Different video today as I compare the new Nina Double Stack with my trusty Ninja Dual Zone.
Cooking review coming in the next few days.
After 24 hours it has become clear that there are quite a few differences you may not realise from the official marketing material.
Ive used this constantly in the past couple of days and already found the size to bring its own complications, the control panel still isnt very intuitive, its noisier, the side vents means you need to think about where you are going to place it.
What do you think? Worth the extra £70

Which is your favourite?
For more information on both that isn’t mentioned in the video please see the description. Thanks.
which one would your prefer? especially in taste and crispienies
Now that is what you call a review 10/10
Thank you so much.
I just found you today, but you make such great, helpful reviews!
From the smallest details like keeping the measurements on the screen to thorough testing, it really is the type of review I'd want to figure out what to buy.
I like things a bit more crispy and I think that thing with the drawer handle above when you can't even pull it all the way out on a standard benchtop would probably drive me nuts.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Yes you are right the handle is proving a bit of a problem. I’m using both air fryers at the moment to do another review soon and it’s definitely on the list of things I’m not so keen on!!
Thanks for a really good and honest review - totally changed my mind about the stack. You've saved me £70 :D
So pleased my video helped. Really appreciate the comment. Thank You!
I received my stack yesterday, love it, I’ve cooked all sorts with it the protein goes on the top the veg go in the bottom on the crisper trays, you have placed the rack upside down, I’ve been air frying for three years now and love to experiment, redundant oven, I use it for stacking pans in. but getting the new stacker it’s lovely , I cooked a full meal last night chips, cheese burger and veg and it was lovely, off to do breakfast now egg on toasted bread
Thank you so much, such a clear comparison. I wanted to purchase an air fryer and this has confirmed which one I want to buy. I’m going for the dual drawer!
Glad it was helpful! It is a great machine. You’ll love it!
Brilliant review! Such a great comparison!
Thank you. Hope it helped.
Very helpful review! You mention a lot of things I didn’t even think about, saved me some money😂😂
Glad it helped.
Thanks so much, decision made. I ordered dual and it arrived yesterday, I had a wobble this morning when realising I didn’t pay much attention to the newer slimmer model but phew I can now confidently open my big brown box containing the trusty dual ! 😄
Glad I could help! Enjoy your new Dual you won’t regret it!
Thank you for your very good first review, it really cleared up some questions for me
Just been using it. Got some interesting results which will be in a video this week!!
This is an outstanding comprehensive review. Subscribed 👍
Much appreciated!
THANK YOU for sharing your review, AS a friend was telling me about the stacker air fryer the othere day. Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊😊
You are so welcome!
amazing review! lots of great information on things that you wouldn’t think about unless you take it for a test-drive. thank you so much!
Thank you. Really appreciate your comment.
Thank you for the well made, honest informative video.
Seeing you replace the grill plate and mentioning the silicon bumpers. Reminded me of the tower air fryer I had to send back because they break off.
Could you tell me if you've had the same problems with any of the machines that you use, as I'm looking to upgrade to a new machine.
Thank you in advance for your reply. x
Thank you! I’ve not had any problems with the bumpers breaking off on the Ninja Dual or Flexdrawer. Ninja are also very good if you have any problems and will replace parts very quickly. Hope this helps. Enjoy your new machine. If you are able please use the links in my description, I get a small commission. 😀
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this video! I really wanted to order the double stack, but now I see that it actually wouldn't fit in my kitchen because it's so deep, and it vents from the side. I wouldn't have known this so thank you again.
You are so welcome! So glad I could help. Thank you for your lovely comment.
its around 380mm depth and how much of you kitchen？
Thanks very much for this video, its really informative, I had no idea how different they really were, thank you xx
You are so welcome! Thank you for commenting. It means a lot.
Very good review, I’ll be sticking to the dual drawer. Thank you
Thank you!
