The Ninja DZ201 Foodi is basically like two air fryers in one thanks to its dual baskets. Together, they hold up to 8 quarts of food. Each basket fries or cooks independently, so you can have two different types of food going simultaneously. For example, some chicken nuggets in one basket and fries in the other. Plus, it combines up to six different cooking modes for the ultimate versatility. Roast, broil, dehydrate, bake, reheat, and air fry all from this one unit. It doesn’t take up as much counter space as you’d expect either.

Why am I telling you all about this air fryer rather excitedly? It’s on sale right now at Amazon for $50 off. Normally $200, you can grab it for $160. Trust me when I tell you it’s an excellent air fryer and a fast, capable cooker for families. The dual basket system means you can prepare a bunch of food at once. An air fryer is a much healthier way to cook foods while still giving them a nice, satisfying crisp. You don’t deep fry anything in oil and fewer oils are introduced overall. Even better, with Ninja’s smart finish and match cook functionality, you can make sure both foods you’re cooking finish at the same time. Pretty neat, right?

Why would you want the Ninja DZ201 Foodi dual-basket air fryer?

I’m of the belief that everyone should own an air fryer. They’re a fantastic way to prep and cook food and keep it all deliciously crispy, without the fatty oils. But this particular air fryer from Ninja has a large capacity, while still managing to be pretty compact. You and your family get plenty of space to cook food and snacks. There are plenty of cooking modes to choose from. And both baskets will cook independently for separate meal preps. But if you want to, you can make sure both foods cooking finish together for the perfect dinner timing.

I know I’ve already mentioned it, but my family has had one of these for a while and we love it. It’s fantastic to cook chicken nuggets, wings, pizza rolls, bagel bites, and all kinds of other indulgent snacks. You can also use it to reheat meals, including meats, which is tough to do in the microwave without making them taste funny. With this Ninja, we’ve successfully reheated smoked chicken, smoked brisket, burgers, hot dogs, you name it. No one in the family complained either, even my littlest and pickiest child. That’s a win-win in my book. We’ve had other air fryers in the past and they just don’t compare. Don’t take my word for it, though. Try it out for yourself.
