Smart Double Oven, 12-in-1, FlexDoor, Stainless Steel, DCT451

We bought this 3 years ago and my only regret is not buying it sooner. Did they make this 25 years ago? Probably not. But it gets almost daily use, and it's amazingly versatile and high quality. It preheats amazingly fast, so much so that I rarely preheat at all. I just put the food in, set the time and temperature, and adjust the time an extra minute or two, depending on how high the temp is. Seriously, even for 400°, it'll get there in 2-3 minutes, so just adjust for that and put the food in. The door is so cool! It doesn't need two handles, which saves my limited counterspace and lets us use the countertop in front of the Ninja when we're not cooking. Ingenious design. I stopped buying expensive roast beef at the supermarket deli. I just buy a top round a/k/a "London Broil" and use the temperature probe with the preset settings. Just follow the manual and it will cook an average sized London Broil roast in 25-40 minutes, depending on your desired doneness. (And if you like medium rare roast beef, cook it to rare; it'll drift up to medium rare as it rests.) We use this almost daily for toast, English muffings, bagels, garlic bread, air frying seasoned curly fries, baking/broiling meats and fish. Reheating pizza. The list is endless. In the 3 years we've owned this, we probably only fire up our main oven 10% as often. The Ninja does just about everything. For the price, it's an amzing value and will be a great addition to any kitchen.

We've had a couple of air fryers, the basket kind that took up too much space, for the limited things that it would do, and the toaster oven kind from a brand that is outfront with certain pot that they make... This toaster oven with its two separate ovens which seems crazy but it's fantastic, does not use convection in the toasting top part of the oven. Instead of desiccating toast with hot convection waves, this actually toasts like real toast, you can put it on the rack or, I prefer oven toast on a small cooking sheet pan. This is like the toast I grew up with the toast that your grandmother or mother made in the oven! You can put butter on it and it comes out crunchy, not like a piece of sandpaper, as the toast from a convection oven does. That alone makes this thing worth it, however it has many other features that are user friendly, customizable, and helpful. So if you really do want to dry something out or cook it fast, the bottom of the will do that for you, and the air fry for french fries and fish sticks and chicken tenders, all of those things is fantastic and efficient and quick for an individual or a family. In fact the toast makes up pretty quick too because the top oven is very small so do not walk away. I've been accustomed to making toast for almost 4 minutes -- a now 2 minutes or so, you've got a nice medium brown piece of crunchy toast. Yes I'm obsessed with the toast! I really missed oven-type toast. It has a sweet little dinging tone for ending and selection that is not annoying like some of these models. Don't know if you can turn it off, I wouldn't want to because it's just the cutest little sound and is helpful. You have a dedicated instant on/off button. The knob selector that selects toast color and number or whatever function you need also punches in to lock that in. Once you are cooking, you can punch it to stop turn heat source immediately. There's also a button for a light that lights up both ovens, that stays on a fairly long time maybe 30 seconds. One tap and it's right back on again. It's slightly bigger than the "IP" brand that we had before, chunky little squareish thing. But it is much less wide than most of the multi-featured models out there, and of course it needs to be pulled out a little bit for hot air frying, cuz there's a vent on the back. The glass does get hot on the front, as of course it should. The two doors on this model are fantastic. You don't have to move stuff out of the way underneath, if your coffee is waiting for your toast to be done. You punch in the top button and open just the top shallow toaster oven, so there is no need to open all of the door that comes all the way down to the countertop. When you're making toast or Pop-Tarts or bagels or whatever, you only need open/close the top door. I love that little top flip door. You don't have a big hot oven spreading heat into the kitchen when you flip up in that little door. In fact both of them are well insulated even though the glass gets hot it does not spread heat into the room like our other brand. So you don't feel heat all the way from the countertop to the dining table as we had before. And it's quiet, so so quiet compared to the screaming multi-function oven we had before that sounded like a C-130 landing for 30 minutes. My one complaint and this is true of most appliances, when you have to burn and break in the new appliance. I thought I was going to leave the house. It is that disgusting and dizzying and miserable. It's much like self-cleaning your regular oven, it is smelly and sickening. There's just no way around it though. It has to be done before use, but I would recommend plugging it into the garage or even on a patio or something because inside the kitchen the smell of the burning off of the factory, really permeated the atmosphere in a miserable way. Turn your air purifiers way up, and the vent fan on your stove! Other than that it's a fantastic little appliance if you don't need to cook huge things. You could probably just live with this as your one and only oven. I'm not sure if you can bake cakes in it as you could with our other one, but I bake cakes in my big range anyway. I believe you can cook a whole chicken in this though. We use ours for toast and Pop-Tarts and bagels and warming up things reheating things, re-crisping things. There are a lot of things we microwave for a minute or so and then crisp up in this kind of oven and this does all of that very well. Another issue is that I toast buttered flour tortillas quite often, and I have burned up a toaster oven when the tortilla puffed up and touched the heating element. I heated up frozen flour tortillas, handmade by the way, so they are extra thick -- and I stood by and did not take my eyes off of the tortillas that were on a toaster oven size baking pan. I don't know if they just happened to be not puffy or if the freezing protected them from puffing up, but I successfully toasted some flour tortillas that were delicious. If you're going to do that, as with toast or bagel don't walk away, keep your eyes on that little top oven because it cooks really fast. So I'm crossing my fingers that I will have future successful toastings of flour tortillas. I really highly highly recommend this, especially if toasting bread is something that you do on a regular basis because the other air fryer / convection ovens do not have this extra little separate oven that is just a regular toaster oven. This makes all the difference. I've been suffering with desiccated bread from hot convection wind for a couple of years now, and it was such bliss to eat a regular piece of toast again that was cooked very quickly without having to heat up my huge oven that would have taken 20 minutes probably. Butter up a piece of bread throw it in on a little baking sheet, and you have some darn good crunchy medium toast in under 3 minutes, anyway. Pick your toast shade! Buy this thing you'll love it for the other functions as well. I first purchased an air fryer after having my gallbladder removed so I could enjoy crispy things without drowning them in oil. It's been 10 years, and we use an air fryer several times a week. High power 1800w so don't plug it in at the same time you're using another powerful appliance. This one shares a wall outlet with a coffee maker and can opener, is all. Worth every penny!!