Hi, I have only just found your channel today. I was interested in the stacking Ninja, but after your brilliantly thorough comparison of the two machines I won't bother. I already own a cheaper twin basket air fryer but liked the idea of the smalller footprint of the stacking Ninja. But after seeing your comparison, there is so much about it I don't like. So a BIG thank you (hubby will thank you too as he's getting fed up with me buying kitchen gagets 😂) Anyway, I was so impressed by your thoroughvand honest review that I am now a new subscriber. TFS ❤
No worries so pleased it helped. Thank you so much for the comment I really appreciate it.
Concise and informative, thanks for putting the time and effort in so i don't have to.
Thank you! Really appreciate the comment.
Excellent review, Just bought the double-stack because of space, so your review has helped me to use it better. cheers.
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.
Price, form, function, ease of use, ease of cleaning... MUCH prefer the dual zone (imho) :) Thanks so much for sharing!
Totally agree! Thank you for the comment.
Thanks so much for this video. You pointed out things I hadn’t even considered but are actually a complete dealbreaker!
Thank you. We found all this out after buying it, most of which isn’t in the marketing material.
Brilliant review. I'll get the dual model now.
Thank you! Glad you liked the review.
Great review - very useful to help me to decide!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
Great vid thanks for sharing, gave me food for thought , liked the look of the stack but not sure now
It really does look fantastic. But as you’ve seen, there’s more to it than what’s in the marketing material. I hope it helps make a decision for you.
You really covered everything, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for commenting. It means a lot.
Great review thank you, glad I found it. We’ve currently got a Cosori but it might be heading off to Uni in September and I’ve always fancied a double drawer but we lack space. I thought the stack might be the answer but actually as our Airfryer sits on narrower section of work space it wouldn’t fit. Might take a more in-depth look at the Dual.
Glad it was helpful! I’ve had quite a few air fryers now and the dual is definitely my favourite. Would be a great one for uni.
@@fulloffood lol I’m not that generous…I was thinking I’d give my daughter the cosori single drawer for Uni and treat myself to the Ninja Dual 😬
A very informative video. I think after watching your review, I will be sticking with my dual zone.
Good choice! Glad I could help. I’m with you on that the dual does everything I need it to!
What a great review
I was thinking stack.
Now thanks to you it will be dual.
🙏🏻👊🏻🙏🏻
Glad it helped
Genuinely useful review, thanks.
Thank you. Another one coming this week with plenty of thoughts on this machine.
Like the reviews, have you compared these with the megazone model?
Thanks. I’ve compared the dual zone to the megazone and made a video on it. I haven’t compared the stack with the megazone as the stack is boxed up ready to go back.
Really useful comparison, thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
A big problem with the stack is that if you want to put something like a curry (wet ingredients) in the drawer without the crisper tray, the holes in the back prevent it. The fact that you can use the drawers as a ‘pan’ in the dual which has no holes is a clincher for me. I know you could use a silicone liner, but that will reduce the capacity considerably and inhibit the air intake at the back, and make it more difficult to empty.
Absolutely agree. I too love the fact you can cook things like lasagne in the dual.
Great review 😊 thanks 🙏
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it.
Brilliant review thank you!
Thank you, really appreciate your comment.
Very informative, made the decision easy for me, the dual seems to have the advantage for me.
Glad I could help x
Great review thank you
Thank you 👍
Excellent comparison 👌🏾
Glad you liked it. Thank you.
Great video have the same as u after seeing this going to stick with my dual thank you saved me 270 quid 😊
Glad I could help you and your bank balance!
Very helpful! Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Great comparison - looking to buy my first air fryer, i was loving the look and space saving element of the Ninja Stack and was going to get it, however after seeing your video. I can now see the practical use of the Ninja Dual compared to the Stack.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment and enjoy your first air fryer.
We've had our Ninja AF400 dual for a out one year and absolutely love it as it cuts down a lot of our large double oven use and so fast and simple to use, clean etc.
My wife was pointing out the new stacked model but after seeing this review, we'll stick with the dual.
This is a great review. Very informative. Thank you. I think this new Ninja Stack is a bit of a gimmick. I like to soak the drawers and like you say in your review you can’t fill the drawer with soapy water because of the holes in the back of the drawer. I’ll be sticking with my lovely dual. Thanks for a brilliant review 💕
Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot. Yes I’m sticking with the dual too!
