Is the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone AF300UK / DZ201 worth it?
Yes — the two-drawer air fryer for most homes.
Two drawers with their own settings, and a sync button so the chicken and the chips are ready at the same moment. It also roasts, bakes, reheats and dehydrates, and Max Crisp makes frozen food properly crunchy. It's bulky for its 7.6L, each drawer only fits a portion or two of chips, and you still have to shake the food halfway.

What owners say
Owners love how easy it is and that both drawers finish at the same time. The unhappy few had food burn or cook unevenly, or found each drawer too small for a whole chicken.
Good to know
- It takes a lot of counter for 7.6L, wider than one-drawer air fryers.
- Each 3.8L drawer is narrow: a whole chicken won't fit.
- There's no shake reminder, so set your own timer.
- Saucy dishes are messy in the drawers.

How we reached this verdict
TechRadar praises how easy it makes timing a meal, with two foods programmed to finish at once and six cooking modes, but notes it's bulky, not ideal for saucy food and its drawers could be bigger. Expert Reviews found it easy to use and liked the Max Crisp setting for frozen food, with its size and so-so chips as the drawbacks. TechGearLab's test of the US version (DZ201) liked the two baskets and Smart Finish but saw uneven fries.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
