Best overall

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone AF400

9.2Our number one pick.

The AF400 popularised the dual-basket air fryer for good reason: two independent drawers let you cook two foods different ways and finish them together, and the results are reliably crisp. It is bulky on a worktop, but for most households it is the one to get.

Cooking: 9.2Capacity: 9.0Ease of use: 9.2Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Two zones with Sync finish
  • Reliably crisp results
  • Easy to clean
Cons
  • Takes up worktop space
  • No window to watch food

Best for families

Ninja Double Stack XL

9.0A superb runner-up.

Ninja's clever stacked design keeps dual-zone cooking and a big 9.5L capacity but takes up far less worktop than side-by-side drawers. It is tall, so check your cupboard clearance, but for families short on space it is brilliant.

Cooking: 9.0Capacity: 9.2Ease of use: 8.8Value: 8.8
Pros
  • Big capacity, small footprint
  • Dual-zone cooking
  • Six cooking levels
Cons
  • Tall — mind the height
  • Individual drawers are smaller
Check price on Amazon≈ £230

Best single-zone

Ninja Foodi MAX AF160

8.7Rounds out our top three.

If you do not need two drawers, the single-basket Foodi MAX is roomy, simple and cooks superbly, with a generous 5.2L that suits couples and small families. It lacks dual-zone flexibility but costs less and takes up less room.

Cooking: 9.0Capacity: 8.6Ease of use: 9.0Value: 8.8
Pros
  • Roomy single basket
  • Excellent crisping
  • Simple to use
Cons
  • No dual-zone flexibility
  • Bulky for one basket

Cosori Dual Blaze

8.6A standout in the upper half.

The Dual Blaze pairs even, two-element heating with a well-designed app full of recipes and a basket you can shake without removing. It is a single large basket rather than dual-zone, but the cooking quality and smarts are excellent.

Cooking: 8.8Capacity: 8.6Ease of use: 8.8Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Even dual-element heating
  • Good app and recipes
  • Easy-clean basket
Cons

Tefal Easy Fry Dual

8.6A well-rounded mid-table pick.

Tefal's dual-basket fryer undercuts the big Ninja models while offering the same cook-two-things-at-once convenience and a roomy 8.3L total. Build and app are more basic, but as affordable dual-zone cooking it is great value.

Cooking: 8.4Capacity: 8.8Ease of use: 8.6Value: 9.2
Pros
  • Affordable dual-zone
  • Roomy 8.3L total
  • Simple controls
Cons

Best multi-cooker

Ninja Speedi

8.5Great value in the middle of the pack.

The Speedi doubles as an air fryer and a rapid one-pot meal maker, steaming and crisping a whole meal in one go. It is more versatile than a plain fryer, though the single 5.7L pot suits one to three people.

Cooking: 8.6Capacity: 8.2Ease of use: 8.6Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Air fry and one-pot meals
  • Fast complete meals

8.5A dependable pick if the price is right.

Philips' reliable 3000-series XL offers fuss-free, even air frying in a roomy single basket, with the brand's strong build and easy-clean parts. It is not the cheapest single fryer, but it is dependable and cooks very well.

Cooking: 8.6Capacity: 8.6Ease of use: 8.6Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Even, reliable cooking
  • Roomy basket
  • Easy to clean
Cons
  • Pricier than budget rivals

Best mid-range dual

Salter Dual Cook Pro

8.2A budget-friendly option worth a look.

Salter's Dual Cook Pro brings two-drawer cooking and a big 8.2L capacity at a wallet-friendly price, making dual-zone accessible. It is less refined than premium rivals, but it does the job well for the money.