Brilliant comparison, thankyou
Thank you
You wouldn't be able to cook anything with a sauce in the stack because of the vents to allow the air flow...the stack is definitely not one for me...thanks for the review x
Great point.
You can, any fluid I want I cook with either foil dish or a glass dish which will easily stack in
@iriswoodhead6132 surely that would block the heat and air flow?!
The vents don’t go all the way to the bottom, this allows the use of paper liners without blocking the holes much. Overall it saves masses of space and is very neat on my bunker.
Really nicely done video. I have the original Ninja Dule air fryer and one thing I really don't like about it is the touch screen. Glad with the stack they gave it buttons.
The buttons on the stack feel very similar to those on my AF400. Both tactile.
Ive got a Flexi drawer snd ill stay with that,great review ,thanks
Thank you for your comment!
very helpfull was going to buy the stack but not worth for the price and cooking thank for the usefull info.
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate your comment.
Really helpful video thanks.
I will definitely stick with my original dual drawer.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, My Stack seems to cook things to the front more. I wondered if you've noticed the same. You're hashbrowns test looked quite evenly cooked. BTW, I loved this comparison video particularly the detail like the problem with the depth. It was a really intelligent review. Thank you.
Check out the video that’s just gone live. VERY uneven.
Thank you for your kind words.
Yes, I thought I was perhaps being overly fussy. I'm going to send it back as I'm not sure it's fit for purpose. It's disappointing as this problem MUST have come out in tests. Thanks for your updated video.
Nice clear video. Thx
Glad it was helpful
Thanks for the review. It looks like you're using the racks upside down (arms should be pointing up, from the promotional pics)?
A pity that the control panel isn't better, as that's one of the only things I'd like to see improved on the Dual Zone (the dial should be used for selecting time).
Yeah, they only go one way. The joys of doing my first ever demonstration whilst talking video, I put it in the wrong way round.
Does beg the question why it wasn’t designed to be used both ways!
@@fulloffood because the racks need a way to get them out whenthere 240 c hot,
I’ve been using this for several days. I still have my dual but I prefer the stack to the dual. Having a small kitchen, it saves so much space. I’ve cooked a variety of things in it and so far so good. Being able to cook a whole meal is a definite time saver. I find cleaning it a breeze. So far I’m loving it.
Thanks for sharing! I must say I’m looking forward to trying a whole meal this week.
Same! I just got stack as gift from my partner! We have a small kitchen and it just fits perfectly. I am bit worried about that heater is in back and not on top so food won’t be as crispy
Fantastic review! Ever so helpful with the decision making. Thank you 🙏 😊.
Dual for me every time. Thanks for the demo.
Thank you. Good choice.
Thank you for this. Im going to stay with my Nija 10 in 1, which has the flexibility of converting into one huge drawer, thats handy for cooking a 2kg of lamb, or mass cooking.❤
Good decision. Love the 10 in 1. You’re right it’s so versatile.
Hi thanks for the vlog i was seriously thinking about buying one but not anymore there is so many design faults, 🍻🍻
Glad I could help. Thank you for commenting!
Good comparison video. I've just bought the stack, it's my first ever airfryer due to space restrictions. I don't find the food cooks very evenly and find myself swapping it around constantly. Is this a common thing with airfryers? The crispers only go 1 way, look at the rubber bits, 1 end has 2 the other end 1. This matches up in the tray itself and also you have the racks upside down. What look like feet are handles. Best wishes
Thank you! Regarding the uneven cooking no this isn’t normal for air fryers. I’ve found the same problem with the stack 😬
@@fulloffood Hi, many thanks for reply. It's obviously due to the fan and element being at the back as opposed to above as you highlighted in the video. Is there a different air fryer you'd recommend that is the same width?
Thank you for the review. I like to put oil in the bottom of my dual for roast potatoes as if they were cooked in the oven, couldn’t do that in the stack so definitely won’t be getting one. ❤
Absolutely that. Going to try some things in it but could be a no go with the mesh at the back.
