Instant Vortex Plus VersaZone vs Ninja Foodi DualZone XL
Get the Instant VersaZone if you roast whole chickens. Unless you always cook two things at once — then the Ninja DualZone XL's two separate drawers.
Instant Vortex Plus VersaZone
One big 8.5L drawer that splits in two, so it does a roast or a main and a side.

Both cook two foods at different settings that finish together. The VersaZone's divider comes out, so it also takes a whole chicken or joint; the DualZone's two drawers are fixed, each too narrow for a whole chicken, but they're easier to wash one at a time.
- —You roast whole chickens or joints.
- —You want one big drawer sometimes.
- —You always cook a main and a side.
- —You want easier washing.
