#1 Ninja Foodi 2-Basket Air Fryer (DualZone) Best Overall
Editor's take
Dual baskets and intelligent syncing make this the most versatile air fryer for 2025.
Model codes vary by size (e.g., DZ201, DZ401); verify the exact capacity you need.
Ninja’s DualZone Air Fryer offers two independent baskets for cooking different foods simultaneously at separate temperatures. SyncFinish and MatchCook ensure dishes complete together, simplifying meal prep. The interface provides dedicated buttons for Air Fry, Air Broil, Roast, Reheat, and Dehydrate, with individual basket controls. Heat distribution is even, preheating is fast, and the nonstick baskets with removable crisper plates make cleanup straightforward. Ideal for families or meal preppers, it balances capacity, flexibility, and reliable results. Noise is moderate, and the exterior remains cool during operation. While it lacks a viewing window, audible alerts and periodic shaking make cooking progress easy to manage.
