Ninja DZ201 Foodi 8 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone 2-Basket Air Fryer with 2 Independent Frying Baskets, Match Cook & Smart Finish to Roast, Broil, Dehydrate & More for Quick, Easy Meals, Grey

We’ve had a few air fryers but this is by far the best one. Given this as a gift to our son and a few friends and family members. Definitely recommend!!!

This was an excellent addition to my kitchen. I love that it has two baskets and an option to set them to finish at the same time despite different cooking times for each basket. Very convenient and easy to use.

Having an air fryer w/ dual zones is awesome, and this thing cooks great, Takes some time to figure out what setting you want, if what your cooking/frying/roasting, etc... is frozen or thawed. Also having a button that can have both zones match to ease baking, etc.. is huge when you're cooking for multiple meals.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE. LOVE HOW IT TIMES FOODS TO FINISH AT THE SAME TIME. Everything I've tried so far - has come out very good. Highly recommend this machine...

I love this air fryer. No more pain frying for me. Everything comes out crispy. The best part is you just pull the doors out for an easy clean. I had one that looked like a toaster oven and it was so hard to keep clean.

This is our first air fryer and we chose this because of the larger basket. While we have not done a large item, we have used it a variety of ways both with and without the divider. Trial and error in finding the correct time and temp specific to this unit, because the cooking instructions on the food packaging is very general. At this time it I have been unable to find dehydrator racks sized for the full basket. Some reviews online have shown some temperature bleed between compatments, even with the divider but we haven't had any major issue with that. Clean up is super easy although the size of the megazone basket means it doesn't fit well in the sink. Fortunately a good wipe with a soapy cloth usually does the trick. The large unified basket also makes shaking the food a bit awkard. Overall, with nothing else to campare it to, I would recommend this.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about this airfryer. The two baskets make cooking a quick meal easier than ever. We tried cooking chicken nuggets in one side and french fries in the other. The settings timed them so they finished at the same time...no more cold nuggets while waiting for the fries to finish cooking. The grand kids love it too!

Me encanta esta freidora de aire, ya que se pueden cocinar/hornear muchos alimentos diferentes, desde un huevo hasta postres o panes más elaborados. Mi única queja es que el espacio de la charola podría ser más alto, como en la freidora de doble canasta, creo que es un aspecto importante a tener en cuenta.

I recently purchased this dual-zone air fryer (upgrading from the 1 compartment Ninja version that I've had for years), and while it’s a fantastic product overall, there are a lot of settings to learn. The ability to cook two different dishes simultaneously and have them finish at the same time is a game-changer. This air fryer simplifies the entire process of cooking two different things with different cook temps and timing.

However, I found that it comes with almost too many features (I only bought it for the air fry function). While some might appreciate the extensive options (Air Broil, Roast, Reheat, Dehydrate, Bake), it can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if you’re just looking to make a quick air fry meal for the kids. It took me a bit of time to get the hang of everything, but once I did, I found it incredibly convenient.

Despite the learning curve, the dual-zone feature works like a charm, and the food turns out perfectly cooked every time. It’s a great product for anyone looking to streamline their cooking process, though be prepared to spend some time familiarizing yourself with all the functions. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

I could write a book about how great the two-compartment air fryer is. I used to have to cook my salmon first and then my veggies, but not now! It works great, and it is easier to clean. You won't be disappointed.

This air fryer is great to use for all kinds of foods with different settings. Two baskets with either match cooking or separate cooking. Easy clean, non stick and fairly simple to use.

This is a must have kitchen essential! So easy to use, has made hectic weeknight cooking a breeze! The baskets are huge and can hold a good amount of food! It is very easy to clean, the drawers come right out, must have a non stick material on or something, but it doesn't touch the food. We've made amazing food in here so far!

I have had this for a while and we use it all the time. From airfry to reheat, it’s going almost every meal. It’s not small but find a place to tuck it away and you won’t regret it!

Love this air fryer. Haven’t used the thermometer feature yet, but will be simple enough. It’s a little bulky to have on my countertop but I love how much food I can fit in at one time!

