Ninja DCT401 12-in-1 Double Oven with FlexDoor, FlavorSeal & Smart Finish, Rapid Top Convection and Air Fry Bottom , Bake, Roast, Toast, Air Fry, Pizza and More, Stainless Steel

We've had a couple of air fryers, the basket kind that took up too much space, for the limited things that it would do, and the toaster oven kind from a brand that is outfront with certain pot that they make...This toaster oven with its two separate ovens which seems crazy but it's fantastic, does not use convection in the toasting top part of the oven. Instead of desiccating toast with hot convection waves, this actually toasts like real toast, you can put it on the rack or, I prefer oven toast on a small cooking sheet pan. This is like the toast I grew up with the toast that your grandmother or mother made in the oven! You can put butter on it and it comes out crunchy, not like a piece of sandpaper, as the toast from a convection oven does.That alone makes this thing worth it, however it has many other features that are user friendly, customizable, and helpful. So if you really do want to dry something out or cook it fast, the bottom of the will do that for you, and the air fry for french fries and fish sticks and chicken tenders, all of those things is fantastic and efficient and quick for an individual or a family. In fact the toast makes up pretty quick too because the top oven is very small so do not walk away. I've been accustomed to making toast for almost 4 minutes -- anow 2 minutes or so, you've got a nice medium brown piece of crunchy toast. Yes I'm obsessed with the toast! I really missed oven-type toast.It has a sweet little dinging tone for ending and selection that is not annoying like some of these models. Don't know if you can turn it off, I wouldn't want to because it's just the cutest little sound and is helpful.You have a dedicated instant on/off button. The knob selector that selects toast color and number or whatever function you need also punches in to lock that in. Once you are cooking, you can punch it to stop turn heat source immediately. There's also a button for a light that lights up both ovens, that stays on a fairly long time maybe 30 seconds. One tap and it's right back on again.It's slightly bigger than the "IP" brand that we had before, chunky little squareish thing. But it is much less wide than most of the multi-featured models out there, and of course it needs to be pulled out a little bit for hot air frying, cuz there's a vent on the back. The glass does get hot on the front, as of course it should.The two doors on this model are fantastic. You don't have to move stuff out of the way underneath, if your coffee is waiting for your toast to be done. You punch in the top button and open just the top shallow toaster oven, so there is no need to open all of the door that comes all the way down to the countertop. When you're making toast or Pop-Tarts or bagels or whatever, you only need open/close the top door. I love that little top flip door. You don't have a big hot oven spreading heat into the kitchen when you flip up in that little door.In fact both of them are well insulated even though the glass gets hot it does not spread heat into the room like our other brand. So you don't feel heat all the way from the countertop to the dining table as we had before.And it's quiet, so so quiet compared to the screaming multi-function oven we had before that sounded like a C-130 landing for 30 minutes.My one complaint and this is true of most appliances, when you have to burn and break in the new appliance. I thought I was going to leave the house. It is that disgusting and dizzying and miserable. It's much like self-cleaning your regular oven, it is smelly and sickening. There's just no way around it though. It has to be done before use, but I would recommend plugging it into the garage or even on a patio or something because inside the kitchen the smell of the burning off of the factory, really permeated the atmosphere in a miserable way. Turn your air purifiers way up, and the vent fan on your stove!Other than that it's a fantastic little appliance if you don't need to cook huge things. You could probably just live with this as your one and only oven. I'm not sure if you can bake cakes in it as you could with our other one, but I bake cakes in my big range anyway. I believe you can cook a whole chicken in this though. We use ours for toast and Pop-Tarts and bagels and warming up things reheating things, re-crisping things. There are a lot of things we microwave for a minute or so and then crisp up in this kind of oven and this does all of that very well. Another issue is that I toast buttered flour tortillas quite often, and I have burned up a toaster oven when the tortilla puffed up and touched the heating element. I heated up frozen flour tortillas, handmade by the way, so they are extra thick -- and I stood by and did not take my eyes off of the tortillas that were on a toaster oven size baking pan. I don't know if they just happened to be not puffy or if the freezing protected them from puffing up, but I successfully toasted some flour tortillas that were delicious. If you're going to do that, as with toast or bagel don't walk away, keep your eyes on that little top oven because it cooks really fast. So I'm crossing my fingers that I will have future successful toastings of flour tortillas.I really highly highly recommend this, especially if toasting bread is something that you do on a regular basis because the other air fryer / convection ovens do not have this extra little separate oven that is just a regular toaster oven. This makes all the difference. I've been suffering with desiccated bread from hot convection wind for a couple of years now, and it was such bliss to eat a regular piece of toast again that was cooked very quickly without having to heat up my huge oven that would have taken 20 minutes probably. Butter up a piece of bread throw it in on a little baking sheet, and you have some darn good crunchy medium toast in under 3 minutes, anyway. Pick your toast shade!Buy this thing you'll love it for the other functions as well. I first purchased an air fryer after having my gallbladder removed so I could enjoy crispy things without drowning them in oil. It's been 10 years, and we use an air fryer several times a week. High power 1800w so don't plug it in at the same time you're using another powerful appliance. This one shares a wall outlet with a coffee maker and can opener, is all.Worth every penny!!

