So I have two air fryers. Both are ninjas. One is single and one is dual. I do agree the single is better. It's really convenient to have three air fryers when making something like air fryer chicken, roasted veggies & fresh french fries. I can make all three at the same time and eat at the same time. Super convenient. Also if making wontons and spring rolls. I have a pretty busy job, a young child & a husband who doesn't cook. So for me worth it to have all. I also have enough space in my kitchen.

Yup I did a post on mine several months ago. Definitely takes more time when cooking with both sides and it can be hard to figure out timing. I wish I stuck with my single one.

Aggravating_Court_40 • 9 months ago

I just mean in the sense that it cooks a lot slower using both sides vs one so have to figure out timing for stuff to be done. It isn't the usual times I would set when using just one side. Apparently this is an issue in the US due to voltage from what I was told numerous times on my last post. Just wish I knew before I got it. If you're in the US and this one takes just as long when you use both sides, you're lucky I guess. 🤷‍♀️ i have much longer cook times using both sides than I do with one, or with my one basket ninja I used to have.

I have a ninja dual air fryer. It cooks great when making different things. The annoying part is the smaller baskets.

I tried that one and didn't like it. Baskets are small and it's less efficient when using both baskets. I went with an Instant Dual Vortex instead, the two baskets are much bigger and running both baskets at the same time does not reduce its efficiency. I love it and use it for almost every meal I cook at home, and I think the dual basket makes it much more useful because I can cook my entree and side dish at the same time.

If you're absolutely going with it in your budget then [Ninja Foodie Dual Zone](https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-DZ401-Independent-Dehydrate-Family-Sized/dp/B096X9LGJ1) is an absolute beast. You can have two different baskets at different temperatures simultaneously. Really makes a difference.

I was cynical that I would get the use out of it, well it turns out I use it everyday and my cooker is redundant. I've got the dual ninja one so you can cook two things at once. It fits a medium whole chicken, is great for stir fries and I do pasta bakes straight in the drawer.

I have both and use them for different things. Messy foods like chicken, etc go in the basket fryer (Ninja Dual) but things I prefer to “bake” or make larger quantities of, go in the oven; my model has a basket tray which allows for good air circulation.

Mine works great! I have to lower a lot of my temps or reduce cooking time comparatively to my oven, so 400 is more than enough for everything I’ve done. I like that I can have two completely separate temperatures going in each side for different cooking needs. I generally am only cooking for myself, and it works great for my needs! Won it from work for free too, so it’s even better!

I didn't buy it. Had a Kmart one which had teflon that peeled off into my fish when I cooked it (like peeled off the metal and onto the fish skin) ugh talk about eating forever chemicals! Replaced with a Ninja dual one which is at least looks and feels like it was made in a factory run by people with some self respect (coating appears solid and not like it was sprayed on with a can of spray paint). Still thinking about going all SS though if a good option turns up. The UB looks a bit odd, I worry the rotating mechanism could be a failure point and sometimes I really don't want things to rotate and fall over (like cooking a delicate slab of fish).

Got a clamshell ninja foodi Max something or other and it cooks chicken including breaded chicken perfectly. If you want a tip, it's worth getting a small grill thing that stands off from the floor so the whole thing gets heat evenly. When it comes to meat, I can usually toss anything in and it's done within 14 - 16 minutes. Doesn't matter what it is. Chicken is typically lightly browned on the outside and perfect inside. Not chewy, greasy, dry. Don't use any extra oil, there is enough in the meat already. Same with potato fries, they come out nice on their own. Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. If I'm having rice, I use that for veggies too. 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. If you have more than 2 -3 people it might not be big enough. I don't like the pull out drawer ones. https://preview.redd.it/90u3bmpq9wye1.jpeg?width=3600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2983c5b6b0d4daf757196223e3e8c673f54b4073

Seconded. Most food airfryer cooking instructions say to cook in a single layer, and if you do a larger quantity of something you have to shake the food and it takes longer. I went from a PowerXL to a Ninja double basket 10qt and sometimes it even feels too small if you make two things.