Air fryer is fine, but cleaning it is another matter. There are NO instructions on how best to clean and/or protect the cooking coils from oil splatter. Cooked meatballs and oil from meat splatter on coils and started a little smoke-fest. Not Good!! How do you clean this air fryer to avoid smoking up the kitchen. HELP!!!

I donated my cosoro to a family member so I had an excuse to upgrade to a ninja dual airfyer roaster air broiler and dehydrator. And inwas not disappointed I have used the smart finish for a 6lb chicken roaster with cauliflower being airfried and the delayed start on the cauliflower allowed me to set it and forget it until both were cooked and finished. I am currently roasting a 7lb pork butt steak that was sliced in half to fit into both with two different flavor seasonings using the match cook. The airfryer is powerful so allow less time than maybe your older airfryers. Very easy to clean as the plates are nonstick can be handwashed very easily. Now size on your counter for the 10qt. Just give it room park it and make it your kitchen centerpiece. As you can see mine took pride of place in the corner where I have plenty of room to pull it out and allow a nice circle of air to flow. Worth the buy especially when you have 102 degree weather and the last thing you want is a hot oven roasting Sunday dinner and the house.. great investment!

My old air fryer by Power XL (dual basket) was recalled, so I purchased this Ninja Foodi as a replacement. The Ninja is superior, in my opinion. It has a smaller footprint, leaving more counter space, and is noticeably quieter! The only function I've tried is the air fryer function. Food cooks evenly and comes out crispy! For best results, food should be shaken halfway through cooking. The only downfall is minor. When you open the drawer to shake the food, the air fryer doesn't automatically stop running. You have to physically push the pause button. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it for big families.

I needed a new air fryer and wanted one that could hold more. I love that I can cook two things at one time or take out the divider and cook larger items. I cooked steaks in it the other night and they turned out great.

For the longest time I have been thinking about buying a air fryer but have been putting it off until prime day. Well I bought this because it was big and could do lots of things. I tried it out for the first time yesterday with chicken thigh 6 pieces shake and bake coating. It only took 30 minutes they were crispy and juice so much faster than the oven or in a fryer and so much healthier. 5 stars and it cheaper on the electric bill to. Very happy with this product.

I just received this, Got way to excited and popped chicken breast and steak on either tray to test it.
I followed the handy cook book it came with, I was really surprise both came out exactly as what I expected.
Chicken breast was juicy and cooked thoroughly. Steak Medium rare Juicy.
I am impressed, within 20 mins dinner lunch is done , and best part , no dishes LOL

I like the two different compartments for different foods. Lots of settings for just right food. The only thing I don’t like is that it is very tall - I didn’t think it would be that tall

This is our second purchase of this same air fryer. The first one was used multiple times a day for four years and the coating was starting to fail. I scrubbed it and soaked it but the oil was baked on, so we just bought a brand new one. Definitely worth the money.

I was a first time air fryer user but I found the quick start user guide very understandable. The double drawer option allows me to cook large family packs of chicken wings or boneless skinless thighs. For smaller meals a single drawer works fine. The air fryer is well made and looks very classy on the kitchen counter top.

Really nice and Big air fryer. Always heard great things about these so I figured I’d give it a try since they were on sale. Will update after I use it a bit. But so far so good

My daughter got one of these one year ago and it is still in perfect condition. She uses it daily as a mom of 3 little greedy girls. I’ve been waiting on mine to bite the dust so I can get the double basket Ninja so hopefully mine is as good as hers.

Después de ver varios comentarios , me decidí a comprar esta freidora y la verdad recibí mas de lo que pensaba . Que de enamorada de lo bella que se ve lo funcional, fácil de manejar y lo mejor que tanto la freidora como hornear son excelentes. Si te gusta comer saludable tienes que comprar esta freidora . Yo le daría un 10/10

If you read the other reviews, I had pretty much the same experience. Ninja already has a very quality name for these cookers. This is more than just an air fryer as it has other uses, such as baking, reheating, broiling, etc. I got it for a pretty good price as well. You will not be disappointed.

This is our first air fryer, and we absolutely love it. It takes a little time to get the gist of how to use it but it gets used daily. We recommend purchasing the silicone liners, also.

