$80-$219
Pros
  • Removable divider converts between one large zone and two separate cooking zones
  • Fits a whole 1.3kg chicken comfortably in the combined space
  • Sync cook feature times both zones to finish simultaneously
  • 8 cooking modes including air fry, bake, roast, broil, dehydrate, reheat
  • Dishwasher-safe parts
Cons
  • Cooking pauses on both zones when you pull out the basket to check food
  • Larger combined basket is bulkier to clean than two smaller drawers
  • Some baked goods came out misshapen due to wells in the bottom plate
Why we recommend it

If you hate the idea of being locked into two small baskets, this is your answer. The convertible design solves the biggest complaint about dual-basket air fryers, and it still syncs cook times perfectly.

What the experts said

We were able to comfortably fit a whole 1.3-kilogram chicken inside and the results were impressive – we're talking crisp, browned skin and juicy meat in just 40 minutes.

The ability to sync cooking times makes this model stand out, especially if you're cooking different items simultaneously in the basket. The parts are easy to clean but like most air fryers, cooking will pause on both zones when you pull it out to check on food.
