"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"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"

"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."
"I think we have the ninja foodie 10 in 1 oven thing and we've only used our real oven like twice since we got it and that was entirely because the pizza was too big. ... There's something great about being like "yes, cook my burrito at 400 for 29 minutes and then shut off" that makes it so useful. Well setup food and not worry at all about it being done because it always is. ... But really being able to setup the oven and just let the timer handle it is the bees knees."
"probably use it for 80% of our meals ... it is great"

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"The dual baskets let me cook two things at once (like chicken wings in one and fries in the other) with different settings, and they finish at the same time thanks to the “Smart Finish” tech."
"a "smart finish" setting so they finish together"

"Cook two different items at two different temperatures for 2 different time lengths, synced to end at the same."
"I was already leaning toward one that had 2 sides and could be programmed differently. ... I don’t know how many times I made more than one food item and had to cook them one at a time."

"el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión ... volvió a presentar el mismo daño ... materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad ... las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia"
"I am on my 2nd one as the 1st one failed and was warrantied by Cuisinart. ... Now this one is starting to fail again in the same manner (the rotary control knob jumps around randomly and doesn't increment up or down cleanly) ... After watching a video by [Technology Connections](https://youtu.be/6h9JhW-m35o?si=I_99KK_tbr30_yc) the control board being above the oven is a big achilles heel of these machines. Over time the heat will degrade the operation of things until it becomes inoperable. ... yeah mine started to fail after 2-3 years of use."
"Lids that combine air frying and pressure cooking is just a gimmicky mess that is nigh impossible to clean properly ... the heating element of the air fryer will absolutely rust after being exposed to the humidity of pressure cooking. ... The lid is not detachable and it is impossible to get access to the safety valve (the thing that pops up when pressurized) to clean it properly without taking the lid apart, including the fan. ... The burner element of the air fryer rusts after a single instance of pressure cooking. If you run your finger or a paper towel along it, you should see significant dark smearing. ... The lid itself doesn't rust, but the burner element absolutely does, and there's no doubt that it'll leech into whatever you're pressure cooking as the water continuously drips down from there."

"honestly I hate it. ... Each basket is too small. ... No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area."
"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."

"I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck."

"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."

"Box says it's dishwasher safe. I put it in the dishwasher twice and it started to rust."
"The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean."
"The only reason why I dont like it is as it gets dirty, you can see the grease on the little window and it is very hard to clean it off."
thrivacious9 0.4I have a Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 which comes with a grill plate so you can grill a burger or a ribeye indoors without setting off the smoke detector. I had it in an apartment. (The meat thermometer feature doesn’t work very well so don’t pay extra for it.) I used it so much in the first 6 months that I literally never used my oven and started storing pots and pans in the oven.
Jumpy-Ad-6710 0.3We have the dual zone. Happy with the cooking, but be gentle - if you bang the baskets around, the handles can crack. Four stars for that; not quite as sturdy as this house with a 5 year old would like.
Mastacon 0.3I hate our dual drawer ninja. It’s slow and the drawers r small. Regular consori is so much better. Live in NorCal? U can have mine.
spacegrassorcery 0.3I can fit a 4.5 pound whole chicken in the ninja dual shown above. It does touch the sides. I cook it breast down first and flip over halfway through. Beautifully and evenly browned all over. Fries, I don’t fill near as full and shake the basket halfway through for best results
clov3r-cloud 0.2I think it depends on the appliance. some toaster ovens have airfryer qualities and are big enough to roast a chicken. the air fryer i have is a ninja foodi dual basket, so it has two separate baskets that I can cook at different or at same times. it has an airfry setting, a roast setting, a reheat setting, and a dehydrate setting. its my favorite appliance in the whole house! I use the reheat setting for reheating things like fish or steak, and I've been using the dehydrator setting a lot lately to make jerky and dog treats. I don't really use the roast setting since it's just an airfry setting that just isn't as strong in crisping things. I have the 8qt size and while the appliance is really big, the baskets aren't all that big, but it's enough for me and my husband. for a family I would definitely get the biggest size, which i think is 10qt I've grown up with a toaster oven before with just the basic function (and not very big) and all we used it for was honestly just to reheat pizza slices lol. I'm sure there might be really cool ones out there now but I think a really good airfryer with all the bells and whistles is much more worth it. it makes cooking so much easier with a lot less mess making too.
Creoda 0.1Ditto, although I have the copper coloured one which (angrily) isn't the same shade of copper as it is on my ninja kettle. I never dishwasher mine. Just stand for a while after use with hot water and a squirt of fairy liquid in it.
alanm1986 0.1I just got the ninja dual zone air fryer whilst it was cheap on amazon, really impressed with it, great for speed and doing the kids dinners quick after school, not had it long and im doing a roast dinner tomorrow, not even going to attempt it all in the air fryer, going to stick with my oven for that
freespiritedqueer 0.1Wait for Black Friday, Ninja and Instant dual-baskets usually get solid discounts. If you need one now: Ninja Dual Zone is the go-to, Xiaomi dual basket is the budget pick.
Nx-worries1888 0.1Bought one of those dual zone ninja's a couple of months ago from powerbuy. It's a great bit of kit.
Own_View3337 0.1For a dependable option that performs well daily, the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone stands out. Most users highly praised it for its consistent performance and strong build quality. It’s especially good if you want something that won’t burn out fast and can handle frequent use. FWIW I pulled together Reddit sentiment data on air fryers (Google RedditRecs). You can filter by capacity or reliability to see how different models rank. Same disclaimer that some links are affiliate and support the analyses.
