What customers say
The Ninja Foodi DualZone Air Fryer earns high marks for its exceptional convenience and versatility. Its standout DualZone technology lets you cook two different foods simultaneously with separate settings, finishing at the same time. This significantly simplifies meal prep, especially for busy individuals. Users appreciate the faster cooking times and healthier, oil free results. The generous 8 quart capacity, divided into two baskets, accommodates larger meals effectively without flavor transfer. Beyond air frying, its ability to roast, bake, and dehydrate reduces the need for a conventional oven. Simple controls and easy cleaning further enhance the user experience, making this appliance a highly recommended tool for modern kitchens.
Know before you buy
Yes, the two 4-quart baskets are completely independent. Because each zone has its own heating element and fan, you can cook different items simultaneously without flavor transfer.
Smart Finish allows you to program two different cooking times and temperatures for the two baskets while ensuring they finish at the exact same time. It prevents one dish from getting cold while you wait for the other to finish.
The 8-quart capacity is generally sufficient for a family of four. While the two 4-quart baskets are perfect for side dishes or smaller proteins, they may be too small for a whole large chicken or extra-large batches of food.
Yes, both the nonstick baskets and the crisper plates are dishwasher safe. For the longest lifespan of the nonstick coating, hand-washing with a soft sponge is recommended.
The unit measures approximately 13.86 inches wide and 15.63 inches deep. You will need to ensure you have enough clearance around the sides and back for proper ventilation during operation.
Absolutely. This model includes six functions: Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate, giving you the versatility to handle everything from crispy vegetables to baked goods.
