The Best Dual Air Fryer 2024
Why buy a dual air fryer?
In the ever-evolving world of kitchen gadgets, the air fryer has taken centre stage. But for those who crave even more versatility, there's a new breed on the block: the dual air fryer. Known interchangeably as dual drawer, dual zone, or simply double air fryers; these innovative appliances offer double the cooking capability and capacity.
Whether you're a family chef feeding a crowd, a meal prepping pro, or someone who just hates waiting for batches to cook, a dual air fryer could be your new culinary hero. So buckle up as we unveil our top picks for the best dual air fryers of 2024, designed to streamline your kitchen workflow and satisfy all your air-frying desires!
How have we made our selection?
There are so many great options to choose from, each with individual features and benefits and a range of price points to cater to every household. Instead of nominating just one individual winner, we have instead decided to highlight a winner in each specific category.
Many people ask themselves about which is the best airfryer? This question ignores the incredibly wide range of options available and instead the question should be; What is the best air fryer for me?
What to consider when buying an air fryer?
- How many portions of food do you typically cook? Some will be more suited for individuals, some for couples or flat shares and others for medium to large family households.
- How do you like to cook? Do you like to "set and forget" or do you like to experiment and discover something new? Smart programmes and automations will help to take the difficulty out of cooking ensuring excellent results. Similarly, having an air fryer with viewing windows can help to ensure creative dishes are cooked to perfection without needing to keep opening up the fryer baskets.
- Are you looking for a budget friendly option or are you wanting to maximise style and technology?
- Are multiple people in your household going to be using it for different kinds of meals? Would having a removable divider be useful to segment the air frying basket?
- Will it fit in with your kitchen? If its going to live on your counter top then it needs visually work with the rest of your kitchen.
Without further ado, lets take a look at our top pics for the
best dual or double air fryers 2024
The Winners
Although we're nominating a particular air fryer as being the winner in a certain category, this doesn't mean that it's exclusively suitable for only that kind of household or kitchen. Each kitchen and household is different and we believe that its your kitchen, your rules! So don't let our categories dictate your purchase decision too much - consider it just a friendly guide to the ever changing world of double drawer air fryers.
Best Dual Air Fryer for couples or 2 person households
Air fryers are very popular with families, but this doesn't mean that the cooking demands of smaller households cant take advantage of everything they have to offer. For this pick, we considered whether or not the dual basket air fryer was going to be used for larger portions or to offer two different cooked foods in smaller quantities instead. To this end, we looked at two drawer air fryers which had asymmetrical capacities - that is, one basket or drawer is smaller than the other.
2024 winner for different sized dual air fryer
Dual Sector Air Fryer – 9L Capacity, 5.5L & 3.5L Drawer, 2500W
This twin air fryer has both a 5.5 Litre and 3.5 Litre dual zone feature. This makes it ideal for cooking your mains and sides at the same time. It features the usual intelligent sync & match features to make preparing two different things at the same time an absolute breeze. It has a 9 Litre total capacity and an excellent 2500W of power.
Best Dual Air fryer for flexible cooking options
The benefits of a dual air fryer are numerous, having dual baskets can help to add another level of convenience and functionality. Sometimes however, having two smaller drawers instead of one big one means cooking very large portions of the same food is made slightly less convenient - as you have to fill both cooking baskets with the same items. Combine this with the space that the basket walls take up and it may give you cause to stop and consider whether you stand to benefit from the advantages that double drawer air frying has to offer.
Fortunately, there are options available which can offer you the absolute best of both worlds.

Thanks to its innovative removable divider you can either have a split two basket option with both sides having 4L of cooking capacity or you can remove the divider and have one extra large XL 8 Litre capacity drawer.
It has non-stick cooking trays and is ideal for households that perhaps have older kids who might like to cook batches of snack foods for their friends, and on other days it' can cook for the whole family.
Onto our next pick
Best looking Dual zone air fryer 2024
How an airfryer looks might not be your first consideration when shopping for a new one, but we've all been in that situation when we add something new to our kitchen worktop and no matter how much it adds in terms of capability, it just doesn't look great being on show all the time. We understand just how much effort goes into decorating and designing a kitchen and how much of a shame it is when something ruins the aesthetic.
For this category we wanted to find a very capable air fryer which had a more modern and sleek design.
and the winner is....

Best dual air fryer with viewing windows
Here's something you don't see very often with air fryers, and yet it's a really useful feature. Perhaps you're the kind of person who love to be creative in the kitchen and experiment with new ideas. You might find that because of this, you're not able to rely as much on preset cooking times or programmes and as such you're finding yourself constantly having to pause the cooking process to open the basket or drawer for a quick peek inside.
Instead of constantly having to open the air fryer (and potentially losing heat and moisture in the process), what if there as a way to see inside the dual air fryer baskets at all times? Well unless you have super powers, the solution is to get yourself a dual air fryer with viewing windows, similar to a conventional oven would have.
