The Ninja AF300UK is a powerful all-in-one solution that saves time, energy, and effort — cook smarter, not harder.
The food comes out perfectly crispy without needing loads of oil. I’ve done everything from chips and chicken to reheating leftovers and even baking, and it all turns out great.
It’s also super easy to clean, which I really appreciate. The baskets are non-stick and dishwasher safe, so there’s no its easy to clean.
If you need one, just go for it. It’s made cooking so much quicker and easier for me, and the results are consistently delicious.
It does what it promises , extremely well, with the minimum of fuss and effort.
It’s my go-to for all my cooking nowadays, if it can’t go in the AF, it’s not getting cooked lol 😝
Very recommend, not using microwave or oven at all after Ninja arrives to our home.
Not missing grill function.
Use one draw at a time or both if you want chips and in the other drawer you want chicken breast.
Use different temps and times. You can sync them so it's all done on time.
You can use the mega draw instead, meaning take the draw spliter out and press mega draw option and cook a whole chicken.
I'm a gym goer so I eat alot of chicken breast and in one draw I can fit two big breasts in and then add a stand inside that same draw, so you can add another two more breasts on top.
You will definitely need the rubber inserts to go inside the draws or you'll have alot of cleaning to do.
They're really cheap and check what model they fit.
The inserts are easy to clean and catch all the grease.
Many different options to use, too many to list.
Well worth it, can't live without it.
So easy and faster then heating the oven. Less then half the time.
It cooks everything really fast and it tastes great. And I save money on my electric bill.
I make a foil deep try when doing susages and use the paper tays when cooking chips. Doing this means no cleaning after cooking.
The build quality for the price is very good. I mean, what do you expect for just under £240, the settings on the air fryer are very nice with the bake, roast, air fry and reheat settings quite standard for the majority of air fryers, but this air fryer especially comes with a dehydrate and a max crisp function which is mainly for frozen foods so you can get them extra crispy then you would in a conventional oven so that’s the bonus in my opinion the function I’m really looking forward to using as I’ve always wanted to dehydrate stuff but I’m not willing to spend another couple of hundred pounds on the whole separate appliance just for dehydrating food for that one purpose so I’m so glad that this ninja air fryer comes also has a built-in dehydrator as the name 6 in 1 air fryer. I’m very excited to use this function as I’ve yet to try it but I’ve heard you can dehydrate fully cooked chicken beef and turkey to make it like jerky which I’m very excited to try as well you can dehydrate fruit, vegetables and herbs so I’m very excited to try that as well.
The weight is very heavy which is about 15 kg but it’s to be expected with the drawers, et cetera which means it’s built a good quality and it’s not something that should be kept in the cupboard. It should be something that should have a permanent home on your kitchen counter because it’s such a hefty boy.
I have nothing but good praise to say about this air fryer as it’s a very big step up from my original proscenic air fryer that I had for the last five years and I’m planning to give that away to a family friend and use the new ninja dual zone as my main upgraded air fryer because it’s pointless having two different air fryers.
I highly recommend this product and if anyone is looking for a good air fryer that has all the functions of a conventional air fryer plus a couple more such as Max crisp and dehydrator then this is the air fryer for you
Saves time cooking best way to cook a boiled egg ever see bbc food recipe.
First meal described as debacle amd on brink of returning having followed a recipe book instructions on a Chicken escalope and a burger. However day two honey coated tray bake very tasty, easy and fan noise level not as high as some say. Then onto crispy chicken 👍 fish and chips 👍 sausage and roast potatoes 👍 all cooked perfectly. Noticed food is moist and cooks well just have to turn the food and give it extra time preheat a minute works for us. Although both retired can see the benefit to busy working families. We added silicone liners which has made washing up and cleaning a simple task.
The prove functionality excellent for the bread we bake and appliance already proving value for money so would recommend.
An improvement would be liners that split the zones into 4 as a challenge if cooking three distinct items in a way an oven can cope with but that might be us learning. The main oven hasn’t been used in a week beyond baking bread.