I have been reviewing air fryers for quite some time. Wanted a dual basket and always circled back to this foodi. Day of arrival I decided to give it a test run with a salmon filet. The directions were necessary as the foodi is not intuitive but once I understood how it works incredibly easy. Found it easy to clean as well. One thing I learned was the recommended time to air fry the fish was too long so happy I stopped the cooking process when I did or the fish would have been dried out. I would recommend the Ninja dual basket air fryer and am looking forward to exploring a variety of recipes.

I LOVE French fries. I do not eat frozen ones. This air fryer makes the most delicious fries. I cut the potatoes into strips, mix them with a teaspoon of olive oil and air fry them. So crispy and delicious. The roast mode is great for reheating roasted items as well. Buy this. You won't be disappointed. PS Clean up is simple.

I give this air fryer 4 stars, almost 5. The main feature in my opinion is its size. My previous air fryer had a capacity of 5.8 qt, but this new 7-qt air fryer can accommodate much more, for example it can fit like 4 additional chicken drumsticks. The increased capacity is a game-changer for larger meals.

The air fryer is incredibly easy to use. The included instructions with recommended settings, times, and temperatures for different foods are very helpful.

The build quality is awesome, I can tell it's going to last. My last air fryer broke after just 3 months, but I've been using this one daily for 2 months without any issues. The Ninja brand's reputation for durability gives me confidence in its longevity. It's a bit heavy, but that kinda gives me confidence that this thing was built well.

In terms of food results, I've been very impressed. It has delivered great results for chicken, shrimp, roasted potatoes, salmon, hot dogs, I also tried to toast some already cooked rice just to see what would happen and it actually WORKED. I absolutely love the roast setting, which makes juicy chicken every time. The basket divider and MegaZone options add versatility, allowing me to cook different foods simultaneously.

So, why not 5 stars? Firstly, I wish the basket was a bit taller. The guide claims it can fit a whole chicken, but I tried and it didn't fit for me. I had to flatten it for it to fit. Secondly, it doesn't cook French fries very well. They come out unevenly cooked, even after 30-40 minutes of cooking. They don't achieve the crispy or semi-crispy results I was hoping for. Perhaps I need to find a guide for cooking French fries.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. The thing just looks very nice and it has gotten compliments from people haha. Another great point is it's sound, I don't think it's loud at all. In my opinion, it's 100% worth it, and I highly recommend it.

We have had this product for two years and use it multiple times a week for a variety of foods. It has held up great, even going through the dishwasher constantly. As a family of four, it fits our needs capacity wise. If you’re in the market for an air fryer, I would absolutely recommend this one.

You know those kitchen tools and gadgets that take up space and never see the light of day? I’m looking at you NutriBullet. And that panini press and waffle maker too.

We just bought this Ninja air fryer and it’s heavy in the rotation along with our rice cooker and cast iron skillet.

We love how frozen fries and appetizers come out crisp. It’s pretty close to fried. We also love the two zone setting where we can put a protein on one side and veggies on the other side. It’s got a great feature where it starts to cook the longer of the two and then starts the second zone so both sides finish at the same time.

This has definitely bumped the InstaPot from the regular rotation.

We tried a single basket Ninja air fryer first and it worked well but we decided to get a dual 10 quart air fryer so that we could cook two items at a time instead of waiting for each item to cook. This 10 quart dual air fryer is perfect for our needs with numerous cooking options and the ability to set the timer so that both sides cook and finish at the same time. The baskets are easy to clean and the machine is a good size for our kitchen counter. We’ve had it about 4 months now and have experienced no problems whatsoever. We have tried the paper liners to cook with and they don’t interfere with the cooking but do extend the cooking time as they prevent the air flow from the blower from reaching the bottom of the pan. They do save in terms of clean up but I now tend to cook without them for crispier crusts on fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc. great value and I would highly recommend this air fryer.

After researching many different air fryer brands and air fryer sizes, I decided on this one and am SO happy I did. We have been using it for a few months now and it works GREAT. Cooks our food exactly how we want it. We've made the best tasting breaded walleye with the air frying option on this machine. Homemade fries with perfect crispiness. Roasts our veggies to perfection. I can’t speak more highly of this product.

