Been watching your videos for a couple months now while learning to use the Foodi 6.5, and we've loved everything we've made so far. Your instruction is so simple and well explained, and the results have been awesome! The rib eye with smashed potatoes is our favorite so far, and those potatoes have been made with many other things as well. They are SOO good!
My wife has always been the cook in the house(not the best by her own admission), while I'm an OK cook for anything that comes out of a box LOL. BUT, I have done just about all of the cooking in the Foodi, so you've converted a non-cook. So much so, I knew I needed the oven too. The DT251 just got ordered on Amazon today, and I'll be looking forward to following your videos for the new toy.
Not sure if anyone else has found this yet, but the DT251 if not even listed for sale on the Ninja site today(2-24-21), and the DT201 is listed as unavailable. I had looked earlier this week, and both were listed an available. Anyway, thanks again for teaching this non-cook to use the Foodi with your great videos!!
That is really good to hear!!! I'm glad to know I helped and you have enjoyed my videos...I love the oven and I feel sure you will too... can't wait to hear what you think of it...thanks again and thank you for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders You left me hanging wanted to see you bake a 11 pound turkey or a five pound chicken.
OMG! YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! I was curious about that thermometer but never expected you to buy one! Thanks so much for your time and all you do!
You are very welcome...I knew I would never be satisfied...lol...thanks for watching!!
Already bought this for my mother for Christmas. I'm sure she will love it considering she needs a new small oven to bake many delicious recipes.
Thank you John. I have the DT201 after seeing you do a turkey in it and I could not be more pleased with it🤗 Since it let's you put a manual probe in (which I have) I feel I have the right oven. Sometimes extra features is just one more think that can break. Love your very informative videos🤗😘
I do see your point and there is nothing wrong with the method you are using... it is a really neat oven that had many uses...thanks for watching!!!
Glad I waited! I’ll be getting the one with the probe. Thanks for the comparison video!❤️❤️
I think you will be impressed Sandra!!!
Thank you for all of your great reviews. They will help me make the best choice on my next purchase. Instructional videos are good too. Thank you for all your time in making these informative instructional videos.
You are very welcome... thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for the video. Both of them are very helpful. You are very thorough. I am excited to finally use the Ninja it has been in the garage for over a year. Much appreciated!
Hi John, First of all thank you for your informative reviews. You have helped me make informative decisions. Everyone kept telling me for years to buy a pressure cooker, I didn't use my slow cooker, but a couple of times a year and didn't think that I would use a pressure cooker, I was WRONG. After doing research and watching tons of youtube videos and yours was my deciding factor to buy one, let me take that back, I love my Ninja 8qt 10in1 pressure cooker/air fryer so much that I bought my daughter in law one (who's in love with it too). My husband saw a video of the Ninja toaster air fryer oven (the one that flips up) and thought it was a cool idea, I told him that I had a toaster oven and that I'd never use the flip up feature; it's impactable for me, because even if you flipped it up, you really can't use the space in front of it , then low and behold I came across this video...guess what I'm getting for Christmas? The Ninja Foodi Smart XL oven with temp probe. My poor kitchen stove rarely get used now that Ninja has taken over my kitchen. lol. Thanks again John!!!! Keep those great videos coming!!!
Very good to hear... Glad I have helped and I really think you will love this oven!!! Merry Christmas and Thanks for watching!!!
Didn't see it in action baking some chicken or turkey
Just bought one because of your videos!!! Now waiting on the mail man😁
You are going to be impressed!!! Thanks for watching!!!
John I mentioned to you on another video (and he did reply!) about getting the model with the probe. I've done 2 different streaks on 2 occasions set at medium and they both came out perfect! Pretty sure you mentioned you figured they'd have this model and so I waited. Not disappointed at all! Planning to cook a whole chicken this weekend! It's nice to probe it (ha ha), set it and forget it!
Thanks!
Glad to hear that about the steaks...I think air fried steaks are excellent!!! and it did make sense because they were doing it on other devices... this one makes even more sense to have the Probe than others due to the air roast function... but I had also saw it on one of their pages on ninja's website... but I do think it is a really good deal at $279 without the Probe just because of the results it produces... and comparing anything close to it in price... such as the Breville... thanks for watching!!!
