Review on Ninja DZ090 Foodi 6 Quart 5-In-1 DualZone Air Fryer: Roast, Bake, Dehydrate & More For Quick Snacks & Small Meals - 2 Independent Frying Baskets With Match Cook & Smart Finish Technology - Black by Bernard Larjin

The Ninja Foodi XL 2-Basket Air Fryer is a terrific step up in Air Fryer design. Not only are the cooking features unique, the simple intuitive control panel is really easy to understand and use. Some reviewers reported an increase in cook time using the SMART FINISH or MATCH COOK modes. This is true, but the extra time is less time and fuss than trying to air fry two separate items in a single air fryer and the bonus is having both items finish at the same time in the Ninja 2-Basket. Other reviewers complained of the chemical smell and taste. Following the owners guide, I washed both baskets and crisper plates with hot soapy water and let them dry overnight. On the following day, I used the Ninja for the first time to prepare dinner. I did not notice any smell at all, however my wife said there was a trace of a new appliance smell in the kitchen. The second time it was used, neither one of us noticed any smell and the taste of the cooked food was not affected either time. I love the unit for it ease in preparing the major portion of the meal, backed up with a third item prepared in the microwave or toaster oven. Because of the nonstick surface on the basket and the crisper plate, the cleanup is a snap. There is no need to even consider the dishwasher, I simply fill the baskets with hot soapy water, add the crisper plates and let them soak for a while. A quick and light scrub with a non scratch sponge pad, rinse and set aside to dry, does the trick.The unit may seem pricy, but compare it to two top brand air fryers and it is actually a bargain with additional features.