All in all converts to the Air Fryer groupies.
The meat temp probe we added works very well with the dedicated Ninja app in UK but can see not available in many countries. It certainly helps with accuracy of cooking to taste.
Cooks in less time than a conventional oven and uses a lot lass electricity.
The sleek copper and black design adds a modern touch to any kitchen, while the intuitive controls and clear LCD display make it easy to use. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the non-stick, dishwasher-safe drawers. Whether you're crisping up fries, roasting a chicken, or dehydrating fruit, the Ninja Foodi MAX delivers consistent, restaurant-quality results. Its compact size belies its power, making it a must-have for busy households. Highly recommended for its performance, convenience, and style!
One of my favorite things about it is that it’s dual—you don’t have to wait for one dish to finish before starting the next. You can cook two dishes at once or make larger quantities of food in one go, which is super convenient, especially when cooking for multiple people.
I’m really impressed with this air fryer and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient, versatile, and easy-to-use kitchen appliance!
We had a simple air fryer to start and quickly 'outgrew it'. We love the sync option that allows you to use both drawers simultaneously and it turns the second drawer on at the appropriate time.
We bought silicon drawer trays too to help keep it clean, but actually the drawers clean really well in the sink.
Looks good on the work surface. Have met so many other people now who've said "I've got one of those".
Happy to recommend this - I think it is worth the money - just check that you have the worktop space for it though - it is large.
For energy saving it's a winner. We have a large Bosche oven and hob, great when energy was cheap, but now since we are retired and electricity prices are criminal they're impossible to run without breaking the bank.
Cooking is now SO FAST! No more oven warm up, no longer waits, it's terrific.
It does everything it says on the tin!
Now the bits to watch for, not bad, but take note:-
1) There are three of us at Christmas, and we had to use the cooker and hob for all the food as the Fryer was not big enough, you'll never do it, even with this bigger unit. It's lovely to use the cooker and hob a couple of times a year- Doesn't hurt!
2) You'll need to use the Fryer combined with a Microwave, you'll get meals prepared much quicker, it's a winning combination. Works great for us.
3) Be sure to get the silicon tray sets that insert into the drawers, keeps everything super clean, fast wash up, and they last a long time.
Just be sure to wash everything up thoroughly, and a good wipe round. Our unit still looks brand new!
4) When the drawers are hot after cooking, close them properly, don't leave them part-open.
I've read the heat can delaminate the front fascia.
(Ours are fine so far as we abide by this rule).
5) The coating on the feet nodules (under the front of the drawers) wears off after many openings and closings, and ours have scratched our glass stand-alone hot plate. (Not a problem as easily replaced).
But if you put your Fryer drawers down on your worktop BEWARE as they will scratch any surface.
*Use an old, clean tea towel or heat proof mat to protect your worktop surface.
6) Purchase a heat resistant Mat set (here on Amazon). Put the Fryer on those, when not in use the Fryer slides easily out of the way - Amazing!
*We purchased a wooden hob cover, then two mats, then the Fryer on top. (We pulled the cooker and hob fuse in the circuit breaker box to be extra safe).
So there we have it, what are you waiting for? Recommended 100%.
Brilliant.
Believe everything you hear, watch or read.
It’s simply amazing.
For speed, its convenience, versatility and most of all…taste.
I cooked myself some scrambled eggs for breakfast. I think it was the very first time I really tasted eggs. It was the purist state of them I’ve ever experienced.
Fast, Clean and unaffected by any cooking oils or the like. Even using something Teflon coated.
And having the facility of the two trays working either in unison or delayed function is a game changer for my cooking experience.
I might still be a lousy cook but the Ninja will do its best job to make every one of my disasters at least eatable.
I will make one suggestion however…
The instructions were I’m quite certain written for quantum physicists. Go onto YouTube. There you’ll find very ‘easy to understand’ tutorials.
