Foodi Smart Dual Heat Air Fry Oven, 13-in-1, Silver, SP351

Love this thing. I have used one for years and you can do just about anything in it in a short amount of time. Heats up quickly, cooks food evenly. I have used almost all the setting and the sear/crisp is my go to. It will make that nice crisp thin outside and the juicest inside. There is nothing that I have found that compares. It flips up easily and if you wipe down the door in inner walls when it is cooled off it will stay looking nice. I saw this one on sale (almost 46%) and I scooped it up.

First, read the entire instruction booklet. There is a lot of good information that will help you have good results. Be sure to wash the racks well and do the 20 minute bake prior to placing any food in the oven. There is definitely an odor as any remaining manufacturing oils burn off. There is no odor after doing this. I was not prepared to love the Ninja Flip. I expected a multi-use appliance would be mediocre with most features, but a friend raved about it so I decided to buy one. So far, I love it. Cookies baked beautifully, green beans were tasty, and the toast was just about perfect. Next up is to cook a small steak to try the thermometer. The cookie recipe was from the provided book. I like my cookies small and a bit undercooked, so I shortened the cooking time to 5 minutes for the first 2 batches and the 3rd batch at 4 minutes. The undersides of the cookies may look burnt, but they were not. The instructions for green beans stated to air fry for 10-12 minutes. I set the timer at 11 minutes. They were a little darker than I prefer, but still moist inside and delicious. Next time I’ll set for 10 minutes. The mode, time and temperature had to be re-set after each batch of cookies. I wish it had remained on, but it is a minor inconvenience. Also, I wish the timer would not begin the countdown automatically after it has reached preheat. You lose 15 seconds or so placing the food in the oven. Some reviewers commented that the basket being difficult to clean. I found it easy—filled the sink with hot water & suds and as soon as the basket was cooled, I let it soak. With just a sponge, it cleaned up nicely. It’s early—I’ve only had it for a few days, but my first impressions are that it’s well built, fries, cooks and bakes well, and when flipped, takes little space on the counter. So far, I believe it is a good value.

This thing is the bomb-diddly. I like my counter tops clean and clutter-free, and normal air fryers just take up too much space to leave out. This tip-up function is pure genius. You get a huge interior air fryer, toaster oven, or dehydrator that only takes up a fraction of its in-use size when in the upright position. The light didn’t work on the first one delivered, so it was returned and replaced. The packaging is very good, but the light bulb itself might be incandescent as opposed to a tougher and longer-lasting LED. I don’t really know, but it didn’t work. The controls on this are very intuitive, and the many functions are effective and easy to use. There are two LED panels on the face of the oven, and they both have large, easy-to-read numbers and letters. I love that there is a “target temp” and an “actual temp” reading. I also love that you can turn the light on inside at any time to see what’s going on in there without opening and letting all the heat out. The basket holds a ton of food, but you should keep whatever you put in there in a single layer. Still, it can cook 2 or 3 times what average air fryers can cook in a single go. The three heating elements evenly span the entire bottom, and we haven’t noticed any hot spots or had to carefully place bread to get an even toast. It just works, and it works well. You get an air fryer pan, a toast rack, and a very heavy, nonstick baking pan that can be used for anything from frying eggs to baking biscuits to cooking a steak. One thing to note is that the heavy pan must be removed from the oven if using either of the other two cooking pans because the heating elements are on the bottom and would be blocked by that. We haven’t had a chance to use the temperature probe yet, but it appears well-made. The little silicone rubber flap that covers the hole is not great; it’s hard to get closed properly and likes to come out at the slightest touch, but it’s not a big deal. The probe and cord wrap around a magnetic keeper that you can store on the oven itself, so you can find them when you need them. I think my favorite thing about this is that it flips up and out of the way when not in use. When you’re done cooking, the convection fan on the right side continues to run for about 15 minutes until it’s cooled enough to tip up. When it is cool enough, the display says “Flip”. The fan is very quiet, and unless you live in a monastery, you won’t even notice it’s running unless you get right up on it. There’s a crumb- and grease-catching tray at the bottom, which is easy to remove. We’ve wrapped it in aluminum foil, and that’s been working well. The manual says not to use any chemicals other than dish soap, and no scrubbing pads or anything other than a soft cloth. That’s not typically enough to fully clean (to my standards) the interior after grease from air frying has been baked on, so the flip function not only works well for reclaiming space but also to keep your guests from seeing a less-than-spotless oven. Bottom Line: I love this thing, and we use it all the time. We no longer need a toaster, a toaster oven, an air fryer, or a dehydrator. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s worth it. I hope this helps!

