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

This thing really works great. The features are amazing. It preheats your setting and then starts to countdown. You can stop it at any time and make adjustments to the settings. My 2 favorite things about this unit is: you can cook 2 things at once and they finish together and I finally can make perfect bacon without any mess. The oil drips straight down into the drain pan, which if you wrap in foil, can be rolled up and discarded, then a quick wipe out of the inside and you are done. I had an air fryer before that also cooked great bacon, but it was impossible to clean. The heating element was in the same closure as the oven, and I could never get that thing clean. The Ninja has solved this problem. The air fryer is in the bottom oven and the elements are in the top. The fan brings in the heat allowing the 6 surfaces in the bottom oven to be basically flat and very easy to clean. After making bacon I just let it cool (it also tells you when it is no longer hot) give the inside a spray of kitchen cleanser, wipe with a paper towel and done.That's the features, as for how this thing is made and appears, I have to say that I am very impressed. It is very solidly made and it is a very attractive appliance, mostly stainless steel with black trim.I only write reviews when I find a quality product , or a total piece of junk. This is certainly the former.

Got this to replace my previous toaster oven when it quit working.I have never had an air fryer before but this is amazing! Great design and the double doors make it easy to have multiple things at once.This machine is well made and appears to have quality parts. Cooks evenly and as expected in every mode I have tried.This toaster oven/air fryer is more expensive than others, but also not the top of the price list. I do think the value for the quality and features is great, and I do recommend overall.

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!!

The size is very good. Having 2 ovens in-one is a plus. Air-fry works great.Have been using it for several months now and found that toasting takes longer than it did in the first few weeks. Very noticeable difference.Two negatives:1. There is a cooling fan that runs after the oven stops (for ALL functions). It runs insanely long and does not seem to serve any purpose. Nor is it detecting the temp. Tested this by unplugging and plugging back in. The fan did not kick back on, so it must be on a fixed timer. All products have a "mean time before failure (MTBF)". My theory is the cooling fan will wear out far sooner than it should and might render the oven useless. So I've put the oven on a short power strip to cut power and stop the fan from running. No toaster oven (or toaster) I've ever had over many decades has every had a post-op cooling fan.2. The lower oven does not have a broiler element. You can only broil in the top oven. Not terrible, but did not expect that.It does otherwise operate very well. The outside skin stays remarkable cool when cooking. There is a "slight" bleed-thru of heat from the lower to the upper oven, but doubt it's enough to have any real effect on top-baking time/temp.

Really like this oven. I mostly use the air fryer, but the upper toaster is nice too. Fast. I air fry mostly everything. Fries, onion rings, chicken, egg rolls, buns. It's endless. Everything comes out perfect. My only complaint is, it only comes with one crumb tray. So you have to choose, top or bottom oven. If I'm making toast or waffles on top and air frying on the bottom oven, I have to choose where to put the crumb tray. Both compartments should have a crumb tray. Easy to pull out and clean. Otherwise, we really like this oven. It is heavy and well made.