This Ninja double oven gets used almost every single day. I’m not exaggerating. From leftover pizza 🍕 and kid nuggets 🦖 to garlic bread 🧄 and chicken breast 🍗, I’ve found a way to use it for almost everything.It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and actually looks good on the counter ✨ The dual oven setup? Total game changer. I can throw nuggets in the bottom while toasting garlic bread up top, and they finish at the same time. No tray juggling. No weird timing issues. Just hot food, ready when I need it.Reheat mode is solid, but let me tell you, I use Air Fry mode to bring leftover pizza back to life 🍕🔥 Seven minutes and it’s better than day one. Crispy crust, melty cheese, no soggy regrets.The air fry function alone replaced my old standalone air fryer, but this one does so much more. Toast 🥯, bake 🍪, roast 🍗, dehydrate 🍓 it’s a multitasking beast. Even the built-in thermometer saves me from second-guessing chicken. It’s juicy, not raw, and I didn’t even stress about it 🙌One of the best parts? There’s no Teflon coating anywhere inside. That alone makes it worth the price 💯 especially since I’m using it daily and cooking for my kids. I feel way better knowing I’m not heating up mystery coatings every time I reheat nuggets or toast garlic bread.Quick tip:When reheating pizza, toss it on the air fry rack with foil under it (don’t cover it). Set it to Air Fry, 7 minutes and you’ve got revived, crispy, better-than-delivery pizza 😮‍💨If you’re even thinking about it... this is your sign 🛒 It’s the only appliance I’ve ever used more than I thought I would👏🔥🍽️

Bigger than I thought but it works really well. I mostly use it for toast and re-heating items that would get soggy in the microwave. You might need to experiment to get the settings and results you want but it's worth it. On the down side, it has a very short cord. I have very limited counter space and only one outlet available. So I had to buy an extension cord that could handle the draw to move it further away.

Arrived today Did not have to read the manual Everything was easy to understand & set The digital display & easy touch controls feel high end There is only one crumb tray.. I have ordered a second to place under the airfrying basket at the bottom of the second oven to catch juices as putting a roasting pan on the rack beneath it no doubt would affect how evenly food airfrys There is a 2 min preheat before airfrying begins & a cooling fan that runs when the airfrying stops The fan did not seem to run if i left the door open so if the fan running irks you & you dont have littles you can just leave the door open until it cools just know that the door does get hotI will try toasting a bagel next but plan to use bake function & set my preferred temp as opposed to using the preset 'bagel' setting since someone mentioned it torched their bagel Noticed the heating elements in the top portion do not seem well protected so aluminum foil will definitely be a must when baking things where cheese or grease may dripAll in all i really enjoyed the first use of this appliance Its a bit hulky size wise but still space saves since it truly is a 2 in 1 Ill be interested to see what cant be cooked in this 12 in 1

This appliance is my favorite thing I own. I no longer use my oven because why would I? The air fryer hype is a thing because it is a thing. Everything is cooked to perfection. This is a great thing to have if you enjoy entertaining, came in handy for holidays when I needed more than an oven. I have been using it for almost a year. It has held up well, I do clean it often.
