Ninja’s DualZone air fryer is on sale . This is the lowest price we’ve seen all year for the kitchen mainstay. The sale is $50 off the sticker price, which is a 25 percent discount.
We chose Ninja DualZone as one of them and the main reason is the name itself. Dual cooking zones are incredibly convenient and allow home cooks to cook two different meals at the same time. Each chamber has independent temperature, cooking modes, etc. Of course, zones can be chained together to make a whole batch of something like fries or nuggets.
That’s how quickly this oven heats up, with little or no preheating time required. It’s also fairly quiet in use, which isn’t always the case with deep fryers. Some of them are absolutely cacophonous. Another neat little feature is that the oven automatically adjusts the cooking time so that both ingredients in each chamber are done at the same time.
On the downside? It’s a beast of a kitchen gadget that takes up a lot of counter space. This may not be the best fit for studio apartments and the like. The sale only applies to the 8-quart model, not even the more powerful 10-quart version. This is good for saving counter space, but bad for those who want to cook multiple things at once.
