   My wife and I share cooking duties and Monday through Friday we always have something going on, so we don’t have much time to spend on cooking meals. This Ninja Double stacked countertop oven has really made an impact on that issue for us.
   To begin with, out of the box you can tell that you have bought a quality item. It is nice and sturdy, but not real heavy. It comes with all the accessories you need to get a meal prepared for your family. Once we decided where it would fit in our kitchen, the stainless steel look really complimented the rest of our appliances.
   The first couple of days, we started out slow with this oven. Toast and waffles in the morning and reheating some lasagna for dinner and baking some cookies at night. The controls on the side are very intuitive, so we didn’t have any issues getting our food items just the way we want them. I was really pleasantly surprised how well the oven kept the smells separate. After reheating our lasagna, I was fearful that our cookies would absorb some of the lasagna smell, but that never happened.
   After the first couple of days, we started to cook full on meals. Our first meal was chicken breasts with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I love that I can put all of these items in at the same time into one appliance and have everything ready and tasting great! The maintenance on this oven is very simply. You take out the sheet pans and the crumb tray and give them a good wash before reusing them again. The following dinner we prepared some salmon with carrots and green peas and the salmon come out with wonderful flavor and the smell did not penetrate the veggies.
   We can’t wait to try out some of the items in the recipe guide and try out some new foods!
   This Ninja double-stacked countertop oven offers convenience that no other appliance in our kitchen offers. Not only does it cook our food well, it looks really nice in our kitchen. If you are looking to save time on cooking and all have great tasting food coming out of the oven, I highly recommend this Ninja double-stacked countertop oven.

   Introduction
   Ninja is well known for making a wide variety of small appliances. Ninja is now jumping into the small oven category.
   Going in
   I have a good number of Ninja small appliances, so I was looking forward to see what innovation they included into this oven to make it stand out.
   What comes in the box?
   Out of the box you get the main oven, 2 base pans, 2 grill tops, a crumb tray, a meat thermometer, and a inserts (Recipe guide)
   Minor wins
   I do really like the utility of having two separate ovens in one that have their own separate temperature cook rate.
   Major wins
   Usage
   The overall build quality of the oven is quite nice. It’s also surprisingly light.
   Setting it up is super simple. You plug it in and add the crumb tray, the base pan, and or the grill top.
   You have a lot of options to choose from on either floors of the oven. The top oven is a toaster oven, and is for quick cook options, and the bottom is an air fryer, for longer food items. I think that’s why you have the option of opening just the top so you can quickly remove and add more items.
   You can choose the presets and go from there. You also have the option of using the manual meat thermometer to cook your meat to the proper temperature without too much worry.
   I am absolutely shocked that there isn’t an app to use with the oven. I thought everything came with an app these days. I say that sarcastically, but I think in this case, an app would have made a lot of sense. The app can let you see how much time is left, but most importantly, you can see what the temp on the meat thermometer is just in case you want to undercook something to baste and continue.
   I used it to make a batch of fries on the bottom, and reheated some fried chicken on top. Both came out crispy and no oil was used whatsoever.
   Clean up is easy. Simply clean the pan or the tray and that’s it.
   I do like the light that dims on and dims off.
   I do wish this oven was a little larger.
   Minor issues
   The meat thermometer port has this little silicone plug that is attached to the unit and the other side plugs into the port. I’m guessing it’s for dust protection. My gripe is that the plug doesn’t go into the port completely. In fact, it just dangles there. Like I said, it’s a minor gripe.
   Another minor issue is that both doors can’t be opened independently. You can open the top door by itself by pressing the button. You cannot however do the same for the lower half. I think it would have been nice to have a push button that releases a lock on the lower half.
   Major issues
   The control panel is straight forward, but flawed. I have many appliances that have touch panels, so to see a turn knob on a modern appliance is disappointing. You have to turn the knob to choose the cook category, and then press temp/shade and then turn the knob again, and the same for times, and the manual temp option. It’s just odd seeing a lack of a touch panel on an appliance in 2024. I would think it may cost the manufacturer a little more to add it on. Maybe on the next version?
   Primarily for
   People who either have space in their kitchen and want the utility of having two mini ovens, or people who just want the comfort of having an extra oven.
   Probably not for
   People who have very limited space on their counter space already.
   All in all
   It’s a great little oven. It has its flaws, but in terms of overall usability and functionality, it’s great.

