"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."
"My Ninja dual basket air fryer runs at a lower heat if both baskets are being used"
"takes almost twice as much time to cook the food as using one basket at a time."

"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."

"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."

"the top rack is so narrow."
We 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
r/airfryer • What airfryer should I get ->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 ->Got the uk twin draw so like 2400+ watts, it’s great, very even and fast cooking on either draw
r/airfryer • Hidden Cons? Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L (not Max), XXXL FlexDrawer 10.4L, DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L ->Ja 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.
r/Polska • Air fryer - teflonowe rozkminy i jakie typy warto rozwazyc ->I 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.
r/Parenting • Is an air fryer worth it? ->It'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.
r/airfryer • My very first air fryer ->It'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.
r/airfryer • What airfryer should I get ->Can’t say I’ve tried any others but I’ve never had any issues with my Ninja. I have the one that’s stacked instead of side by side to save counter space and I love it. Only complaint is the cord is a bit short.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Airfryer to Buy Right Now? ->Congratulations! We are a two too - gave just bought a Ninja stacked - love it !!
r/airfryer • best air fryer for 2 people? Recently married :) ->That one was also at the top of my list but ultimately, I think I made the better choice. I think with that model, I heard a lot of people saying that the bottom didn’t cook at the same rate as the top. I suppose you could compensate for that if you were cooking different items. There is also one that has two dedicated drawers that I heard good things about but if you ever wanted to make a big item like a roasted chicken, it would be hard unless you get a small chicken.
r/airfryer • First time air fryer ->Any dual compartment Ninjia. Ninja until I die. Amazing bang for your buck
r/waterford • Air fryer ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
