The Ninja DualZone XL Air Fryer is designed for busy households and meal preppers who need to cook multiple items simultaneously or large quantities of food. Its key benefit is the ability to cook two different foods in two separate zones, finishing at the same time, offering unparalleled meal-building flexibility. A potential caveat is its larger footprint, requiring adequate counter space. This appliance features a generous 9.5L total capacity split across two 4.75L baskets, six cooking functions (Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, Dehydrate), and precise temperature control from 40°C to 240°C, all managed through an intuitive button control panel.

FAQs
Can I cook two different items at different temperatures and times?
Yes, the DualZone Technology allows you to set different temperatures and cooking times for each basket independently. You can also use the 'Smart Finish' feature to ensure both baskets finish cooking at the same time.
How do I clean the air fryer baskets?

The total capacity is 9.5 litres, split into two 4.75-litre cooking baskets.
Can I use oil in the air fryer?