   

4. replaces toaster and oven while adding more uses

   The Ninja Double Stack XL Countertop looks huge on arrival. when i first got it, i thought it’d be way too big to fit on my counter top and much too bulky to replace my current toaster oven. As can be seen in the pictures, despite looking quite different in size, it isn’t much different. width was pretty much the same, all i lost was height, but I’m not putting stuff on top anyways (and you wouldn’t want to anyways because of how hot the top gets)

   This air fryer/oven combo is pretty sweet. it looks really sleek and you can either open just top the top door when using the top or both if you are needing the bottom section. the buttons have a nice feel to them that don’t feel cheap. Despite having rubber feet, it slides around quite a bit on my counter top. i ended up getting a mat that also helps protect the countertop from heat in addition to preventing slippage. Because the door is so sturdy, without the mat, when i try to pull down the door to open the oven, it usually just pulls the oven forward.

   User interface is pretty straight forward but a bit of a curve. you press top or bottom to turn the machine on and then can just twist the dial to what setting you want and push. from there you can tweak temp and time by selecting the button then using the dial to adjust. press the dial to confirm choice.

   Temp / Time also doubles as toast darkness and number of slices. these will take some trial and error to get right for how you like your toast. default was 3 shade 4 slices. i had to go down to shade 2, 2 slices, even when using 4 slices because it was a little too darkened for my liking.
   would suggest going just lower than what you think to test so you don’t waste food

   its great having two areas to cook to prevent letting one dish get cold while the other is cooking. I like that i can make sure they end at the same for convenience. I tested this out with nuggets and pizza bagels. nuggets needed about 4 more minutes and they both came out perfectly. The air fryer basket is quite large, i was able to comfortably fit about 24 dinosaur nuggets and because it was using air fryer mode instead of oven, there’s no need to flip. The two baking trays are about 11×11 and also fit quite a large amount. I was able to put on 24 pizza bagels.
   i was able to make a tray of fresh fries using 4 potatoes cut to 1/4″ thickness and they all spread nicely across the entire basket. you can fit a lot of food in this oven.

   I ended up getting a tray liner for the black trays to make cleanup easier. in the bottom portion you can put that under the air fryer basket to catch any crumbs/drippings.

   When your food is done and its turned off, the screen will say “HOT” which is nice reminder as you are cleaning up and whatnot so you can be mindful not to touch. The sides and top on the outside get surprisingly hot during cooking and stay hot for quite a long time after you’re all done. My existing toaster oven doesn’t stay that hot for that long. not sure if all air fryer’s take a long time to cool down, so this could be normal.

   the poor gripping feet and excessive heat are what cost a star but that could just be me and my kitchen. just something to be mindful of. Regardless, this is an amazingly capable oven and fryer that has a high capacity for family meals.

   

5. Versatile oven loaded with features

   Years ago, my favorite oven had a smaller, thinner oven (like a pizza oven) on top with a larger, more standard-sized oven below. We sold that oven in a house sale and have never had anything like that again. Since then, we’ve become very dependent on a countertop oven that sees more usage than our regular oven by far. Our existing countertop oven has been great, but Ninja just came out with an update to their oven that combines the best of all of these: a dual countertop oven with loads of features!

   **Size**

   Since you’re probably putting this under your kitchen cabinets, you’ll want to know the size of this oven. Ninja lists the dimensions as follows: 18.6 in L x 16.39 in W x 13.26 in H. By comparison, my previous oven was 11.6” tall, so the Ninja Double Stack adds a small second oven while not giving up much on the height of the main oven, and only adds about 1.25” to the height! For me, this was a big deal, since if it won’t fit under my cabinets, it has no place in my kitchen.

   The top oven compartment is ideal for baking small items such as pizza or dinner rolls or a tray of vegetables. It is definitely meant for those kinds of things, so keep that in mind. Trying to put taller items in there will result in the food touching the top and getting burned.

