Which one to pick
Take the Ninja DZ201 Foodi 2-Basket Air Fryer
Leads on Performance, Durability and Quietness.
- Cooking a main and a side that need different settings and want to land together
- Feeding three or four people without running the machine twice
- You cook often enough that a second zone earns its counter space
Take the NutriBullet Pro 900
Leads on Value.
- One smoothie at a time, drunk from the cup it was made in
- A dorm room, an office, or a counter with no room for a jar
- Frozen fruit and greens, which is the job the extractor blade is shaped for
Ease of use scores identically, so that axis can't break the tie.
What each one gets wrong
Ninja DZ201 Foodi 2-Basket Air Fryer
- Fan noise matters at all — this is the loudest machine in the group
- You want to roast one large item, which two four-quart baskets cannot take
- Counter runs are short, because it is wide rather than tall
NutriBullet Pro 900
- Hot liquids — the manual rules them out and a sealed cup has nowhere to vent
- Anything that runs past a minute; the motor is duty-cycled and will cut out
- Cooking for more than one person, unless you enjoy blending in shifts
