"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."

0verthinking_it 0.8Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
7saligia 0.4Can 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."
90s_vibe 0.9So 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.
9yoboi 0.7Given 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.
a-aron1112 1.0I 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 0.7Dude 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
AdAble2402 1.0I love the Ninja flexdrawer AF500 it’s a big piece of kit but it’s amazing
Adorable_Tour_8849 1.0I have had a ninja duel for 2 1/2 years and still working great
I have a ninja dual and I love it
aga-lee 0.7Ja 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.
Aggravating_Court_40 0.9Yup I did a post on mine several months ago. Definitely takes more time when cooking with both sides and it can be hard to figure out timing. I wish I stuck with my single one.
I just mean in the sense that it cooks a lot slower using both sides vs one so have to figure out timing for stuff to be done. It isn't the usual times I would set when using just one side. Apparently this is an issue in the US due to voltage from what I was told numerous times on my last post. Just wish I knew before I got it. If you're in the US and this one takes just as long when you use both sides, you're lucky I guess. 🤷♀️ i have much longer cook times using both sides than I do with one, or with my one basket ninja I used to have.