Fantastic air fryer that works excellent! It is a great size and offers a lot of options. I really like how fast it heats up and all of the racks it comes with. The dehydrator is awesome, it fry’s food great and the bake option is nice. I would highly recommend this air fryer.

Upgraded from using a ninja flip for over five years, and I gotta say, I wish I'd switched sooner! I live in a small studio behind my dads house, and we never put in any major appliances, like stoves. So this is my alternate route for cooking dinner, reheating items, etc. And this one has really upped my cooking game! I can make more than one thing at a time and not have to worry about one item going cold while the other is still cooking. I love baking, and now i can do it all super easily at home. The bottom half is tall enough for muffin tins, single cake rounds, pies, and more! Word of caution, you may have to figure out how to adjust your cooking times for this appliance! Some things may need. A little more or less time than it normally would in a full size oven. I've had years of experience at this point figuring out how long for most items. You can find resources online as well to help guide you on small appliance cook times! Its super easy to figure out and use, and I hope it lasts me as long as my other Ninja has!

This is my second DT201. I like the interior oven size, large glass window, and ability to bake, dry, toast and fry in quantities smaller than a large oven you usually have. It is better, faster and more economical for a small family. And it looks modern on kitchen counter. On positive features - it has a nice and simple user interface with all buttons and display located in the handle. It has electronic temperature control - one can set temperature to desired level. The heating elements are enclosed in quartz tubes - providing longevity and good radiation heating for crusts. Its centrifugal airfry fan is located on the back of the cavity and is made of metal. One can cover lower pan with aluminum foil and that will simplify cleaning. All these features were decision factors for buying this one after comparing with others. On the negative side - the manufacturer used tactile switches that are not rated for high temperature and put them in hot spot. That is why the first failing was start button, followed by other buttons after 6 months of use on my first DT201. I replaced the switches with reliable ones and posted the detailed how-to video on YouTube. It is rather difficult, but despite that, we decided to buy the same model again in assumption that we may have to fix the same with this one when it fails.

I’ve been using the Ninja DCT451 Double Oven for a little while now, and this thing has completely changed the way I cook. I honestly didn’t expect it to replace my full-size oven as much as it has, but it heats up so fast and cooks so evenly that I end up using it for almost everything. The FlexDoor design is genius because I can open just the top section without releasing all the heat from the bottom, and it makes it way easier when I’m multitasking. The Smart Finish feature also works surprisingly well. I can put different foods in the top and bottom and have them finish at the exact same time, which is perfect for making full meals without babysitting anything. The top oven runs like a rapid convection setup, and it gets food crispy without drying it out. The bottom air fryer section is powerful, cooks quickly, and honestly does a better job than some standalone air fryers I’ve owned. The built-in thermometer has been super accurate so far, and it takes all the guesswork out of cooking meats. I’ve tried chicken breasts, steaks, salmon, and even a whole roast, and everything has come out cooked perfectly without me constantly checking on it. Clean-up is easy, the stainless steel looks great on the counter, and it doesn’t take up anywhere near as much space as I expected for something that basically acts like two ovens in one. The only thing I’d mention is that it cooks fast, so you have to get used to shorter cook times if you’re coming from a traditional oven. Once you adjust, it’s honestly a huge upgrade. This oven has become one of my favorite kitchen appliances, and I use it every single day. If you cook often or just want something fast, versatile, and reliable, this is absolutely worth getting.

