. Overall, the Ninja Smart DoubleStack XL is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to save time without sacrificing flavor or quality. Pros: Dual-basket design for multi-tasking Large 10-quart capacity Excellent crisping and even cooking Easy to clean with non-stick baskets Multiple cooking modes for versatility Cons: Larger footprint, requires ample counter space Can be a bit noisy during use

Coming from an older PowerXL 5.3 quart air fryer with 3 buttons, the new Ninja DoubleStack has 4 times more buttons and features that I never knew I needed from an air fryer. Not only does this new Ninja DoubleStack have time and temp like my older PowerXL, it also does Air Broil, Bake, Roast, Reheat, Dehydrate along with the standard Air Fry. The Ninja is double in cooking capacity as my older PowerXL and still fits underneath my cabinets while taking up the same footprint as before (see my pic). With the extra features and buttons, using the Ninja does have a bit of a learning curve. With two separate drawers, you first have to turn the machine on, select the basket, select the cooking mode, finalize your cooking temps and time and hit start. A lot more steps than simpler air fryers and this is where I would allow it because of the other advance features. Not only can you cook two drawers at different times and temps, you can also have them finish at the same time with the “Smart Finish” button. A good example where I would use this is when I make my kids chicken nuggets and French fries. The chicken nuggets need shorter time and lower temps than the fries. I put frozen chicken nuggets in the top drawer at 375f for 7 minutes. I put the frozen French fries in the bottom drawer at 400f for 15 minutes. Hit the “Smart Finish” button and the French fries will start, then the chicken nuggets will automatically start later so both nuggets and fries will be done at the same time. The ”Smart Thermometer” was complicated at first to learn but pretty awesome when you figure it out. What the smart thermometer does is that the Ninja air fryer has a built in temp probe you can plug in that you can monitor your internal temps and stop the cook accordingly. I tried chicken breast and it worked amazing (see pics). I first put Brussel sprouts coated in olive oil and salt in the top drawer at 400f for 15 minutes. Then seasoned and placed chicken breasts in the bottom drawer with the temp probe in the meat and plugged into the front port. Set which type of protein it is, my desired doneness and the time will automatically be set based on how it’s cooking. Chicken should be cooked to 165f internal temp and the air fryer automatically turns off when it hits your desired temp. No more guessing and poking your meats with a temp probe. Simply set and forget! In summary, I do highly recommend this air fryer to anyone that has a large family to feed. It’s relatively a small footprint for the capacity and all the features will make you feel like a complete cooking pro. The many buttons and different cooking modes can add complexity and might not be for you if you’re only looking simple time and temp type of cooking.

Pros: Air fryer works very well and is super easy to clean. The size and dual baskets may it very easy to cook either small or large quantities. Most appliances make it easy to spot temperatures like 300, 325, and 350 but it's not as easy to spot 335 or 345. This model makes it very easy since it uses buttons and allows you to set in 5-degree increments. I love that. The stacked design saves a lot of counter space. I'm very short, and I was hoping that this thing wouldn't be too high. I was concerned that I may not be able to look down into the top basket easily - but that has not been a problem for my 4'9 height. Neutral: This model is noisy - especially the cooling down period after a cook is completed - but the good news is that the cooking down noise doesn't last for more than a minute or two. Cons: In my opinion, the temperatures don't have enough flexibility. In Air Fry and Reheat Mode, the range is only 300 to 400. If I want a higher temp, I am forced to use a different method such as Broil. If I want a lower temp, I am forced to use Bake or Roast, which both go down to 250 but max out at 400. If the temperature range had more flexibility, I would have given it 5 stars.

This air fryer makes cooking for a larger family easy peasy. Each basket already has twice the ability of most air fryers with the metal rack that creates two levels. I've owned several air fryers and I don't know why this isn't a standard feature. Not only does it create more space, but the rack allows more air flow to the food on the rack, making food extra crispy! One basket would already make me happy with the cooking ability, but there's two! So many options with this air fryer. You can make a meal with mains and sides with the touch of a few buttons. This air fryer also features a meat thermometer so you can cook meat without worrying about it getting overdone. I never thought to cook steak in an air fryer, but tried it out with a piece of flank steak, and it came out with a nice char and perfectly cooked to medium rare (with french fries cooking below it). The one main con about this air fryer is the size. It is tall and long. I can't think that many people have a cabinet tall enough for this air fryer to be stored in. I luckily have one cabinet, but it is higher up, and because this device is also on the heavy side, I have to be the one to put it away and get it out. So just a consideration if storage is a concern for you. It's also on the loud side when it cooks. One cooking tip: it has suggested cooking times all over the materials, but I feel it cooks faster. So just monitor your food until you get used to the cooking power. All in all, definitely the best air fryer I've ever used. Highly recommend!