I got mine yesterday can’t wait to try it out but I didn’t know it was three different models
I really don't think there is a bad one so you are going to love it... thanks for watching!!!
Thank you very much because you baked a turkey in the ninja foodi xl, I decided to buy one for my mother, since she wants to ease up on oily stuff. I must say compare to the ninja power airfryer, this xl does not require oil to bake and I like that a lot. Yesterday my mom put some fish in, and man it was like it was actually frying. This will change the way we make food, from now on. Yes our turkey is going in there too.
Very good to hear...I honestly think this is perfect for many situations and I think a lot of people would agree after using it... thanks for sharing that and thank you for watching!!!
Yep, I leaned I need to wait for the next model as I plan to get an air frying toaster oven to replace an old halogen toaster oven but the hot top will be an issue due to where it sits above the microwave. Good informative video which answered one of the questions I had about the ninja ovens.
Glad I helped and thanks for watching!!!
I just ordered the DT201. I was gonna get the dual zone 10qt air fryer, but after watching your videos I decided the oven would be more useful in my kitchen replacing the toaster and air fryer along with being able to bake in it.
John aka jelly 007 I wanted to compliment you on making great videos with helpful insight and knowledge you help me make a decision I recently received a 201 model from Amazon refurbished for $214 to my door, the unit looked brand new all the original accessory‘s were taped in there, keep up the great work!😷🍟🥩🍕
Bought the 201 after seeing your video. Love it and I’ve had the Breville and the Kalorik. Ninja is the BEST bar none!! Thanks for the videos
Thanks...I have never used the Kaori but this oven is really really nice... thank you for watching... and commenting!!!
Thanks Pamela for this post, I was thinking of the Breville, you saved me from a mistake.
I wouldn't be without one of these now. So accurate and fast, it cooks like clockwork.
I bought mine direct from ninja. Lastest model without the thermometer. No screen to mess with.. easier to clean. Comes with extra tray.. $239. special. Got it today. Works great.
Good to hear... your gonna love it!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I bought the one without the probe. After watching this, I wish I bought the one with a probe, but oh well. I got an amazing deal and was able to use a coupon on top of a sale so only paid $200 after tax. No complaints so far
You got a really good deal... it's really worth every dime!! Thanks for watching!!
Very nicely done. So glad you did this video. So many are confused about how this oven actually works. I certainly was. I totally agree...I Love This Oven. So glad I have it. Now what do I do with all the other stuff I have :))
Thank you...and thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for the information. All your videos are very educational. Hopefully one day I could afford to get one of these. I live in my rv and never use my oven. Something like this would finally get me to remove my old oven and put this in its place. Would really work for me. Don’t really need the probe. So I will probably just go with the 201 model. Thanks again.
I think this is perfect for a camper... glad you enjoy the videos and hope you are able to get one soon...thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for an awesome video. Looking forward to more!!!!!
Your welcome Frankie... thank you for watching!!!
The non splatter screen version I'm pretty sure works like my large wall convection oven. It doesn't need a splatter screen because the fan blows the hot convection air out and if you look on the back sides you will see there is on each side of the fan an opening and that is where the air goes back in to come out the fan and heat the oven. Just wipe clean the inside.
I have not actually saw the oven without the shield myself but I think they must have decided it didn't need it for what ever reason... but one less thing to clean and I'm good with that... the air on mine comes in the center and goes out the side openings...thanks for watching!!!
I'm waiting to see if they come out with a 251 with steam.
well after watching you John I upgraded to the Amazon version and my DT201 will be going to a friends daughter
She is gonna love you... Lol... And I think the temp probe upgrade has some good uses... Thanks for watching!!!
Thank You! I just bought mine after watching this!
It has a lot of uses... I've used mine for quite some time now
I love the high functions that you explained. Does it toast evenly too?
Another informative video. Thanks!
Thanks Betty and thank you for watching!!!
