Two baskets for the nights you cook twice
- Two 10-quart zones mean sides and a main can cook together instead of in sequence.
- The smart thermometer handles doneness for meat and fish without you hovering.
This is a countertop cooker for households that regularly make two different things for one meal. Instead of running a single basket, then waiting and running it again, you have two independent 10-quart zones.
The included smart thermometer is the feature we'd consider the real argument for this model. It takes the guesswork out of doneness for proteins, which is where most air fryer dinners go wrong.
Six programs cover air frying, broiling, roasting, baking, reheating and dehydrating. Smart Finish is for two foods cooked two ways that need to land at the same time, while Match Cook copies one setting across both zones when you want the full capacity.
What $199.99 means against recent pricing
At $199.99, this sits $37.25 below the typical price of $237.24 over the last 90 days, a saving of about 16 percent. That makes it a reasonable moment to buy if this specific two-zone design is what you want.
At $199.99, this air fryer runs below the typical price over the last 90 days, so the current figure is worth acting on if a two-basket cooker fits your routine. Whether the 10-quart footprint earns its counter space depends on how often you cook two different foods at once.

Counter space and cleanup
A 10-quart dual-zone unit is a large appliance. Measure your counter before committing, and check the clearance above it if you keep cabinets low. You need room for the lid to clear and for hot air to escape.
The non-stick cooking surface is free of PFAS, and the crisper plates go in the dishwasher. The outer housing still needs wiping down by hand. Check what your kitchen's circuit can handle if you plan to run this alongside other high-draw appliances at the same time.
When a smaller single basket wins
Skip this if you usually cook for one or two and rarely make two separate components at once. A single-basket air fryer costs less, takes up less room and covers the same basic job.
Also pass if you want a set-and-leave appliance. The dual-zone controls and the thermometer reward a little attention, and that attention is the point of paying for this model.
