Only two months in, the probe on their AF451UK shows a plug-in error and won't register temperature, and in sync mode the other basket doesn't cook.

NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
Their brand new AF451UK powered itself down ten minutes into its very first cook and then wouldn't respond at all.
Owners mostly like the dual baskets, sync finish and meat probe, and find it easy to use. A couple report it failing early, with a unit shutting down and a probe error.
Of the 12 reviews with a clear verdict, 58% are positive, 25% mixed and 17% negative. The praise mentioned most is easy to use. The most common complaint is uneven cooking.
The praise reviewers mention most: easy to use (4 reviews), cooks evenly (1 review) and crispy results (1 review). For example: Bought the AF451 as a first air fryer and on day one made potato wedges, goujons, cheese toast and dried mushrooms and apples, saying they do not regret it.
The complaints reviewers mention most: uneven cooking (2 reviews) and broke down (1 review).
It's how well reviewed Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Smart Cook AF451 is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
