"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"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."

"You don’t have to figure out timing with this one you can set one side for the temperature and the time and set the other side for a different temperature and time. Then you hit the start button and the oven pauses cooking for the one with a shorter cook time so they both finish at the same time. ... This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing. ... But you don’t have to do anything except set your oven. Set one side 350 for 60 minutes. Set the other side 375 for 40 minutes. Hit the button that says smart match. Then hit the button that says start One side of the oven is paused for 20 minutes, which makes them finish at the correct temperature and time. In other words, one of them cooks for 60 minutes at 350 and the other one cooks at 40 minutes for 375. ... It doesn’t take just as long if one takes 10 minutes at 350 and the other one takes 5 minutes at 350. You hit start and one side doesn’t start until five minutes later than the other one. If you have one that is 350 for 10 minutes and the other one is 375 for five minutes. One starts cooking at 350 for five minutes and then the other one starts cooking at 375. Both of them end up being finished at the same time. ... Mine is 1690 W in the US. This is mine and you can program two different products and two different drawers with two different cook times and temps to finish at the same time. ... This oven does it automatically. You set one side for time and temperature and the other side for another time and temperature and you hit the start button. The one with the lower cook time is paused and starts automatically to make them finish cooking at the same time. ... it has one drawer with two sections that you can cook two different foods at different times and they come out finished at the same time."

"My biggest complaint is that it takes forever when using both zones. ... It brags that you don’t have to batch cook, but at least with batch cooking I’d have something hot on the table while the second half cooks."
"as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. ... Basically double the cooking time. ... when switching to two it takes absolutely ages."
"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."

Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
r/Frugal • Tips for cooking without a stove/oven? Im not trying to sound dumb lol just maybe having it spelled out for me will help? Thanks ->My roommates and I recently went with the Ninja 6-in-1 since we cook together a lot and it's been great. I'm a sucker for a simple UX/not overcomplicating things when it comes to kitchen stuff and it seemed like one of the better options on that front. Also have a ninja blender so I know they make decent stuff. Would recommend to just go with the one that fits your intended use. You don't want to get a big bulky one that will stick out on your counter if you don't need to.
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer Right Now? Recommendation? ->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.
r/Costco • Ninja Air Fryer Reviews - Insight ->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.
r/Costco • Ninja Air Fryer Reviews - Insight ->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.
r/Costco • Ninja Air Fryer Reviews - Insight ->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."
r/Costco • Ninja Air Fryer Reviews - Insight ->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.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->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.
r/cookingforbeginners • Best budget air fryer? ->I 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.
r/airfryer • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended air fryers in the past year ->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 ->I love the Ninja flexdrawer AF500 it’s a big piece of kit but it’s amazing
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer ->I have had a ninja duel for 2 1/2 years and still working great
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->I have a ninja dual and I love it
r/airfryer • I want to buy a double basket airfryer, what are the best and worst ones out there? And why? ->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.