And in the booklet supplied there’s a wide range of food types, times to cook and what degrees to set.
If you share my experience, you won’t be disappointed.
Imagine, if you will, a world where crispy fries, succulent chicken wings, and perfectly roasted veggies coexist in harmony, and all without the guilt of deep frying. That world exists, and it’s sitting right on my kitchen counter. I call it the “Ninja Zone” and it’s every bit as epic as it sounds.
First off, let’s talk about the dual-zone magic. It’s like having two personal chefs working simultaneously. Need to cook your main dish and side at the same time? No problem. One side can be sizzling away with juicy chicken breasts while the other is lovingly crisping up sweet potato fries. It’s a culinary tag team match made in heaven.
The speed! Oh, the speed! This air fryer is faster than a caffeinated cheetah. My formerly chaotic dinner prep has transformed into a well-orchestrated symphony of deliciousness, with me as the maestro waving a spatula.
And don’t even get me started on the clean-up, It’s so easy. Honestly, the Ninja Foodi is like having a top-tier chef and a cleaning crew rolled into one shiny, efficient package.
In conclusion, the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer is not just an appliance—it’s a kitchen revolution. Whether you’re a culinary novice or a seasoned home chef, this gadget will make you feel like a superstar. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation from my taste buds!
My old air fryer was starting to show its age with the nonstick coating starting to scratch and the discoloured plastic so it needed to be replaced.
At first I was sceptical at paying nearly £200 for something that would effectively be used to cook chips however after a fair bit of research I decided to bite the bullet and order the Ninja.
The first feature I like about this air fryer is the dual zones allow me to cook two meals separately, not only that but both zones are physically separated from one another meaning I can cook meat in one half and cook a meal for my partner who is meat free in the second compartment.
This leads into my second favourite feature, the “sync” option, it’s unbelievably convenient to be able to cook two separate items with different cook times and have them finish at the same time.
Speaking of cook times, this air fryer is a record breaker, so far everything I have cooked has been for roughly half the recommended times, I.e. chips in my old air fryer were 18-20 minutes, in the Ninja 9 minutes is plenty.
Max crisp is also a highly recommended feature, for example using this setting I have cooked battered onion rings to a level that would rival a deep fat fryer with this mode.
I have experienced a few occasions of soggy food, however I’ve put this down to user error by not allowing room for air flow between food items or shaking the drawers halfway through cooking like recommended.
One accessory I have found invaluable for this has been a digital temperature probe, mainly due to the fact it cooks so fast it helps to have a way to verify the internal temperature, I.e. I had cooked some burgers that on the outside looked perfect, however their internal temperature was lower than expected.
Physically the footprint of the fryer is small compared to competitors offers and to be honest it doesn’t look terrible left out on the worktop. One point I would like to note is during max crisp I have noticed a large amount of condensation on the wall behind the fryer, this may factor into its location.
During operation the fryer makes a reasonable amount of noise, not loud enough to warrant shutting the door to hear the tv but loud enough for you to know it’s there, I’ve recorded one drawer operating at around 62 decibels which according to Google is the volume of a normal conversation.
I think at some point in the future it would be handy to invest in some accessories such as the silicone liners, just to make cleaning that little bit easier. Speaking of accessories I have found tongs to be a must-have for this air fryer to safely remove large items from the drawers, tipping food out is also an option but any oil/grease that has pooled in the bottom will end up on your plate too.
In summary the performance of this air fryer is, in my opinion, unrivalled for the average household, it cooks everything I have thrown at it to perfection and has nearly made my oven redundant.
This product cooks great chips but one does have to learn a little first. When cooking chips it's critical that one folows the instructions and washes the potato starch out before air frying them otherwise they will burn. Next one needs to work out the times and temperatures for different potato varieties as cooking times do vary between the different types. Once one has a good idea of the cooking times and temperatures chips are quickly produced in the air fryer.
