"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"
"Even without dishwasher its so easy to clean since its a non-stick bowl so a few gentle swipes makes it clean in like 3 seconds! ... I just cook, take out food, quick rinse and done! Easy-peasy!"
"Ridiculously easy."

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"lately I've been into cooking frozen steaks, better than sous vide etc and much easier and leave the best crust"
"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."

"We use our Ninja Dual Basket every day, best purchase ever"
"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."
"I’ve had my Ninja Foodi for 4 years. Use it daily and it’s still fine."

"the 10-quart capacity is a lifesaver when hosting friends."
"Ninja Foodi Dualzone XL is a beast if you’re cooking for a family or want to make two different things at once. ... The dual baskets are super handy. ... Perfect for batch cooking or entertaining."
"Each container is 5 qt so great capacity."

"until it stopped working"
"Or at least it was till I set one of the lids on fire but that’s another story."
"after 2 years needs replacement parts (grill, pan, and basket). The cost to replace these parts is nearly equal to buying a new unit."

"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."
"Whenever you cook with both baskets it just doesn't have enough power for that so it cooks way worse ... so you end up just always using only 1 basket."
"takes almost twice as much time to cook the food as using one basket at a time."

"Baskets are small ... the quantity for those two things is small"
"Baskets are small"
"Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate."
They probably haven't been around long enough to really prove the test of time. However I have had the Ninja DZ401 for 3 years and we have used it almost daily. Edit: rephrased after having my coffee
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL Air Fryer recommendations? ->I have the ninja double basket from Costco. Having the two baskets and being able to cook two different things at once is nice. I don’t use it as often, but it is a nice convenience for when you want something quick
r/Cooking • [ Removed by moderator ] ->You should get the 400 if you ever cook for more than two or three people. They both have the same programs, etc. Ninja makes great air fryers! You won’t regret it I promise.
r/airfryer • Cant decide between Ninja AF300 vs AF400 ->Love my Ninja af400 dual basket It's so nice to cooking the food you need and be done at the same time using the match button I never use my oven anymore
r/airfryer • I want to buy a double basket airfryer, what are the best and worst ones out there? And why? ->I have the ninja af400 dual basket and I love it was looking at this one to replace the big one but I did stay with my af400. Ppl are talking good about this one on the pic.
r/airfryer • What airfryer should I get ->I did go for ninja af400 dual basket it has total capacity of 9.5 liters and good price
r/airfryer • When buying your first fryer, should you just focus on quart size and prince range? ->Ninja Foodi Dualzone XL is a beast if you’re cooking for a family or want to make two different things at once. The dual baskets are super handy, and the Smart Finish feature ensures both finish cooking at the same time. Cleanup is easy since the baskets are dishwasher-safe. Perfect for batch cooking or entertaining.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->I don't honestly think they have been around long enough to prove the equivalent longevity of a kitchenaid/magimix. I can say I've had mine for 2 1/2 years with daily use and its still going strong (ninja af400)
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->You'll find that you'll use it a lot and having one with dual fryers is well worth the small extra cost. I'm in a similar family situation. It's not that we use both drawers at the same time all the time, but one is often in the wash, or dirty and waiting to be washed, or we're using one to cook the meal and the other to heat nans, or something like that. Ours has 100% changed the way we cook. We only turn the oven on once every month I'd say. That's usually for a large roast, even smaller roasts get done in the air fryer. It's not on your list, but we have **Ninja** Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF400UK and I think it's the best kitchen gadget we've ever bought.
r/IndianFood • Which air fryer to go for: Kent(8l) or phillips. ->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.
r/Cooking • Best value Air fryer that is able to cook 2 things at once ->If you have the space, the Ninja AF400 is incredible and worth every penny
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer ->I struggled to choose the right air fryer until I found this post with detailed reviews. It helped me pick the Ninja DZ401, and I’m really happy with it! Check it out!