Great air fryer. Great for cooking multiple foods. My girlfriend loves it.

I absolutely love the Ninja Stacked Small Space Air Fryer! As someone who values efficiency and organization, this air fryer is a game-changer. The stacked design is perfect for small kitchens or limited counter space, yet it still offers plenty of capacity to cook meals for my family. One of the standout features is the dual independent baskets, which allow me to cook two different foods at once without flavors mixing. It’s incredibly convenient for preparing a full meal without having to use multiple appliances. Plus, the Smart Finish technology ensures everything is ready at the same time—no more juggling cooking times! The air frying function delivers crispy, delicious results with minimal oil, and I love that it can also bake, roast, and reheat. The controls are user-friendly, and cleanup is a breeze with the nonstick, dishwasher-safe baskets. If you’re looking for a space-saving, versatile air fryer that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Ninja Stacked is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it!

I've had the same old front loading air fryer you'd typically see, I was looking to upgrade to the 2-Basket Air Fryer that Ninja has, this is the end seems like the winning ticket. The double stacked design makes this just as big as our existing air fryer, but moving the controls to the side allowed both 5qt compartments to simply stack on top of one another and save some space on our counter. In the box your get the Ninja Doublestack XL and a guide and a couple other informational pages. The thermometer sits behind the control panel ready to use when needed. Both 5qt compartments have a rack inside to crisp on the bottom and crispier top. The quick start guide provides a few meal ideas and some cook settings and times for guidance. Air Fryer is the main part of the title that stands out at first, but it has quite a few features to provide you with more meal options in one machine. Each tray can be set individually or you can match cook allowing the same cook, temp and time to both. The Ninja DoubleStack XL can be used to Air Fry, Air Broil, Bake, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate. As mentioned before, I was looking for an air fryer with two compartments, the boys always like to have their frozen snack and never wanting the same. This gives the option to heat both up independently, not having to wait for one to be done before cooking the other. If you pull open the basket it will continue the cooking cycle, so be sure to pause as it doesn't automatically do this. These multi-functional machines that Ninja has out are great! We have mostly been using this for Pizza Rolls, Corn Dogs, Chicken Tenders and Nuggets. The Air Fry functionality is amazing and shows off the sort of crunch you can get with a well made machine. I am curios to see if I can find some other recipes online, the one that I am looking to do is the meat loaf, really curious to see how that would come out!

We have used this a handful of times now and it works very well. I made wings a couple times and I can not say they come out better than in the oven but easier. You do not need to preheat a large over so its faster. It is easy to clean. You still need to turn the wings over to get them even but if you don't you will still have good wings. It makes a really good Ribeye and gives you a nice caramelized finish on the outside. I am sure as we get better at using it I will dial things in for an even better finish. They demonstrate two layers of food for each try, and I feel like that would affect how well air circulates and would diminish results. That said I have not tried it yet so it is just an opinion right now. We made a whole chicken as well, took it out early twice and cut into it each time to find it was not done. That will take practice. EVEN WITH cutting it when we did remove it the chicken was really moist and very good.

Waiting on the oven can be a war with inpatient children. With this you get all your snacks and frozen stuff in a quarter to half the time, and usually cooked to perfection. 2 trays means you can cook your meal at once but items can have different settings.

The stackable air fryer is so much better than a single basket. And it doesn’t take up any more space than my old one.

When my wife and I first got a no name brand air fryer, we weren't about it. We got this through a Best Buy drop on a whim and have used it in some way for almost every meal since we got it. The multi-level per basket has us making 4 things in it at the same time. The smart cook feature lets us put in different items at different temps for different times and it syncs it up to be done at the same time. Lastly, we don't really have a ton of counter space so the stacking baskets make this the perfect space saving option without sacrificing the basket space. 10/10, would recommend to my best friend and worst enemy

I love this air fryer! I love that it takes up less space and I can cook four things at the same time. It’s amazing.!!

Doesn’t make things as crispy as our last air fryer, takes longer to get that point but still a good machine and like that I can cook multiple things at once.

Bought for my wife while deployed for Xmas she absolutely loved it!!! Made like 6 meals in 2 days happily!!