   **Controls**

   Ninja has done a good job of not overloading the panel with controls. Both ovens have their own time and temp buttons, and there is a dial for selecting things like cooking programs. There are 3 additional buttons for the thermometer: preset, doneness and manual. More on these later. There is one additional control, for turning on the Smart Finish feature, which allows the oven to time the completion of top and bottom ovens so that they’ll finish at the same time.

   **Features**

   The Ninja Doublestack XL includes 12 cooking programs: Bake, Broil, Reheat, Keep Warm, Toast, Bagel, Air Fry, Conv.Bake, Pizza, Air Roast, Whole Roast, and Dehydrate. These are selected by turning the dial to highlight your choice in the program list.

   One thing I think is pretty striking is the display. Unlike most competing ovens, there is no screen on the face of the oven. Instead, information shines through the brushed nickel finish! Before I turned it on, I assumed there was no display, but couldn’t imagine how I would know what choices to make (would it be a series of beeps?). This is a great design decision and contributes to the sleek, modern look of the oven.

   New for this year is a plug-in thermometer. The oven features a small port on the side (like a headphone jack) where you can plug in the thermometer. Insert the thermometer in the middle of the meat, then use the thermometer preset button to choose fish, beef, chicken or pork. You can also choose a small or large size (bottom oven only), and a doneness level (rare, medium, etc.). The choice of doneness level determines the internal temperature setting for the meat. The chicken setting only allows one temperature—165 degrees. The manual button allows you to set a temperature to whatever you like.

   There is also a button labeled “Smart Finish” which ensures that both ovens finish at the same time. Details about this in the next section.

   **Performance**

   I’ve been using my Ninja Foodi grill to air fry French fries, so I wanted to see how the Double Stack would compare. Using the included air fry basket, I cooked up a batch of French fries that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, easily as good as the results I get from the Foodi, but with less clean-up.

   Next, we prepared some meals using the thermometer. We dialed in the settings as described above for the top oven, then chose the settings for the bottom oven. The last step was pressing the Smart Finish button and pressing start. The oven with the shorter cooking time was automatically placed on hold while preheating the other oven. A progress bar showed how things were going on the bottom oven, while the internal temperature of the meat was shown for the top oven. Smart Finish ensured that both ovens finished at the same time—super convenient! More impressive was that if I made a change to the settings for either oven during the cook, it would recalculate the total time and adjust accordingly. After turning out multiple successful meals this way, we may just cook this way all the time.

   Random thoughts: using the top oven as a toaster also worked well, but it does take some experimentation to find settings to your liking. One advantage a regular toaster has is that it’s easier to get items out that are not laying on an oven rack. Preheating time in the top oven was only 3 minutes to reach 350 degrees, much faster than our large traditional oven. Convection airflow is noticeable in this oven, which I appreciated, coming from a previous oven that I was never sure actually circulated any air. This makes for speedy convection baking times.

   **Negatives**

   There really aren’t many, but I’ll mention two. A roast tray is not included, but really should have been, since that’s a needed accessory for roasting a whole chicken. The handle on the door, while being very attractive, is actually too big. When the door is laid down to pull food out of the oven, the handle prevents the door from laying flat, and that can make it a bit tricky to navigate the hot surfaces.

   **Conclusion**

   The Ninja Double Stack XL oven is an upgrade in multiple ways, and I’m very glad to have gotten it. We’ve had several Ninja kitchen accessories, and they’ve done it again with this one. Like all our other Ninja accessories, the Double Stack oven is built superbly and includes a plethora of thoughtful features that make it a joy to use. The only thing limiting our usage is when we need to cook a very large dish, but thankfully that’s rare. If you’re looking for a countertop oven, I’m not sure you can do better than this versatile model.

   

7. I Only Wish I Had Gotten This Sooner!!

   I am writing this review for the Ninja Model DCT651 Double-Stack XL Countertop Oven and Air Fryer With Pro Cook System. Wow, what a mouthful!

   I have to be honest, when I saw that the Ninja had a folding door, I had to have it. It just looked so unbelievably cool to me. It is the first time I have ever owned an appliance with such a feature. And even now, it is still my favorite aspect of the appliance!

