"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"What I love about our oven vs. the air fryer is the amount of space the oven offers. Rotisserie chicken, 4 baked potatoes, pizza, evenly cooked tenderloin with a broil setting that can provide a crust."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."
"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."

It doesn’t take just as long if one takes 10 minutes at 350 and the other one takes 5 minutes at 350. You hit start and one side doesn’t start until five minutes later than the other one.

"Baskets are small ... the quantity for those two things is small"
"The annoying part is the smaller baskets. ... My old air fryer I could put an entire package of chicken breast in it but this one I have to divide the chicken up between both baskets. ... If I had to do it all over again I would have gotten one with one basket."

"My biggest complaint is that it takes forever when using both zones. ... It brags that you don’t have to batch cook, but at least with batch cooking I’d have something hot on the table while the second half cooks."
"as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. ... Basically double the cooking time. ... when switching to two it takes absolutely ages."
"When I first got it I was excited to throw like frozen fries in one side and nuggets in the other, but then when I used my Normal settings neither was even close to done. I don’t use both at the same time ever anymore. ... Tried later adding time and found it really cumbersome to get right. It just doesn’t get nearly as hot when splitting between both baskets ... If you tell it to have 375 in one side and 350 in the other they’ll actually be about 335 and 310. It can’t output enough heat. ... Maybe mine is defective (and was out of the box) but it absolutely does not reach the desired temperature if I use both."

I was honestly skeptical about getting another kitchen gadget I figured my oven was enough. But the [Ninja Quart 6in1 Air Fryer ](https://x.com/SmartBuyFinder/status/1961356172402852186)changed my mind. You can cook two different foods at the same time and they’re both ready together. Super convenient, no need to stand by the stove. Food comes out crispy without oil and I use it way more often than I thought I would. It speeds up cooking and is so much easier to clean than a regular oven
I have that Ninja model and can run just 1, with or without the other basket. I just soak the basket with hot water and dish soap overnight after use and it takes 90 seconds to wash in the morning. I prefer to keep my nonstick items out of the dishwasher... And those liners detract from some of what the AF has to offer in experience and outcome with the heated grill adding to the cook.

Ninja is an excellent brand. By far the best? I would have to say Cosori is probably equally as good. Typher is much higher build quality. But the Ninja DZ201 Foodi 6-in-1 2-Basket Air Fryer is an excellent product. I think most air fryers are made to be pretty affordable save for the Typhr, Breville and Dreo. Other than those I think most of the zillions of air fryers on the market range in price from around $74 USD to $200 USD.
Yeah, we're in New Zealand (we got pretty much what Australia gets), but even our versions of the Ninja models are under 2000W, which is disappointing. Most other decent brands are like our old one, but we're unfortunately limited to what the one chain store has, as the warranty compensation is in the form of a store voucher. My Wife and I have spent the last few hours Googling everything, and have at least decided against the Stack. We originally ignored the Phillips 3000 as an option, given that it has one large and one comically small basket, but apparently it's one of the best. So currently we're looking at that first, if it can fit a few specific things we eat often in the tiny drawer, then the Flex, then Dual Zone. They have the single drawer 6L model of our old NutriBullet 8L (two 4L), and contemplated just getting two, which would solve pretty much every concern, be most flexible, and likely last another couple of years, except it'd start to cause space issues (tiny kitchen, very limited power outlets). Another common concern we've seen mentioned is that Ninja models have very poor quality nonstick, which often starts peeling with little use. Other brands that this store has are either expensive for single drawers (Sunbeam and Breville), or things like Westinghouse, which apparently never stops smoking. In any case, we'll get the same 3 year care plan, which is instant replacement on any goods under $500NZ.
Unfortunately we for some reason get the lower wattage US models when it comes to the Ninja brand, despite getting higher wattage Aus/UK/NZ models for most other things, like our old NutriBullet being 2300W, and the one Phillips model the store has being something like 2750W.
No, we live in New Zealand. I don't even think we have Consori (Philips, Consori, and Insta Vortex are supposed to be the best, but we have very limited Philips, and couldn't find the other two). I think the Ninja line is a bit underpowered, as they're only 1650W, even for the massive Flex model. Compare that back to smaller ones, like our old NutriBullet Twin and the Philips 3000, which both have 2300W+. Even NutriBullet's 6L single drawer is 2300W.
We just got a new air fryer, Ninja foodi AF400uk dual zone 9.6L. We were gifted the smaller 7.6L AF300uk about 6 years ago, which was brilliant, but we wanted something a bit bigger. I got it from the Ninja website when it was on offer a month or so ago and you can get an extra 10% off your first order if you sign up to them. Paid about £165 for it. We use it almost every day for a family of 4.
I have a Ninja air fryer with two baskets. It's used every day and we've never had an issue. There's no doors separating the room with the bird's main cage from the place where the air fryer is.
I have a dual-basket Foodie kind of like this one. I'm not sure how many quarts mine is, it's not super big. https://a.co/d/0pPPcwR
I've had it for a couple years now, I'm not sure how long. It works well! Very easy to clean. I haven't had any issues.
Kakvu ti to fritezu imaš? Meni je pomfri gotov za 12 minuta.
A onda koliko para toliko muzike. Ja sam ovu ninju platio oko 150€.
Really? We bought one & it got so annoying we stopped using it. It was fine on 'one basket' but as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. It's now stashed in the garage, replaced with a Phillips XXL.
Sure. Basically double the cooking time. It's now in the garage, we bought a single XL one
Australia actually. 240v here. One basket cooks fine, when switching to two it takes absolutely ages.
If you want speed and easy cleanup as a proirity, I d pick the **Ninja AF300EU**. the dual baskets are clutch for cooking two things at once and the baskets are really simple to wipe or pop in the dishwasher. the Cosori is nice too more presets and a bit different layout but for quick weknight cooking and minimal fuss the Ninja feels more student-friendly.