It looks to me like DT200 SERIES means any model between 200 and 299, with the specific model labeled elsewhere on the unit (or if not, their bad). No idea what the LP3 means, though.
Come on Jelly ,you got to wait for the one with the probe. That's cooking gadget buying 101.
Just kidding.
I know it's hard not to pull the buying trigger when a new product comes out that you really want.
I bet you will make good use of both ovens.
I really enjoy your videos!
Glad you enjoy my videos and thank you for watching them!!!
Costco has a deal on the more expensive one. 200! I was considering purchasing it and found your video while researching. Thanks!
My Ninja Foodi XL Air Fryer. Today. I'm going to do an unboxing by the average Joe. Just like I've done with my RC Trucks. After I cook with it a bit, I'll cook something in it. Personally I feel the Ninja Foodi is better, it can do more like Dehydrate, which is a big deal if you like beef Jerky or dehydrated fruit.
Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. May I please ask, how are the three ovens different? I did watch the video, carefully actually, and I'm not understanding how they are different from each other in terms of fans (convection), heat source, wattage, size? Are they different sizes? How are the fans different? Do they all do convection the same way; so they all have just that rear fan? Are they all the same power- same wattage? Again, thanks so much.
@Richard Charles appreciate this. Thank you.
Hello, great video thanks. I noticed the display on the model on the right was flickering very fast at the beginning of the video. Is it defective?
No...I meant to cover that in the video and I'm sorry I didn't... that is caused by my camera and it does not do that in person... or any time other that in this video...thanks for pointing that out and sorry I didn't address it... and thank you for watching!!!
i recently got the dt251 and it looks like its been slightly changed button locations are different and the thermometer buttons are dedicated by the thermometer plug in portion. i was confused and thought i got the wrong model looking at the reviews online of the dt251 but checked the box and its the same model slightly different button layout on the handle.
Another great video with great explanation!😊 A really good friend of mine subscribed to you by the way.
That is really good to hear and I'm glad you enjoyed the video...thanks for watching!!!
John, just received my DT251 from Amazon today, 1) they have a users guide solely on the DT251. 2) when registered it shows DT251 and finally 3) DOES NOT have a splatter shield, and does not have mounting holes for the clips.
I have an 8 and 10 inch pizza screen coming we’ll see if one of those work and the number 3 and or number 4 rack should hold it in place no problem.
Finally more recipes please.
You are going to love this oven... I'm a little worried about adding a screen... I plan to leave mine as is... most air fryers on the market do not have screens and I haven't had issues with any of mine that didn't... but... very glad to hear you got one and I can't wait to hear what you cook in it!!! Thanks for watching Kerry!!!
@@JohnSanders my ninja grill air fryer has a splatter screen, my OG air fryer has just a course grate and just behind it the heating coil and impeller
I just bought the one with a thermometer and there is a big dent in the side and when I did cook a pizza it didn't even cook evenly. Half was burnt and the other half the cheese was barely cooked. I really love the oven and will try to get another to see if the problem goes. But if it does the same thing I will return it too. It makes me sad something so nice ends up having problems. You must of got the good ones haha
I think the dent might be the cause of the heating issue... I hope all is well when you get your new one...thanks for watching!!!
Hello i love your videos , i was wondering what kind of Japanese knives you have to the left of ninja pro oven ? Curious are they sharp? Do they come with a sharpener?
They are Shun...I love them and they came with a sharpener with the set i bought... but yes... they are extremely sharp unlike anything I've ever had...thanks for watching!!!
I bought this over Costco Online for $200 on sale & lovin it
So does one need the dehydrate and reheat functions (the ones not part of the DT200 from Walmart)? I understand the functionality of a dehydrate option, but what is so special about a reheat function?
Great review by the way! Thanks in advance.
I do like those functions because it allows lower temps that I have used before and I use the reheat option a good bit... glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!
I just ordered the DT201 but received the DT200 (according to the back of the unit and the instruction manual). But it does have all 10 selections, not 8 as your video said.
I ordered it direct from Ninja. I'm confused.
