Main Product Advantages
10 Performance
Exceptional cooking performance with moist and flavorful results for various types of food including meatloaf, flounder, and chicken legs. The appliance cooks faster and more efficiently than a big oven, with even cooking for meat, fish, fries, and vegetables.
10 Versatility
12-in-1 functionality: Can air fry, bake, toast, roast, and more. The separate top oven allows for perfect traditional toasting without convection, while the bottom oven is ideal for rapid convection cooking and air frying.
9 Design
Elegant and compact design that takes up less space than most multi-featured models, with a good 4" clearance under cabinets. The FlexDoor feature allows you to open just the top oven which minimizes heat spread in the kitchen, and dual insulation keeps external heat to a minimum.
9 Ease of Use
User-friendly controls, customizable settings, and clear instructions make the appliance easy to operate. The knobs do not get hot, and there is a dedicated instant on/off button, along with a light button that allows visibility in both ovens.
9 Convenience
Preheats in 2 minutes, significantly saving time compared to a full-sized oven. Easy to clean, with a crumb tray for both compartments, and a variety of trays and baskets included for different cooking methods.
9 Heat Distribution
Heats up evenly with no excessive spreading of heat into the kitchen. The well-insulated design ensures that the exterior remains safe to touch, though the glass does get hot.
9 Value for Money
Considered worth every penny by users, especially given the features and performance it offers. Some users have found it particularly cost-effective compared to replacing a full-sized oven.
8 Energy Efficiency
Saves on the electric bill as it is more efficient than using a big oven. It's also designed to be more compact and energy-saving, although it does draw substantial power and should ideally be on a dedicated circuit.
7 Noise Level
The top oven can be a bit noisy when in use, but the bottom is very quiet. Overall quieter compared to other multi-function ovens.
6 Initial Setup/Smell
Initial 'burn in' process may produce a strong odor, which could be quite overwhelming. Recommended to do this outside or in a well-ventilated area.
Ninja DCT451 12-in-1 Smart Double Oven
Meet the Ninja Double Oven, the countertop oven that unlocks the power of two ovens in the counter space of one.
Only Ninja has the FlexDoor that creates 2 separate ovens so you can cook 2 meals, 2 ways at different temperatures and cooking times.
Use just the Top Rapid Oven for quick snacks, sides, and sheet pan meals— or the Bottom Convection & Air Fry Oven for larger roasts, bakes, or air frying up to 6 lbs of wings.
You can also sync both independent ovens to cook a full course meal that finishes cooking at the same time with Smart Finish technology.
While your meal cooks, FlavorSeal technology prevents flavor crossover between ovens.
The Smart Cook System precisely monitors temperatures with the leave-in thermometer, so you don't have to.
Two oven cavities in one eliminate back-to-back cooking for 65% faster meal-making than your traditional oven so you can put your wall oven out of business.
Plus, this countertop dual oven features 12 cooking functions for the ultimate versatility.
