Ninja DZ401 Foodi 10 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone XL 2-Basket Air Fryer with 2 Independent Frying Baskets, Match Cook & Smart Finish to Roast, Broil, Dehydrate & More for Quick, Easy Family-Sized Meals, Grey

Came from a Cosori and other models. 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.

My best purchase EVER. Nina DZ401: I spent way too much time in my kitchen getting my meals prepared for my diet. I’ve had and used an air fryer for a long time. Problem was only could fry a small amount at a time and I spent a long time preparing and air frying my meals. I have only had this a week and I’ve already air fried apple chips, zucchini chips, pork loin-pictured(I purposely browned the top to get the crunchy it’s not over cooked), frozen diced precooked chicken. I can’t wait to bake and dehydrate fruits. I no longer am in a hot kitchen this summer. It has 2 baskets you can cook at 2 different temperatures and times. I can cook my granddaughter her fries on one side at the same time I’m doing my zucchini chips. I’ve only left a very few reviews even if I liked the product I purchased, but everybody needs to know how simple this is to use. By the way, I’m 73 years old so if I can do it so can you. Sincerely my best purchase ever.

Easy cooking. Cook large and small amounts.Multiple items at same time,with different temperatures and times but finish at Same time