   When it arrived at my house and the delivery driver opened the back of his truck and started pulling out this huge box, I got a little nervous. Ok, so it wasn’t really huge, but it was pretty big, and I did get a little nervous. The driver had a bit of a time with it, but he finally managed to hand it to me. One thing for sure, it felt substantial. I got it into the house and set it down on the living room floor which is where I typically unpack everything. As I opened up the shipping box, I felt a sigh of relief when I observed how well packed and protected the Ninja was. This is the very first sign I look for when I get a product is how much attention and thought they invest in making sure it gets to where it’s going intact, undamaged, and ready to use. Ninja did great. While taking everything out of the box and looking at all the parts that came with, I began to wonder if they had made a mistake and sent me two different orders… there was a lot of stuff. Included with the oven was a Ninja Pro Cook thermometer with a handy magnetic storage holder, two sheet pans, two wire racks, and air fry basket and what they call a crumb tray. After completely unpacking everything, two things began to go through my mind… where was I going to store all the neat stuff that came with the Ninja, and where was I going to put the unit itself. I knew my old air fryer had to go, and I had already promised it to my neighbor, and another appliance was going to be moved to another counter. So, after getting that all done, I put my Ninja in its new home.

   Following the instructions, I washed everything first, plugged it in, and hit the power button. Now, it takes a bit to intimidate me, but there was a part of me that felt a little butterfly or two as I turned it on and saw all the controls and options light up. I was kind of figuring on a button or two for the top and a button or two for the bottom, but I saw a learning curve coming into play. I don’t know how they do it, but fully hidden in the brushed stainless steel are all these option lights. They only appear once the Ninja is turned on. It is truly brilliant how they managed to do this, and to make sure I just wasn’t seeing things, I turned it back off to see if I just didn’t notice it before. But sure enough, they were completely invisible. Magic! And speaking of lights, both the top and bottom sections have their own light. They’re not independent, meaning you hit the button and they both come on. They do emit a lot of light so viewing the progress of your cooking food is easy.

   When I mentioned a learning curve earlier, I wasn’t kidding. Ninja throws a lot into the Double-Stack oven. By reading through the Owner’s Guide before using it, you can get a really good understanding of how it works. First off, you choose whether you are going to use the top, the bottom, or both. This is done by pushing the appropriate flashing button at the beginning. (You have to choose one before you can start cooking anything). Then you choose either one of several presets, or you can choose your own personal settings, and then do you want to use the thermometer, what kind of finish do you want, etc. But like I said, going through the manual will give you a very good idea of what to do, and alleviate the learning curve I keep mentioning. The one thing I can’t stress enough is that the User’s Guide, Instruction Manual, and the included recipes will make using the Ninja super easy, and super fun. And so, after going through everything, I decided to start off with something fairly easy…a frozen pizza.

   I was actually excited about doing a pizza in the Ninja. I had just bought a brand of pizza I had never tried before, and wanted to see if the Ninja could handle it. Rather than choosing the preset pizza function, I chose to cook according to the package directions…400 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes. Anytime they give a cooking time range, I always opt for the middle. Ninja recommends always preheating. So, after preheating, I put the pizza in, set the temperature and the timer, and let her rip. During cooking I checked in a couple of times to make sure it wasn’t burning, and finally the beep! Now I promise I am not blowing smoke, but the pizza came out absolutely perfect. The crust was perfect, the toppings were cooked perfectly, it was one of the best store-bought pizzas I have ever eaten. It didn’t even compare to an oven-baked pizza. It was perfect! So what was I going to do next? I decided the next evening was going to be a roasted chicken.

   Having got my feet wet with the pizza, I was feeling a bit more sure of myself. The recipe in the recipe book used a roughly 4-lb whole chicken. So, on my way home from work the next day, I stopped by the store and found a 4-lb chicken. As I prepped it, I chose a very simple seasoning…salt, pepper and garlic powder with smoked paprika. Not only did I want to roast the chicken, I had my heart set on some garlic toast, and decided to use the Smart Finish function. As I thought about it, I knew I didn’t want to leave the garlic bread in the top oven the entire time, so I set the alarm on my watch, and when it got close to time for the Smart Finish to kick in, I took the bread out of the freezer and put it in the top when the beeper went off. In about 10 minutes everything was done and the beeper went off again. The results? I can’t say the chicken was the very best I have ever eaten, but it was done to perfection. My only complaint was about how I used too much salt. The garlic toast was perfect.

