ViperScore breakdown
Should you buy the Ninja Double Oven Pro Smart XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer?
The Ninja Double Oven Pro Smart XL Countertop Oven & Air Fryer (DCT801BK) is aimed at the kitchen where the countertop oven does real work: toast in the morning, a sheet-pan dinner at night, and a second dish going at the same time. Two stacked, independent ovens share one footprint, with a rapid top oven and a 450F air-fry oven below. It ranks fifth among our air fryers and is the pick for people who would rather have an oven-style appliance than a basket. If you just want fries, this is more oven than you need.
Where it earns its score
- Features score of 92. Twelve functions across two ovens, including air fry, bake, roast, broil and toast, with Smart Finish syncing both cavities to finish together.
- FlexDoor. The door opens the top oven alone or both ovens at once, so checking toast does not dump heat from the roast below.
- 1800 W of heating. The most power in the category, shared between the two ovens.
- Dual timers on one display. Each oven has its own countdown, so nothing is forgotten.
What to know first
- $399.99 is a lot for an air fryer. You are paying for two ovens; a basket model does the crisping part for a quarter of the price.
- Toaster-oven footprint, but tall. It fits a standard counter depth but stacks high, so check cabinet clearance.
- Warranty is the weakest factor at 55. Ninja's standard coverage is short for an appliance at this price.
- Value scores 85, not higher. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the closest rival at 84 for $319.95, and neither is a bargain.
Our verdict
The Ninja Double Oven Pro scores 84, a Good Buy. Choose it over the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (also 84) if you want two independent cavities for $70 less. Choose the Instant Pot Duo Crisp (87) instead if pressure cooking matters more than toasting.

Questions buyers ask
Can the Ninja Double Oven Pro cook two things at different temperatures?
Yes. The top rapid oven and the bottom air-fry oven run independently, and Smart Finish times them to finish together.
Does the Ninja DCT801BK replace a toaster?
Yes. Toast is one of its 12 functions, and the FlexDoor lets you open only the top oven for toast without disturbing the lower oven.
How much counter space does the Ninja Double Oven Pro need?
Ninja designed it to a toaster-oven footprint for depth, but it is tall because the ovens are stacked, so measure the space under your upper cabinets.