Watch the video I have linked below for the past about scanning the QR code... let me know if this helps please...thanks for watching!!!
czcams.com/video/nxHC-I52iyY/video.html
So which model is it you like so much one of the two on the counter or the one we can't see,somehow i got lost and confused here
The two on the counter... either would do for what I need... the one on the tablet screen... or... the Walmart version does not have reheat or dehydrate and I assume it will not go below 200 degrees (but I have not confirmed that) and I do a couple of recipes I need to be at lower temps... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
John, this ought to interest you, and also others who have or ordered the DT251, it’s listed on Ninjas Website, but with no description, and no price. The DT201 now costs $279. Now this should shock everyone, Amazon only has the DT251 available from 3 third party sellers, now are you sitting down? The price is $557.99. Very Interesting, and it looks like the Dt201 is now on preorder status.
How long it takes to air fry fresh made fries (2 full size) and how long to whole roast a 5lb chicken does it roast evenly without turning? Need to know compared to corosi or other air fryer oven.
I have not done either of those in this device so I cannot accurately answer... maybe I will before long...thanks for watching!!!
Just purchased my DT251 at the Military Exchange for $213.99, it was a special price they were running today, they only had 10 that they just brought out and they were going in 45 mins, one Jerk tried to take someones that they had setting in their cart.
Dang!!! Glad to hear you got one... please let me know what you think!!! And thank you for keeping us safe!!!
I’ve used my MEATER to test how hot inside actually gets. It actually doesn’t get to temp for about 15 minutes.
Mine took 15 minutes to get to 350F. It took waaaay too long to cook anything. They sent me a new one and it only took 10 minutes to get to 450F. There's an obvious difference with my replacement unit so far. I've only had it for a couple of days and made a few things in it, but thus far, it's much improved over my last one.
I'm considering buying a new DT251 but need to know if Ninja resolved the interior rusting issue that plagued the DT200. In under 2 years mine is already saying "CUST SRV2" errors and randomly shuts off and takes 5-10 starts to work. Anybody know if they changed interior material to fix this?
John, I am an 80 year old trying to learn to cook for myself… I watched the video with the smaller ninja using the skillet for steaks.. Are the larger Ninjas necessary for 1 person?
I have never found those oven probes to be that accurate but they will shut the oven off so that’s good.
They can be off but I have tested the one I have and it was very close but trying to get it in the best spot is a little tricky sometimes... thanks for watching!!!
John can you recommend or do a video on what setting to do wings in this oven using 2 levels. I have this unit and have attempted per the book settings and my wings come out a bit pale and not crispy as expected.
I have not tried wings only on 2 level cooking... but I did the video I have linked below and I would think this would be close... other than adding some time possibly...
czcams.com/video/zxGXMPz8GNg/video.html
A tip I got from a friend AND it works great, is to sprinkle the wings with baking powder. I put some baking powder in a tine sive and sprinkle both sides of the wings. Turn wings half way through cooking time. They come out great.
I have a couple of videos where I have used baking soda myself and use it quite often... works really well...thanks for watching!!!
Nice! You can now cook a storm in both dt251 and dt201. I have the dt201 and was wondering if broiling the chicken drumsticks after airfrying would help giving the charred effect like the ninja XL grill does? Plz clarify as I am tempted to get the grill for kebabs.
Not sure about that but if you watch the video I have linked below you can see a cast iron skillet with ridges that I feel positive would do something very similar to what the grill plate in the grill does... hope this helps and thanks for watching.!!!
czcams.com/video/tnUkUjyMb9g/video.html
@@JohnSanders Thank you so much, I am a fab of lodge cast iron and have a similar one in lodge (I use it for panini sandwiches) but it doesn’t fit in the pro oven. The handle is too big. May be I will try on the stove.
Hey Jelly 007! Great comparison vid (per usual) 👍 Already gave my thumbs up and ordered one based on your review. My question is the Pro oven without a dedicated temp probe (the D201), can you manually set the temperature for food just like the D251 in your video? Thx, in advance + keep reviewing (I need more recipes) 😃
I'm not sure I understand but the DT201 does not have preset and you set the temp and time with the dedicated buttons... Hope this helps...
@@JohnSanders Yes, it does. Ty!
