"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"Nekem a nagy sütőt teljesen kiváltotta. ... Nincs szükség előmelegítésre és kevesebb áramot fogyaszt mint egy rendes sütő."
"Sütiket is simán lehet benne sütni, sőt én ételt is szoktam melegíteni benne, tojást pedig csak ebben főzök! 130 fok 8 perc és tökéletes a főtt tojás."
"We basically stopped using the oven."

"I have not used my “basket” style air fryer or my full sized oven since we bought this. Well, aside from Thanksgiving to cook the turkey."
"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."
"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"The dual baskets let me cook two things at once (like chicken wings in one and fries in the other) with different settings, and they finish at the same time thanks to the “Smart Finish” tech."
"You don’t have to figure out timing with this one you can set one side for the temperature and the time and set the other side for a different temperature and time. Then you hit the start button and the oven pauses cooking for the one with a shorter cook time so they both finish at the same time. ... This is an awesome upgrade from the last one I had when I had to try to figure out the timing. ... But you don’t have to do anything except set your oven. Set one side 350 for 60 minutes. Set the other side 375 for 40 minutes. Hit the button that says smart match. Then hit the button that says start One side of the oven is paused for 20 minutes, which makes them finish at the correct temperature and time. In other words, one of them cooks for 60 minutes at 350 and the other one cooks at 40 minutes for 375. ... It doesn’t take just as long if one takes 10 minutes at 350 and the other one takes 5 minutes at 350. You hit start and one side doesn’t start until five minutes later than the other one. If you have one that is 350 for 10 minutes and the other one is 375 for five minutes. One starts cooking at 350 for five minutes and then the other one starts cooking at 375. Both of them end up being finished at the same time. ... Mine is 1690 W in the US. This is mine and you can program two different products and two different drawers with two different cook times and temps to finish at the same time. ... This oven does it automatically. You set one side for time and temperature and the other side for another time and temperature and you hit the start button. The one with the lower cook time is paused and starts automatically to make them finish cooking at the same time. ... it has one drawer with two sections that you can cook two different foods at different times and they come out finished at the same time."

"I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck."

"honestly I hate it. ... Each basket is too small. ... No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area."
"I have the kind that has two smaller baskets and I'm so unimpressed with it. ... I very much regret not getting the toaster oven kind. I opted for this stupid dual basket kind. This thing is almost useless. ... I have the ninja dual basket air fryer and I'm so not impressed with it. ... What kind of air fryer do you have? Mine is a dual basket and I find it's literally the opposite of what you said lol ... I wonder if this has more to do with the model that people get. Mine is a dual basket. I regret not getting the toaster oven kind. ... I'm extremely unimpressed with the one I chose, a dual basket air fryer. So many feelings about it haha. ... Don't get a dual one with two small baskets."
"Baskets are small ... the quantity for those two things is small"

"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."
"as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. ... Basically double the cooking time. ... when switching to two it takes absolutely ages."
"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."

"Box says it's dishwasher safe. I put it in the dishwasher twice and it started to rust."

bullethole 1.0If you're absolutely going with it in your budget then [Ninja Foodie Dual Zone](https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-DZ401-Independent-Dehydrate-Family-Sized/dp/B096X9LGJ1) is an absolute beast. You can have two different baskets at different temperatures simultaneously. Really makes a difference.
Fafnr 1.0I have this one, and I'm really happy with it: https://ninjakitchen.dk/produkt/ninja-foodi-max-dual-zone-airfryer-med-smart-cook-system-af451eu-zidAF451EU?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Ninja%20%7C%20PMax%20%7C%20Air%20fryers%20cross-network&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22010945990&gclid=CjwKCAjwtrXFBhBiEiwAEKen1_g1j14JMmlOVduKzzo9ENi4oOELUiOo5mmurFG9oNbd-8YuPuMYjxoCPBgQAvD_BwE I really like the integrated temp probe, where you just probe the meat and give it a target temp and off it goes. Don't get me wrong - you're not going to be making roast for 10 people in it, but a small piece of pork or beef works really well, and saves a lot of guess or an external probe.
latenightwithjb 1.0Ninja 10quart. It’s big but you can cook a serious amount of vegis. It goes on sale once a year and is $130 normally $250 https://a.co/d/5yFHNR5 I’ve got this and a little Insta 4qt so I’m able to cook a whole meal for 2 all at once. Recommend. I too started small but once I realized the benefits I rearranged to make room for it and now I eat veggies all the time
lucewa 1.0I got the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer last year and honestly it's a game changer, I use it almost every day for all sorts of things. Anything that is supposed to go crispy in the oven is so much nicer in the air fryer, and it's great for cooking meat, fish and veggies as well. Super simple, quick and easy to use.
staticattacks 1.0Yes, American, with the DZ550 10-qt model. It runs 1690W not 2300W. I can't tell the exact model of the one OP pictured but it could be the smaller model.
toby1jabroni 1.0I have a ninja dual zone max, and I use it pretty much every day. I don’t always need the second drawer but it can come in handy when I need it. Space might be a necessary consideration, it is pretty big. I don’t put mine away as it’s in constant use.
Antmax 0.7Got a clamshell ninja foodi Max something or other and it cooks chicken including breaded chicken perfectly. If you want a tip, it's worth getting a small grill thing that stands off from the floor so the whole thing gets heat evenly. When it comes to meat, I can usually toss anything in and it's done within 14 - 16 minutes. Doesn't matter what it is. Chicken is typically lightly browned on the outside and perfect inside. Not chewy, greasy, dry. Don't use any extra oil, there is enough in the meat already. Same with potato fries, they come out nice on their own. Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. If I'm having rice, I use that for veggies too. I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022. If you have more than 2 -3 people it might not be big enough. I don't like the pull out drawer ones. https://preview.redd.it/90u3bmpq9wye1.jpeg?width=3600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2983c5b6b0d4daf757196223e3e8c673f54b4073
Wolfram414 0.5Are you by any chance american? This airfryer uses 2300W when using both drawers. Most american plugs cant do that, so americans have this problem of longer time when using both baskets, but dont blame the airfryer
I might have been too fast, my model is the one slighly biggest than this. But mine uses 2470w according to the website.
Zippy_0 0.5Not quite the same, but I have switched from a Ninja AG651 to an AF451. One downside is definitely that I can't fit a large casserolle in ther anymore, but that's the only downside as well. The drawer-style is way quieter. Allows me to make crispy stuff alongside veggies which before just didn't crisp up properly. It does not require preheating. I have less space width-wise, but way more space to the top which makes bigger pieces of meat possible (for example one whole chicken, which before only worked spatchcocked). If I only have use one drawer the power-consumption is obviously less. Cleaning is way easier. Also the thermal probe is way better than my previous one.
EnvieAndFleur 0.4We have the ninja 10 qt dual one from Costco. We have had air fryers in the past we never ended up using because of ease of use issues or cleaning was a pain. This one gets used multiple times a day every single day. It’s SO easy to clean and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time.
