Designed for busy families who want to cook two elements of a meal at once, the Ninja DZ201 Foodi 8 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone is a sleek and easy-to-use air fryer that’s perfect for those who want to upgrade their kitchen this Black Friday.

When we reviewed it as part of our testing for the best air fryers, we used each and every mode to make sure it delivered on those multi-functional promises.
Ninja air fryer Black Friday deal: why we love it
Although it’s larger than most air fryers, we love the Foodi 8 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone because it can cook every element of a meal at once. While many of the best air fryers are perfect for cooking either the main or side for your meal, it’s rare to find one that can do it all. Using Smart Finish, you can pair your independent Ninja air fryer drawers to cook in different modes and with different timings, but finish at exactly the same time. That comes in handy when cooking veggies and fish, or fries and chicken, which typically need different cooking modes and timings. The Match Cook mode effectively doubles your cooking space, which is great for when you want to batch cook a large serving of fries or vegetables, or cook one side for vegetarians and another for meat-eaters. Your settings for the first drawer will duplicate for the second, meaning you won’t have to bother setting two different timers to cook the same ingredients. One of our favorite features is the ease of cleaning with the Ninja DZ201 Foodi 8 Quart 6-in-1 DualZone. Because the removable inserts and the drawers can both go in the dishwasher, it’s simply a case of giving them a wash between uses. You can even use one of the drawers while the other is washing, which is great for frequent air fryer users.

We’ve never tried a Ninja air fryer we didn’t love. Essentially acting as a mini convection oven, an air fryer uses a basket to circulate hot air around your food as it cooks. This effectively mimics the process of deep frying, in which you’d submerge your fries or chicken in hot fat for even, speedy cooking. Air fryers are a lot more convenient though, and they also cut back on the amount of fat you need to make crispy treats at home.