I cook my meats in in first then use the drippings for vegetables and potatoes is that not a option even in the bottom?
Thx great information so helpful
Thank you. :)
I have the dual zone side by side, upon first seeing the stack I thought OMG I want it, but after seeing a couple videos I think I'll stick to my trusty dual zone.
I have more info on this in my next video. I think you made the right choice.
You mention you use a rack that you bought separately for the dual zone, so then basically it will do the same as the stacker? Cook veggies in bottom and protein in top of rack?
Yes it does! If you take a look at my videos you’ll find the accessories kit it got off of Amazon. Hope that helps.
We’ve had the 9.5 double for 3 years. Bought from QVC when first released for £165. Ab Fab machine used probably 5 days a week. Just bought my daughter the new single drawer ninja with separator in the middle for under £200 direct from ninja 😊
Thanks for sharing. That’s a great price. Hope your daughter enjoys her air fryer. I don’t know how I’d do without now.
You have the stacker grill shelf upside down that why it’s difficult to put them in. I’ve been using mine for about 3 weeks now & i find it easy to use. Just got to get used to the timing (cooking quicker then I thought) the double stack pro stops the under cooking. Also agree with the noise. It seems very loud
Thanks for the comment. The beauty of doing my first demo and talk. Makes you wonder why they didn’t make them reversible.
Really wanted to like this, but for £270 and all its faults, it’s going back.
What an amazing review, you explained everything perfectly. I really couldn’t get on with the holes in the back of the drawer so won’t be buying a Stack. Thanks very much. 🤓
Thank you.
Great review. I'm not one for trading in for a newer model. I have the dual at present, but should it wear out I'll not consider a stack that's for sure.
Thank you. I’d say that’s quite a unanimous opinion so far.
Just a small point to note from your video, volume DOUBLES every 3dB as the decibel scale is logarithmic. So your 6dB sound difference means it is 4 times louder, big difference!
Thanks for that! Great point.
Can you use silicone inserts eith the stack if yoy wanted to use a sauce, um guessing you couodnt because of the vents at the back?
I was thinking about that too but wondered if the side of the insert would block some of the heat/air flow.
Guess I also wouldn't be able to use a liner in this too as would block airflow
Yes thats a good point. I’m testing the machine more over the next few weeks so I’ll definitely try and see.
Thanks I will buy the side by side xxx
Glad I could help.
Very helpful. Thank you
Glad it helped. 👍🏻
@@fulloffood still can't make up my mind if I need an air fryer. Don't know if they're just another gimmick or actually worth having
What would you suggest as my 1st air fryer?
Ooo good question. How many people do you need to cook for?
The crisper plate has a cut out slot, which if rotate the plate around allows the plate to sit in a high position for cooking....so you need to be aware of that as it will be more difficult to slide it to the base if you have the plate wrong way round.
Thanks
Oh good grief, not another one! Ninja just doesn't stop. Now a stackable? Give me a break LOL. Thank you for your great review.
Thank you for your comment. Yes they do seem to be releasing a lot!
Very helpful review, I think the dual zone is better as you can use they baskets as a pot, you can't do the same with the stack because of the holes in the basket.
Thank you. Yes that’s a great point about using the baskets as a pot.
you are genius use air fryer as a pot，how you use it like a pot？
@@shinylee6533 You take the crisper tray or basket out and it's a pot. In the UK there are a couple of cooking shows that show you how to use it as a pot.
Does the 47cm depth include the handles on the basket?
Great question. Have just measured it and yes it does include the handles.
Thank you Madame. Can you may also show how loud it is and how are the differences when you cook sth on the buttom comparison to the middle?
Yes of course, that will be in the review. I will try and add the sound of them to the video.
@@fulloffood also a comparison between the af400. If they are really the same or may the sl faster and crispier would great. Thank you madame
Got ny new stack delivered today and it's still in the delivery box. I'm not sure if I want to keep it now.... 🤔
👍
I returned it.
Great ux
Thank you.
Good stuff.
Thanks!
Hello, Thanks for sharing your valuable review. Could you please tell me the height/depth of SL400UK? I have got AF400UK and i dont know if its worth upgrading to SL400UK. Thanks
Hi there it’s in the video and description. Hope that helps!
Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see the height measurement. Can you post that. Thanks.
Hi thanks for that I’ve updated the description. The height is 38.5cm for the stack and 32.5cm for the dual. Hope that helps!
Hi thanks for that I’ve updated the description. The height is 38.5cm for the stack and 32.5cm for the dual. Hope that helps!
@@fulloffood Thanks. That height will definitely not work with my cabinets.
do you may have new tests of the sl400?
Hi check out my video from today where I cook using the racks. Next week I’ll do another video on what’s I’ve found out after having it for 2 weeks. Hope that helps.

You refer to the difficulties you had with the control panel on the Stack. And yet, you appear to be right handed. I can imagine that using it as a left handed person might be even worse! It might even become a two handed operation if you need to steady the panel from behind whilst you press the small buttons.
Yes that is a great point!
It's a shame thry couldn't make one of these that vents to the left and has control panel on left to give people choice based on their worktop configuration
Completely agree! That would have been great.
Or a remote controls on phone or dedicated remote would have been better.
Hi I'm not being nosy but why did you buy it from Currys and not from ninja direct
Hi. We knew that coming from Curry’s would definitely be DPD which is much easier for us.
I will stick with my AF400UK thank you
Glad it helped.
Dual Zone is now £179. Just ordered one 👍
Nice!
Some of us have limited counter space-I replace my Toaster with the Dual Stack Pro.
It absolutely is smaller and perfect for that. But for usable space when taking drawers out (which is often), it’s not much less than a DZ. it will be in my 2 week video.
@@fulloffood Well-I can't fit a dual DZ on my counter top, horses for courses? I keep a 15-in-1 on my Stove Top and haven't use my oven for almost 2 years, but it creates a lot of cleaning for something as simple as egggs, beans and chips-which the Dual Stack did perfectly
Eggs in a pan, beans in a microwave and chips in our Ninja AF400 dual.
Can't beat it!
Crisper tray is ment to go back to front so it sits higher in the basket.
The joys of doing my first ever demonstration whilst talking video, I put it in the wrong way round.
Does beg the question why it wasn’t designed to be used both ways!
A whole chicken would be a good test if the heat comes in from the back. How evenly cooked it would be. You would probably have to flip & turn it
That’s a great suggestion. I’ll get on it.
Very valid points. I won't be buying the stack based on your review :)
Thanks for the comment.
I don't like the stack basket because of the vented back. If your cooking grease food my guess it will travel or over flow out the screen. I will stick with side by side model
Our 2 weeks review mentions this. Coming soon
Hi just came across your channel by chance I have the Ninja dual drawer AF300 but was looking for change as the drawer number 2 burns the food on top the Element seems to be hotter than drawer number 1. With your expertise is there a way around this please advise thank you
Definitely contact Ninja. That doesn’t sound right. Their support is great. I had a problem with a fan once and they did a video call and then sent out a new machine. Hope that helps.
Hi thank you very much for your advice I contact Ninja like you said they did a video and said np problem and replaced with a brand-new ninja much appreciated
You put your double stuck thing upside down
Well spotted. I worked it out after 🤦♀️
Wish I'd seen this before buying the stacked version. Already noting issues, several identified here. Guess this new model. could prove to be a lemon for Ninja. Not happy.
We contacted where we bought it and sent it back. Worth trying if you feel like it’s not “fit for purpose”
You are using the grill trays on the stack upside down!!!
Thanks for the comment. The joys of doing my first ever demonstration whilst talking video, I put it in the wrong way round, even the correct way isn’t as easy as it should be.

No thanks ... I shall continue waiting for the promised Cosori multi/zone DualBlaze before I upgrade 😊
We are quite surprised at it, as you can probably tell from the video.
The stack is no for me. Things at the back will get burnt.
Interestingly I’m doing some testing for another video and the cooking is definitely uneven watch this space.
@@fulloffood i've subscribed to catch the update. 👌 my friend is actually considering this new model, so i will forsure send her your new video when you release it.