   I could go on and on about the other things I cooked…French fries, another pizza, and breakfast toast, but I think you get the idea that the Ninja is the perfect addition to my kitchen, and will be used A LOT!

   CONCLUSION
   The Ninja Model DCT651 Double-Stack XL Countertop Oven and Air Fryer With Pro Cook System is a keeper. It is solidly built with obviously high-quality materials. When opening and closing the door(s) there is a very solid feel to it with no tinny sounds, or wobbly hinges. The “flex” doors are a real game changer as well, keeping foods from absorbing flavors from each other. The seals are high quality and do their job well. The light is bright and illuminates the interior so that you can see everything. After familiarizing yourself with the User Manual and other literature, you will be able to jump right in and start working your magic. Now, it is a rather large appliance with a large footprint. I had to do a bit of rearranging on my counters, but it looks really good and matches my other countertop appliances. I suppose if I looked hard enough, I might be able to find something I don’t like about the Ninja, but I don’t really think so. And although my cooking experience with it has been limited, I have a feeling that this is going to be my go-to cooking appliance for a long, long time.

   

8. Simply Amazing!

   The Ninja Double Stack XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer has been the star of our kitchen, since the moment it came out of the box! There has never been a more convenient way for us to make dinner for the whole family! Unboxing and learning how to use the machine was very simple, and within 15 minutes we had our first meal cooking! While not glamorous, the chicken nuggets and fries were the easiest they have ever been and also cooked up in no time! It is so nice to be able to cook 2 different items at 2 different temperatures at the same time! We have also used this to make cookies, and it was so much easier than firing up the oven! Some of the other favorites of the kids in this is pizza which comes out excellent and roast chicken which I can cook at the same time as some of the sides we make by using the 2 different cooking zones. You can even use this in the morning for a quick breakfast! We have made a few different egg bakes and even cinnamon rolls! This is a larger device so be sure to set aside plenty of counter space for it, but I promise you it is totally worth the investment!

9. Versatile, Convenient, Takes Some Getting Used To

   The Ninja Double Stack XL oven is versatile and convenient. With 12 functions spread across two cooking areas, you can do a lot of different things and even do some of them at the same time. It took a bit of getting used to, though. Each function has its own settings, and it took me a few sessions with the quick start guide to get the hang of how the shared controls work. Fortunately, that guide has lots of great information, so I highly recommend reading it while you’re new to the Double Stack XL. Also, the toast function cooks toast a lot more “well done” than I had expected (more on that later), so that also took some adjusting on my part.

   When I first took this out of the box, I couldn’t decide if this appliance was larger or smaller than I was expecting. At first, comparing it to other countertop ovens, it seemed very large. Then I considered the two separate cooking chambers, and it seemed really compact. I soon realized that the top (smaller) chamber is large enough to do more than just toast, and that the bottom (larger) chamber can handle a sheet pan meal for a family of four. It all fits on the counter below the storage above (with a bit of room to spare), so I settled on an overall description of this being a highly efficient use of space.

   We’ve had this for a few days, and I’ve used it for simple stuff like toasting bread and bagels and gotten as adventurous as baking cookies on top while also roasting chicken and veggies in the bottom and air frying potatoes on the bottom while also broiling sausage links on top. Being able to do separate things in the same appliance (and even synchronize finish times) is convenient. The integrated thermometer, allowing me to ensure meats are cooked properly without opening the door to check a temp, has really improved my culinary game.

   My one complaint so far might be that the “toast” function makes bread way darker than you might think. This model was an upgrade for me from another Ninja countertop oven. On the previous model, I was usually using the “shade” setting of 3 or 4 often and getting medium toast. On this model, shade 3 (out of 7) makes my (store-bought whole-wheat bread) VERY dark, and 4 straight up burns the edges. Now that I’ve re-calibrated my expectations, I just always use settings 1 or 2. It makes me wonder if there are other settings that I just haven’t gotten to try yet that will also take some getting used to.

