Q: What are the dimensions of the unit?
submitted by Phoenix - 1 year ago
A: These dimensions do not match what is listed for the product itself. We thought it was 12” wide and it’s 15

Q: Can someone who actually owns one tell me if it emits a plastic or burnt smell? I've own 2 both name brands and they both smelled really strong and one actually stopped working after a week/2 uses
submitted by Jan - 1 year ago
A: May sound odd, but check if you are using cooking spray. I found if you use a soybean based cooking spray it emits an odd smell. Took me a long time to figure it out. Canola oil based spray is ok.
submitted byMary - 11 months agoA: No. No Odor except the smell of the food
submitted byDrea - 11 days agoA: There shouldn't be any plastic or burnt smells from this unit.

Q: Should a heat resistant mat be used under this on counter tops?
submitted by Me - 10 months ago
A: I always place a wooden cutting board underneath mine when it’s in use…just to make sure the counter doesn’t get any marks.
submitted byNell - 8 months agoA: We confirm that it is not necessary to put anything under this appliance.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 9 months agoBrand expert
Q: I purchased this item because it stated a wide temperature range up to 450°F. However, I cannot set the temperature. How can I use it?
submitted by Lamp - 10 months ago
A: Unlike other machines, you have to select which type of cooking you want first (air fry, bake, roast, reheat, or dehydrate). Then you can adjust the temperature, and set the time. Mine only goes up to 400. Hope this helps. If not you may have a defective machine.
submitted byBex - 9 months agoA: The Dualzone lets you adjust the temperature manually using the TEMP ▲/▼ buttons after selecting a cooking function.

Q: how big a chicken will fit in 4 qt basket of dual air fryer
submitted by jp - 3 years ago
A: The Ninja Foodi 8qt Original Dualzone 2 Basket Air Fryer isn't designed to cook a whole chicken.
submitted byNinja Community Support - 3 years agoBrand expertA: try a Cornish hen, that should fit
submitted byK - 3 years ago
Q: Doe’s this have a function to cook rice/beans?
submitted by Dan333 - 4 years ago
A: This system does not have a rice or bean function. You can use the bake function in order to cook these items.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 4 years agoBrand expertA: No. Both of these require substantial amounts of water. Buy an instapot or another brand of pressure cooker for rice & beans.
submitted byEspiritus - 4 years ago
Q: I am wondering how to know which function to use? For example, whether cooking chicken or veggies - Will it always be air fry? When do I use bake, roast?
submitted by Annie - 5 years ago
A: It has a button for each of those..
submitted byMelissa123 - 5 years agoA: The function used will depend on how you would like the ingredients cooked. If you are looking to bake chicken you would use the bake function. If you wish to air fry your chicken you would use the air fry function.
submitted byNinja Community Support - 5 years agoBrand expert
Q: Do I need to preheat my air fryer?
submitted by Anderson - 5 days ago
A: Preheating is not required, but it can help achieve crispier results, especially for foods like fries or chicken. If desired, you can run the unit for a few minutes before adding food.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 5 days agoBrand expert
Q: Could you use a silicone mat on the bottom of the food to make sure it won't stick
submitted by Dee - 7 days ago
A: Hi Dee. While we do not officially recommend the use of silicone mats or liners in the DualZone Air Fryer, you can safely use aluminum foil in the baskets. When using foil, ensure it does not block the air vents or restrict airflow, as proper circulation is essential for even cooking. If you choose to use silicone liners, please note that they are not tested or endorsed by Ninja.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 5 days agoBrand expert
Q: Does oil or spray need to be added? Or is that optional and up to one’s likes.
submitted by Lely - 2 months ago
A: For best results with fresh vegetables and potatoes, we recommend using at least 1 tablespoon of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve the preferred level of crispiness.

I really enjoy using this airfryer. The food cooks quick and even without issues. I can have different type of meals in less than 30 minutes. It is easy to clean, however, after a while and after good many uses, it gets food marks inside the basket and the food start to stick on to the grill. I have it for over 2 years and I believe I might have to buy new baskets and grills or change for a new one. Other than that, it is worth it.
Great product

I’ve been using the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 2-Basket Air Fryer for a while now, and it has truly changed the way I cook. Performance: The air fryer heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and delivers crispy results without needing much oil. The DualZone™ feature is amazing—it lets me cook two different foods at the same time with different times and temperatures, and everything finishes together. Cleaning: The baskets and crisper plates are nonstick and super easy to wash. I usually just rinse them with warm water and a sponge, and they look new again. Capacity: The 8-quart size is perfect for a family. I can cook a full meal for my kids and still have room left. Great for weeknight dinners when I need to cook fast. Versatility: I’ve used it for air frying, roasting, baking, and even reheating leftovers. It makes fries crispy, chicken juicy, and reheated pizza tastes freshly baked. Safety: The unit feels sturdy and safe to use. The baskets slide in and out smoothly, the outside stays fairly cool, and I feel comfortable letting my older kids help with it under supervision.
I love how it cook food right and the dual baskets

The Ninja appliance malfunctioned shortly after its warranty expiration, with the fan experiencing a failure on one side. While I appreciated the dual compartments, I am hesitant to purchase another Ninja appliance due to this experience. Despite using the appliance approximately once or twice per month and only hand washing it, it still malfunctioned.