Only have had this for a bit over a month. So far very happy with it. This replaced a medium sized tabletop convection oven/toaster and using for “frying” instead of a micro/convection/air fryer combo and an oil deep fryer. PROS: ++Very good with frozen foods like French fries etc ++Large capacity air fryer basket. Especially helpful when doing large number of items since a deep fryer may only take a few minutes to fry something when this might take 20. ++Great for spur of the moment cravings for French fries or tator tots without having to pull out deep fryer, fill with oil, wait for it to heat up, fry, then clean up, strain oil, etc ++Does a good job with toasting- not the best with evenness but perfectly acceptable. I mainly eat sliced rounds of sourdough bread, so much larger than “regular” bread so they will not fit in a pop up type toaster. It definitely does a better faster job of toasting than the convection/toaster oven it replaced. ++Love the temperature probe. I even took a chance on cooking thick ribeye steaks in it. Used the sear tray and turned the steaks over half way through cooking. Put the temp probe in the steak before starting and the oven turned itself off at the correct temperature and after letting the steaks rest as usual after cooking, they came out perfectly medium rare with a decent crust on the outside. Though not quite as good as a cast iron pan or a grill they came out great. Also the temp probe temperature matched my instant read thermometer. ++Love that it has an oven light that you can turn on and see what’s going on inside. Especially helpful to me when doing toast. As I haven’t yet gotten used to the proper setting (time) for toasting ++Like that it will store upright to free up counter space. I just put the three trays inside then fold it up. I hadn’t realized how much space that the oven it replaced took up. CONS: —Made fried chicken. I like chicken thighs so they have a lot of fat in them. I breaded them as usual and did two batches. I used the temp probe which was very helpful but the chicken only came out so so. It was edible but no where near what deep frying in oil would do. Chicken itself was cooked and juicy but the breading had much to be desired. Biggest issue is that there is nowhere for the fat and juices to go except drop onto the lower heating elements and bottom pull out ‘crumb tray’ — It is not easy to clean. After doing chicken and the steaks trying to clean the inside was a frustrating time consuming effort. After I had done the chicken, I cleaned it as well as I could then ended up running the oven at 500 degrees for about an hour to burn off the residue remaining. Filled the house with smoke but got most of the residue out. Still see ‘stains’ where stuff/fat had splattered. — The glass in the door is inset so when you pull out the fry basket or toast, the crumbs just fall into the deep set window, it’s like a pool that just catches everything. OVERALL: I am really happy I purchased this. The large capacity, toasting and to my surprise -when cooking two steaks that were almost $60- cooks steaks satisfactory++ though not as good as a grill. The temp probe accurately shuts down the oven when cooking. Do have to obviously adjust cooking time with prepared frozen foods/French fries etc due to freezer temperature. The freezer in my refrigerator is at about 28 degrees while my deep freezer sits at about -5 degrees. Does a good job at toasting bread. Folds up to save on counter space. Without being too picky about it since still on a learning curve on how to use it… biggest problem is it is not easy to clean, the deep set window in the door that catches every darn crumb and no ‘drip tray’ to catch juices from air fryer basket. Overall impression of frying.. it’s great at prepared foods from freezer section at grocery store, it does take longer than deep frying in oil but less mess (French fries, etc) But for fresh made things like fried chicken, I’m going to have to use my Dutch oven on the stove to deep fry instead of using the air fryer, especially since I already gave my deep fryer away.

This thing has been nothing but great since we got it. The flip up feature is awesome! Saves soo much counter space. The controls take a hot minute to get used to; but once you know how they work, it's really easy to use. We good pizza, chicken fingers; toast bagels and bread, generally use the oven feature to heat up anything we don't want to heat the big oven for. We haven't tried the air fry part of it (we have a separate air fryer). We also haven't used the thermostat function. Having replaced my last toaster oven from years ago, we are very happy. It preheats very quickly. It has a preheat function where it tells you when it is preheating and when it is preheated. It tells you when it is cool enough to flip back up and store. It has an internal fan that stays on to help it cool faster when you're done using it. It doesn't seem to leak heat very much. Overall, very happy with my purchase. The box says it comes with kabob skewers. Mine didn't. It came with an empty plastic bag which look like it could have had skewers in it... The company claims they don't come with it. Amazon's listing doesn't mention it. Not sure why it's on the box.