I absolutely love my Ninja Foodi Airfryer and use it multiple times a day. It cooks food exceptionally well and comes with great features that I didn't realize included baking and broiling. I'm very happy with this purchase! It can cook one side at a time or both sides at different temperatures, or you can use it as one big cooking area. It makes dinner prep super fast, almost like a mini oven, and the food always comes out delicious. The settings for cooking separate foods at different times to finish simultaneously are fantastic. It's easy to use, clean, and not super heavy. The only negatives are that it doesn't auto-off when the drawer is open and you can't change cooking settings without turning it off first. Despite these minor issues, it's definitely worth the investment!

The Ninja Air Fryer with its double basket feature has been a complete game-changer in our household. Here’s why I absolutely love it:

Firstly, the double basket design allows me to cook different foods simultaneously at different temperatures. This versatility is incredibly useful for preparing meals efficiently, especially with a family as diverse as ours. Whether it's different snacks or a full meal, having this capability has made cooking much more convenient.

Even when we want to cook items at the same temperature, the double basket still proves its worth by doubling our cooking capacity. This is particularly handy during gatherings or busy weeknights when everyone wants their meal cooked just right.

Another reason I adore the Ninja Air Fryer is its ability to replace our double oven for many tasks. Using the air fryer avoids heating up the house, which is a huge relief, especially in warmer weather. It's a practical solution that saves time and keeps our kitchen cool and comfortable.

I also invested in silicone liners for easy cleanup, and they've been a lifesaver. They prevent food from sticking and make cleaning up a breeze. No more struggling to scrub off stubborn residues—I simply remove the liners and wash them, maintaining the air fryer's pristine condition effortlessly.

Overall, the Ninja Air Fryer has earned a solid 10 out of 10 from me. It combines innovation with practicality, making it an indispensable kitchen appliance in our home. If you're looking for a versatile air fryer that simplifies cooking and cleanup, look no further than the Ninja with its double basket feature. Highly recommended!

This is the second air fryer we have owned. It far exceeds my expectations for a number of reasons.

- the air fryer drawers are well-sized so you can fit a good amount of food in them.
- the drawers are really non-stick and so easy to clean.
- the handles on the drawers make them easy to pull out to shake items (like fries).
- love the side by side drawers that can be times together or separately. Super convenient.
-appliance is a nice size. Not too big. And doesn’t get too hot when cooking.
- easy for teens to use - some are so complicated but this one is super easy.
- we use it about three- four times a week for the past two years and have never had an issue.

The only thing I’d change is that it cleans itself… but I’m pretty sure I won’t find any air fryer that will do that. Overall really pleased with this purchase.

As an avid home cook constantly seeking kitchen innovations, stumbling upon the Ninja Air Fryer felt like discovering a hidden culinary gem. It's not just an appliance; it's a culinary game-changer that has revolutionized the way I approach cooking. Let me share with you my personal review of this remarkable gadget that has found a permanent spot on my countertop.

First and foremost, ease of use is one of the Ninja Air Fryer's most compelling features. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its intuitive design and straightforward controls. Whether I'm air frying, roasting, reheating, or dehydrating, the user-friendly interface makes navigating through cooking functions a breeze. Even for those unfamiliar with air frying, the Ninja Air Fryer's simplicity ensures a seamless cooking experience.

Another aspect that sets the Ninja Air Fryer apart is its versatility. Gone are the days when I needed multiple appliances cluttering my kitchen; this all-in-one wonder handles a multitude of cooking tasks with finesse. From achieving perfectly crispy fries to succulent roasted vegetables and even homemade jerky, the Ninja Air Fryer does it all, and it does it exceptionally well. Its generous capacity allows for cooking batches large enough to feed a hungry family or prepare meals for entertaining guests, making it an indispensable tool for everyday cooking or special occasions.

Moreover, I can't praise enough the health benefits of air frying with the Ninja Air Fryer. With its innovative Rapid Air Technology, it circulates hot air around food to deliver crispy, golden results without the need for excessive oil. This means I can enjoy guilt-free indulgence in my favorite fried foods with significantly less fat and calories. The air fryer has become my go-to for achieving that satisfying crunch without compromising on flavor or texture.

