"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."

"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."

"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."
"You don’t have to figure out timing with this one you can set one side for the temperature and the time and set the other side for a different temperature and time. Then you hit the start button and the oven pauses cooking for the one with a shorter cook time so they both finish at the same time. ... This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing. ... But you don’t have to do anything except set your oven. Set one side 350 for 60 minutes. Set the other side 375 for 40 minutes. Hit the button that says smart match. Then hit the button that says start One side of the oven is paused for 20 minutes, which makes them finish at the correct temperature and time. In other words, one of them cooks for 60 minutes at 350 and the other one cooks at 40 minutes for 375. ... 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. If you have one that is 350 for 10 minutes and the other one is 375 for five minutes. One starts cooking at 350 for five minutes and then the other one starts cooking at 375. Both of them end up being finished at the same time. ... Mine is 1690 W in the US. This is mine and you can program two different products and two different drawers with two different cook times and temps to finish at the same time. ... This oven does it automatically. You set one side for time and temperature and the other side for another time and temperature and you hit the start button. The one with the lower cook time is paused and starts automatically to make them finish cooking at the same time. ... it has one drawer with two sections that you can cook two different foods at different times and they come out finished at the same time."

"We cook everything from a handful of nuggets and wedges to a two-kilo chicken."
"The size is wonderful though. no crowding of food"
"I love mine. It's great to be able to cook two different things and have them ready at the same time. I was using a single basket one and found cooking multiple batches of something was so annoying."

"Hard to know what to trust ! ... I'm thinking that I need to buy an updated replacement basket that is guaranteed pfas free by them in current day since , I don't know what they were doing back in 2019. ... Totally. We're at the mercy of whoever is answering the email. Seems like they could change their mind every other day lol."

"honestly I hate it. ... Each basket is too small. ... No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area."
"I have the kind that has two smaller baskets and I'm so unimpressed with it. ... I very much regret not getting the toaster oven kind. I opted for this stupid dual basket kind. This thing is almost useless. ... I have the ninja dual basket air fryer and I'm so not impressed with it. ... What kind of air fryer do you have? Mine is a dual basket and I find it's literally the opposite of what you said lol ... I wonder if this has more to do with the model that people get. Mine is a dual basket. I regret not getting the toaster oven kind. ... I'm extremely unimpressed with the one I chose, a dual basket air fryer. So many feelings about it haha. ... Don't get a dual one with two small baskets."
"Baskets are small ... the quantity for those two things is small"

"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."