Hi john ordered the dt251 from amazon and did not get the splatter shield and noticed yours has it. Think I should call for swapping out
Not in my opinion but please watch my other video that covers this I have linked below...thanks for watching!!!
czcams.com/video/nxHC-I52iyY/video.html
I was looking at the Kalorik and the other fryer Cuisineart and they say they both smoke horribly,,does the ninja XL Pro smoke
It did a little in the video where I used the grill plate out of my Ninja XL Grill which was understandable but I don't remember any other times...thanks for watching!!!
We can only get the DT200 in the UK 😢, but there is dehydrate and reheat functions
Hope they come out with a model that you can bake 2 loaves of bread in. Steam would be nice too.
I have many videos on this oven... click this link!!! All my Ninja Foodi XL PRO Air Fry OVEN videos: czcams.com/play/PLEiaLoJ18qQYZELfQKF-ecJlwQlrm73xz.html
Does anyone know why you can't buy the Ninja Smart Oven with the temp probe from Ninja directly? I bought the one from Amazon, but you'd think the Ninja company would offer their own products.
I have not heard of a verified reason... I think it could be something Ninja did with Amazon... Some kind of Amazon exclusive or something but that is just a guess...
Hi Will the air fry basket and sheet pans from your dt251 fit into the dt201 or are they different size?
The ovens are the same size...thanks for watching!!!
What is the best one to buy I like the one with French doors
Hi John, On the DT201 can you use it with a wired thermometer where the wire is sticking out the door without effecting the function of the oven? It looks like the DT251 does just that except that probe plugs into the system. Also does the timer turn off on either one if you open the door to flip food in the middle of the cooking process? Thanks, Jeff
Yes the wire can pass through the door crack and that is how the DT251 does it... the oven turns off when door is opened...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders John, Thank you so much. So besides the SMART features such as shutting down when food reaches temperature, is there any other difference between the DT201 and DT251? Thank you, Jeff
Not that I am aware of... they are identical except for thermometer in my opinion...
Have they changed it again since this video was created ? The control pannel on the DT251 from amazon looks different than yours... The controls are layed differently plus it's got a Target and an actual temp display shown on the amazon page..
Hey Mr.Jelly. Not to change the subject on air frying toaster ovens.but Now that thanksgiving is coming on fast. When you gonna do a vid on deep frying a turkey? Be curious to see your process... just a thought...
I have considered a video and I may consider it...I do live a deep fried turkey and I have been doing them for years... I now have 3 ways I will be doing them this year for sure... deep Fried... green egg and now AIR FRIED!!! really excited to try them side by side... thanks for watching!!!
Great comparisons. Was afraid Walmart version was a tad smaller.
Thanks... glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!!!
Hi John,
My son gave me the Sp101 Ninja oven (folds back) but one look told me it was too small for anything! My Panasonic toaster oven has more clearance. Liked the functions on the Ninja but I could do most of those things with my trusty toaster oven. I asked him to return the SP101 and I started my search reading all I could find on these air fryer ovens... ins and outs. I realize they all get hot exteriors but an inch clearance speaks volumes against 5 inch mandatory clearance. I did my homework and requested the DT251 which is sold out everywhere and not available til February. I'm willing to wait no prob. My questions to you are these: is that splatter screen necessary? Even posts I read with replies from the manufacturer did not address this question. WHY would they eliminate it? It must help to keep the fan clean. Also, I've read comments concerning the fan noise. Can you address this too please. I've read the convos below; seems we must be very pro-active with these models and do tests for true time and heat settings.
I am not sure why they removed it and they have not explained it to my knowledge...I did temp test on one of each side by side and they were really close to each other... if I find out I will definitely let every one know... the fan noise is not an issue in my opinion...I have not found it to be any louder than other ones I have or have had... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders watched another video where fan sound was demonstrated there. Not truly a hindrance. And also mentioned, as one of your watchers had written, the fan powers flow in... the air exits thru the various vents. Still think a splatter screen might keep the fan cleaner but not having one probably saves Ninja money.
Can you use the temperature probe model DT251 without the probe completely manual like you could with the DT201?
