Overview
The Ninja DZ201 Foodi is an 8 quart dual basket air fryer with two independently controlled zones, sold here as an Amazon Renewed unit that has been inspected and tested by an Amazon-qualified supplier before resale.
Its dual zone design is the main differentiator from single basket air fryers, letting two foods cook on different times or temperatures and finish together using the Smart Finish feature, or copy one basket's settings to the other with Match Cook. Buying it Renewed trades a lower price for the condition variability that comes with a returned or refurbished unit, which one reviewer linked to smaller than expected basket depth on their unit.
- 8 quart total capacity across 2 baskets
- Smart Finish syncs two different cook programs to end together
- Match Cook copies settings from one zone to the other
- 6 programs including air fry, roast, bake and dehydrate
Who it's for
This suits households that regularly cook two different foods at once, such as a main and a side, and want the savings of a Renewed unit over new. It may not suit anyone who wants guaranteed like new baskets, since Renewed units are previously returned or refurbished stock.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently praise how quickly it heats up and how easily the baskets clean with just soap and hot water, and several like being able to run two different foods at once. One reviewer found cook times ran a bit longer than their previous air fryer and noted the basket dimensions were smaller than expected, which they linked to buying a discounted returned unit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dual zones cook two foods at once, differently
- Cleanup is fast with just soap and water
- Renewed pricing undercuts buying new
Performance notes
The Smart Finish feature times two baskets running different programs to complete together, while Match Cook copies one zone's settings to the other for doubling a single recipe across the full 8 quart capacity. Owners describe quick heat up and easy cleanup as consistent strengths, though one noted their basket dimensions ran smaller than expected, which they attributed to buying a returned unit at a deep discount.
