1. Ninja Double Stack XL – Best space-saver
If maximizing your counter space is a top priority for you, then the Ninja Double Stack XL is the perfect air fryer for you. With two cooking drawers and a total capacity of 9.5L/10QT, this air fryer allows you to stack food in two layers in each drawer, providing you with more cooking flexibility. Whether you’re cooking a protein and multiple vegetables for dinner, you can do it all in the Double Stack XL without needing to use your oven, microwave, or stovetop.
Featuring an easy-to-use control panel with match and sync functions, the Ninja Double Stack XL offers fewer modes compared to other models, including air fry, max crisp (for frozen food), bake, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. However, you can adjust the time and temperature settings to cook a wide variety of dishes.
One downside to the Double Stack XL is that the heat sources are located at the backs of the drawers, which can result in slightly uneven cooking for certain types of food. Without a shake alert feature, you’ll need to remember to mix up foods like potatoes or fries halfway through the cooking process. Despite this, the Double Stack XL delivers fast and crispy results, making it an efficient cooking appliance.
There are several Double Stack models available to choose from, including the compact 7.6L/8QT SL300 (UK)/SL201 (US) model in black, priced at £229.99 in the UK and $199.99 in the US. Additionally, there’s the Double Stack XL with Smart Cook system, which includes a cooking probe for meat and fish and is priced at £289.99 in the UK and $249.99 in the US.
For those in the UK, a special edition white colorway of the original Double Stack XL is available for purchase from Currys at £269.99.
Buy the Ninja Double Stack XL if: you enjoy cooking meals with multiple side dishes and value your counter space.