Yes... it is no different when temp probe not plugged in...thanks for watching!!!
Thanks!
Well, I am certainly late to this video sadly. This video is brilliant. Let’s talk about the two versions and then there’s the eight and one that Wil mentioned from time to time lol. Having had an oven like this with the reheat button, you should never buy one of these without the reheat button. It is worth going to the 10 and one from V8 and one just to get reheat. It’s wonderful. Also, Amazon makes great thermometers that work in the oven that are wired that have a little box that sits on your counter. That saves you an amazing amount of money. You don’t get the smart stuff but for $18 you can see the temperature. That’s a good deal. Sidenote, just ordered the 201. Got it from the Amazon warehouse. Not used, like New, the box was damaged. $155, free shipping that’s like $120 off the MSRP. Fingers crossed.
Can you put wings in frozen like the ninja max XL model?
I haven't tried that but I don't see why not...thanks for watching!!!
Hello John, enjoy your videos. Love your collection of kitchen gadgets. I was wondering have you ever made eggplant parmesan in an air fryer? Would appreciate your version of it. I've recently purchased the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and have been experimenting with inspiration from your videos. Thank you!
I like hearing that!!! But I have never tried egg plant...I might look into that sometime though...thanks for watching!!!
John. I bought the one on right in your video It is 50 degrees lower than reading. Love the seal on the door but food takes too long or I have to hike temp up. Is this as expected?
Which setting were you using? I have found the bake feature is the only setting that this happens on...
@@JohnSanders Yes! We are definitely experiencing this with the bake setting. Have not tried all settings as of yet.
I think that is the only one that does that...I would just add 25 degrees to recipes that call for bake... or even try the recipe as is...
Wow I didn't know there was three versions I bought mine online from Best Buy when they delivered it it was broken so I went back to Best Buy ask them if they price match because I saw them for $250 but when I scroll down I saw it in Walmart for 200 so they gave it to me for that price even though I had the better version at the time I didn't know there was three different versions and I'm sure Geek Squad didn't know as well
That was a really good price...thanks for watching!!!
Been in the market for an oven like this, and was so unsure as to which to get. You made this so easy. I'm getting the temp probe one. Will give this you tube to family who are buying. We're Ninja Aficionados! If it's a Ninja we have to have one! It was $319, $345 with tax, on Amazon from the Ninja Store.Thank you so very much!
Glad to hear I helped and I can honestly say that I think you will be impressed with what this oven does...I love the thing!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Hey, have you cleaned your crumb tray off on your DT201? I hand-washed all the accessories including the tray on my new oven prior to use and it rusted... was very surprised. Contacted them and they are replacing the entire unit, makes me wonder how common an issue it is. I think when I get the replacement I will run the "proof" cycle before cleaning the accessories off!
I have washed it many times... no rust at all... and also I did not run the curing process of 20 minutes at 450°... maybe others reading have heard of this...thanks for sharing your experience...
@@JohnSanders Good to know, I must have just gotten a dud! Super excited to try out the new one. 😁
Great information. I did want to ask which one do you like better the Ninja 10 in 1 or the Breville air fryer pro? Thank you so much.
I like the Breville and it served us well but this new ninja had really impressed me... so the Ninja is my favorite at this time...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thank you for replying. Ive been undecided about which one I want. The Ninja or Breville. I think your video has helped me to decide which one will be a better fit. I was wondering however about the Ninja not having the proof feature. Do you think that a deal breaker ? I wanted to start baking more.
I don't really know a lot about proofing but as long as you get one of the versions with dehydrate I would think you could maybe use that... not sure though...
@@JohnSanders thank you. I appreciate you help.
Did you order the magnetic case for thermometer separately or did it come with it
I think I ordered it separate..
Do you have a favorite as some time has passed John? I’d love to buy one of these, just feel overwhelmed with trying to decide which model to buy!
I do like the DT251 but no really good reason... especially if you have wireless thermometers... the DT201 does the same thing without a smart thermometer... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders absolutely! Thank you. Just subscribed! Can’t wait to see more of your videos
I just bought the DT251 and it didn't come with a splatter screen. Should it have?