Although the air fryer works well there are the other options available; Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Max Crisp and reheat. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect" and it certainly applies to this Ninja. One has fun messing with this product as one tries to find the best and most successful way to cook food. Roasting duck breasts is a typical example. I have cooked them with the Roast option but I have found that they cook best by giving them 8 minutes on Roast followed by six minutes on Max crisp to get the skin well cooked and crispy.
As my images show, this "compact cooker" roasts some great chicken quarters. The same applies with the chicken as it does the duck, partially roast the chicken and finish off using the max crisp setting which operates at 240c and that is 10c higher than domestic ovens so it cooks and crisps skin perfectly and quickly.
I have used this Ninja for toasting garlic bread slices and it does it much quicker and much better than my Solarplus grill does so that is something exceptional.
As this Ninja has much smaller cavities than a domestic oven it can rapidly heat up, that is how it works. When cooking there is no need to preheat the Ninja as the cavities reach their temperatures in a matter of a small few seconds and that is where the energy savings come into play. By not having to pay to preheat a large cavity domestic oven ones uses much less energy thus one isn't paying the 30p+ per kWh for an element that requires a 3.6+kWh input. If one has a cheap cooker then it's cheap for a reason... it needs more energy thus it would probably use a good kWh just to preheat the oven so one can easily be paying 40p to 50p just to warm the oven up. A more expensive cooker, like mine, can have triple glazing in the oven doors thus they are much more enrgy efficient and save money when comared to cheaper cookers. As the Ninja only has to heat up a small space the food is cooking almost immediately and it does cook evenly.
I did mention duck, chicken and garlic bread but what about roasting coffee beans? I did think about it and after doing a little reading online I tried it. I don't advise using this Ninja for roasting coff beans as it does become "expensive". Many people claim that one can get a "dark roast" in six to eight minutes, with others claiming it takes around 15 minutes. Well, I don't believe any of them have actually tried it as even after a good 1/2 hour the beans were only light roasted. To get a dark roast will tale close to one hour at the highest temperature so that becomes costly for a small amount of coffe bean. One can invest in a domestic coffee bean roaster but personally I do prefer to do it the traditional way, which is much more cost effective. One simply puts the beans into a pan (frying pans are good for this) or a traditional roasting pan that imported. Next, one simply heats the pan on a high heat hob or gas burner for a few minutes. Whilst the beans are roasting one simply stirs them around from time to time. A light roast, like what the Ninja produced, can be obtianed in only two to three minutes with a dark raost taking around five mionutes. What the Ninja produced in 1/2 hour would have taken me around 10 minutes and I would have got two small batches of dark roast for my espressos.
So, this Ninja is excellent for cooking almost anything but there will be the exception such as my fresh green bean coffee.It is so easy to keep clean so that is a very good bonus
One thing I did note from some negative reviews is that some reviewers gave negative ratings and claimed the product is fauly because "lots of steam" was coming out. Well, I can honestly say that is not the case. The problem is not with the Ninja but is with the user. During my second use of this I seen some steam coming out and instantly worked it out that the pan hadn't been insertred correctly. When using the Ninja it is important to insert the pans flush so that they are firmply sealed with the machione otherwise steam will escape thus cooking will be uneven and will take longer. As soon as I seen the steam I simply pulled pan number one out a bit and reinserted it thus no more steam. Another issue with those that cook with incorrectly positioned pans is that apart fromcosting more to cook the food and not cooking the food well... it will dry the food.The steam from the cooking food is part of the cooking process and helps keep the food moist but losing the water will mean the food, especially meats, will go dry.
Overall I am impressed with my Ninja and I should have bought one much sooner than I did as it is saving me money, it is saving me a lot of time and most importantly it produces some excellently cooked food. One day I will risk it and try to make some jam in it and maybe even dehydrate some fruits. If successful thenit will mean my dehydrater will become obsolete aling with my deep fat fryer.
I am recommending this product as it is made to a high quality standard, it works very well and with the energy and cost savings this is very good value.
