Foodi Dual Zone Series

Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.

Ninja seems to have a good strong fan system that circulates the air well. I prefer two baskets that have coordinated cooking.

We went back and forth on one for years... finally bought the Ninja Foodie one that doubles as 7 other tools (oven, toaster etc) and we use it EVERY day. The reheat feature is crazy good and the flat design is the basket means it's actual better at being a fryer than the deep basket ones. Get one, best thing in our kitchen beside old cast iron pans!

Can anyone who has this speak to how difficult it is to clean? I have a similar toaster oven that's larger, but the drip tray and heating elements are a PITA to clean and it's got more space than this one.

I picked up the foil trick way too late on my current one, which is partially why I want to replace it. Buuut my current one still works fine, and I'm not quite convinced the space savings is enough to justify a new one.

Pizza is absolutely what screwed w/ the heating elements on my current one. If they were more easily accessible, it would perhaps be tolerable, but they're not.

Yep! I unfortunately didn't realize how quickly that stuff seems to meld to the racks/tray until too late. In attempts to clean it, the coating on those items started flaking, and now they're just a complete mess, which is partially why I want something new to start over so that I can "do it right."

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.

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.

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