I think they have changed the design and left it off... but I have not confirmed that with anyone... maybe others reading can answer...
My wife and I are wanting to buy a ninja with all the features including dehydrate and reheat. Do you like you like your latest one you bought over your first one better? Thanks for making these videos. They are really informative.
The latest one I purchased was the new grill and I like it and will use it a good bit but I think traditional air fryers... or even one of these toasters if you need larger items is a better choice
How does the Ninja DT251 compared to your previous Breville smart Oven Pro?
1st.. TY again on letting me know in your other video that the dimensions 17.5 X 20.5 x 13.5 inches... the 13.5 is how tall it is. I figure 17.5 is how wide and 20.5 is how deep.. plus at least another inch from the wall.... Anyway.. I was looking (look at title, not watched yet) at your next couple of videos and you still used the DT201 are you going to start using the smart oven DT251 for cooking videos? Any difference in performance other then the probe? We just got a Breville and thinking of returnming it (its unopened). Is the ninja foodi smart oven the best? I notice it doesn't say convection oven but it has a fan and can do 2 pizza's at once. I think we were unsure if we wanted a convection toaster oven. Thanks
Yes...Those are the approx dimensions and I like the Ninja because of the fan design that seems to do better at not getting grease splatter on the window among other reasons...I have linked a video of my comparison of the 2 ovens...thanks for watching!!!
czcams.com/video/tnUkUjyMb9g/video.html
@@JohnSanders Do you have a preference between the smart xl or the pro xl? thank you again
I do like the smart... especially with it only being 20 dollars difference...thanks for watching!!!
Finally released the UK Variant (That’s what i’ll call it!) aka ‘DT200UK’ - Had to wait, at least, a year longer than you guys from across the pond - I’m torn! - Do I wait, who knows how long, for the DT201 & the ‘Smart’ versions you compare here? - Moreover, it doesn’t explicitly say XL anywhere on the imagery I’m looking at here on Ninja UK website - I ask because I’m also concerned whether or not the ‘Health Grill Plate & Pot’ (which I currently have in my basket) from the ‘AG301UK’ - because they’re smaller than from the ‘Max & Max Pro’ - will actually fit inside?! - Can you help/advise at all, please, Sir?
Ps: Love your work!
Rafael.
Did Prime Rib from John's recipe! Perfect!
Excellent... thank you very much for trying it and sharing your results...I will link that video below... thanks again!!!

@@JohnSanders u are most welcome Sir love your videos!
Thanks!!
You know its going to be good when "I'd done up and done it" starts it off
Lol... you know it!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Which company pizzas do you use in your demo?
So I'm looking at the DT251. I can get the DT201 on a great deal at Kohl's but wonder if the smart cook system is worth upgrading. Do you like it better than the DT201?
I do but there are thermometers on the market that might work out better depending on your particular situation... but nothing wrong with either of these ovens... just my opinion though...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders I have a thermoworks probe thermometer . Would it work the same if I used it with the 201 except it would not shut off the oven .
It will monitor the temps of the meat and the chamber...
Need to make my wife watch this so she will know what I want for Christmas.
Lol... that will probably work...thanks for watching!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really like this...but it doesn’t appear to be available at Ninja and on Amazon, it’s only available from another source priced at 599.99...I’ll be waiting until they are more readily available....thx for sharing this with us...
I do not blame you...$599 is too much in my opinion...I would definitely wait!! Thanks for sharing that and thank you for watching!!!
I have have some discussions with Ninja. They told me the DT251 will not be available on their site. They reccomend Amazon for 299.00. Amazon has it but is currently out of Stock
@@stab8ler I guess it’s like every thing else that’s new and a big hit, they sell out quickly, so I guess I’ll wait a while for it to be sold in more places...thank you for the reply...
John do you have a reccomendation for a platform to put the oven on to make it easier to move ? Thank you, Jeff Rubin
Not really...I have not looked into anything like that yet...I will keep it in mind...thanks for watching!!!
This thing does toast perfectly golden brown!
