TL:DR
Pros
-2 3.5qt areas about 6.5” * 8.5” in the grill side and about 2.75” high from the grill
-Dedicated heating coils, fans, and settings for each area.
-Removable middle piece for longer cooking area.
-Many settings to crisp, cook, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate
-Booklet with recommended cooking time and settings for common types of food
Cons
-unpolished edges on the matte “stainless” finish on the shell
-Baskets are very low to the grill side and potentially cause problems if you use liners or cook bulky foods.
Personal Nitpicks
-Slow cooking times, will take time to get used to them but every air fryer is different
-no timer or sound to let you know to flip or shake your food.
-no auto stop/resume when pulling the basket
*-Remember to always use Plastic Tongs to make your air fryer last longer-*
Review:
Alright let me start this review by saying that I mainly have used air fryers to air fry things and reheat. Many of the new and higher end air fryers have many bells and whistles that many would find convenient or appealing but personally I use them for their intended purpose and will review/judge them with that in mind.
Now, let’s talk about the shell. The unit it self is about 11.25”H*18’W and 12”L which takes a good mount of space, so make sure you have the space. The shell is made of matte materials with most of it covered in black plastic and parts of it with a “stainless” steel look. In the front you get a small screen displaying the settings and tactile buttons with a diaphragm on top. Once you open the basket, there will be 2 grills separated by a removable piece in the middle. With the piece in, each side measures about 6.5”W, 8.5”L, and 2.75” H, and once you remove the piece about 13”W, 8.5”L, and 2.75”H. There is one heating coil for each area, but I did notice that there was not much space between the grill and the coil. Personally, the first time I used the air fryer, I used a line and some of it got burned because it touched the coil, but it was a personal error. Anyways, you do get several options to what you want to do with your food in the settings. You can also set up each side to do different things, such as the left is set to dehydrate, and the right is set to air broil. There is also the option to remove the middle piece and control both sides at the same time with Megazone. One can mix and match and play around the settings but now I will move on to the air frying part.
I usually use air fryers to meal prep since it allows me to do several things at the same time. There have been times where I even use several air fryers while I wash rice, or peel my potatoes, or season my meats, so efficiency is something I look in an air fryer. The first batch I prepared for this air fryer was seasoned chicken tenderloins (7 pieces) at 370f with 26 mins. The second batch I prepared was more seasoned chicken tenderloins (about 9 pieces) at 400f with 21 mins. As one would expect, neither cooked with the given time, so an extra 6 mins was added each with the same temperatures. Before I did that, I noticed that there was no halftime to shake or flip your food but good thing I was present and looking. At the end the first batch cooked but tasted like it was boiled and notice there was an extra step to get them crispy with the air broil which I did not know. The second batch I had to add another 5 mins before it cooked. At the end the second batch took almost 40 minutes to cook and the first a little over 30 mins. Personally, I feel I need to get used to it like any other air fryer, but time can become an issue for me. Also, I could never see myself sticking a piece of ham in an air fryer, if that was the case, I would use an oven or a microwave. I just want to air fry things. To finish things off, if you have ever washed the grill/guard of an air fryer expect the same, for those who have never owned an air fryer, you will have a hard time especially if you cook meats. In the box you only get the unit and a little bit of paperwork including the manual and the recommended cook times, nothing else.
My final thoughts
Would I recommend this air fryer? Yes, if you’re looking for space and find value in the extra features. Just keep in mind it is not a put your food in and turn it on situation, there is a learning curve.

Works well. We like the flexibility of cooking separate smaller items in the two compartments or a larger item by removing the divider.

I absolutely love my Ninja Air Fryer! The cooking results are consistently crisp and delicious, making it a healthier alternative to traditional frying. The versatile functions, easy-to-use controls, and rapid cooking time make it a must-have appliance. Cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the non-stick surfaces. It’s compact yet spacious enough for various recipes. If you’re looking for an efficient and user-friendly air fryer, the Ninja is a fantastic choice!

Love this machine. Have multiple kids, having the wider basket, though not as deep, works well for use. Went from doing max 6 corndogs in old fryer to total of 10. Whole bag of nuggets is close to single layer (not having to shake multiple times).

I replaced the dual for my single zone. This is awesome. It makes a little more noise but I love the option to bake, air fry, broil or roast. I have been using this more than my oven, which is better in the summer. I highly recommend. Kudos Ninja!

The divider allows you to cook two different items at the same time. However, I really like that I can cook larger portions by removing the divider. It is compact enough that it doesn’t take up a lot of space in my counter. It is also user friendly.

I bought this air fryer about 7 months ago and have used it several times to cook chicken wings, drumsticks, and thighs. I was happy with the results – the food comes out well-cooked and delicious.
For cleaning, I rinse off the excess grease with hot water in the sink, then put the drawer and parts in the dishwasher. It’s been an easy and convenient experience overall.

Love Ninja products. I chose this particular one for the dual zone usage and I loved that you could use the divider to cook larger items. Price was more economical than the other Ninja options.

I love my new kitchen appliance. This is perfect. It’s like a mini oven. I appreciate the different features especially the fact that I can dehydrate. Many air fryers do not have that. We had one a long time ago before the rave but it didn’t cook thoroughly. With all the new advancements I’d say this one is top notch. It’s the perfect size for my household and we literally have been using this over our oven since we had it. Well worth the price.