I've had this oven for almost 4 months now and I love it. During that time I've turned on my regular oven maybe once a month, and that was only because there was already something in the ninja oven and I needed space for a second item to cook at the same time. I wasn't sure about the crisp searing function, thinking that I probably would only use it when I make steak, which is not that often. But instead, I've cooked almost everything on it. The nonstick surface is dense and well made. It can cook anything from fish to meatloaf or chicken or pizza, enough food for a family of four. And it cleans so easily! Let it sit in water for a bit and then rub with a Dobie pad and rinse until all the food comes off. (I don't know if Dobie pads are available nationally, but they are great on not any nonstick surface. It will return your nonstick pants to their original condition) I've tried most of the settings and they all cook better and faster than my regular oven. This oven made my life a lot easier!

This Multi-cooker Ninja does not disappoint 👍 Wow! As a guy who can't cook if his life depended on it, this little guy is a game changer on versatility and ease of use. You literally set it and forget it. It starts to heat to desired temperature of your choosing. Choose from a host of preset items like pizza etc. A cook list and temp is provided for air frying fries. Bake, Broil, Sear. Made some burgers and the depth of the unit allows for a lot mire than my previous toaster oven. It has internal fan that stays on after meal is done to properly cool down the oven. From waffles, breakfast sausages, gourmet burgers and sausages/hot dogs, pizzas, Steaks.-, air fryer all in one for Salmon too👍 Clean up and mobility is second to none it opens in back and front for cleaning plus it stands up out of the way if you wish. We took it outside for small grilling instead of our large built-in outdoors stoves and it just pops a sound when you are ready to devour the juicy burgers and treats. Highly recommended

I am currently on day 2 of owning this thing so, really, consider this a first impressions review. Firstly, the main draw: The flip-up feature. This really is a game changer and was chief amongst my reasons to buy this particular oven. I am happy to report that this feature works very well and gains me back a good amount of countertop space. It fits like a GLOVE flipped away under my wall cabinets. If you have low hanging wall cabinets, however, you'd do well to take a measure before purchasing to ensure you have access to this feature. This is what sets it apart from other products IMO. Secondly: The power cord. Its bad. Specifically, when plugged in, the power cord extends straight out from the wall and I think the manufacturer absolutely, positively should have opted for a low profile plug-in, especially since this is designed to flip-up to stow away. This is a serious negative as you're not able to place this in front of the power socket its plugged into without the front of the oven protruding past the countertop and nearly falling off. If you have a very small kitchen, take a moment to be sure you'll have adequate room. Finally, the real test: Cooking. So far, I have only reheated refrigerated pizza and air-fried some cheese sticks. To that end, this thing is a beast. The controls were easy enough to figure out without needing the manual. It has a great pre-heat feature which only starts running the timer after it gets to temperature, which is FAST. When set to 450F, pre-heating was less than 2 minutes. I was impressed. The food came out exactly as I hoped. They aren't kidding though, watch your food carefully when you first get it. Use the light. It can quickly burn your food if you're not familiar with convection and don't understand the lower cook times. My only other negative is theoretical: Cleaning. I don't think it will be TOO difficult, as the bottom tray is easy to lift out, but if you DON'T clean regularly I can easily see crumbs and debris piling up in the back when the oven is flipped up. I think the solution is probably just being proactive with cleaning it. For the lazy, maybe avoid this one. Overall impressions are very very good and, at the time I'm writing this, I'm not mad at the $170 sale price either. Go, Ninja, Go.

Usé esta air fryer por 11 meses y me encantaba. Ocupa poquísimo espacio en la encimera (¡un plus para las cocinas pequeñas!) y hacía todo lo que prometía. La seguí al pie de la letra: esperar que se enfríe antes de plegarla, darle su espacio y ventilación… pero de repente comenzó por apagarse a media jornada hasta que un día al tocar la perilla (mientras estaba en uso) me dio una descarga ligera y se apagó. 😬 Lo bueno es que Ninja respondió rápido y ya me están enviando un reemplazo. Eso sí, un poco más grande, lo cual no me entusiasma tanto (me gustaba lo compacta de este modelo). Pros: •Cocina bien y no ocupa tanto espacio •Garantía rápida Contras: •No duró tanto como esperaba Si te gusta lo compacto y eficiente, esta air fryer es buena. Y si te pasa lo mismo, la garantía responde rápido.

We purchased this item to replace our previous one who had unfortunately passed on after years of daily use. We ** L-O-V-E ** Ninja products. They are reliable and SO versatile.