The white lettering is disappearing from my DT251. I had the 201 and that did not happen. I wanted to 251 to get the temperature proble. What do you suggest?
My Dt251 has not had that problem so I'm honestly not sure what the answer to this is...I would like to hear from others that have had this issue and hear if they know what caused it...
@@JohnSanders my white letters have disappeared also. After the first couple cooks, they just wiped right off when I cleaned the unit.
I'm not sure I know what to say... I've actually had 3 different ones and have cleaned the handle on all of them several times and have not had any issues at all...I even tried to remove them by scrubbing fairly hard with a abrasive pad... all mine are unharmed...I wonder if anyone has posted a video on this?
This oven would be "Smart" if it had a setting for sourdough bread! Temps of 80--85 f for proofing would've been nice along with the baking part. Can you put the probe into the dough and have it shut off at 205???? Not everyone eats meat. I'm disappointed. Is there a countertop smart oven out there that does that? I'm in the market for one. If you know of any, please let me know. :-)
We have the Walmart version and love it. Highest temp is 450°.
Nice... if you don't mind...I would love to know how low will it go and on which function...thanks in advance!!!
@@JohnSanders 250° for whole roast, air roast, and air fry. 180° for bake and pizza.
Thank you very much... that is some very good info for a lot of people and makes the ham i did possible in this oven but maybe not bread proofing etc... but glad to know and thanks again!!!
Wal-Mart version....?? Is it the DT200...?
@@theblake5356 yes. DT200
Maxx Air temps from 80 to 500 degrees. Times to 10 hours. Dehydrates, Proofs, Bakes, Air Fries, Sears, Reheats, Defrosts, Toasts, 21 functions in all. Please apply your budget to one of these and do a review. Kohl’s has it as low as $116 with discounts (what I paid). I have a Bravo XL and it’s nothing compared to the Maxx Air.
Hey John, I have a question. I ordered the Ninja foodi smart xl pro air oven 251 from amazon. I got it today but it looks like they sent me a model DT 250. It has a temperature probe but the fan does not have a screen cover. The book that came with it says ninja DT 250 but I ordered the DT 251. Any thoughts as to if I should return it?
I don't think so...a few people have contacted me today with the same situation... or similar... meaning theirs did not have the screen either...I think they must have changed the design and I'm somewhat curious as to what they are doing too... but...I would go ahead and use it if it were me... you gonna love it BTW!!!
@@JohnSanders did you find any update on not having the screen ,mine did not have it either
I think that must be how they are making them now... but I have not found anything official on that...
Hello I like your channel on the ninja website they have 3 different models of this ninja oven but wiich is the one that comes with everything or the best?
The Dt251 is the best one... it comes with the smart thermometer...thanks for watching!!!
Thank you... can you grill hamburger meat on this ninja?
I actually recently released a video on that and I have linked it below...thanks for watching!!

How accurate is the temperature probe on the 251?
It has been very accurate in my experience...thanks for watching!!!
is it noisy? It doesn't seem like it from the videos. I have a little air fryer that I like but I want to be able to do a small turkey. Also, the one I have is noisy. I don't like being in the kitchen when it's on due to the noise. I'm planning on taking the one I have up to the lake and you've convinced me on the new Ninja. Just hope it's quiet.....
PS Thanks for the great videos!
Morning John. I just watched an interesting video where a person compared how accurate the temperature settings were on the Foodi XL Pro Oven compared to the Instant Omni. Surprisingly she showed that the Foodi could not get to the temperature setting at all, while Instant Omni was able to get really close to the set temperature. She even purchased a second Foodi with the same results. She had an issue trying to bake bread in both where it worked in the Omni but not in the Ninja. That is what prompted the temperature test. Just curious if you have ever done a temperature test on the Foodi. Have a great day.
I have never tried baking other than the cinnamon rolls i did...I have not noticed any temp issues though and the cinnamon rolls did really well...thanks for watching!!!
What is the Jelly 007 thing about ?
Just a nickname I picked up years ago that started out as jelly belly and over the years dwindled down to jelly007...thanks for watching!!!
Hi, where can I buy the DT251 from, I'm in the UK.
