"No paint coming off with 3 years of pretty much daily/multiple use"
"My Ninja dual basket is probably 4 years old now and absolutely still rips. ... I love it."
"I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. ... It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though."

"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"
"I love mine. It's great to be able to cook two different things and have them ready at the same time. I was using a single basket one and found cooking multiple batches of something was so annoying."
"I find it extremely easy to clean"

"a "smart finish" setting so they finish together"
"Two independent baskets mean you can cook different foods at different temps at the same time (no more waiting for round two of fries!)"

"Even without adding oil, food is crispier than in an oven. ... Like - frozen oven chips are always soggy. In the air fryer - crispy French fries."
"probably use it for 80% of our meals ... it is great"
"think of it as a mini oven more than anything. I've cooked gammon joints, whole chickens, steak, pork chops, all the veg."

"The fan on mine got clogged with grease after a month or two, and it is essentially impossible to clean."
"until it stopped working"
"I can't imagine how difficult it must be to cook when the time and temp settings change depending on if you're using one or both baskets!"

"My biggest complaint is that it takes forever when using both zones. ... It brags that you don’t have to batch cook, but at least with batch cooking I’d have something hot on the table while the second half cooks."
"Whenever you cook with both baskets it just doesn't have enough power for that so it cooks way worse ... so you end up just always using only 1 basket."
"When I first got it I was excited to throw like frozen fries in one side and nuggets in the other, but then when I used my Normal settings neither was even close to done. I don’t use both at the same time ever anymore. ... Tried later adding time and found it really cumbersome to get right. It just doesn’t get nearly as hot when splitting between both baskets ... If you tell it to have 375 in one side and 350 in the other they’ll actually be about 335 and 310. It can’t output enough heat. ... Maybe mine is defective (and was out of the box) but it absolutely does not reach the desired temperature if I use both."

"not worth it for the sheer size of the Foodi. It's a beast and very heavy. ... Yeah this is the same reason I don't really use my Foodi."
"that thing is so bulky and sits in the cabinet below the counter, I want to keep keep one on the counter…."
"takes a bit os space though"
I love the Ninja flexdrawer AF500 it’s a big piece of kit but it’s amazing
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer ->Yes, that looks close to mine and the knobs say it does the same thing as mine. Good luck in your search and I hope I helped a little bit.
r/airfryer • First time air fryer ->I love mine. It's great to be able to cook two different things and have them ready at the same time. I was using a single basket one and found cooking multiple batches of something was so annoying.
r/CostcoCanada • Anyone own this Costco Ninja Airfryer ->I love it! It works great and I use parchment baking paper when I don’t want to clean it. It’s an additional expense but you can get this paper cheap at Dollarama. You can also reuse the paper if it’s not too oily.
r/CostcoCanada • Anyone own this Costco Ninja Airfryer ->I never used the actifry but I used ninjas similar to the ones in the top right corner. I preferred the top one with the “Mega Zone”. It’s nice having the option to have one large air fryer basket. I haven’t used the single mega zone feature yet but I plan to cook maybe 3 large chicken breast in it at a time
r/airfryer • Anyone changed up from Actifry Genius XL 2 in 1? How was it? Is/was it worth it? ->I read the rest of your post. If you want to do a full chicken then I would pick the one in the top right corner. They make different sizes so get the one with the largest capacity and I’ve found they make different quality models. I’m not sure the best ones name or number but it has much better heat coils and the drawer is a solid piece not screwed together
r/airfryer • Anyone changed up from Actifry Genius XL 2 in 1? How was it? Is/was it worth it? ->The flex drawer is nice you can put a baking pan in it
r/airfryer • Hidden Cons? Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L (not Max), XXXL FlexDrawer 10.4L, DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L ->Love it / easy to clean
r/CostcoCanada • Anyone own this Costco Ninja Airfryer ->I returned mine. When using both burners it cooks more like a basic oven where things don't get crispy. Apparently this is an issue with all dual air I got a gourmia one at it's way better, is a single burner though so not as big
r/CostcoCanada • Anyone own this Costco Ninja Airfryer ->It's a monster, we love it. A teaspoon of oil added and fries, wings , fish all comes out like food pub food
r/CostcoCanada • Anyone own this Costco Ninja Airfryer ->We were recommended the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer and couldn't be happier. One or two small compartments or open it up for a single large one. We cook everything from a handful of nuggets and wedges to a two-kilo chicken.
r/airfryer • HELP- what is the best air fryer for a family of 4? ->I got the ninja megazone 11 quart , has a divider do can cook 2 different foods and programs to have both cooked at the same end time. Easy to clean no complaints. Was on sale at cosco
r/airfryer • Im sure this gets asked about a lot but theres so many mixed reviews across the board. What is the best AF out right now that doesnt have a list if problems? Please dont roast me too hard for asking. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