In terms of maintenance, the Ninja Air Fryer earns top marks for its hassle-free cleanup. The non-stick basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe, saving me precious time and effort after each use. Its sleek and compact design also ensures that it doesn't take up much space on my countertop, a major plus for anyone with limited kitchen real estate.

Overall, my experience with the Ninja Air Fryer has been nothing short of delightful. Its ease of use, versatility, health benefits, and convenient cleanup have made it an indispensable tool in my culinary arsenal. Whether you're a seasoned home chef or a kitchen novice, this innovative appliance is sure to elevate your cooking game and bring a newfound joy to your culinary adventures.

Edit: I have had this model for one and a half years. The coating on the interior grills--the removeable pieces--are showing very slight wear and tear. It is still truly no-stick, so it's a non-issue. I heard they are replaceable too. This is still an outstanding purchase and I am happy I have it. I use this between 3-7 days a week too, so lots of time using this.

Original Review:
I was disappointed with Cosori brand, having the coating coming off and the basket not staying in the air fryer etc. And I wanted a larger Air Fryer and this seemed like the only option. I heard Ninja was/is reliable and I wanted to try it. I am very glad I did, even though at first I wasn't an immediate fan.

First, this device is far more accurate than the other air fryers I have owned. Temperature actually is regulated and controlled. The modes for cooking are meaningful choices (there is a difference between Air Fryer, Bake, Roast and other modes). I feel like I have actual options for cooking. I can use broil mode for carrots on one side and the bake option for Pilsbury Dough Crescent Rolls in the other.

Second, the no-stick coating is legit. Cleanup is a breeze. It is leaps and bounds easier than any other air fryer I've used (I've owned two, but used many more). There is currently no wearing off of this coating in any way whatsoever. Other areas of the basket that don't have this coating have a slight wearing of the exterior coat, but it's nowhere near the food and to be expected.

Third, baskets fit nicely into the receptacle and stay in place. This is something I had issues with in other brands and am pleasantly surprised here.

Fourth, you can actually turn the basket upside down to dump the contents without losing the inner cooking "grate" or "grill" thanks to the silicone feet they have. You do have to ensure the feet are properly in place before cooking as over time they move out of position. However, they have stayed in place while dumping almost every time.

There are some slight caveats with this device, but I don't see them as anything warranting a problem or really even a negative. They are mostly considerations.
- You need to have some knowledge of air fryers before using this to the best of its capabilities. It doesn't hold your hand. It won't remind you to shake up a side, or have some presets for cooking that could help someone new to air fryers. Also, because of the way it is designed, it will need you to shake up a side more often than other airfryers that have a basket within a basket design (that makes the airflow guaranteed).
- Cook time is slower when using both sides and needs to be adjusted as such. In my opinion it is better to cook less rather than more if in doubt. Especially with meat that needs to be thoroughly cooked (like chicken thighs as an example).
- The 10 quart size is mostly depth rather than width. This means if you are cooking something like a whole bag of tatertots, you WILL have to supervise it by shaking them often during the cook time.
- The way the airflow is designed means you have to keep the sides of the basket somewhat clear in order to get the true air fryer crispness you are looking for.
- Since air temperature in the baskets are more accurate, this device puts out more heat into the room (it will expel excess hot air to keep the temperature inside accurate)
- Unlike other air fryers, it doesn't stop cooking when you remove a basket to shake. Hot aire blows into the room and you have to manually press stop. This could be a plus for some people, but it's worth noting here.
- Using the option to conclude cooking at the same time could be problematic since you often have to adjust cook times while using an air fryer. I wouldn't consider this a huge feature for buying this device.

Some real bonuses
- In my experience so far, since the baskets are deep rather than wide, the coil at the top of each side is nowhere near as dirty as other airfryers since the oil/juice popping up during cooking doesn't always reach the coils.
- The temperature is fairly accurate inside
- The cleanup is just beyond easy, especially having owned other air fryers that supposedly had non-stick.
- Being able to cook two whole chickens--as an example-- or two of anything as large as whole chickens makes this unit shine over pretty much all current air fryers.
- The outside and inside cleans really easily
- All the buttons are tactile and I haven't had a single issue with the device having issues of any sort or button presses that weren't registering.