We thought this oven was the answer to all of our needs and it had such good reviews . It does a lot of things, but unfortunately not all very well. After 4 months of use, we have used the most common features, but not all. Air Roast: The only difference between this and the ‘Whole Roast’ is the fan speed, but is still convection cooking. No matter what the guide book says, it does not reach cooking temperature in 45-90 seconds. You end up having to cook it a bit longer than you are used to OR pre-heat before you start. Air Fry: This setting uses the maximum fan speed for cooking, but it still doesn’t do a good job. We cook Chicken Wings until the meat inside is at the right temperature but they don’t have a crispy skin even at max temperature. The Users Guide recommends cooking the wings for 40 minutes at 390, but that results in overcooked meat. Pizza: We use this setting a lot, but the crust never seems to get crispy . We purchased a pizza stone and would start the cycle; 25 minutes to heat the stone and an additional 12 minutes or so to cook the pizza, but still no joy. The pizza pan is not the same as the one we used in our big oven, so found a new one the right size, aluminum in stead of carbon steel and with more holes in the surface to let more of the heat of the stone come through. At this time, we haven’t tried the new pan, but will update the review once we have tried it. Bake: I bake corn muffins at least once a week. I finally got the results that I like by using a lower rack level than recommended, letting the oven warm for 2-3 minutes before putting in the muffin tray and cooking 3-4 minutes longer than recommended to get the browning on top. Toast/Bagel: we use these two setting quite a lot, but having to wait a least 6 minutes for toast is extremely frustrating. More often than not, we have to add 1-2 minutes to get the toast level right. The last and most frustrating thing is that it is a b**** to clean. Cooking fatty foods like wings and thighs renders a lot of fat, that as it drips, some of the small fat globules get blown against the sides of the oven and gets baked on. Every couple of weeks, I spend 30 to 60 minutes cleaning, first spraying with a concentrated powerwash , letting it soak, and then scrubbing with an SOS pad. I never get it completely clean. The user guide recommends cooking fatty proteins at or below 375, which we do, but it doesn’t make a difference. On the whole, we would not buy this again. Added Comment; After 6 months, took it to the dump. Reduced the rating from two stars to one. I just got tired of cleaning it all the time, for little or no benefit.

This is the third one of these that I have bought in the last 4 years. The first was a christmas present for my parents. I was so impressed I bought one for myself. It has worked flawlessly. I hardly ever use my regular oven now. I purchased this last one for my camper. The included trays are of great quality and clean up is a breeze. Heats up quickly. The countertop footprint is not bad yet it is large enough that I can use a rectangular casserole dish or cook a pizza. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Excelente!! Mejor inversión no pude hacer, sin duda lo recomiendo, ha hecho más fácil la elaboración de las comidas en casa, al punto que mi esposo está feliz de usarlo también. Permite que los platillos se realicen más rápido de lo que solían ser, además de que, hemos aprendido a realizar platillos nuevos, uno de nuestros preferidos es el pollo rostizado, mismo que queda listo para comer en un tiempo de 40 minutos. Por otra parte, ya no es necesario utilizar aceite al guisar, y, si se requiere es mínimo lo que se utiliza, como ejemplo, las milanesas que quedan perfectas y solo requieren el mínimo de aceite.

Good product, we used it for over a year. Very difficult to keep clean, in spite of scrubbing it down after each and every use. On the Air frying, toasting, baking, etc. functions - it does exactly what it says, and very well. We found that units with the fan in the top section of the oven tend not to splatter the flying oils as much - gravity is our friend. The replacement we bought is from another manufacturer.

Excelente Horno estoy muy satisfecha con la compra llegó en excelente estado. Mis platillos quedan de lujo!?☺️

I can’t compare this to other air fryers, but I like it a lot and use it all the time. It’s very quick to preheat, is very versatile, and I was able to make beef jerky with the dehydrator function.

Lo compré el año pasado, y ya llevo meses usándolo. Funciona muy bien, no he tenido ningún inconveniente con él, he hecho comida, pasteles, repostería en él y me encanta. ❤️