Not quite the same, but I have switched from a Ninja AG651 to an AF451. One downside is definitely that I can't fit a large casserolle in ther anymore, but that's the only downside as well. The drawer-style is way quieter. Allows me to make crispy stuff alongside veggies which before just didn't crisp up properly. It does not require preheating. I have less space width-wise, but way more space to the top which makes bigger pieces of meat possible (for example one whole chicken, which before only worked spatchcocked). If I only have use one drawer the power-consumption is obviously less. Cleaning is way easier. Also the thermal probe is way better than my previous one.

I’ve been using this beast Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 XL 2- Basket fryer for a year, and it’s perfect for families or meal preppers. 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. It’s fast, easy to clean, and the 10-quart capacity is a lifesaver when hosting friends. Highly recommend if you need versatility and volume.

Dual ninja with the largest drawers. This is honestly the only answer. We have the 9l dual version and it was the best thing we have ever bought. Right now I have chicken breasts roasting in one drawer and pulled pork roasting in the other drawer.

We recently upgraded to one with two baskets and I think it is a game changer. If we were going to cook meat and veggies we would either have to do one after the other or do one in the oven. This way we can do both at once. It also has a feature so if they have two separate cook times, you can hit go and it will wait to start the other basket so they finish at the same time. I have seen some with one big basket and dividers and that would be kind of nice if you had a larger thing to cook. I think we have the Ninja Foodi 6 in 1. Forget if it’s the 8 or 10 quart. Also I would WAIT FOR BLACK FRIDAY DEALS. I feel like there are always so many air fryers on Black Friday. I think we got ours like half off at Target but not 100% sure.

Oh really? I figured there would be more in America but thought it had spread. I guess it also sort of centers around our thanksgiving holiday. Either way sale or not they’re worth it. My gf got one years ago and I thought it was some dumb tik tok fas she was buying into but we honestly use ours like every other day. Can get a nice crisp on things, don’t have to wait for it to preheat, and it’s very nice in the summer (especially if you don’t have AC which I know a lot of Europe does not) because you can cook without heating up your whole house/apartment from the oven! Two baskets isn’t necessary but I do think it’s worth paying extra for so you can do meat and veggies at the same time. Some have all these 6 in 1 or 7 in 1 but that’s mostly just marketing. It has settings that will change the temp ranges but will also change the Dan speed but I don’t think that is critical. Either way we like the one we have for sure! Let me know if you have any questions.

we have the ninja side by side. it works fine. you can operate both sides as one, if you want. and you can set both sides to finish at the same time if they have different settings. i don't like that you have to manually pause it if you don't want hot air just blowing out when you open a basket and it doesn't have a reminder to flip like our single basket Instant Vortex does.

If you’re dropping up to $300 on an air fryer, you’re in prime territory for getting something that’ll genuinely make your life easier (and make you wonder why you didn’t upgrade sooner). The Breville smart oven air fryer is definitely a high end choice. It’s basically an air fryer + toaster oven hybrid, so if you want something that looks sleek and does more than just air frying then go for this! But if you want a straight up air frying powerhouse, the Ninja foodi dualzone is AMAZING. Two independent baskets mean you can cook different foods at different temps at the same time (no more waiting for round two of fries!). The Cosori dual blaze is is also really nice. It has heating elements on both the top and bottom so you don’t even need to flip your food mid cook. I actually came across [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/airfryerhacks/comments/1izsvbo/confession_my_air_fryer_might_be_my_soulmate/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) that breaks down different models and why an air fryer is pretty much a kitchen essential.

If you’re making an entire meal in it, like a protein and vegetables, the dual/double basket is a great way to go. I have one and make our entire meal in it at least once or twice a week. We got a Ninja foodie, which has a “smart finish” option so that you can have things with different cook times, but you can set it so everything finishes at the same time.

