Ninja DCT451 12-in-1 Smart Double Oven with FlexDoor, Thermometer, FlavorSeal, Smart Finish, Rapid Top Convection and Air Fry Bottom , 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.

This oven has quickly become my favorite kitchen appliance, and it's made cooking an absolute joy.Size: The size is one of the things I love most about this oven. I looked at like 6 countertop ovens and this is the biggest I could find. To give you an idea, it can fit two whole chickens in the bottom and around 12 hot dog buns at the top.Ease of Use: How easy is it to use? I don't know if it could be any easier. Whether I’m toasting bread or baking a pizza, the controls are easy. For toast, you just choose how many slices and the toasting level you want. For pizza, it’s just one button and start, and it even preheats automatically. It really couldn’t be simpler. Also as for cleaning, I haven't had issues there, the removable attachments makes cleaning easier.Noise Level: The noise level is insanely low. The top section is so quiet that sometimes I have to check if it’s even on! And yep, it's definitely on. The bottom section is louder, but it’s still quieter than I expected.Attachments: It comes with all the necessary trays, baskets, and even a thermometer if you get that version. The only thing I wish it had was an extra crumb tray. It only comes with one, which I don't really understand.Food Results: The most important part. As you can see in the pictures, it has giving me great food results. Whole chickens come out juicy and with great color, pizzas are delicious and with no flop, and chocalate chip cookie were soft with melted chocolate. The only slight issue I’ve had so far is with roasted potatoes, they weren’t really crispy, but I might just need to cook them a bit longer.Build Quality and Design: As with other Ninja products, the build quality is excellent. I’m confident it will last a long time. Plus, it looks great in the kitchen, it's very nice to look at and it modernizes the kitchen.Overall: I’m really happy with this purchase. I’d definitely recommend it.

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.

I tried 4 other toaster oven/air fryers before this and sent them all back for different reasons (Corsori, InstantPot, Cosmo, Cuisinart). My previous toaster oven that finally died was a Breville and toast took SO long to make. This toaster is FAST and my toast is evenly done (without an air fryer fan drying it out). I think that's due to the smaller upper compartment for it.I love that the bottom section is still large enough to bake brownies, cakes and meatloaf (all of which came out perfect on Convection Bake setting). I made the most perfectly moist chicken breast utilizing the thermometer so I didn't over-cook and dry it out like I normally would. I didn't expect to like the thermometer but it turned out that it's amazing to use for poultry.Everything cooks faster than a normal oven which I was hoping it would (when using it as other than an air fryer). When using the air fryer setting, it takes a tiny bit longer than the drawer type air fryer but not by much (still way faster than a regular oven). And, everything comes out crispy.On my first meal, I tested the machine with every rack used at the same time. I cooked dijon crispy chicken breast on the bottom rack, roasted potatoes in the air fryer basket above it on the middle rack, and roasted green beans on a pan in the toaster oven section. ALL cooking simultaneously...dinner was ready so fast and it was all hot since no more cooking in stages and waiting. I wasn't expecting this multi-use oven to be utilized by me in that way but it's almost every dinner that we use both oven sections of it now.The other amazing thing that nobody mentions is that the bottom oven does NOT have any heating elements exposed in it. This makes clean-up a total breeze! I use a damp paper towel to quickly wipe all the sides and bottom. The finish on it is non-stick inside.After testing out the other 4 units, this one doesn't get as hot as others in my opinion. The door is well sealed which I like too. I have just purchased a raised cutting board with silicone feet to place on top of the unit to help the heat dissipate and protect my cabinets from any heat...just in case.I had considered the Foodi XL oven and debated which to buy because I like the fact you can fit a 13x9 pan in that unit which is the reason I gave this unit 4 stars instead of 5. The Ninja people should have made this cooker just 1" bigger as pans that fit this are 12.5".I was successful at finding the perfect sized muffin pan to fit in this particular one and will place the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077BXSX2B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1I also found great baking pans that are nice and big with lids as well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C7VD652G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1I was concerned about the door on this unit laying flat after reading other reviews but if you have a standard sized counter under your cabinets then this actually opens perfectly flat (see picture I attached).I found my "unicorn" toaster oven as my hubby would say. Fast toast, easy clean with no exposed heating elements on bottom, super-fast preheat (90 seconds on most settings), fast & crispy air fry, quiet when using, thermometer built-in, large enough to bake 12 muffins at once and also bake a full pan of chicken enchiladas.The search is finally over. Oh, and I did NOT get this unit as a promotion. I paid for it myself. It's an honest review.
