Ninja dual zone. Recently switched from cosoroi. Cosori is great but ninja dual basket is nicer and the ninja is easier to clean

Yep like last night cooked chicken wings in one side and roasted baby potatoes in the other . When you use both sides cooking time is a tiny bit longer but not much for the wings

I 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.

I used mine so much that after the first six months I realized that I had used my oven ZERO times, so I started storing pots in the oven and kept the air fryer in a sheet pan covering the two left stove burners (which I rarely used). I’m not a big baker, though. I value crispy and crunchy textures highly and I love roasted vegetables, which the air fryer excels at. My specific model (Ninja Foodi 5-in-1) comes with a grill plate and is virtually smoke-free—I could grill a burger or a ribeye without setting off my smoke detectors. (All this is past tense because I used to live in an apartment, but then I was laid off so I moved in with family.)

I got the ninja 5 in 1 from Costco a couple of weeks ago. So far I’m loving it. It makes cooking so easy!

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.

For one person a 4-5L basket is the sweet spot. The Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4.7L handles a couple of chicken breasts, a tray of chips or roast veg without breaking a sweat. Anything bigger and you end up wasting energy preheating empty space, plus it eats your bench. If you reckon you'll start having mates over for dinner the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L gives you two baskets to play with, but for daily solo cooking the smaller one is plenty.

Honestly the combo units (Instant Pot with air fry, Ninja Foodi Grill) are a compromise on both sides , they're not great pressure cookers AND they're not great air fryers. If you mostly want to air fry, get a dedicated basket model. The Ninja Foodi Dual Zone is a great choice, two independent baskets mean you can cook protein and veggies simultaneously at different temps, which is brilliant for actual weeknight cooking. Around $182 AUD on Amazon. If you want something smaller and simpler, the Ninja Air Fryer Pro is also excellent at $168 AUD. [top7kitchen.au/air-fryers](http://top7kitchen.au/air-fryers) has a solid comparison of the top basket models if you want to dig into the specs before deciding.

the rotating-basket French door style ones tend to underperform compared to a proper basket air fryer , the comments here are spot on. If you can stretch to a Ninja Foodi Dual Zone , it's a massive upgrade because you can run two baskets independently and finish things at the same time. The Ninja AF160 (Max Crisp 5.2L) is also a workhorse if dual-zone isn't a priority.