"not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy. ... Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi."
"I need the space on top of my induction for the extractor fan for the steamer as I steam eggs every day - so the ninja is now in a cupboard."
"that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter…."
Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
r/Frugal • Tips for cooking without a stove/oven? Im not trying to sound dumb lol just maybe having it spelled out for me will help? Thanks ->Given all the research you’ve already done, you’ve probably seen that giant comparison database of air fryers floating around Reddit [here, I bookmarked it](https://www.reddit.com/u/MaterialisticOcelot/s/AuYboNaNB6). It’s super handy if you want to line up the details down to the very last spec. I personally have the Ninja Foodi and really like it, but I wouldn’t really consider it a “budget” pick since it runs close to $200. That said, I do think you get what you pay for with these. I’d be careful about going under $50 on an appliance you expect to last.
r/cookingforbeginners • Best budget air fryer? ->I have had mine over a year now and the stainless color on the handles is fine. Editing to say I have not put mine in the dishwasher though and I am assuming that may be the cause.
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->I recently upgraded air fryers from my old trusty ninja foodi (the pressure cooker combo) to a Instant Pot Vortex XL with the dual basket. its opened up a bunch in terms of useability & ease of use. However to do again I would of gone for the Foodi with the Flex Basket. Id give up the extra quart of capacity to get the flexability of that big basket for when I am doign something that doesnt fit well in the smaller side by side baskets.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer to Buy Right Now Cometh the 2025? ->Dude I’ve been a skeptic for years and I finally got one the other day, ninja duel basket and it’s absolutely awesome being able to choose 2 different modes or times and temperatures even if just cooking for 1
r/airfryer • Affordable Airfryer Suggestions ->I have had a ninja duel for 2 1/2 years and still working great
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->I have a ninja dual and I love it
r/airfryer • I want to buy a double basket airfryer, what are the best and worst ones out there? And why? ->I’d recommend the Ninja Dual Foodie, it has two drawers so you can only use one drawer for a small amount, or both for larger or different things.
r/newzealand • Air fryer for one… ->Foodi pressure cooks just fine Depends. Any device with "air fry" mode is going to be a compromise compared to a real air fryer. Personally I find the Foodi's two lid system to be clunky and annoying to deal with. I pretty much just use my convection oven instead of the foodi. I use a stovetop pressure cooker myself. But I definitely wouldn't recommend the foodi for mainly pressure cooking because the air fryer lid is permanently attached. So that would be pretty much always in the way.
r/PressureCooking • Instant Pot vs Ninja Foodi vs Separate Air Fryer: Best for Pressure Cooking (Mostly) and Air Frying (Sometimes)? ->I’ve had mine for years can’t beat them
r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->I just got this one a few weeks ago and I love it. You can cook one big item or two smaller items. You can also time them to finish cooking at the same time. Ninja DZ071 Foodi 6-in-1 FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7-QT MegaZone & Basket Divider https://www.ninjakitchen.com/products/ninja-foodi-flexbasket-air-fryer-with-7qt-megazone-zidDZ071
r/airfryer • Is there a big single basket for a dual air fryer? ->You don’t have to figure out timing with this one you can set one side for the temperature and the time and set the other side for a different temperature and time. Then you hit the start button and the oven pauses cooking for the one with a shorter cook time so they both finish at the same time. This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->But you don’t have to do anything except set your oven. Set one side 350 for 60 minutes. Set the other side 375 for 40 minutes. Hit the button that says smart match. Then hit the button that says start One side of the oven is paused for 20 minutes, which makes them finish at the correct temperature and time. In other words, one of them cooks for 60 minutes at 350 and the other one cooks at 40 minutes for 375.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->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. If you have one that is 350 for 10 minutes and the other one is 375 for five minutes. One starts cooking at 350 for five minutes and then the other one starts cooking at 375. Both of them end up being finished at the same time. I have heard people talking about voltage and I don’t get it. I am in the US and my oven says the voltage on my oven is a little under 1700 W. Not sure I understand what that means if you’re setting your oven for 350°.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I have the one that has the option to use one side or the other or take out the divider and cook a big item so I’m not sure if it operates the same way as mine. That being said……. I said you set the temperature on one side for what the box or recipe cause for. Then you set the time and temperature for the other side for what the box or the recipe calls for. Then you hit start. If one recipe calls for 15 minutes less than the other, it gets paused for five minutes.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->Mine is the flex basket. The one in that photo is not. Mine has separate eating elements and it’s awesome. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ninja+DZ071&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fpisces.bbystatic.com%2Fimage2%2FBestBuy_US%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2F6551%2F6551536cv17d.jpg
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->Mine is 1690 W in the US. This is mine and you can program two different products and two different drawers with two different cook times and temps to finish at the same time. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ninja+DZ071&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fpisces.bbystatic.com%2Fimage2%2FBestBuy_US%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2F6551%2F6551536cv17d.jpg
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->This oven does it automatically. You set one side for time and temperature and the other side for another time and temperature and you hit the start button. The one with the lower cook time is paused and starts automatically to make them finish cooking at the same time.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I just got this air fryer a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. So glad that another brand that I ordered first was defective and I had to return it. The first one was an air fryer oven, which is what I had before it died. So happy I went with a regular air fryer that was not also a convection oven. EDIT: I just noticed this has two drawers and mine doesn’t it has one drawer with two sections that you can cook two different foods at different times and they come out finished at the same time. You can also remove the divider and cook one big item. Mine is a Ninja with what they call a Megazone.