I went through 3 of the non glass ones a few years ago and had to return them. After a few weeks of use, the metal fan would make contact with the lid (or something else in the air fryer) and would make this screeching metal-on-metal noise. Ended up getting the Ninja two basket from Costco eventually.

We have a Ninja with two baskets. Air fry, bake, roast, reheat, air broil, and dehydrate settings.  Been using for 2 years and we love it.  Very easy to clean the baskets. The metal trays come out and every thing goes in the dishwasher.  Highly recommend.

I have the no.1, Foodi dual basket. My only complaint is that the paint on the handles came off within a couple months from general handling, the grease from food, and I assume the dishwasher. The handles now look like beige plastic handles instead of silver handles. They should have just been metal faceplates over the plastic handles.

I have a ninja air fryer and I absolutely love it. I’m with you on the extra functions as I don’t ever use anything but air fryer mode but the model I have and the reason I bought it is because it has a smart finish and match cook functions. Mine has two baskets and if I set the first basket and then push match cook on the second one it automatically programs it the same which is great for making a lot of the same thing like French fries. The smart finish function is awesome because if I’m making lunch for my kids and they want chicken nuggets and French fries and they both cook for different times at different temps that function will sync the times up so both things finish at the same time. It’s amazing and I highly recommend that function exist regardless of what you buy. Having two bins alone is amazing but I use the shit out of smart finish. I got my ninja air fryer at target. I don’t recall the price.

Double basket ninja. It's the best I've ever owned.

We are also a family of two adults and a toddler, I'm veggie so we mostly eat veggie. And I do like to cook so it's not just throwing in frozen food but it's really good for that too. The only time I use the oven is for baking and I'm pretty sure you can do that in the air fryer but just not got round to it yet. We just upgraded ours to a Ninja that's got a double basket that can do different times and things but you can turn it into one big basket. If you have a really good oven and if it works fine for you then I'm not sure I would bother but if you don't then it's great.

I was able to get a refurbished Ninja dual zone on Amazon and it works like its brand new. I would definitely put money towards getting a name brand air fryer, it’ll just work better. We use it almost daily for roasted vegetables, but you can do meat in there if you want. It helps stay on budget by eliminating food waste. Since it doesn’t have a huge capacity, it’ll make the perfect amount for dinner and some leftover for next days lunch. Also, it does a great job of sprucing up what leftovers you do have, again reducing food waste. It’s a huge money saver!

I recently bought the Cosori Pro 2 and it completely blew my ninjas out of the water. I had a Ninja Foodi and the Ninja AF101 and Dual Zone (endless cycles of upgrading and gifting to friends who didnt have an air fryer). Got a Cosori as an extra air fryer. It was $48 on clearance at walmart due to the red color not being very popular. The Cosori performs better than the Ninja in a very key aspect, the removable basket design. Since the sides are also detachable from the overall basket, they can add vents to the side of the basket. This allows the circulation of air to the underside even if the basket is completely full. Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate. In a scenario where both are half empty, they perform the same - slight edge to the Ninja.The removable basket vents no longer makes me afraid of just dumping a bag of fries This is not worth selling your Ninja and buying a new Cosori. These downfalls can be easily solved by preheating, shaking or simply not overfilling. But it's nice to just set it and forget it And just a preference, I infinitely prefer cleaning the dual basket than trying to remove a hot plate from the bottom

Just purchased a new air fryer as our 4 year old one was dying. I did a lot of research, as I do with most things I buy. 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. I purchased a dual zone Ninja and I love it. It can also be programmed so that both side cook on the same setting if you cook one thing and need both sides. Highly recommend.

I'm guessing you're in the US? Your sockets can't give out enough juice, so if using both baskets they get throttled down. Outside the US we don't have that problem. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to cook when the time and temp settings change depending on if you're using one or both baskets! Ninja should have made the US model with two separate plugs, one for each side.

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.

The pressure cook option in my Foodi sometimes doesn't work whereas my 3 IPs always do and are really easy to clean.

Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi. It's also very loud whereas my Instant Pot (I happen to have 3) are quiet as a mouse. For pressure cooking alone the Instant Pot brand beats Ninja out imo. I prefer the basic IP models, as they are really good at what they do, alas the Ninja does more. I like the air crisp option on my Foodi but I'm not sure that alone is worth it. Bacon and burgers are really good in it after pressure cooking but chicken is gross on that one I learned. Ninja just doesn't excel to me in pressure cooking as it sometimes doesn't come to pressure at all. I'm actually trying to sell mine after only using it a few times.

I’ve had my Ninja Foodi for 4 years. Use it daily and it’s still fine.

I’ve had a Ninja Foodi for years. Usually more than £100 but think you can get manufacturer refurbs off of eBay for close to that price. It’s more than just an air fryer. It also has pressure cooker, sauté, roast, dehydrate as well as other functions I don’t use. Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them. Also use the pressure cooker for curries, and you can brown the meat in there first before switching to pressure. Mrs even used it to dehydrate orange slices to make her own Christmas wreathes. We wouldn’t be without it.

It’s amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn’t have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It’s a bit of a pain to clean but that’s the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It’s a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it’s definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you’re looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

My Ninja Foodi came with a non-stick pot, but I bought a replacement stainless steel pot on Amazon. I also replaced the non-stick rack with stainless steel. If anyone is concerned about the inner pot it’s easy to replace. Worth a little extra investment to protect our birds.

I have a Ninja Foodi that has been my primary device for years, bought one of these to combo with it as I couldn't pass up the pricing, and I actually use it more often my Ninja now! Of course there are certain functions that only my Foodi is capable of, but when it comes to plain ol' air frying the Gourmia is great

I'd vote for the Ninja foodie. I've been very happy with it after I bought and returned the Sur La Table. The slt is not only impossible to clean, but whoever designed & programed the UI (User interface) should be handed over to ISIS.

The Ninja Foodi and Cosori Pro are two of the best air fryers for even cooking, large capacity, and versatility. Instant Vortex Plus is another great choice with multiple functions like roasting and dehydrating. If you want something high-end, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is excellent.

I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation.  The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.

Yeah, this is weird - Ninja in the US has always said the opposite and people recommend them highly for that reason. I can even feel that mine are not like non-stick pans, it's definitely ceramic and not fully non-stick. I wonder if something changed, or if this is one of the things Europe/UK have less health restrictions compared to the US? We have a huge movement of objects being healthier for us, including pans and bakeware made without these chemicals. I feel like I mainly see the PTFE/PFOA-free pans compared to those with, now, even in cheap places like Walmart.

I had a Ninja Foodi, loved it and the surface area you have with it, it was great for reheating pizza. It doesn't crisp up the food quite as well as the basket style ones, but good enough. The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean. I cleaned it up as well as I could and used it another couple years, now I have a Dreo and the Foodi lives in the pantry until I need to reheat pizza. The Dreo is excellent. 10/10 as an air fryer, and the smart probe cooking actually works great, except I think mine had a software problem that would turn a 45 minute cook into 3 hours at random. A warranty replacement comes soon. The original works perfectly as a basic air fryer, so I'll give it to a friend. Ninja conventional air fryers I rate 1/10. I do not understand how they can not have a window so you know when the food is ready. We have one in our office kitchen, and unless you open it constantly, it is a total gamble how your food comes out. I have had a couple items that I followed the packaging directions and they came out burnt black and smoking. It's too bad because when you get the timing right, the Ninja does a nice job, just as good as the Dreo and better than the Foodi. Also, I don't understand why they have to preheat for longer than it takes to cool the food. An item that I know takes 4 minutes at 400 in my Dreo takes 4 minutes at 400 in the Ninja, but the Dreo requires no preheating and the Ninja needs a few minutes of preheating time. If the food comes out the same from both air fryers, why is the Ninja taking all that preheating time?
