Ninja Foodi DZ550
Instant Pot Duo Crisp 6.5QT
The Ninja Foodi DZ550 is a better air fryer than the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 6.5QT. That said, some may prefer the Instant Pot, as it doubles as a multicooker, although we haven't tested these functions. The dual-basket Ninja cooks more evenly, leaving more of each batch crispy and golden brown. It also offers a lot more versatility, thanks to its wide range of fan speeds. While both models preheat in about the same amount of time, the Ninja cooks significantly faster and maintains a more stable temperature throughout the cooking process.
