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? ->Foodi pressure cooks just fine Depends. Any device with "air fry" mode is going to be a compromise compared to a real air fryer. Personally I find the Foodi's two lid system to be clunky and annoying to deal with. I pretty much just use my convection oven instead of the foodi. I use a stovetop pressure cooker myself. But I definitely wouldn't recommend the foodi for mainly pressure cooking because the air fryer lid is permanently attached. So that would be pretty much always in the way.
r/PressureCooking • Instant Pot vs Ninja Foodi vs Separate Air Fryer: Best for Pressure Cooking (Mostly) and Air Frying (Sometimes)? ->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 ->I'd recommend the Ninja Dual Foodie, it has two drawers so you can only use one drawer for a small amount, or both for larger or different things.
r/newzealand • Air fryer for one... ->Any dual compartment Ninjia. Ninja until I die. Amazing bang for your buck
r/waterford • Air fryer ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

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? ->I just got this one a few weeks ago and I love it. You can cook one big item or two smaller items. You can also time them to finish cooking at the same time. Ninja DZ071 Foodi 6-in-1 FlexBasket Air Fryer with 7-QT MegaZone & Basket Divider https://www.ninjakitchen.com/products/ninja-foodi-flexbasket-air-fryer-with-7qt-megazone-zidDZ071
r/airfryer • Is there a big single basket for a dual air fryer? ->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.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->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.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->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. I have heard people talking about voltage and I don't get it. I am in the US and my oven says the voltage on my oven is a little under 1700 W. Not sure I understand what that means if you're setting your oven for 350°.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I have the one that has the option to use one side or the other or take out the divider and cook a big item so I'm not sure if it operates the same way as mine. That being said....... I said you set the temperature on one side for what the box or recipe cause for. Then you set the time and temperature for the other side for what the box or the recipe calls for. Then you hit start. If one recipe calls for 15 minutes less than the other, it gets paused for five minutes.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->Mine is the flex basket. The one in that photo is not. Mine has separate eating elements and it's awesome. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ninja+DZ071&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fpisces.bbystatic.com%2Fimage2%2FBestBuy_US%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2F6551%2F6551536cv17d.jpg
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->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. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ninja+DZ071&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fpisces.bbystatic.com%2Fimage2%2FBestBuy_US%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2F6551%2F6551536cv17d.jpg
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->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.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I just got this air fryer a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. So glad that another brand that I ordered first was defective and I had to return it. The first one was an air fryer oven, which is what I had before it died. So happy I went with a regular air fryer that was not also a convection oven. EDIT: I just noticed this has two drawers and mine doesn't 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. You can also remove the divider and cook one big item. Mine is a Ninja with what they call a Megazone.
r/airfryer • Ninja Dual ->I've had mine for years can't beat them
r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->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 ->Ninja foodie. It is an air fryer, pressure cooker, it can bake and work like a stove top. With it you don't need another appliance

r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Double basket ninja. It's the best I've ever owned. Do not go for the cheap recommendations, I used to have a cheap gournia and another cheap brand (both were ~50 bucks), not very consistent, didn't cook all parts at same speed, etc. I love to cook everything in my ninja, lately I've been into cooking frozen steaks, better than sous vide etc and much easier and leave the best crust
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →If you're making an entire meal in it, like a protein and vegetables, the dual/double basket is a great way to go. I have one and make our entire meal in it at least once or twice a week. We got a Ninja foodie, which has a "smart finish" option so that you can have things with different cook times, but you can set it so everything finishes at the same time.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →We like our Ninja Foodie. It has a large counter footprint when in use, but folds up against the wall.
r/Frugal • View on Reddit →I agree with this, I've had two previous air fryers and just bought this one, it is way better than all others and I love the dual drawers even for one person.
r/newzealand • View on Reddit →This model of ninja is inherently flawed as an airfyer and the heating element is at the back. Reviews show it can lead to uneven cooking. If you have the space opt for the side-by-side ninja dual basket one, it goes up to 240C as well.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I have a Ninja foodi and a Ninja toaster style air fryer. I love the Foodi for home fries and baking small cakes and as a rice cooker. I use it nearly daily. We got the toaster style one for toasting bread, for roasting vegetables, and baking small pizzas. Like every appliance, you have to consider your space and what you cook. For us, it's been great.
r/Cooking • View on Reddit →We were recommended the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer and couldn't be happier. One or two small compartments or open it up for a single large one. We cook everything from a handful of nuggets and wedges to a two-kilo chicken.

