Ninja Foodi DZ071
Ninja Combi SFP701
The Ninja Foodi DZ071 is a better air fryer than the Ninja Combi SFP701 for most people. The Foodi makes very good quality fried food and finishes cooking quickly, while the Combi leaves only half of each batch well-cooked, despite taking longer to cook. The Foodi is also a bit more versatile, with a slightly wider range of fan speeds and dual cooking chambers. That said, the Combi doubles as a combination cooker, and some may prefer it for this reason; though, we haven't tested these functions.

Hey, thanks for your comment. You’re right, these products aren’t directly comparable; however, we still feel it’s useful to compare the air fryer functions of these appliances. To make the difference clearer, we’ve updated this comparison to mention that we haven’t tested the combi functions for this model. We’ve also added the SFP703A variant, which includes the additional accessories you mentioned, and have included a list of accessories for each variant. Hope this helps!
It doesnt make sense to compare these appliances - one is strictly an air fryer and the Combi is much more versatile - it can do pasta, rice, soups, stews as well as air fry or bake or roast or toast or proof or sous vide, etc. The Combi uses steam technology to crisp up foods and keep them moist at the same time. I have both but I only use the DZ071 to do fries, chicken wings or whole chickens - any other time is for reheating foods like pizza. You also don’t specify that the Combi has a 4.3 L dutch oven accessory to allow for more food to be cooked. Comparing these 2 is like comparing a bike to a car and you are testing only their ability to maneuver through traffic.
