Ninja Foodi DualZone Air Fryer (8-qt, DZ201)

Dual independent baskets let you cook two foods two ways simultaneously — a genuine game-changer for family meals. Wings and fries come out perfectly crispy every time, and the baskets are dishwasher-safe.

$160-$200
Pros
  • Dual 4-qt baskets cook two foods independently or synced to finish together
  • 8-qt total capacity handles full family meals or big party batches
  • Doesn't pause when you pull a basket to check food — rare and useful feature
  • Dishwasher-safe baskets that are easier to clean than most 6-qt models
  • Temperature range 105°F–450°F with 6 functions: air fry, broil, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate
Cons
  • Dual-basket operation has a slight learning curve when switching between zones
  • Takes up significant counter space at 13.9" x 15.6"
  • Pricier than single-basket alternatives at similar capacity