This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I had a Foodie for a few years until it stopped working. It was a great pressure cooker and a decent air fryer but I am much more satisfied with separate devices now.
r/PressureCooking • View on Reddit →Super je ako ne želiÅ¡ konstantno paliti pećnicu, odliÄan je. Ali nije niÅ¡ta zdravije. Ja imam Ninja, onaj sa dvije koÅ¡are i top mi je. Imala sam i jeftinije, al' u ovo se bas ispalti uložiti
r/hrvatska • View on Reddit →Ninja foodi, you get an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, we use ours a lot. You can make soups, hot dishes, bake, broil, pressure cook. Can cook almost anything in it.
r/Cooking • View on Reddit →I've used a few air fryers, but the one that really impressed me was the Ninja DualZone.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →the question is what ypi are after,. most air fryers do work and from my experience mechanicals have a tendency to do better in certain things, here are a few I have, I have at least 4 brands in my home and would be doing a test soon of them: [Philips](https://s.shopee.ph/6psbzlCuSe): probably easiest to use in the mechanical setting, it has a button to remove the tray so you wont get burned, takes a abit of time to preheat, i alwatys wait 5 minutes para umabot ng temp, everything is manual, can handle a lot of things but due to it being manual, you have to do the calculations yourself. very easy to clean, good enough size that you can place anything inside, temp is adequate. trays easily removed. all in all, this one has lasted the longest. [Instant pot](https://s.shopee.ph/1qTw2Y1H7v): if you want something to remove the guesses, this is the one, daming kayang gawin, ive done sundried tomatoes, meals, whole chicken, this thing will tell you when preheating is done, it will tell you to switch the chicken upside down, it will tell you halos lahat, timer is good, malakas yn tunog to tell you you have to do this or that. ito naman cons nya, number 1, yn tray you need to remove it directly, di tulad ng iba. ano con is that rubber yn sa gilid nya pero parang tunog nagscratch pagninilgay mo pero overall its a master of all. [midea](https://s.shopee.ph/5q04noOHtg): mechanical as well quite cute, the temp controls are just dials, handles well, first time used had plastic smell, removed aftgter 2 times use, easy cleaning not digital, so you need to wait for preheating, i do 5 minutes, descent size not great [ninja foodi](https://s.shopee.ph/7V8In0Rlyt): probably the one one that can do grilling properly but dang it is expensive, lots of removable parts and good quality, takes a bit os space though, does grilling and airfrying well pero not that much sa iba, expensive affiliate link posted with pictures of the units. i have more air fryers at home. https://preview.redd.it/7y8mbik0g4zf1.png?width=3099&format=png&auto=webp&s=981d61c6389d836deddc9c2b09e6a78c9134175c
r/ShopeePH • View on Reddit →Seconding Ninja. I've had the double basket for years now and it works flawlessly after running it at least four times a week. Before I had that I had a Kitchen Aid convection toaster oven that failed and caught fire internally. Ninja is my go to brand now. I got their blender-food processor combo about a year ago and (despite sounding like a jet taking off) it's the best blender I've ever owned. It laughs at crushing a full pitcher of ice.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →We have a Ninja Foodie - it bakes, toasts, broils, air-fries...

r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I have loved my ninja foodi fiercely for the last 4 years. We had to replace it and got a dual basket one and omg. We have been eating soggy mush for years. It's so much faster, stuff is CRISPY. I Couldn't agree more, go simple.

r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Any dual compartment Ninjia. Ninja until I die. Amazing bang for your buck
r/waterford • View on Reddit →I read the rest of your post. If you want to do a full chicken then I would pick the one in the top right corner. They make different sizes so get the one with the largest capacity and I've found they make different quality models. I'm not sure the best ones name or number but it has much better heat coils and the drawer is a solid piece not screwed together
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Was it the two basket ninja? Because we bought that one at Costco and ended up returning it.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →We have a ninja foodie, that I can't use anymore. It's mostly used for fries and chicken nuggets. We used to cook bacon in it and it was delicious. I am going to buy myself a small air fryer for fries and chicken nuggets. I like crispy nuggets and they do not get crispy in the oven. I really wanted a small ninja foodie but they don't make them anymore.
r/glutenfree • View on Reddit →We had a toaster oven style and it wasn't much better than a toaster oven. Nothing actually got crispy, I don't think the air moves as much as a basket style. Have since replaced it with the 2-basket ninja and probably use it for 80% of our meals, it is great
r/EatCheapAndHealthy • View on Reddit →Air fryer is great. I have one of the double basket models and have been using it regularly for at least 4 years now. Blender sucks. I've never used a ninja blender that wasn't total shit. Try to find a used vitamix or blendtec blender, even one with 1/10th of its life left is still better than a brand new ninja blender.

r/airfryer • View on Reddit →The Ninja Foodie Flex Basket. You can have it be a dual fyer with different temps on each side or you can take out the divider to cook more or something bigger and make it a "megazone" with utilizes both sides at the same time.
r/EatCheapAndHealthy • View on Reddit →I never used the actifry but I used ninjas similar to the ones in the top right corner. I preferred the top one with the "Mega Zone". It's nice having the option to have one large air fryer basket. I haven't used the single mega zone feature yet but I plan to cook maybe 3 large chicken breast in it at a time
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I got the Ninja one that has 2 baskets. I thought I'd love it because you could use one basket at a time but honestly I hate it. Each basket is too small. No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area.
r/Costco • View on Reddit →Yeah, I have a dual basket Ninja and I don't recommend it. 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.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I've had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn't recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It's not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.
