"Very easy to clean the baskets. ... The metal trays come out and every thing goes in the dishwasher."
"very easy to clean ... we threw out the Phillips XXL because it was so cumbersome and hard to clean in comparison."
"all the grease and fat falls to the bottom so it's easy to pull the drawer and empty it out."

"As this has same capacity but takes up less space on counter top, than the side by side model."
"slightly skinnier than the others so uses a little less bench space."
"neemt weinig ruimte in omdat de mandjes niet naast elkaar zitten maar boven elkaar"

"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."
"If you regularly cook legs of lamb or large whole chicken or other poultry. Obviously they will not fit."

"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."

"The mistake I made when new was using silicone trays. Thought they save effort on cleaning. Chicken bone in & skin on thighs raw near the bone after recommended cooking time. Took lots of putting back & more cooking. Think eventually it nearer an hour to cook instead of 20 minutes. ... After a few days of such disasters. I realised it’s due to the silicone trays blocking the back Vent holes at the drawer backs. Also blocking air that should come up through the Crisper Plates. Same would have occurred with Parchment Liners. I did try collapsing the Silicone Trays. But they rose up during cooking, so still blocking the air Vents on the Drawers backs."
"I've tried cooking fish and broccoli and cauliflower in mine and the results have truly been subpar compared to my oven or BBQ, or a pan. ... I find it to be the worst at cooking vegetables. Both the oven or BBQ are way better. ... To me the oven is so much better at vegetables. You can set it to a nice 375 and that results in excellent browning for the outside, and perfect doneness on the inside. The air fryer in my experience just crisps the outside but doesn't cook the inside properly. ... I also don't want vegetables to have to be like basically diced haha."
050198 1.0We have this model. Can confirm it cooks unevenly. You can counteract it if you’re mindful to turn the food through the cooking process, but it can be a pain
0verthinking_it 0.2Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
1GamingAngel 0.2Ninja seems to have a good strong fan system that circulates the air well. I prefer two baskets that have coordinated cooking.
a-aron1112 0.2I 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.
abcdefghabca 1.0Dude 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
Got the uk twin draw so like 2400+ watts, it’s great, very even and fast cooking on either draw
Adorable_Tour_8849 1.0I have a ninja dual and I love it
aga-lee 0.3Ja mialam xiaomi i jest wspanialy. Pozniej kupilam ninja max 9.5 litra z 2 szufladami. Ale jedzienie mi lepiej wychodzi w duzo tanszym xiaomi. Ktore również sie przypomina zeby pomieszac. Teraz stoja dwa i uzywam na zmianę zalezy co gotuję.
Aggressive-System192 1.0I have ninja dual stack and it's a life saver. I can cook 2 things at once and not having to be constantly putting things in the oven and checking on them. It has the functions to match the cooking time for things to finish at the same time and you can have 2 layers in the same basket. It cooks much faster than the oven does. It ended up being smaller than I expected, but fits more than what I expected. Bonus function is not heating up the whole house just for a meal, like the oven does. I love that I'm not a sweaty and smelling like a pig after making dinner. I put my air frier close to the kitchen fan and turn it on. I should have bought it sooner. PS: watch out the air frier exhaust. Mine melted a cheap toaster that's encased in plastic.
airmind 0.7It's not about the cooking method. Brining/marinading + making sure they are flat and more or less equal in thickness + taking it out at the right internal temperature is the key. I know double stack ninja model has a built in thermometer for monitoring food temp, but you can buy one separately. It will level up your chicken breasts.
ajguk 1.0It's not the best. Definite differences in heat levels between the front and back of the drawers so you have to move things round more than you ah pull. Zero preheat time though and it's got a small footprint for so much capacity.