   Overall, I’m glad to add the Ninja Double Stack XL to my kitchen countertop. I think I’ve used it every day since it came out of the box, and expect it will get frequent, regular use moving forward. I’ll continue to get used to how it works and think up new ways to cook two things at once!

10. Doublestacked countertop convenience

    The Ninja DoubleStack XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer combines pretty much every countertop appliance other than a coffee maker into one (rather large) unit. Ninja has outdone themselves with the capabilities of this cooker. Thanks to the smart DoubleStack design, you can use multiple cooking modes at the same time to prepare meals even faster.

    #Unboxing and first impressions#
    The Ninja DoubleStack XL is huge. I feel like I have to get that out of the way early because from the moment you open the box and realize it’s not entirely full of packing materials you start to think it might be too big. I was hoping to replace a rather large air fryer and my standard popup toaster with the DoubleStack, and in that sense it does take up less square footage on the counter. Still, making it fit with the decor of my kitchen required re-arranging things a bit.

    Included in the box you get a basket for air circulation when using the air fry mode, two standard racks, two baking sheets, and the Pro Cook thermometer probe.

    #Using the oven#
    The DoubleStack basically divides its features across the top and bottom chambers. The top chamber has basic bake, broil, reheat, and toaster functions. The bottom chamber has convection bake, air fry, and roast/air roast functions. One of the coolest features of the DoubleStack is the automated “Smart Finish” mode that syncs the cooking cycles between top and bottom so they finish at the same time and your food is hot and fresh and ready to plate at the same time.

    The air fryer function of the DoubleStack works very well. So far I’ve tested it on single layers of frozen foods in the basket and it produces a nice crisp outer layer and even heating inside things like chicken nuggets and breast patties. I did notice that I need to up the temperature slightly from my previous air fryer to get the same finish. Where my previous air fryer would get a crispy outer layer at 370 degrees, I found that 390 to 400 was perfect on the DoubleStack.

    I’ve also used the toast, bake, and reheat functions in the top oven and they work as expected. The toast function with the “Shade” setting is awesome. It’s super easy to get the perfect doneness on your toast.

    I have not used the Pro Cook sensor yet, so I cannot speak to its efficacy. However, I wanted to highlight how smart it is for the sensor to have its own magnetic attachment that sticks to the side of the DoubleStack. Makes it very easy to keep from losing this important accessory.

    #Conclusion#
    I’d recommend the DoubleStack XL for anyone looking for a do-it-all countertop oven that has a premium look at a reasonable price. It’s easy to use and get good results cooking quick favorites, with the ability to cook pretty much anything you can fit into the oven. I can’t wait to roast chicken and pork shoulder in this oven soon.

    

11. Where has this been my whole life

    I have no idea where this thing has been all my life and why I have never owned one but I’m glad I have it now. The ninja duel air fryer convection oven combo XL is the world’s greatest invention. If it didn’t come out of a box I would have swore it came from God Himself. First things first right out of the box you get a little booklet that tells you the important safety instructions and so on and so forth. Once you have read that for about 2 seconds you move on to the menu book where you find all the goodies, yummies and everything that you can do with this. I’ve had it running and operational in my house for 2 days and my children believe that I am a better cook than Gordon Ramsay. My salmon that I usually do in a pan came out ridiculously perfect. I will never put salmon in a pan ever again. The stainless steel and double door opening capability gives it a very aesthetic feel and sleek look to any kitchen. Even though those panels look like they’re just silver panels. They’re actually a little digital light up display showing you the time, temperature, and whatever else you have highlighted from the top or bottom option. I haven’t had a chance to use the smart finish option yet, but if it’s anything like the actual stop and go function of this combo I can’t wait to see what I can do. I did undercook two things but that’s just getting your timing down with your new tools. I recommend it if you don’t have this or even a knockoff of this. You need to get to it ASAP. This is an amazing product and it belongs in every kitchen in America.
