Ninja’s new Double Stack XL is on sale for a limited time
There is a limited time sale on the Double Stack XL, or DoubleStack XL as it is known in the US.
The Double Stack XL is the brand’s newest air fryer—and its unique design makes it a good buy for those who can’t find counter space for a standard two-drawer model.
However, the fact that it’s new, innovative and spacious means that this is the most expensive Ninja air fryer model at €269.99/$229.99, so you may not be tempted to buy yet.
But now it’s time to go for it, for a limited time in the United KingdomNinja is offering 20% off the Double Stack if you buy direct from the brand, saving you £53.99.

In the U.Syou can get 22% off the price of Ninja if you buy at walmartwhere it is currently $179, $50.99 lower than Ninja’s own price of $229.99.
We have tested and reviewed the Double Stack XL and think it is one of the best air fryers available.
It has a capacity of 9.5 litres/10QT and the cooking space is more flexible than competing models because (depending on what you’re making) you can cook two layers of food in each basket – the top layer on removable racks.
Ninja suggests putting vegetables on the vegetable plates below and fish or chicken on the racks, but we had good results when testing with a variety of foods.

It also features an intuitive and easy-to-use control panel, allowing you to cook in one or both drawers, fine-tune cooking temperatures and times (if you wish) or sync individual cooking programs to complete them at the same time.

There are six modes to choose from: air frying, roasting, maximum crispy, reheating, baking and drying. This is less than some air fryers (there is no grill or rise function), but you can still prepare almost any dry food in it.
During testing we found that it doesn’t cook as evenly as some other Ninja models. Due to the design, the heat coils and fans are located at the back of the drawers, rather than above them. We discovered that when making fries or baked potatoes, the food needed to be shaken well halfway through the cooking time. But there’s no shake alert on the Double Stack, so you’ll have to remember it or set a timer on your phone.
